    Summary

    “I won’t laugh.” Bucky straightens out both his back and his expression and scoots closer, knee colliding with Sam’s own. He keeps it there; it feels hot and solid, even through the kevlar. “C’mon, I promise. Just tell me.”

    Sam turns it over in his head for a long moment. Swallows hard. Rubs his palms across his thighs.

    “Okay,” he says, looking away. “Do you believe in ghosts, man?”

    Bucky laughs, the asshole.

    Sam has been haunted all his life. This is the first time he's ever thought of telling anyone about it.

    Summary

    [..] there’s a.. there’s a child, sitting on the ground in the crater, the military-pattern shirt on his body, large enough that it goes down to his knees. He’s clean, barely harmed, with the pillars having made a sort of tent that protected him from any more debris. The black, short hair, the brown eyes that stare terrifyingly at the floor, his hands over his ears as he shakes in the oversized shirt, he couldn’t be more than seven years oldー

    But that shirt. Joaquín, he’d put it on that morning in the office after spilling his goddamn coffee on his white one, that was his shirt.

    “…Joaquín?” Sam’s voice came out as a whisper, near hoarse, his eyebrows shot up, mouth parted as his gaze was unwavering on the child.

    The kid looks up, eyes widening, and promptly bursts into tears.

    Joaquín is forced back to the age of eight, which brings forth the past and its demons that should’ve stayed buried. Sam tries to wrangle them as best he can, all while protecting his boy.

    Summary

    Sam wasn't sure if he was ready to get back to his life, to work, to send Joaquín to preschool. But then, he met Joaquín's preschool teacher, Bucky.

    EXCERPT:

    “Nervous about the first day?”

    Sam turned to see a man with hair shoulder length hair pulled back in a half-ponytail, a little scruff, an apron on that Sam was pretty sure he’d seen on other teachers around when he and Joaquín first toured the preschool connected to the local elementary school. The man had understanding eyes, a warm smile, and a shirt that was pinned where he was missing an arm. The man gazed at Sam for a moment, as if he too were a little mesmerized by the man before him.

    Joaquín clung tighter to Sam’s leg, Sam looking down at pleading eyes telling Sam, “Let’s just stay home together forever”. Having this person who worked at the school near him solidified Sam’s resolve, though. This was why Sam came early. To give Joaquín time to settle in and get acquainted with his teacher with fewer people around.

    “I don’t know why I asked that. Of course you are,” said the man, “I know I was like that when I first dropped Yelena at her own preschool class.”

    Summary

    Sam pauses, arm frozen above his head and eyes catching an all too familiar pendant that had fallen from the soldier’s shirt.

    The last time he had seen that pendant was six months ago. It had been covered in blood and clutched in the hands of a dying child.

    A silver hamsa hand.
