    Summary

    Steve Rogers never quite left the ice when they dragged him out of the arctic. He's good at going through the motions, good at fighting when they need him to fight, but he was supposed to die in 1944, just like Bucky had two weeks earlier. Now, as he moved through this barely recognizable world, he wondered if he had and all that was left was a ghost, haunting a life that didn't belong to him.
    *
    Bucky Barnes hadn't told anyone about the second-rate serum Zola had injected under his skin while Bucky had been strapped to that table. He hadn't told anyone about all the changes he'd noticed, how he felt stronger, faster, needed less sleep. He hadn't told anyone and yet somehow, that secret had carried him through seventy years of snow and isolation back to his best friend, who wasn't quite the same person he'd known on that train.

    Summary

    The observation takes less than a second, but Rollins is a trained fighter. He immediately seizes the opportunity and starts thrashing to free himself, spitting nearly incoherent defenses that Steve has heard before. The litany is as familiar as breathing and triggers a nauseating flare of familiar disgust.

    They like it. They need it. They don’t mean it when they say ‘no’. It’s just a little fun.

    Doms haven’t changed in over a century.

    Summary

    "Whether the world was burning or freezing or made of nothing but misery and pain, I remembered your eyes, that won’t ever change, sweetheart."

    Steve struggles to adjust, living an isolated life to protect what little reason he has to live. Everyone seems to forget that this change, this new body, the fresh horrors he sees at night, aren't seventy years old for him.
    For Steve, just last year he was a scrawny little Beta with only one friend in the world. For Steve, last week he stormed a concentration camp and saw horrors beyond compare. For Steve, yesterday he had an Alpha and a pack forged in blood and battle.
    Now he's got a shield and a new form and secret heats. Now he's got fear and isolation and PTSD, now he's got a body he doesn't know what to do with and a mind he can't control.
    It should come as a surprise to no one that the moment Bucky is revealed to him, he's ready to follow him till the ends of the earth. Where Bucky goes, Steve will always follow, and in return, Bucky will always piece him back together.
    And, God, Steve has just been living his life in pieces, scraps of humanity and normality just barely masking his never ending fear and loneliness.

    Summary

    It's the twenty-first century, and Steve Rogers has never been more alone. Everything he knew, everyone he loved, is now gone, and a dark, bitter loneliness claws at him, raking bleeding gashes into his heart.
    And then there's Brock Rumlow.
    Rumlow is like salt in his wounds; vicious, and cruel. But his dark brown hair and teasing smirk reminds Steve of someone long dead, and his New York accent sounds like home...He's a soldier like him...he understands. And Steve makes the fatal mistake of trusting him.
