I happen to be writing Bucky fic right now, actually
:DDDDD You should tell me more about that!
What are you looking for -- or maybe, what has fandom been doing that doesn't do it for you?
Well, mostly what I'm looking for are multiple 60.000 word epics dealing with the events of the movie, so what fandom hasn't been doing for me is mostly not breaking the speed of light while writing fic. ;)
What I really want is a shitton of h/c fic, really. I was so incredibly into the Winter Soldier's quiet, helpless confusion in that one scene (But I know him), and the way he just quietly submitted to his handlers hurting him, the way you could tell he was braced for pain basically through that entire scene, and yet didn't try to fight them at all. I want fic that deals with that - how fucked up he is, and how he's come to expect people hurting him, especially people who have power over him, people he wants to be able to please, and the way that would completely fuck him over if he ever tries to find his way back into a normal life, and the long complicated road to recovery. (I want at least one of those fics to be written by arsenic.)
Although the fic I'm currently idly thinking about when I can't sleep (but am not actually writing, because writing hasn't been happening at all, lately) is an AU where Fury suspects about Hydra early and sends one of Our Heroes undercover - not Steve, though, because no one would believe Captain America as an undercover agent for Hydra. Probably Clint, who, after the whole thing where he killed a bunch of SHIELD agents for Loki and probably hasn't been treated too kindly by his fellow agents after that, can believably play the part of a guy willing to join Hydra just for the sake of fucking SHIELD up. And somehow, while undercover, Clint ends up in control of the Winter Soldier.
So mostly that fic would be all about, you know, all the things I mentioned above about how fucked up Bucky is by that point, and Clint trying to be kind in an impossible situation without giving himself away, and Bucky not trusting him ONE LITTLE BIT. And the whole thing would also be a Steve/Bucky fic, but told from Clint's perspective, who wouldn't realize who Bucky is for a long time and not really understand why the Winter Soldier's so damn weird and intense about Captain America. So it would really mostly be about Clint and Bucky forming this shaky, tentative friendship between two people who don't remember how to trust, and a whole plot about taking down Hydra from the inside, and possibly there should be Clint/Natasha bits, too.
Actually, I should really finish my Natasha/Clint fic before even starting to think about writing anything else, sigh.
Well, like everyone else in fandom, it's Bucky going to the Smithsonian, but I have him go find Peggy instead of Steve afterward. MANY FEELS. FEELS ARE THE POINT. And probably there's going to be a sequel where HYDRA locks him up with Sam, for reasons.

Hahaha, yeah. Although I was surprised to find a couple of 10K stories already. I guess it's been out elsewhere for longer.

WORD TO THE LAST PART ESPECIALLY, holy crap. All of that sounds awesome - though maybe less want to please people and more being unable to figure out who he should listen to/obey, because his sense of self is so shitty that it takes him awhile to realize he should be listening to himself, because it feels like there's no one there to listen to. Until he starts to remember....

OMG I WANT THAT. UNDERCOVER. AMNESIA. KINDNESS AND TRAUMA. YESSSSSSSSS.
