    Summary

    “Bucky?” Steve calls softly, and Bucky halts, going preternaturally still.

    Steve finds himself thrown back to that day on the bridge, staring at the assailant who’d worn his best friend’s face, a flame of hope fluttering in his chest.

    It’s with similar feeling that he watches Bucky slowly raise his eyes to meet Steve’s, and a similar agony pierces through him as Bucky stares at Steve with the same blank eyes of the Soldier.

    “Steve,” Bucky says, after a too-long pause, brow ever-so-slightly furrowed.

    His gaze goes to Sam as if he’s seeking reassurance. As if he needs confirmation that what he’s seeing is real. Only after Sam has offered a subtle nod does he look back at Steve, face pale as milk, and very empty.

    “How— Why are you… here?”

     

    Or,

    Steve's epic stupidity and bad decision-making have unintended consequences.

    Summary

    Wiltshire, England, 1837. James Barnes, heir to the Baron of Dauntsey, leads a privileged life with his sister Rebecca and his best friend Clint Barton, when a tragic event shatters the gilded existence he has led until now.

    Victorian shenanigans, arranged marriages, social constraints and forbidden love, this story will not shy away from any trope.

    Summary

    “What is all this?”

    “Keys to Steve’s place in Brooklyn, and his motorcycle. Some records about his, ah, accounts and things. He—well, he hasn’t been declared officially dead, we can’t, you know, say anything about the time travel, but—”

    “He’s not coming back,” says Bucky, before Banner has to try to couch it softly, or spare Bucky’s assumed feelings. It’s a courtesy Bucky doesn’t need. His feelings have seemed very far away since Steve left. “I know.”

    "Yeah, so, uh, I just figured you should have all this."

    Bucky is doing fine after the Blip. He has his amends, he has his exit strategies, he goes to therapy. Steve's gone, but that's fine, Bucky can deal with that, even if he can't deal with feeling like a ghost in the apartment that Steve left behind. But when Steve returns, they'll both have to deal with how to rebuild a friendship and a home that are haunted by the ghosts of who they used to be. Their methods of doing so are perhaps less than ideal, what with how they involve more sex and stealthy surprise interior decoration than any actual communication. Maybe that's all they need to make a new home together.
