    Summary

    They’ve decided to start producing Bucky Bears again, now that he’s all shiny and redeemed and fighting for good on this big Avengers misfits team. "He has a little shiny gray arm," Bucky says, wiggling the stuffed arm in question, one of the tweaks made in the new model. It takes Steve a second to realize that Bucky’s got a small smile on his face, actually looks a little bit proud around the eyes.

    Or, Bucky relearns himself and how to be on a team, the rest of the Avengers try to get answers, and everyone watches too much Criminal Minds.

    Summary

    “Buck,” he said gently, taking a step forward.

    Bucky looked up and met his gaze with glossy eyes. “It’s different.”

    “What is?”

    He looked back down at the papers in front of him. “Seeing it in print.”

    Steve swallowed, unsure of a response.

    “Have you read this?”

    He shook his head. “No, Buck. And I won’t if you don’t want me to.”

    Bucky didn’t answer for several minutes. Eventually he gathered the papers and slid them back into the folder. He stood from the table, pressing the file into Steve’s chest. “You should,” he said, his voice grave. “You should know what I’m capable of, what I’ve done.”

     

    OR

    Bucky waits for Steve to come home from the hospital following the events on the helicarriers, though he doesn't fully understand why. They embark on a cross country journey before being snapped back into reality. Story of healing, promises, guilt, shame, avoidance, forgiveness, family, and love.

    Summary

    - "On three, we scream." Natasha's smile glints dangerously in the moonlight. It's reflected in Steve's eyes. They count down together and then yell into the dark. They yell until they can't anymore, and then they sit down and listen to the highway while the trees watch over them. Blond hair and red hair. Sunshine and blood. -

    Steve and Natasha become friends almost accidentally. It’s a frightening thing, to look at another person and see your own anger staring back at you. To love them for it anyway. To love them for it because of it.

    Summary

    Steve woke up staring into the eyes of the Winter Soldier. "Ah, Fuck," He said, and the Winter Soldier laughed at him.

    So Steve stayed. Big deal. Whatever. So the Winter Soldier let him stay. Big deal. Whatever.

    James Barnes knocked Steve out and returned him to Nick Fury's doorstep with an honest to god note pinned to his uniform: You lost this.

    Bucky meant it, too. You lost this man. You did not take care of this man like you should have, and shame on you, because I would have loved him for free.
