Summary
High school's a tough time, and it's even tougher when you're a scrawny misfit with anger issues and an uncertain home life. But if Steve Rogers can be brave enough to channel his troubles into something productive, there's a chance he can survive high school hell, and leave it a better place than he found it.
As if he didn't have enough on his plate, he's increasingly obsessing over the stupidly hot new star of the school football team. But, hey. What closeted teenage art student hasn't been in those shoes?

Summary
Another contribution to Aliset's Happy Steve Bingo card. The prompt square was 'Found Family'.
Laughing like this might be the thing that gets them through, Steve thinks. It’s like sitting around the warm stove in his tenement kitchen with Bucky and his ma, while they take turns to rile him up. It’s like sitting around a fire with Bucky, Dugan, Jones and the rest, trading one-liners that nobody back in the US would expect to hear from the mouth of Captain America. It’s the way their bond has solidified into something indestructible.

Summary
My friend Aliset kindly invited me to join in with her Happy Steve Bingo card. This is what I came up with for the prompt ‘Cooking’.
Back in New York, Bucky’s recovery is going well. Against all the odds Steve has the most important person in his life back. But how much of him has been lost along the way?
As they mooch around the farmer’s market and cook dinner together, Steve struggles to keep a handle on his own nostalgia, and walks the jagged line around Bucky’s fragile memories.

Summary
WAY BACK LAST YEAR, I saw an amazing piece of Stucky fanart which prompted this Evanstan pinefest to crawl out of my mind.
While filming Civil War, Sebastian overhears a conversation that prompts him to confront his feelings for his co-star. He's just not completely sure what those feelings mean.
THIS IS A REPOST. Somehow, thanks to an AO3 glitch, I managed to delete this whole story. I was absolutely distraught to lose all the kudos, bookmarks and precious comment thread discussions, as well as the pics and gifs and footnotes, and I'm not over it. I want to thank everyone who's ever been kind about this fic, your feedback meant the world to me and I remember who you all are!
ANYWAY here it is again, just in case anybody still wants to read it. Please forgive formatting errors etc., I haven't the heart to go through the whole thing and correct them all. I can't remember when I started this story but I finished posting in October 2017 <3
PS REPEAT KUDOS / COMMENTS ARE PASSIONATELY ADORED!

"I can't tell if it's some kind of brain damage or if you are just batcats head over heels for your apparently not so dead best friend turned super bad guy and this is how you are coping, but whatever it is..." Sam pauses and puts his hand on Steve's shoulder, taking a deep breath before going on, "Just make sure you don't lose your pretty over sized blonde head about it."
