    Summary

    All Faye really wanted was to sit on the beach, knit socks, and eat ice cream for the next couple decades. It was all going really well until the two twits next door moved in. Could someone please tear out the page of the OED that defines 'subtle' and staple it to Grant's head?

    “Steve says you're a friend of his.” Tony observed.

    “He's delusional. He dented my house with his damn shield. I hate him. He's an asshole. I'm only here because humans make a horrible mess when they bleed. If his alleged dogs don't stop bothering my cat, I'm going to let the cat EAT THEM.”

    Summary

    As the minutes tick by, Steve remains wide awake despite counting sheep and guns and the strands of Bucky’s hair made visible by the faint light filtering in through the window. Bucky’s new place is in Manhattan, a high-rise too close to the tower to be anything but a taunt to Tony. Steve likes the place; it doesn’t have the memories the old one did.

    Natasha had to talk him out of buying that apartment when Bucky left. Steve’s always had a bad habit of chasing ghosts.

    His most recent one is right under his nose. Literally.

    Bucky’s bonding mark is now a fresh scar. If Steve were wholly human, he wouldn’t even see it. With the serum, the scant light is more than enough for the details to stand out. It’s a ragged thing—human teeth aren’t made for grace, but the bonding mark had a smooth, polished look to it. The scar tissue that has taken its place is anything but—a thick, raised line of red, lumpy flesh. If Steve set his teeth to it, it wouldn’t match, not anymore.

    Steve bears his own matching scar.

    Carving out a future from the ashes of the past is complicated enough without Hydra in the equation, but Steve and Bucky have never had it easy

    Summary

    “Remind me again why I’m doing this.”

    “Because the defrosted pillar of truth, justice, and the American way woke up and went into rut,” Clint recites dully, incredulity at this turn of events having faded into resignation out of sheer self-preservation. “It’s his first rut in, what, seventy years? And suppressants aren’t working. It might kill him.”

    Bucky grimaces. He doesn’t know what it says about his life that it has landed him ass-up, face-down in these circumstances.

    He’s pretty sure he’s imagining the warmth spreading through his veins. Heat inducers need time to work. But between this and the suppressant-neutralizers, he doesn’t even want to think of what his chemical makeup looks like right now.

    Will Rogers be able to smell it on him? Would it even matter? Captain America or not, the guy’s an alpha in a long-delayed rut. All he’ll care about is having a tight hole around his knot, and Bucky’s got that dubious honor.
