    Summary

    “It’s already been paid for,” the barista told him and then pointed toward the man that had been in front of Bucky. Even shadowed under the cap and hidden behind thick-rimmed hipster glasses, it was far too easy to recognize that face.

     

    Steve Rogers.

     

    That was most definitely Steve Rogers -- aka, Captain fuckin’ America -- in semi-disguise, loitering as he waited for his drink.

    Steve Rogers paid for his drink. Steve Rogers heard what he said. Christ, that was embarrassing.

    --

    Or: the one where Bucky Barnes meets Steve Rogers in Starbucks.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Fits canon well, & humanises Leah, pointing out info from the newer A&O book, Wild Signs, that explains why Leah always hated Bran’s kids, especially Charles. He wasn’t just evidence of how Bran loved Blue Jay Woman & didn’t love her, but he was around the age of one of her own children (Zander) had been when she escaped & left him for dead & buried her baby. Combine that with the deaths of her young siblings. No wonder she was so jealous & bitter about suddenly acquiring a young “son” & couldn’t open her heart to him.

    She had been trying hard to forget, not a difficult task given the blurring of memory which the Singer’s defeat had left her with; but sight of the boy scratched what had been dull misery into a gaping would.

    Her “mates but not in love” situation with Bran, especially after her dubcon Change & Mating as per Wild Signs:
    She ran when the moon called her; and her wolf coupled with Bran’s wolf. She understood coupling; it was what the Singer had taught her. This wolf-man looked different but underneath he was the same.

    Nice (🤔) things this story introduces: (SPOILERS)
    * after Charles has grown & gone, white settlers get as far as them there in Aspen Creek. Bran immediately leaves to officially register their land, so doesn’t even realise the white folk brough disease which immediately wipes out what is left of Blue Jay Woman’s tribe, leaving just Leah alive. So she takes on responsibility of what to do about that & goes to the white blokes & kills them (with the “excuse” of their attempted assault).
    * how this town founded by a pre-Christian man, has a chapel & all wear crosses. How Leah peacefully solved the problem of the travelling preacher.
    * when Samuel brings to Aspen Creek a human widow of a wolf with 1 1/2 kids:
    “I just checked; she is asleep now.”
    The whole pack knew Samuel doted on children, knew his endless care and patience whenever one of the pack’s mates was pregnant (and of his sorrow when a woman miscarried or a child was stillborn).
    “I’ll be back to see her in the morning,” he said. “Let her sleep as long as she wants. You both need the rest.”
    Leah stiffened at his sympathy. He knew her - saw more her own mate. Leah was thankful Samuel did not live in Aspen Creek.

    * details of David Christiansen’s change, Leah taking responsibility to resolve that (peacefully & in a way that Bran probably wouldn’t have) while Bran was away, and to check up on Adam as a result.
    Good soldiers often make very good werewolves. They are disciplined and used to working within a strictly defined hierarchy (not to mention naturally athletic and good in fights). However, werewolves usually make poor soldiers. They take orders badly from humans and turning furry once a month is not recommended when it is the night of the ‘big push’ (or when defending against enemy attack).

     

    Leah might be a cold bitch, but it’s not all without reason, & she doesn’t shirk her responsibility (while protecting her own boundaries even though Bran doesn’t give a shit) and she brings something to the leadership of the pack that Bran lacks. He’s very lucky he has her & he doesn’t realise or appreciate how much.
    Bran would be home soon; and as always when he returned he would be demanding, both in bed and out. No matter that he trusted her as his second in command, she would have to give a detailed accounting of her management in his absence. He never let her forget this was his pack, his domain. But it was hers too.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I don’t think the “Mercy being raised in another pack until she was a naughty little girl” is canon (I was under the impression that Margi had given her directly to Bran at around 3 months old, but not sure where I got that so I could be wrong) but the rest fits canon really well, offers insight & depth, and phrases it well. Especially the bits surrounding the Porsche & the whole Samuel situation:

    PORCHE:

    Why he even had a Porsche:
    It was a ridiculous extravagance, but Samuel had encouraged my purchase of the vehicle as a symbol of status and power that would impress the human side of even my most cantankerous Alphas’ psyche. Driving that car at night, at speed, through Montana back roads with the top down was the only joy I’d found to rival that of the hunt.

    Why she wrecked it & why he reacted the way he did:
    Mercy had raised a teenager’s normal contrariness to an art form. Bryan had always coped with grace and humor. With him gone, I had become her guardian. But her response to my authority was … inconsistent. I was seized by a sudden curiosity when I caught Mercy eying the Porshe, and snarled, “Don’t touch my car,” at her with the full force of an Alpha’s command. Kailas, who had been passing by the back bumper, leapt away and prostrated himself on the ground with a whine.
    Mercy dropped to her knees. “Yes, Bran,” she murmured, and scuttled away. I comforted Kailas that he hadn’t done anything wrong, then shifted and settled behind some branches, down-wind of the car, to see what would happen.
    I didn’t have to wait for long.
    ...
    The road was slick beneath my paws and I was wondering if perhaps my little experiment had been ill-timed when I heard a terrible squeal of brakes.
    ...
    I’d always told her curiosity could kill a coyote as well as a cat, but I’d assumed it would be her own inquisitive nature that would put her at risk. Not my stupid impulse goading her into reckless action.
    ...
    The next day, Samuel urged me to forbid Mercy to drive until she turned 18. “It’s a fitting punishment,” he said. I could scent it on him, the same frantic need to protect her that I felt beating away in my own heart.
    “As if that would work,” I scoffed lightly. My poorly planned experiment had certainly proven that.
    “It would, Da,” Samuel insisted. “The accident, it scared her. Mercy keeps saying she needs to get back on the horse, but she’d be glad of the excuse not to.”
    “Bryan asked me to watch over her,” I told him. “He’d not thank us for raising his daughter to run from her fears.”
    I assigned Charles to teach Mercy to drive cars, to check that they were in good condition and repair them if they weren’t.

     

    THE SAMUEL SITUATION:

    After Bryan’s death:
    I don’t think Mercy would have returned, were it not for Samuel.
    ...
    More than once I found her sitting with Samuel by the lake, Mercy scrubbing away the tears that she would not show another living soul.

    The creepy pedo romance & Bran’s solution:
    As she matured, the love Mercy felt for Samuel grew to a warmer desire. That wasn’t unexpected, and Samuel had plenty of practice, over the years, at deflecting young females’ crushes.
    It was nearly too late when I realized that Samuel was encouraging her.
    ...
    I knew Samuel. Knew that he would care for Mercy, wrap her up, love her tenderly and protect her from the world. It was his nature. Mercy would submit to such treatment for just so long, and then she would fight with all the desperation of a trapped animal. Samuel was … fragile, in ways that no one else seemed to recognize. He was treading on rotten ice, all uncaring. I could hear it creak beneath his paws. Mercy’s rejection would be enough to send him crashing down into the dark.
    So, to save my son, I sent Mercy away. And to be certain she stayed, I told her that Samuel wasn’t interested in romancing her, but in breeding children on her. The look on Mercy’s face when she tasted the truth of my words remained with me long after she was gone.

    Summary

    It turned out that old maxim about home being where when you had to go there they had to take you in was true, even when applied to a place you'd never heard of and people you'd never met before you were summarily shipped there as an absolute last resort.
     
    Bran Cornick thinks Ben is worth saving. It takes Ben a while to get there himself.
