Summary
Bucky doesn’t want a personal nurse. He’s a perfectly capable super soldier, so why is Stark assigning a medic to him? He literally has to run away from you so you won’t waste his time patching him up.
You, meanwhile, are just trying to do your damn job. You might have had some violent or uncooperative patients in the past, but Barnes has actually taken to hiding from you. It’s petty, immature, and you resent him maybe just as much as he resents you.
This might be the stupidest game of cat and mouse ever played, but both of you are determined to win. The only thing is, neither of you expected to get your aggression out so… physically.

Summary
When your best friends demanded proof that your ‘perfect’ boyfriend wasn’t imaginary, there was clearly only one solution— fake a relationship with the grumpy-but-gorgeous neighbor across the hall. Bucky Barnes was many things: ex-assassin, world-class brooder, and definitely not your type. But when he needed a wedding date to avoid his meddling friends (the illustrious Sam Wilson), your mutually beneficial arrangement seemed to be foolproof.
The plan: fake smiles, strategic hand-holding, AND absolutely no falling in love.
The problem: Bucky was surprisingly soft beneath the gruff exterior, your friends were dangerously nosy, and it was hard to keep things just pretend when his smirk made your heart race.
When the fake feelings start feeling real, would you and Bucky survive the wedding season with your hearts intact?

Summary
She thought her time on the ice was over. But when a former figure skater turned team physician lands a dream job with the world’s top hockey team, the last thing she expects is to be thrown back into the world she left behind—or to fall for the team’s star player.
James “Bucky” Barnes is everything she’s sworn off: cocky, gorgeous, and dangerously charming. Their chemistry is instant, electric… and completely off-limits. But the more time they spend together—behind the scenes, in the locker room, and after hours—the harder it becomes to ignore the heat simmering beneath the surface.
He calls her Sunshine. She calls him trouble. And when the line between professional and personal starts to blur, both of them will have to decide if they’re willing to risk it all for something real.
A slow-burn, hockey romance packed with tension, banter, secret touches, and locker room heat.

Summary
Bucky Barnes. The boy next door. Your brother’s best friend. The guy you’ve been in love with for as long as you can remember. Unrequited, that is, seeing that he only thinks of you as a sister (at least, that’s what you always thought). It’s been about a decade since you’ve returned home and reunited with the boy - now man - with stunning blue eyes and a smile that still puts a million butterflies in your stomach. You never expected to come back, thinking that you’d spend the rest of your life as a famous artist in Los Angeles with your boyfriend/manager. But things change, life gets messy, and now you’re back in your childhood bedroom living with your mom and working at the townie bar to make ends meet while you try to figure out what the hell to do next. The one thing that hasn’t changed? Bucky Barnes is still the boy next door, and there’s no running from him this time.
Warnings: ANGST (hello I’m back lol), body image issues, negative self-talk, emotionally abusive relationship, minor mentions of parental abuse, mentions of death, mentions of alcohol/drinking, very very veryyy minor hints of eating disorder/diet culture, protective Bucky unleashing his wrath toward people who upset Reader.Series

Summary
You’re a legal assistant at Rogers and Barnes. It’s a boutique law firm, and while it can be hectic at times, they treat you well and you’re happy working there.
They keep the firm small. You’ve been there for three years and cultivated professional relationships with everyone in the office. In fact, you’d almost say you have a friendly relationship with the partners– Mr. Barnes the most, even though you work directly for Mr. Rogers.
Bucky, meanwhile, has always had a romantic interest in his law partner’s legal secretary. After so many years of flirting that went nowhere, he’s frustrated. It’s like he hits a wall of professionalism, a barrier you aren’t receptive to letting him cross. His solution? Just blow up the wall.
