Summary
The Winter Soldier has been sentenced to life without parol. His entire world had been condensed to a hot, cramped cell that he hasn't seen the outside of in the four years since his apprehension. It's hell. He has no means of escape, no means of terminating his suffering, and no means of distraction...that is, until he's assigned a new guard.
Steve Rogers is assigned the Winter Soldier as his singular charge. He expects a sadistic, violent murderer. What he finds instead is a broken, tormented man with no memory of his past life, and no control over what had been done to him. He's a victim. Not a monster. And Steve won't stand to see him pay for crimes over which he had no control.Series

Summary
Freedom wasn't the end of the story.
For Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, 'happily ever after' didn't come with Bucky's exoneration. Instead, they were greeted by uncertainty, and fear; unemployment, and the heavy, hanging knowledge that the skeleton had been ripped from their relationship. There were no longer any rules, boundaries, or guidelines, and it was tearing Bucky apart. After a lifetime of captivity, and subjugation, Bucky had no concept of how to function without a figure of control over him, a figure Steve refused to be.
Suddenly, it was no longer just them against the world.
Suddenly, they had to face something even more terrifying.
The realization that maybe, they didn't know each other at all.
