#What if Clint was around during CA:WS

[lynlee494]

Chapter Ten of I'll Use You (As A Focal Point) is now live!

The Soldier’s understanding of the world begins to unravel after he completes a mission and finds a helpless and shivering kitten. Unable to leave, knowing the frail thing will die in the elements, the Soldier makes a choice...

Overwhelmed and now hiding from his handler's, things only get more complicated when he lays eyes on a picture of a familiar blonde face.

The Soldier can not risk contact, capture, and the inevitable return to Hydra and captivity would bring. He may remember Steve Rogers, but he also remembers Captain America. Similarly enhanced, the Captain would have the advantage, the Soldier’s movement would be limited with the kitten’s safety to consider.

He’ll seek out Steve Rogers, who seems to feature in nearly every memory with Bucky, but he’ll be cautious. Can hopefully glean from the exposure more about the time before Bucky – before he – was presumed dead in a war. From before Steve’s Bucky became Hydra’s, time stuttering by till the Soldier was born.

Call Me "Bucky"

read it on the AO3 at http://bit.ly/2WWOasH

by Ava_Dakedavra

Hermione Granger has been basically a glorified secretary at Shield for quite some time now, and she's less than thrilled. When she's given the opportunity to attempt to fix the Winter Soldier's memories, she's surprised by how...easy it seems?

“Well, officially, I’d been wandering around the streets and causing a ruckus, so Shield took me in. They’d called you in to help with my memory, and you’d been studying here yesterday to prepare.”

Well, that seemed about right, yet something was off. Hermione narrowed her gaze at him, and he seemed to grin wider at her glare. “And what about unofficially?”

“Well, I do seem to remember something about being a brainwashed Hydra assassin with a metal arm three days ago.”

PoliZ’s Bucky Barnes Bingo Masterpost

With less than a week before the deadline, I’m calling it -- here’s my  @buckybarnesbingo masterpost.  :^) 

I filled  21 squares (w00t!) for a total of 46,062 words  and made 4 separate bingos.   I wrote eight WinterIron fics (3 platonic),  two  WinterHawk, one  Stucky, one 1 Bucky/OFC (fem!Howard) and one General/no pairings fic.  Three were Explicit, seven were Teen and three were General ratings.

Quite a few of the squares were crossovers with other events, including the @tonystarkbingo,  @winterhawk-week and  @winterhawkbingo  and @fictober-event.    Thanks to all the hardworking mods who host events like this to encourage more fandom content - I’ve definitely written quite a bit more than I would have otherwise.  

Card and Fic details under the cut - remember kudos, comments, likes and reblogs fuel the Muse!  I’m also happy to take asks about any of the following - including the WIPs that will be my focus in the coming year.  

Aim to Please  (WinterHawk, Explicit, 7874 words 4/4 chapters) 

Clint and Barnes have to act the part of a honeymooning couple for an op. Except Clint kinda wishes they weren’t acting. (Y4 - Bedsharing,  K1 - KINK: Hand Job, B3 - Schmoop B1 - Mission Sex)

Alpha Force  (WinterIron, Teen, 766 word one-shot) 

Never get in between an alpha and his omega, especially when you’re dealing with superheroes. (B5: Interrupted by SuperVillians)

And Your Heart Beats In My Blood  (WinterIron, Teen, 8342 words 4/? chapter WIP) 

Tony Stark's soulmate died when they were both young; or so he thought. When a ghostly heartbeat continues to haunt him, Tony's AI proposes an unlikely hypothesis. (U2 - Tony Stark/Iron Man, C5 - Jailbreak)

Dueling Disguises (WinterIron, Teen, 1460 word one-shot, possible TBC) 

Junior SHIELD analyst James "Bucky" Barnes is in way over his head, impersonating a deadly mercenary in order to get evidence that Obadiah Stane is behind the contract to kill his boss, Tony Stark. In the middle of the mission, Bucky goes to a club to blow off some steam and meets a man with an uncanny resemblance to the billionaire genius. (Y1: Kink - Role Playing)

Forging the Shield (Remix) (Stucky, Explicit, 6617 words 3/3 chapters) 

Bucky didn’t know when or how he’d fallen in love with his best friend, but he was almost certain it was before this whole mess with him presenting as omega. Staying with Steve and his ma as he was going into a heat wasn’t exactly his choice, but it might just work out after all. (C2 - WinterShield & C4 - First Time)

From a Distance (platonic WinterIron, General,  840 word one-shot)

It Would Sure Do Me Good (to Do You Good) (platonic WinterIron, General, 611 word one-shot)

Bucky shares a recovered memory during a late-night visit to Tony’s workshop and returns the favor by talking Tony into getting some sleep. (K5: [image of Bucky in the Chair from CA:WS])

Not Quite Kidding Around (WinterIron, Teen, 555 word one-shot) 

When Bucky blurts out a semi-hidden desire post-shift, Tony doesn’t know how to react. (Y2: Domesticity)

Shifting Alliances (Remix) - (Bucky/OFC [fem!Howard], Teen 4448 words 2/2 chapters)

The Soldier is sent on an assignment in Berlin to kidnap a brilliant American engineer and inventor and discovers that she is someone from his forgotten past. (C3 -Free Square & K4 - Peggy Carter)

Torn by what we've done and can't undo (platonic WinterIron, Teen, 7888 words, 4/5 chapter WIP)

Bucky Barnes is living a quiet life in Bucharest when his world is turned upside down twice within twenty-four hours. Now nearly four thousand miles from home, he is called to face his past, pay a debt, and begin again.  (B4 - Regrets, U5 - Forgiveness U3 - Super Soldier Serum)
