Fanon
This ship is rare as they have never met and Dottie is not that well known. However, some fans believe they are similar to WinterWidow and think they would be a good pair because of their shared similarities with each other. This ship first started by a line said between Bucky and Steve in Captain America: Civil War when they were reminiscing about old times where Bucky tried to impress a redhead named Dolores that he called Dot. Since the movie came out a year after the first season of Agent Carter aired and right after it's second season finished, some fans believe this was a reference to Dottie herself, implying something shared between them.

It is a popular idea in fanworks that Bucky and Dottie met when she was undercover before the war, and once Bucky became the Winter Soldier, they begin to work more closely together on missions. Overtime, they begin to break down each other's brainwashing programs because they come to care for one another. Sometimes it is explored if Dottie is put under Cryostasis with Bucky or if she aged when they met in modern times.

For some fanworks the idea of Bucky and Dottie trying to help each other cope with the 21st century is a popular route to venture. It is believed they can be moral chains for one another, helping each other break free of the mind control and live their lives the way they want to. This leads to Dottie working alongside the Avengers with Bucky.
