Text of prompt: The asset has a wonderful day with its favorite handler I love fics where Winter is all broken and pathetic and NEEDS to be a useful, obedient asset to Steve, whom he thinks is his handler. In most of those fics, he gets better eventually, and Steve etc help him realize he's a real person with autonomy and all that. But what if Bucky never breaks out of the asset mindframe? How does Steve cope?
Basically I just want more of those lovely trash tropes, e.g. where the asset gets to pick its favorite sugary cereal, but it's only okay because its pleasure at consuming it gives its handler pleasure; or it learns to disagree with and be snarky at Steve like the old Bucky Barnes was, but it has to think of it as a game, and it always needs reassurance and approval after the "disobedience play" is over. Or it loves being fingered or eaten out by Steve, but is only able to stand it when Steve frames it as a way that he wants to make use of it or as a diagnostic check on its semen-producing functionality. And please throw in all the goodhandler!Steve tropes too, like Steve establishing rituals and routines and learning to give clear directions so the asset doesn't get anxious that it's not obeying properly, or giving as-painless-as-possible "punishments" when Bucky thinks it's necessary, or meticulously performing "maintenance" (giving baths? brushing hair?) in various ways.
