Summary
When he was young, he used to dream. All the time. Used to remember his dreams, too.
But then came war. And ice. And the nightmares were waking, and the timeless vacuum was silent. No breath in his lungs, only wisps of oxygen to his brain. Pure, improbable stasis: there were no dreams.
This, though. This is different. This is beautiful, and peaceful, and there's Steve, and—
This won't last.
But then: the first step never does.
SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.

Summary
“A man in great mourning once wrote,” T’Challa closes his eyes, hums a bar that’s vaguely recognizable before quoting softly:
“It is well, with my soul.”
Bucky’s mind goes to pews, and to hymnals. Bucky swallows, and closes his eyes. He doesn’t know if he can do that, if he can feel that; if he’s even capable.
But he can damn well try.
SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
Direct follow-up to Such Bitter Refuge, which—again—is fixing that one particular mid-credits scene.Series

Summary
By the time Steve’s blood stops seeping from his body, the battle’s largely ebbed, at least for now.
By the time Steve’s blood stops pouring out of him, it’s bounding through his veins with the kind of blind-bold hope it hasn’t dared to touch in decades.
“Bucky?”
SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
Sequel to Bear It No More, because having healed Bucky, post-credits scene? We now need to heal Steve, as well.Series

Summary
“The only choice I will ever make, from this moment on,” Bucky frames Steve’s face, and holds every tear from those eyes against his fingertips, lets them soak into the whorls just to hold Steve that little bit deeper under his skin; “is to be wherever you are. If that’s what you want—”
“That’s what I want,” Steve gasps, and the feel of him, the weight of him is the weight of absolution, and a line that doesn’t end. “God,” Steve chokes, trembling:
“That’s all I want.”
SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
**First Post-CW Credits Scene Fix-It of the Larger Fix-It Series HERE**
Sequel to Feel Strength From These Hands (and posted just now to celebrate the US film release), because oh, if we’re talking about Steve healing, post-Civil War? You didn’t really think that was a single-fic’s worth of a project, did you? (And if it’s Bucky helping him to heal, did we really want it to be just a single-fic’s worth of a project?)Series

Summary
And the truth, in the end, was always going to be this: Steve could have searched forever for his Bucky, but it would have been in vain.
Because in truth, it had been Bucky—from the very first—who always came back for his Steve.
Always.
SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR.
