In your arms (I think I might survive) by MarvaLamb

5 times Bucky is compromised while sharing a bunk with one Gale Cleven + 1 time Gale climbs into Bucky's bunk because he might also be damned by his feelings for the man "Gale is a fire, and Bucky would be glad to burn for five eternities if being here in Buck's arms for even another moment is the reward for the dangerous inferno of this man's embrace."

Timeless by blueviolingirl28

She should've known that a love like theirs was doomed in this time of war. All she knows is that one way or another, she's getting them through this war-even if it means going to the front-lines herself.

"If we were best friends why did he forget about me after making a promise he wouldn't? I mean I always knew people in my life would leave at some point but I never expected him to. I thought I'd get him back, but after the accident will I?"

Edelweiss || Bucky x Reader by ahsokas_second_saber

"A gift." One guard says to someone else in the room as he leaves. I groan in pain and scrunch myself into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut. Seconds later I hear shuffling and then someone is beside me. "Y/N?" Asks a voice. No- Bucky's voice. My whole body relaxes and I let out a soft breath. He's ok. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Staying together has always been the most important thing to Y/N Rogers. After the death of her mother left her an orphaned 15-year-old, her friendship with her older brother Steve and best friend Bucky mattered more than ever. She latched onto them, finding some bittersweet solace in their closeness. In turn, they finished raising her. The three were inseparable. Even now, six years later, nothing has changed. So when Bucky and Steve both leave to fight in the war the last thing she's going to do is stay in Brooklyn. Nothing's too far if it keeps their trio together. Not leaving everything she knows behind, not shoving down feelings she's refused to acknowledge for years, not even risking her life time and time again. It's the kind of commitment fueled by an infinite amount of love, but guaranteed to end in disaster, every single time.
