Summary
She should have never stopped to help the smiling, devil may care Poe Dameron in the alley that night. It all started then, and now she's sharing a fridge with a vampire with a perchance for O negative, a house with the lingering spirit of a young man who couldn't move on and has the local werewolf packs sniffing around, trying to recruit her.
Honestly, maybe going back to Jakku wasn't such a bad idea.

Summary
A shadow falls over the area he is occupying and he chastises himself for his inattentiveness. Keeping his body relaxed, no use in showing how off guard he had been taken if this was a threat, Barnes (he is comfortable with that name, it was a major victory that he’d settled on any name) looks up at the person standing before him.
Compact, too many layers to perceive muscle mass, a weak stance just slightly off balance with a cocked hip—all of it screamed civilian. In her left hand there was a tray containing two styrofoam cups and a bag was hanging from her wrist, it was nondescript but it smelled of food, on the right hand she held a scrap of small scrap of paper.
“Mic dejun.”
Heavily accented the words fell awkwardly from her lips and blue eyes only looked up from the paper to make sure he is paying attention before she continued.

Some love stories start traditional, boy meets girl--girl meets boy, love ensues.
But some stories, some stories don't follow rhyme or reason.

Summary
With his back pressed against the edge of the bed he works on taking apart a Glock 17, he can assemble and disassemble one in under five seconds but takes his time now. Gun oil soaks the rag at his side, he's meticulous about the care of his weapons (he's not meant to have them but the tower is full of niches to hide weapons, he takes advantage).
The room smelled of her scented candles and perfume when he'd soundlessly opened the door, she'd assigned him residence status to her rooms in the event of emergencies, and creeped into the room with the Glock and cleaning kit.
Now her room had an underlain scent of gun oil.
His hands don't stop the task, don't stumble over reattaching the barrel, until the gun is clean and shinning even in the dim moonlight. Once he is more centered, has allowed the monotony of gun care to soothe his worry, he rises to loom over the sleeping form of the young woman whose so unaware of the dangerous presence in her room.

Summary
“That's only because you compare him to the men we know. We live with super buff dudes with model good looks—you're being kind of unfair to the rest of the male population.” Darcy interjects wisely, “I mean who has a better set of guns then Rogers?”
Gotcha.
A look of immense pride comes over Natasha's face, well she had been taking lessons from the best on the art of integration and misdirection.
In a move too graceful not to be measured Maria turns to Darcy, crossing her legs so she faced the younger woman. “I hardly think Barnes would appreciate hearing that.” It's strange to be openly speaking about her thing (ugh it was still a thing, she really needed to pin him down for a talk about this) with the ex-commando and sometimes Winter Soldier.
“Bucky has the best legs, like—have you seen those thighs?!”

Summary
“You have to be more careful.”
“S'just a cut--” popping the thumb out of her mouth she lets the Widow take a stinging swipe with the wipe and but a bandaid on her (they are Avenger's theme, this one had tiny Cap shields on it)
Giving her a look she goes to the rubbish bin to throw out the wrappings, turning back she steals a strawberry from the carton, chewing on it thoughtfully as if choosing her words.
“Lingchi is the art of the slow death, a Chinese practice which wasn't outlawed until 1905—roughly it translates to Death by One Thousand Cuts. Don't underestimate a small cut just because the other's haven't come yet.”
“Is this some kind of warning or a pep talk cause honestly I'm a little confused. Could be the blood loss.”

Would You Like Some Coffee With That Sugar? by CoffeeAndConjunctions
Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
29 May 2016
Tags
Summary
“Just finishing my coffee—then I got distracted by science. Steve's got the most interesting theory on running.” innocent as you please she lifts the cup from the counter between her and Barnes to her mouth and sips the sugary liquid.
In classic Hill fashions she turns those laser focus eyes on Steve with a raised brow and her arms crossed. Sam to his credit looks as pleased as she feels—she feels Bucky shift closer and bump her knee with his hip.
“Is that so, Captain?”
Steve manages to choke out “Stamina.” suddenly very interested in his cup.
“Oh?”
Why did she not have a camera? She needed a camera, no wait—J.A.R.V.I.S all was not lost because Natasha needed to see this moment. Rhodey looked like he was ready to bail out Steve but Sam gives him a subtle kick to the shin when he open his mouth.
She'd have to talk to Nat about including Sam in the Yenta Club.
“Well then maybe one of these days we can test your stamina--” (she could kiss Hill right now) “Even Super Soldiers must have limits, it's good to know your limitations during a mission.”

White Castle, Heaven Between Buns by CoffeeAndConjunctions

Summary
The Soldier's sharp gaze scans over her face, she can't think of this look as Bucky's (and hates herself a little for needing the distinction) hand metal hand under her chin tilting her face up, flesh hand pulling at the collar of her shirt where a bruise is peeking out, his thumb brushes against the cut on her lip and she recoils at little at the sharp sting.
She expects his voice to be wrecked with anger from his expression but instead it's cool, pitched lower then she's used to hearing thought that could be because the words aren't in English. Over her shoulder he level a look of pure contempt at Natasha who replies to his words in her mother tongue. This close she can hear the whirl of his left arm, he's getting ready to pull back and the stiff posture he's got going on is pure trouble.

