Summary
Steve is Captain America three years after he woke up from the ice. He likes his Avengers friends and his job but he’s burnt out from saving the world so many times, and he misses the Howlies and Peggy. Bucky is a finance manager at Stark Industries who’s dating Brock Rumlow but knows he can do better and is secretly pining for the tiny, blond boy in old-fashioned clothes who shows up as his soulmate in his dreams. This is how Steve and Bucky meet in a terrible car crash in the midst of a snowstorm in New York, how they realize they’re soulmates, and how they come together through trauma, pain, loss, pining, and uncertainty, and find love.

Summary
Now that they’ve gotten so close to Bucky, Steve’s thoughts and feelings have gone back into overdrive. At the beginning of their search, Steve was coming off the drama and violence of the Battle of the Triskelion and recovering from his injuries, and poured his heart into finding Bucky. The string of disappointments and false leads frustrated him, dimmed his zeal a bit, but this new development has brought everything surging back, all the feelings, all the memories.
They wash over him in a flood as he stands in this field in Bumfuck, New York, looking up at the stars. The life he had with Bucky before the war…becoming Captain America and rescuing Bucky at Kreischberg…losing Bucky from that train in the Alps…bringing the Valkyrie down and all those years of darkness in the ice…adapting to the twenty-first century and finding Bucky again, only to lose him, wondering if he’ll ever find him again…or if he even wants to be found.
The breeze ruffles Steve’s hair as he drops his head and clenches his fists.
Buck.
I miss you.
Where are you?

Summary
“This is Steve, one of my...co-workers,” Barton says teasingly. “Steve, this is James Barnes, the tattoo artist I was telling you about.”
Steve has heretofore been dumbstruck as he looks at James Barnes, because he is the most beautiful human Steve’s ever met, with the possible exception of Peggy 70 years ago. His long dark hair is pulled into a messy bun at the back of his head, and it frames the face of an angel, with a long-aquiline nose, a wide sensitive mouth, cheekbones to cry over, and a jawline that could kill at twenty paces, covered with a light layer of stubble.
And most importantly, large grey-blue eyes that light up and scan over Steve as Barnes shakes his hand.
“Nice to meet you, Steve,” he says in his husky voice, and this is where Steve has to remind himself how to be a functioning human being in a society.
“Good to meet you too, James,” Steve says, his voice only cracking a little. James’ hand is warm and strong and dry, and Steve could happily hold it forever. He does let go after a few seconds like a normal person, however.
“Bucky. Call me Bucky,” says James. “Everyone does.”
“OK...Bucky,” Steve says, and this time his voice behaves.

Summary
Steve turns to Bucky.
“Bucky, I…” he starts. But Bucky puts one metal finger against Steve’s lips.
“Do you want to talk about it right now?” he says, not unkindly. Steve pauses, then shakes his head.
“No,” he rasps. “It’s the same thing…same as always.”
Bucky nods. “Yeah,” he says in an almost-whisper. “You need me right now…don’t you.”
Steve nods miserably.
“What do you need,” Bucky presses.
“Buck, please,” says Steve after a moment. “Just…please.”
Bucky smiles and cradles Steve’s cheek in his metal hand.
“I’ve got you, baby,” he murmurs, as he leans in to kiss Steve’s lips.

Summary
Steve shakes his head. “I carried you through the portal,” he says softly. “And you were in really bad shape and I was walking forward, wondering what to do. And it was pitch dark and I blundered into some sort of pond and got us all wet.” He looks down ruefully at the soaked pajamas clinging to his legs and rubs his hand down Bucky’s shoulder and arm.
“...and when I laid you down here,” Steve finishes. “You went all pale and still and then you gasped for air and sat up.”
Bucky gives Steve a hesitant look.
“Steve,” he says, reaching out for his husband’s hand. “What the fuck is going on.”

Summary
Bucky is a grad student and part-time model. Steve is a law clerk and aspiring judge. They live three blocks apart in Brooklyn Heights and are stuck in unhealthy relationships with guys who don’t appreciate them as they deserve. They live just out of view of each other, until late one night when they almost meet...and early one morning when they finally come together in an unexpected - and unexpectedly dramatic - way. A mysterious recluse named Nick Fury and his beautiful dog Bella may or may not have something/everything to do with all this.
