    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

    Summary

    “Captain America embodies unity…” Bucky leans in closer to the microphone. “And hope. He uhm… represents what our nation strives to be. Integrity. Service.” The words are dry—rehearsed. Someone else’s.

    The writing is Val’s, printed out on clean paper like she had months to prepare for this moment.

    “Sleflessness.”

    His throat tightens.

    “You know what he’s done. What he’s sacrificed. The world… owes him… everything.”

    He swallows. The next words scraped out are jagged.

    “And to me… well, I—”

     

    Or: Forced into the Watchtower with the New Avengers by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, surrounded by a new and unexpected family who knows him better than he’d like, and haunted by the one person he can’t face, Bucky does what he’s always done best—he tries to stay in control.

    Until Sam Wilson appears on the news.

    And Bucky Barnes is ordered to stand in front of the man he can’t face and hand the Captain an award.

    Summary

    Bob seemed thoughtful. “He seems like a hell of a guy. Worth of his title.”

    Bucky nodded, thinking that there weren’t enough words to describe what Sam really was. When he looked a the window, the sky was making its early show, the colors changing to welcome the sun.

    “Have you ever thanked him?” Bob said, after a moment of silence.

    Bucky stared at him in confusion. “For what?”

    “I don’t know, it just seems like he saved you. Like you guys saved me. Yelena doesn’t use that word, she says it’s too super-heroy. But I know you guys did. So it’s worth a thank you.”
