Summary
There is very little that could be described as normal about John Walker. He's… odd, no matter how desperately he tries to mask it. Everyone knows. Everyone always knows.

Summary
“Hey! No. No. Stay awake.” Bob slapped his cheek lightly again, terrified of how light the contact felt. “I don’t— I don’t know what else to do if you stop breathing again.”
The confession came out small, almost childlike. For all the noise in the room (the dripping faucet, the sound of John’s ragged breaths), the silence that followed it was louder.
Bob stayed there, one hand hovering over John’s chest, just counting each uneven rise, whispering under his breath:
“Please don’t make me do this again.” -

Summary
“Walker!” the female voice was back, in his ear but muffled strangely. He reached up and grabbed her forearms where they were looped over his chest, supporting his weight even as he struggled to get away from her. His fingers wrapped around her arms in a tight grip, squeezing firmly. “Come on, Walker. Open your eyes.”
His eyes were open already. She didn’t know what she was talking about. He opened his eyes and the world changed around him as he blinked away the residual burn, tears running down his face in more force than when he had gone through a gas chamber. He looked down where his hands were squeezing body armor – familiar body armor, black and covered in nicks and scratches and dust. He coughed and lurched forward as his stomach revolted against his body.
“I’m sorry,” he gasped when he managed to catch his breath enough in between retches. “I killed–I killed him. I’m sorry.”

Summary
John used to be good at following orders, so good that it led to him being dishonorably discharged and losing everything that he had thought made him himself. Yet, he still followed. He didn’t know what that said about his character.
Now? Now he was here with the Thunderbolts, considered to be the “next generation” of Avengers.
And Yelena, his leader, won’t stop ignoring him.
But John is more than just a good soldier, more than just his title, more than the expectations placed upon him. If only he could believe it.

Summary
John hates fire.
Really, he does.
Most times, if someone noticed his reaction to things, he could chalk it up to war memories and no one would ask him any further.
But really his hate of fire started way back when he was a child.
He can still vividly remember what it smelt like, how his eyes burned, the way his skin peeled.
He remembers it all.
How can’t he? It’s one of his earliest memories.Series

America's Ass(hole) by wawabaggins
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thunderbolts (Movie 2025)
21 May 2025
Tags
Summary
This was a stupid idea. Even if he did consider making an account… what would his content be? Who would it be aimed towards? A name would have to be made, and John lacked any creative bone in his body, preferring order and being told what to do.
It had to be something witty, enough to allude to his secret identity, to pull an audience in. Show the allure of his blue eyes and blonde hair, a stereotypical assumption of what Captain America should be, what he should’ve been. John’s skin rises at this new coming of himself, a conglobation of Captain America and US Agent, formed into something perverted, used for pleasure.
He starts typing, one deliberate key at a time, stopping when he finishes the word, only to press the backspace and add in brackets.
(Hole).
America’s Ass(hole).

Summary
John knows that Valentina is manipulating him, but that doesn’t mean he can do anything about it. He’s not just going to let her use him as a pawn in her campaign against Sam Wilson, though.
When Val changes her strategy from manipulating to threatening, John is forced to make a choice that he really doesn’t want to. Sam hates him, his team hates him, Val hates him, and the public hate him, but somehow he feels like this will only make everything worse.

Summary
A week off at a quiet resthouse turns into compromise with teeth: John wants space; Bucky keeps ending up ten steps too close. Storms, bed-sharing, and a cast-iron kind of care force them to decide whether boundaries can hold against need.
Sometimes an apology is forced just to keep a relationship moving forward. It’s not normal—definitely not okay—but Bucky and John aren’t normal, and they live very not-normal lives.
This is Part 2 of Pie Day, Truth Day . I didn’t post it as Chapter 2 because I want that one to stand alone, and this piece works as one of the possible paths the story could take.
