History Fanfic / InfiniteCoffeeAndProtectionDetail

* LiteralMinded: Barnes, albeit in a slightly different way. For instance, when Steve reminisces about the time when he put a smelt in the Bucky-person's Sunday shoes, Barnes agrees with Bucky getting angry about it- not because it stank the place up and possibly ruined his good shoes, but because aquatic creatures don't belong in footwear.

* HiddenDepths: Lampshaded and referenced by Hill, when JARVIS orders an extra-fussy English afternoon tea setting as a snack for the team and Clint unexpectedly gushes over the china and delicately pours everyone tea. Clint tends to have a taste for the finer things- during the same scene, he's outraged that some HYDRA jerk apparently has a lost Vermeer painting in their possession and tries to make arrangements to steal it from them, and he also knows quite a bit about poetry.

* ControlFreak: Deconstructed; when the Howling Commandos were founded, Bucky took to bossing them around and mother-henning them constantly in an attempt at drawing attention away from the fact that he was going to pieces both mentally and physically. When he fell off the train and apparently died, the team fell apart and couldn't function anymore.

* DoesntKnowTheirOwnBirthday: Chapter 23 of ''The Long Road Begins At Home'' centers around Steve taking Barnes out for an entire day doing Barnes's favorite things from both before the war and after HYDRA. Barnes can't help but enjoy it, but he keeps wondering to himself why Steve's doing all this, until Steve presents him with a cupcake with a lit candle and tells him happy birthday. The entire concept of birthdays wasn't even on Barnes's radar, so he's completely caught off-guard. Back during ''This, You Protect'', he correctly guessed the passcode on Steve's phone to be 0310 (March 10th), Barnes's own birthday, but failed to recall just why those particular numbers were significant to Steve.

* BadMoodRetreat: Part of Barnes' protocol is to retreat to a safe spot when he's upset.

* {{Golem}}: When Steve helps Esther carry her groceries and asks if the brisket she bought was for Shabbos (the Jewish sabbath), she seems surprised that he knows what Shabbos is and compares his size to that of a golem.

* DeathOfPersonality: After Barnes makes contact with Steve, it's slowly revealed that Barnes isn't quite the same person as the Bucky-person Steve knew back in the forties and earlier. One of the first differences is that Barnes doesn't like orange juice, while the Bucky-person did. This is also discussed in ''Team Building Exercises'', when Thor tells Barnes that there are healers on Asgard that could easily restore Barnes back to what he was before HYDRA got him, ergo, turn him back into the Bucky-person. Barnes considers the offer briefly, until he thinks on the ways he's changed since escaping HYDRA, and the life and identity he built for himself. He wonders if the Bucky-person would like Cat Eleanor, or know how to make the sushi chef at his favorite restaurant laugh, or remember the Olds or how hard he worked to become a person again. In the end, he decides not to accept.

* MindHive: After Barnes's mission shifted from "kill" to "protect", his mind fragmented into [[FreudianTrio three distinct entities]] in a similar vein to dissociative identity disorder. [[TheSpock Mission Imperative]] (the Winter Soldier) gives him all-caps RoboSpeak orders that keep him focused on the mission. [[TheKirk Mission Briefing]] (Bucky Barnes) has access to his memories from before the fragmentation, going all the way back to his childhood, and decides which ones to show him. Finally, [[TheMcCoy Mission Head]] (James Barnes) is Barnes's public face, and makes decisions based on the information Briefing gives him, and his orders from Imperative. Head frequently debates and talks with Imperative and Briefing, to the point of Head asking Briefing or Imperative for clarification or thanking Imperative for overriding his old HYDRA code words. Although Barnes doesn't have control over what the different parts of him say to him, he can choose how he interprets or acts on their input, or even decline or ignore it altogether.

* NoYou: According to Steve, Bucky's drink is not coffee, because coffee is a mild form of punishment. Bucky's inner narration retorts, "You're a mild form of punishment."

* KnifeNut: Barnes always has at least three knives hidden on his person. He once went so far as to modify a pair of dress shoes to have a blade hidden in the toe and heel. In his defense, they do come in handy for protection detail.
-->''Everyone needs one more knife. He takes three.''

* SitcomArchnemesis: Two examples, both one-sided.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Besides Barnes' years of captivity as the Asset, Lidia is also implied to have a dark past and shares things in common with Barnes. She is also often compared to Natasha with similar mannerisms.

* CreepyGood: Downplayed, because the story is from Barnes's perspective and his actions make sense to him, but Barnes's behavior toward Steve in ''This, You Protect'' would be pretty disturbing to someone who didn't know his intentions. He stalks Steve, breaks into Steve's residences, and bugs Steve's personal effects.
