Hey I’m looking for some recommendations!! I’d like something with Bucky snapping out of his mind washing if there’s any fics about that! Thank you so much!!
TBH pretty much all of the recovery and post-TWS fics are like that. Here are a few specific ones:
There Is No Shortage of Blood (WIP) by Dira Sudis (dsudis)
The long slow recovery of Bucky Barnes after his escape from HYDRA.
(And the longer, slower recovery of his sex life.)
despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained)Â by praximeter (Zimario)
“They really didn’t want the mask to come off.” Hill thumbed through the scans, and pulled out a film that she then handed over to Sam, face mostly expressionless but for the flat line of her pursed lips.
Sam accepted the film and held it up to the light, angling so both he and Steve could see it, squinting at the outline of the Winter Soldier’s skull, and the blips of unnatural white that showed up, God, in his brain, not to mention about half his teeth, plus the mask, with its thin protrusions—
“Those are pins,” Steve realized. He looked over at Hill. “The mask—it’s nailed to his face.”
Hill’s face was as unmoved as ever. “Like I said. They really didn’t want it coming off.”
the gravedigger's handbook by idrilka (M, 35K WIP)
Sometimes it's the most difficult thing, coming home. They both learn that, in their own ways. (In the end, Bucky comes back to Steve. In the end, it is all that matters.)
Circling Back by chaya (E, 60K)
Steve looks for Bucky, Bucky finds Steve, Steve tries desperately to put Bucky back together. Bucky tries desperately to let him. (Spoilers for Winter Soldier.)
The man on the bridge by boopboop (AO3 login required) (M, 108K)
Steve Rogers turning up at Tony's door in the middle of the night might be a bit out of character, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. Stranger things have happened.
Steve Rogers turning up at Tony's door with an amnesiac assassin - who may or may not have some of Tony's personally designed hardware attached where his arm should be - well that's just far too interesting to turn away, even if Tony is trying to avoid all things S.H.I.E.L.D these days.
Reconstruction Site by EmilianaDarling (T, 8K)
He is the Winter Soldier.
He is James Buchanan Barnes.
He’s not one and he’s not the other, and he’s not sure if that makes him anything worth saving.
[In which the Winter Soldier leads Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson on a wild goose chase through Eastern Europe so that he can learn more about the man who actually thinks he can be saved. This fic takes place chronologically second in the series but was written first.]
Parallel Constructions by freshbakedlady (T, 14K)
In the absence of orders, the man wearing the face of Bucky Barnes must figure out who he will be. The answer, mostly, is "somebody Steve Rogers can love." Nothing so easy should ever take this much work.
i can feel the cold changing us inside by tesselated (M, 24K)
Months later, when he’s sitting on the bench in the park in Washington D.C. he knows Steve Rogers jogs in, when Steve stops dead in his tracks looking like he saw a ghost (and really, he did), the first words out of his mouth are, “Have you been to Brooklyn lately?”

a post-tws bucky recovery fic
This, You Protect by owlet (T, 64K)
The mission resets abruptly, from objective: kill to objective: protect
Hard to Say by betts (M, 17K)
“What worked for me was a nice, solid punch in the face. I’m not sure that’ll do much for you, though. Looks like you’ve been through enough already,” Hawkeye said.
