New old couple or is that old new couple?

As I mentioned in an older entry, I've been reading the first omnibus from Ed Brubaker's Captain America run. I anticipate buying yet more of his run for my birthday next week, because I've discovered a slight problem. While I love Steve and his rugged blonde good looks, I appear to have developed a bit of a crush on the older James Buchanan "Bucky" "Winter Soldier" "Captain America" Barnes. I still have issues with the younger version, but I think it's a kid sidekick issue more than Bucky's portrayal. I do love that he really hasn't changed in some ways. He's still a little cocky and he still gets accused of cheating at cards.

I've also discovered that I love the interactions between him and Black Widow. They really shouldn't work together as a couple and yet they do. Somehow I have acquired a favorite non-X-men Marvel couple. How did this happen?

I've found one fic thus far: 20/20 by terra, a lovely back and forth of time and perspective.
