    Summary

    The Soldier stutters forward, placing its metal hand upon the bedsheets. "Permission to speak," it croaks.

     

    "Granted." The handler holds its gaze.

     

    "What...what is my mission?"

     

    The handler considers for a moment, then: "Effective immediately, your mission is to obtain optimal levels of hydration, caloric intake, and sleep for at least seven continuous days. Understood?"

     

    The Soldier nods. This is a test of its self-sufficiency. Its new owners want to know what it functions like at peak performance. Furthermore, the Soldier suspects that its owners want it to acclimate to these luxuries.

     

    So they can take them all away again.
    ***
    After the fall of SHIELD, the Avengers bring a shivering, starving Winter Soldier to the Tower. This is the story of the recovery of Bucky Barnes.

    Summary

    After a devastating mission gone wrong, Navy SEAL James "Bucky" Barnes returns to civilian life a broken man. His elite team-his brothers-were lost in a fiery explosion that also claimed his left arm. Now, tucked away in the snow-covered mountain town of Pineford, James spends his days trying to find purpose and avoiding the memories that haunt him.

    Natalia Romanova was born to dance-but not to belong. Raised by the strict owner of a prestigious ballet academy who adopted her for her talent, Natalia's entire life has been pirouettes, pressure, and perfection. When she fails to land a coveted spot in a major ballet company, she's punished with a last-minute assignment: perform as Clara in The Nutcracker... in the middle of nowhere.

    Thrown together in a town that feels frozen in time, James and Natalia couldn't be more different. He's grounded by loss. She's desperate to fly. But as falling snow blankets the quiet streets of Pineford, a hesitant friendship begins to warm into something deeper-something that could melt even the coldest fears.

    Together, they might just find that healing isn't about forgetting the past, but learning to dance with it.

    Summary

    John MacTavish hasn't seen Simon Riley since the day Simon rushed him to a London trauma center... and then walked away. The absence made John's road to recovery all the more agonizing, but luckily, the rest of the 141 along with other friends and family filled the hole left by a ghost.

    Now, three and a half years later, John finally has his life together. He works for the MOD (and the CIA... ahem) as a civilian demolitions consultant. He's got a house, a (mostly) clear head, and most importantly, a date with someone new to his best mate's wedding.

    John's ecstatic to be standing up as Kyle's best man. Unfortunately, it also means standing in the same room as a certain Lieutenant. It's okay, though. For Kyle's sake, John can keep all the anger and hurt festering inside of him in check. All he has to do is avoid Simon for the next few hours, and they'll go their separate ways.

    Too bad Simon has other plans that, unbeknownst to either of them, will change their lives forever.

    For better or for worse.

    Summary

    There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.

    Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.

    Summary

    Jason Todd was having a terrible day.

    First, he got arrested by the Justice League.

    Second, it was Hal, Oliver, and Barry who arrested him. Not someone cool, like Wonder Woman.

    Third, by some terrible turn of events, his siblings decided that breaking him out of the watchtower while Bruce was off-world was the right thing to do.

    Now they were all arrested and sitting around waiting for Dad to come back.

    Summary

    He presses his back to the door and slides to the ground, ear to the sliver of night outside, eyes locked on the blinking countdown as it drops below a minute.
    ---
    Because it’s all the same again. Nothing ever changes, time is a circle, all that bullshit, and Jason’s life is one big clusterfuck merry-go-round that never stops spinning.

    _________

    Somehow, Jason's ended up back in a warehouse with a timer counting down. He’s struggling to figure out how he fits back into life at the Manor (as messy as that is), and now it's all about to go up in smoke.
    Maybe someone will be there to save him this time.

    Summary

    “So… what’s your problem with him?” Dick asks.

    “I think I’m in love with him.”

    “And why is this a problem?” Babs asks.

    Roy says, “He’s straight,” at the same time as Dick says “He’s getting felt up by a socialite.”

