Summary
“I don’t like this,” Steve mutters to him, as he shifts awkwardly on his feet in the lounge of Tony Stark’s absurdly large Malibu mansion.
Bucky sighs and resists the urge to roll his eyes. This isn’t the first time (and it certainly won’t be the last) that Steve has expressed that very sentiment, and while Bucky also recognises the futility and drawbacks to this particular job, it’s a job, it’s their job and it puts money in their bank account, which is something that Bucky won’t turn his back on.
“I just don’t understand why someone like Tony Stark needs a bodyguard,” Steve complains, quietly. “Some spoilt little rich boy, so full of himself that he thinks the whole world is out to get him?”
“Shut up, or you’re going to get us fired,” Bucky hisses.
Steve shakes his head. “All I’m saying is that I don’t want to have to spend the foreseeable future looking after some dolled-up, greedy prep school reject.”
Or, alternatively, five times that Tony Stark surprised Steve and Bucky, and one time they didn’t really care.

Summary
When Bucky was rescued from Hydra, Steve took him to Avenger's Tower and the two of them started right back up where they'd left off. Things were going well, until Natasha started gossiping.
Bucky couldn't believe he hadn't noticed before.

Summary
“These kids won’t tell you what happened.”
Emily pinches her brow. “Why?”
“Child sexual assault victims don’t speak up,” Spencer says, “Not nearly as often as an adult might. So many of these kids don’t have a concept of what’s appropriate, and if they did question it, it’s almost guaranteed to be from someone older, either an older child or an adult they’re told to respect. It wouldn’t get anywhere. If they were teenagers, maybe, but most of these kids are four through ten. We can’t expect them to talk about it. Most of them can’t even conceptualize it.”
It feels like a very quiet whisper in a very quiet room: it was me, it says, but Spencer won’t admit to it.
This is what it takes for a victim to speak up.

Summary
Diana Reid takes her son in her arms, snuggles up beside him, and starts reading about the linguistic choices of Edgar Allen Poe’s works. He falls asleep there with his father's note clutched in his left hand, his mother’s sleep-shirt in the other.
He wakes to her screaming. He doesn’t catch sight of her face before the social workers are taking him out of the room.
Spencer never grabs his backpack from the floor. His dad will be mad.
Or: When William Reid leaves, he sends CPS in his wake. This alters the course of Spencer's life.

Summary
His bathroom cabinets will look different. He won’t stash Dilaudid behind the Imodium and Nyquill anymore, he won’t keep it in an old Tylenol box so no one sees, needles won't catch his sight; he will smash the bottles on the pavement outside if it means he won’t see them again.
(That Tylenol box never moves, and he never takes out his trash.)
He gets two more days of relative peace. Spencer doesn’t reach for the box, but he digs the needles out of the trash and uncaps one.
He just has to feel it.
In addiction recovery, Spencer finds another way to satisfy the cravings.