Summary
Deep even breaths sound in the line and it takes her a moment to realize it's her—heavy eyes try to blink away the sleep but she is finding it hard to focus, between the moonshine and Barnes' soothing tenor she's half way asleep.
“Didn't know you liked poetry, Sarge.”
“Frost had his moments, I'm a Whitman fan myself but Becca loves—loved, Frost.” he stumbles over the tense and it's heartbreaking to hear the jerk in his breath when he recalls his sister is no longer alive. “Want me to keep going?”
“I'll fall asleep on you soon if you keep going.”
“That's the plan, Ma'am.”

Summary
So second drink of the night in one hand (rum and coke emphasis on the rum, it really was a shit week) and a fistful of Twizzlers in the other is how she finds herself nearly a half hour into John Wick—she's seen it before but it was just so damned good, when Keanu Reeves' character rolls over the counter and double taps a mercenary she lets out a triumphant sound and fist pumps.
“Gotta love a man who appreciates the double tap.”
“It's effective if you can't rely on good aim.”
Whipping her head toward the sound she finds Bucky, arms crossed over his chest (one corner of his mouth quirking up in amusement) looking at her with his head cocked. A Twizzler laden hand comes up to her heart, she can practically hear it pound in her ears.
“Christ on a fucking cracker, Barnes."

Summary
They don't go out like she might with Hill or even Natasha and Clint who are good at blending in because he is Captain Fucking America and everyone knows his face, instead he catches her coming out of her office and corners (and she says corners because she's been avoiding him, she recognizes that look) her in the elevator with a latte and a too bright smile.
“So you and Bucky--"
“Oh God, Steve. No, I am not about to get the shovel talk from Captain America.”
“Shovel talk?”
“You know, the what are your intensions toward my 'place name of loved one here' talk?”
“Oh, I see.”
A moment of silence passes.
“But what are—”
“Damn it Steve."

Shaken Not Stirred by CoffeeAndConjunctions

Summary
Glancing down at her phone while she waits for the elevator, noting she was already fifteen minutes late and that the driver had an ETA of five, she doesn't look up from the screen right away when the doors open. A throat clearing has her glancing up at the occupied elevator.
“Going down?”
The Captain and the Soldier are in full tac gear inside, a little dirty (Steve's blonde hair in disarray) but with no obvious signs of injury. Now, she'd seen pictures of the Winter Soldier in full regalia but she's finding it hard to reconcile the man whose quiet presence she found so comforting to the one before her now. Strapped into leather, smelling of gun powder and smoke, he is another being all except for his eyes (slow blinking and the brightest blue) those eyes she recognized.

Summary
Barnes supports most of her weight as they make their way to the couch (she might be exaggerating the sleepiness a little but she can't help it when he's all solid muscle and sends out heat like a furnace) the afghan drags on the floor like a cape behind her. The couch is long and deep, she curls up easily into the cushions, cocooned in the afghan.
Seeing her settled in he makes to leave but she catches his finger loosely in her own (he stiffens but doesn't try and rip her fingers off which is improvement.)

Summary
“So not a boob thing?”
A chocking sound comes from her left, Steve looks like he's swallowed his tongue (she doesn't look at Natasha because reasons) and Barnes clutches the bowl to his chest like a surprised grandmother being mugged, shaking his head left to right.
“No, Ma'am.”
“Right, duh. Okay, yeah.” If Thor was a merciful God he would strike her down with lighting now (briefly she considers asking Heimdal to open the Bifrost in a desperate escape.) And because at this point she's no filter mode she cocks back her arm and punches his shoulder and lets out a laugh that would make a hyena pack proud.
“Well then, thanks Buckaroo!”
Buckaroo—fucking kill her now.

Summary
With the remainder of the pancakes flipped and plated she brings the last serving to the table and finds two seats empty, one between Steve and Pepper which Hil—Maria--takes with a smile at Pepper and an under the lashes look at Rogers who honest to God looks like he's about to blush, and the other between Natasha and Barnes.
Breakfast with the Russian mob it was.
Golden light is now filtering in and damn if it this wasn't a Kodak moment with all these ridiculously attractive people (even Barnes had a hobo-chic thing going on) all gathered over food.

Summary
At his core he is neither man nor beast.
Not anymore, he was a mangled perversion of both--the touch of his aura alone was making her stomach queasy, the last time she'd left an aura this tainted was the accidental brush of fingers with Banner. Yet even Banner had the thin wall of civility keeping his monster at bay.
Barnes was pure instinct, pure wolf.
She moves her fingers from his temple letting them trail down the sharp contours of his cheeks before turning back to Steve.
"His connection to the Pulse is just strong enough to keep him strong but they left almost nothing behind Steve, I'm not sure I can get that connection back--" her teeth sink indelicately into the pump flesh of her bottom lip before sighing "But I can try."
