    Summary

    Two Houses, both alike in dignity
    In fair Venora, where we lay our scene

    Not a typo. ;) Three years after a brutal, bloody war that saw their formerly friendly queendoms at odds for the first time in history, Prince Steven Rogers of House Grant seeks to solidify the peace between Lehigh and Venora through an alliance--marriage with Prince James Barnes of House Buchanan, his childhood friend turned unexpected enemy. But after years as the Fist of Hydra and a long recovery from brainwashing and torture, Bucky isn't in a place to marry anyone, let alone someone he doesn't even remember. Stubborn to the core, afflicted by tragic losses, and still half in love with someone who might only be a memory, Steve and his family journey to Lynbrooke, the capital of Venora, to attempt to end the tension between their queendoms, and perhaps heal his wounded heart.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers would be the first to tell you he's had it rougher than some but better than most. His job at the coffee shop lets him do his art, work with his best friend, take care of his ma, and ogle the muscular mechanics at the local auto-body shop. His health and his love life could be better, but he's very aware of how lucky he is to have it this good. Oh, and live in Brooklyn. Simple life, simple pleasures.

    Is it really so much to ask to be able to get across the street in one piece? Apparently.

    Before he knows it, Steve finds himself on a collision course with every hotrod coming out of the lot, with the quiet but hunkalicious new hire at the body shop, and with... well, romance.

    Summary

    When Bucky is hit by a spell and de-aged to six-years-old, Steve brings him home, knowing he’s the only one who can care for him. Wracked with guilt, Steve initially ignores Bucky to focus on getting the spell reversed. Until a close call leads to a near disaster, and Steve is forced reevaluate his priorities; the little boy now in his care and what he needs from Steve.

    With help from Scott Lang and the rest of his teammates, Steve embraces the role of guardian. He makes mistakes, but also learns to see the world through a child’s eyes, rediscovering things not just about Bucky, but himself as well. As the days pass into weeks filled with trips to the zoo, giant teddy bears, and the sounds of Bucky’s giggles, Steve is faced with a difficult choice; allow Bucky to grow up happy and free, never knowing what his future holds, or reverse the spell and turn him back into an adult, with all the pain that life entails. Either choice will come at a cost, one both of them, but especially Bucky, will have to pay. But maybe, just maybe, with a little bit of luck, they’ll find their way and remember not only their love for each other, but how to play, carrying that new spark with them into the future and whatever it may hold.

    Summary

    While she muddles her way through grad school, Darcy is hired by Tony Stark to help deprogram Bucky Barnes now that Steve Rogers has found him and brought him back to Avengers Tower. A few weeks into the project, Steve approaches Darcy and asks if she'd consider having sex with him while Bucky watches them. Steve says they are both attracted to her, and he thinks it will help Bucky become more comfortable with people and sex. Darcy's not sure about that, but she IS a firm believer that when Captain America and his brooding best friend want you to get naked with them, you don't say no. The rape/non-con warning relates to two scenes (neither more than 2 pages) in two chapters in which Bucky reveals some memories of his time with HYDRA to Darcy. It does not relate to the present or the pairing(s).

    Summary

    Thanks to a nosy former foster brother, Tony knows what’s in written in his DCS file - Anthony Stark, aged 7, recent placements terminated in best interest of child in care, documented history of neglect, permanency plan undetermined, reunification plan pending case developments. Even better: parent A deceased, parent B incarcerated.

    Bouncing from home to home has been the defining factor of Tony’s life for the last four years. The future will undoubtedly be a cycle of lather, rinse, repeat, until the day he gets dumped on the street at 18, no longer anyone’s problem except his own. He’s long since accepted this reality.

    When his social worker drops him off at the doorstep of the Barnes-Rogers household, she seems to think this time will be different. Tony’s not convinced.

    Or: A boy is welcomed into the home of his new foster parents and their children. A boy learns to trust and love.
