Sebastian Stan brings so much to this role. He doesn't get a lot of actual lines, but he has so much presence.
I am so glad you're on board the good ship Steve/Bucky! I don't yet have any CA: Civil War fic recs, but I am happy to share some of my favorites written before the latest movie.
-an endlessly upward world by kaydeefalls: a series of two fics plus a vid. Great characterizations and lovely prose. The first fic is Bucky trying to figure things out largely alone, the second is Steve bringing Bucky in and not really dealing well with the complicated reality of that.
-through smoke, solid ground by magdaliny. Bucky recovery fic, full of feels and interesting interactions with other Avengers, and a happy ending. Second person, but I suggest giving it a shot even if that POV isn't usually your thing.
-Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail series by Owlet. Unique, hilarious, touching tale of Bucky going from pretty much feral to a weird, damaged yet functional member of society, complete with a bunch of busybody elderly friends and an obsession with food and fancy coffee drinks, not to mention a somewhat codependent but still very sweet relationship with Steve. The story where Bucky and Steve finally make it a physical relationship ("Upgrade: Advanced Happiness Skills") is so very full of joy.
-lonely houses off the road by Etharei. Bucky returns to Steve, but not before meeting all the other Avengers. Amusing but also poignant.

-Reconstruction Site and Amidst the Rubble (We Can Build a Better Us) by EmilianaDarling. Just really nice character growth. Among the first fics I read in this pairing, and still in my favorites.
-Poltergeists by dirtybinary. AU of the end of CA: Winter Soldier where Bucky takes Steve with him after dragging him out of the Potomac.
