James Buchanan Barnes may have been the Best of Best Friends Forever with Steven Grant Rogers 70 years ago, but that position had been given to Samuel Thomas Wilson 5 odd years ago, and it was a position Sam wasn’t going to give up without a fight. If Bucky was going to suddenly appear and totally whisk Steve away on a white horse and get a happy ever after in their BBFF fairytale. Heck no, not on Sam’s watch.
Sam and Bucky compete for Steve’s platonic affections. Or… at least, that was what was supposed to happen.
Inspired from a tumblr post: A fic in Sam’s POV where Sam and Bucky are trying to prove themselves to be Steve’s REAL TRUE BFF in increasingly ridiculous ways until Sam sees Steve and Bucky making out and is like ohshit the deadliest assassin in the world thinks I’m trying to steal his man.
The problem, Bucky thinks now that he has most of his memories back, is that his whole entire world has always revolved around Steve Rogers. Steve has been always been half of Bucky’s identity. Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers’ best friend. Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers’ wingman. Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers’ teammate. And now, well, now Steve had other people to fill those positions. And of course, of course he’d always been a little bit in love with Steve. So when he overhears Steve telling Natasha that he’s finally found someone he’d like to date, someone with similar life experience, Bucky clings blindly to the hope that maybe, just maybe, Steve is talking about him.
Written for the capkink meme; “To the Winter Soldier, there are basically three kinds of people in the world: superiors, mission support, and targets. He doesn’t have the context to understand things like friendship. So what he sees in the Smithsonian exhibit and what little he remembers or feels about his past, he interprets in that light. He thinks that Steve must have been his handler during World War II. That the reason he couldn’t kill Steve and the reason he was smiling in the museum photos was because Steve was a good superior who treated him well (or at least didn’t hurt him like Pierce and Rumlow, which to him might be the best he can imagine).
Thinking he understands the situation, he decides to report to Steve. Cue misunderstandings, confusion, and heartache for both of them.”
“That good?” Bucky asked. He lay on his side with his arm tucked under his pillow, almost as boyish as Steve remembered, but more watchful. Something that could have been, that Steve hoped was, a shadow of a smile. Open like a book but hard to read, like he’d been written over in another language.

The title is Latin for “utmost good faith,” a standard of contract law which assumes that both parties are going into things with full knowledge and disclosure. Which this does not have.
Preconditions: One Sasha Marozow – internationally renowned assassin for hire, known as the Winter Soldier, ex-Hydra operative freelancing for the last five years; One Steve Rogers, Captain America – recently defrosted national hero and Avenger; One assassination contract; One set-up known in the intelligence community as the “honeytrap”.
Expected Result: One Winter Soldier in custody, the name of his employer attained.
It cut Bucky to the core and he hated that more than anything. That as much as he could let Steve down, as he could get things wrong, he was still Bucky Barnes enough to care so very much about Steve Rogers.
“Steve,” Bucky said with a tired sigh, “please not tonight. I can’t do it tonight.”
“Can’t do what?” Steve asked.
“I can’t pretend tonight. I can’t be someone I don’t remember how to be, not tonight. Try me again tomorrow. I’ll muster it up, I swear. But tonight, I am so tired, pal.”
The Soldier should not be standing here, in the middle of a crowded room with obstructed exits, risking discovery with every second he remains rooted to the spot – but.
These are from a book called Disorder in the Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place.

oh my god these are great
fuck this is like reading a jokes and not actual quotes
“Can you give us an example of something you forgot?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s amazing how a kind, gentle tone and a pair of admiring eyes can change the sentence: ‘Your eyes are so brown!’ to the most adoring, loving one in the word.
WHYYYYYYYYY??? Why did they delete the scenes where they show Steve adjusting to the “future”??? 😢
They say that it’s about 30 minutes of Steve’s scenes that they cut off which makes me both angry and sad because I NEED that scenes! Steve Rogers is not only Captain America! He is a man who has had to face so many things in such a short period of time, and all alone because everyone who knew is dead, or doesn’t remember him 😢 that is why finding Bucky is so important to him, because Bucky is his family, his connection in life, the person who has known him all his life, the person with whom he shares experiences with, who understands
And then they did it AGAIN in AOU! 😡
And let’s not forget about this one in Civil War! “I gotta get me one of those”
Because YES, there were more scenes/interaction between Bucky and Steve. For example, this one, and we might never get to know what whats going on or what they were going to talk about OR WHAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO DO!!!…
People have their own stigmas about it. I know when people are considering me for jobs sometimes it’s, ‘Well, you’re in a comic-book movie.’ And I’m, like, ‘But I’m killing myself to try to do the best I can!’
