    Summary

    Bucky Barnes is living the dream--his own restaurant on 'The Other Fifth Avenue' back home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with a staff of his dearest friends, a garden to grow, and the chance to be close to his sisters after ten long years as a journeyman chef. All he has to do is keep his head down and do the work so that they survive their first litmus year in business. They've got the buzz. They've got the menu. And now, they've got the patronage of the original hometown hero returned, the guy who put Brooklyn on the map, the legend himself: The Cap. Only Bucky gets a lot more than he bargained for when he cooks for his childhood crush. He might even lose his heart.

    Or, the Stucky version of The Bear with a lot less yelling and a lot more fluff.

    Summary

    “Hey Steve, this is Jack Murphy, our other neighbor. Jack, this is Steve.” Steve looked at Sam a little wildly, expecting to see—he didn’t even know, but some reaction other than Sam’s usual easy friendliness. And there was something there, but it was just the twitch of Sam’s mouth that said he found something hilarious and he was trying not to show it. Was this Sam’s idea of a joke, or a prank? Because this guy—behind the glasses and mustache, Steve could have sworn—well, he looked like Bucky.

    “This is your home?” asks Bucky at one point.

    “It’s where I’m living now, yeah.”

    Bucky comes home. Steve's a little slower on the uptake.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes jumps at the chance to take a job opportunity hours from home. He's expecting a fresh start and a decent salary jump. He's not expecting to run into his childhood best friend, Steve Rogers, on his first day. The years since they last talked have been hard ones for both of them, but falling back into their friendship is shockingly easy. Despite their time apart, December in this small town might bring them closer than ever.

    (Or, a holiday romcom in which Bucky reads to children, Steve teaches art, new friendships are made, difficult conversations are had, cookies are baked, way too much coffee is consumed, home is found in surprising places and, eventually, feelings are confessed.)
