    Summary

    Steve's rarely been touched in a way that didn't equate to some kind of hurt. The cold metal of a stethoscope against his frail chest or the sting of a needle drawing yet another blood sample, when he was a sickly child. The bone-shattering punches thrown by the neighborhood bullies on the playground, or by his own father at home, drunk and wild. His mother, weak and clutching at him as she grew more incoherent with the drugs as the cancer ate away at her insides. Touch was something he shied away from, something he told himself he just didn't want.

    Except...he did. He just didn't know how.

    Until he finds a flyer for a local "affection and intimacy services" program.

    In which Steve learns how to become comfortable with touch, and there is one very good dog, and a slow-burn romance.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Steve as Winter Soldier-denying any memory, but Bucky Cap breaks programming. Hilariously foul-mouthed Buck!Cap is entirely done with everyone. Amazing relationships-Clint ends up with Pietro (omg disaster bros).

    Summary

    “I just had the best idea I have ever had in my life,” Bucky said, punching straight through a doombot with his metal hand and clutching the napkin with Steve’s phone number in the other. The formerly (somewhat) dark and peaceful corner of Central Park was now lit up with energy beams, flashing robotic lights, and panicked astronomy buffs running for cover. Oh well, it wasn't like they'd been going to see many stars what with all the Christmas shit everywhere.

    “The bar you are setting for that is not high,” Natasha told him over the coms.

    Jess and smiled Steve are Roomies and it’s bad at dating Stucky at first fist thrown. Highly entertaining crack. Feral animal lantern statues.

    Summary

    Twice a day, every day, Steve lights the lantern at the top of the lighthouse.

    One day, every year, a door opens and Bucky steps through.

    *

    This is the story of how Steve and Bucky reclaim all of the years they've lost and what Valhalla means to someone who's willing to wait for it.

    Summary

    Before he was Captain America, he was Steve Rogers, knobby kneed and wild-eyed, with scrapes on his knuckles and a book in his hands.

    In 1942, he leaves for war and eventually crashes the Valkyrie.

    That's only the beginning of his story.

    In 2011, Steve's body is dragged from ice off the coast of Greenland.

    In 2015, he meets a bookstore clerk.

    This is what happens when a superhero loses his way home and the only way back is through the Yellow Book Road.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Bookstore love story across time, as much Stucky as it is two men saved by the sacred space that is a century-old new and used bookstore, started by a lover of books driven to share them.