    Roy turns around faster than he’s ever turned around in his life. And yep. Dick was right. A thin ginger woman is leaning very close to him at the tall table he’s at, a hand pressed into his chest, rubbing up and down. And… Jason is smiling. One of his real smiles, not that stupid fake one he uses. This… this isn’t good. This isn’t okay. This isn’t right.

    Roy is going to throw up.

    or... 5 times roy gets jealous and 1 time he actually does something about it

    Summary

    Steve moves to stand from the table, running his hand across Bucky’s back and murmuring something about getting coffee.

    Bucky’s sleep-addled brain takes a minute to catch up, but he calls to Steve over the hum of conversation, “Can you grab me a cup, too, doll?”

    “Excuse me?”

    Summary

    “Isn’t that weird?” Sam starts, raising an eyebrow at Bucky’s parallel self.

    “Sam-“ Bucky tries to interject, looking increasingly distressed – but it’s no use.

    “I mean, you third wheeling Steve and his wife out here in the middle of nowhere?” Sam finishes, and Bucky can only cover his face with his metal hand and wish the ground would swallow him whole, knowing what is coming as surely as he has ever known anything.

    “Pal,” the Other Bucky replies with a smirk, holding up his flesh hand to show off a thin silver band while the real Bucky stares resolutely at the ground, “I am his wife.”

    Or

    Of all the parallel universes they could have ended up in, Bucky can't think of a worse one than this - one that serves as a constant reminder of everything he's ever wanted, and everything he can't ever have.

    Summary

    The Soldier knew protocol. A failed mission meant punishment, then the Chair, then cryo. He had to go collect punishment, to ensure proper function on the next mission. It would be a risk, going back to the Vault. Insight had been compromised, communication was down. The Soldier did not know if the Vault was safe. The head hurt. He had been out of cryo too long. The words of the Captain on the helicarrier had damaged the neurological function. He would need the Chair to return to working condition. The Chair was in the Vault.

    Summary

    “What do you think of Josten.”

    Kevin looks at him with just a hint of confusion. “He’s got a surplus of potential. He could be Court one day if he improves.”

    Of course his first thought is Exy.

    “Idiot. What do you think of Josten?” He raises one eyebrow for emphasis. Andrew knows that Kevin was staring at Josten’s ass on the court more than strategically necessary. He just has to lead the tall man to the point.

    Kevin’s face flushes, his pupils starting to swallow up the green of his irises.

    “Oh. Oh.

    Oh,” Andrew mocks, unable to help himself. He’s also unable to not be blunt when it counts. “Do you want to fuck him?”

    or

    Neil is a Trojan, Kevin and Andrew are (not) dating, and the three of them decide to spend some quality time together after a game.

    Summary

    Testing the boundaries of his own constraint, Jeremy slid his palm further up the length of Jean's back, lost in the way Jean reacted with another gentle exhale of breath. Jeremy couldn't hold himself back as he felt the warm puff of air directly over his mouth, Jean's plush and enticing lips almost brushing his own.

    Jeremy's eyes closed again as he tilted his head back slightly, murmuring just shy of against Jean's lips. "Jean, can I...?"

    “Um, okay,” Nicky says. Stops. Thinks. Looks at Aaron with too much urgency, like he has to entertain him fast or he’ll disappear into thin air. “Uh—Andrew! Yes. Andrew and I are having a fight right now.”

    Andrew shakes his head at Aaron. “Completely one-sided.”

    “He thinks his gaydar is better than mine. Can you believe that?”

    “Never said that.” But it’s probably true.

    Summary

    “Are you high right now?!” Andrew hissed angrily, leaning in to get a closer look at Neil’s now clearly dilated pupils.

    A wry grin tugged on Neil’s mouth, meeting Andrew’s gaze without flinching. He finally raised his glass in salute, “As a fucking kite.”

    -
    It has been years since Neil disappeared in the night, only to reappear the following semester on the starting line-up for the Ravens, the name Wesninski painted across his back.

    A chance encounter at a Gala leads Andrew to believe there might be more to the story of Neil's defection than what they'd been led to believe.
