Transient, Transition by BethCGPhoenix (1900 words)
"To everyone who doesn’t live there, D.C.'s just a convenient reservoir for an entire country's emotions. Steve can relate." A really lovely look at Steve figuring out the nation's capitol and how it is one lives there.
He worries for a moment that the people standing behind him will recognize him. But here, Steve's more recognizable when he wears a mask.

The Only World We've Got by andibeth82 (2800 words)
Sharon Carter, and where she gets her toughness. I always love seeing stories about Sharon and Peggy and how they're close; this one has bonus excellent Natasha too.
“Your mother was not wrong to reprimand you,” Peggy says with a voice that sounds like it’s seen war, and Sharon is not yet old enough to understand that it has. “But you were also not wrong to fight back.”

Hi all! I'm thrilled to get this party started. Let's shake out a few. Please feel free to add your own, either in new posts or in the comments!

The Care and Feeding of Traumatized Assassins by sholio
I'm super into these Winter Soldier fix-it fics, and this one does a nice job of mimicking the film's way of making Bucky present by making him absent. Also a good take on how to deal with who Bucky is now. Features Steve, Sam and Natasha, to great effect.
By the third or fourth time that he comes home to the feeling of not-quite-right, the unsettling sense that things in the apartment have been moved around, he's gone from suspicion to a dead certainty.

Sharon Carter/Agent 13 POV and backstory! Talks about her relationship with SHIELD, Peggy and the events of Cap 2.
Sharon Carter grew up knowing the feel of bullets in her fingers, not rosaries. She learned Mandarin, German and Japanese, not Latin, because Latin was a dead language and Sharon, even at eight, knew her work would be for the living.

In the Land That Our Grandchildren Knew by domarzione
So Domenika Marzione has written more than 400K about Team Cap. This is a rich, interesting (and only 15K) look at Bucky both before he enlists (or was drafted, depending on who you ask) and through the experiments Hydra performs on him in the first movie.
Once they'd saved up enough cash, it took them more than a month to find a day to get out to the World's Fair.
