    Summary

    The Security Admin Department at Stark Industries has a point system in place to pass the time.

    +10 points for tagging management with a "Kick Me" post it note
    +10 points for paging a punny fake name over the office intercom without getting caught
    +10 points for stealing any office supplies off Clint's desk and returning it in jello
    +20 points for making Steve swear

    It's a good thing productivity isn't in the job description.

    Summary

    Bucky is a disabled vet struggling with reintegrating into civilian life. He has a routine and a rhythm, and he doesn't like to let anything - big or small - disrupt it. That all changes the day Bucky finds himself inside CATastrophe, the local pet rescue, recovering from a panic attack in the back room of the shop.

    He’s used to walking by the place, not visiting, but the next thing Bucky knows, he’s hanging signs and being used as a climbing tree for a bunch of freshly-acquired kittens. And he just...keeps going back. First for the kittens, then for the disaster shop owner who rescues actual kittens from actual trees and teaches archery as a side-gig, and eventually because he’s hopelessly in love.

    (Clint was in love before Bucky ever walked in the door.)

    Summary

    Bucky hadn’t expected anything like the farmhouse. He’d expected an out of the way safehouse somewhere, some run-down apartment or overly cheerful suburban nightmare. But Natasha had landed the quinjet in idyllic farmland, big white farmhouse and faded red barn perfectly framed by the wide blue sky. He’d always just thought of Iowa as “one of those states in the middle.” But actually, Iowa was...beautiful. Or this part of it, at least. He stood at the bottom of the ramp, duffle bag slung biting into his shoulder, and he felt something loosen inside him. Not enough, not yet. But it was a start.

    ***

    In which Bucky's having trouble adjusting to life with the Avengers and Clint offers to take him to his farm for a little time off...and they both find more than they were expecting.

    Summary

When he's not in hiding, [tactical retreat] he mutters to himself, he's still kind of lost. The common areas feel like they're for other people, spaces and activities meant for someone who deserves them. So when he ventures out, still wrapped in layers of tactical gear more often than not, he ends up brooding against walls and in corners.

    Summary

    Clint is only a couple of sips into his cardboard cup of coffee, his brain barely out of neutral, which is probably why it takes him so long to realize that some damn psycho is trying to kidnap his dog.

    Excerpt:

    “I’m not some charity case,” Bucky says pugnaciously.

    “I didn’t think you were,” Clint answers back readily enough. “I mean, I can tell you’re fucked up for sure, but of the two of us, I’m probably the bigger disaster. My sleep schedule is shit, and I drink coffee straight from the pot. I sing in the shower even though I’m deaf as fuck. I have arrows everywhere because I’m an archer — did I tell you that? And I was raised in a literal circus, so I’m not exactly domestic. Let’s see, what else?” He squints down at the ground, rubbing the back of his neck. “Oh, yeah, I won the building in a poker game with the Russian mafia and every once in awhile they show up and try to take it back, but usually I handle it, no problem. Uh...”

    Clint happens to looks up and Bucky’s eyes are wide, his mouth hanging open. Clint’s hand freezes where he’s rubbing the back of his neck, suddenly embarrassed. Yeah, when you put it all out there at once, it doesn’t sound so good.

    Summary

    The Frozen Four championships have arrived, baby, and here I sit in the press room in Chicago looking down at the arena. Do NOT ask me how the Swallow got invited to this shindig, guys, but we ain’t looking a gift horse in the mouth.

    Of course, our dear readers don’t expect play-by-plays from the Swallow when you can get gossip, and I just spotted my first celebrities.

    Jack Zimmerman and Alexei Mashkov of the Providence Falconers have just arrived. For those of you not following hockey, this is newsworthy. During his 6 years with the Falconers, Zimmerman has been a noted recluse, and sighting him in the wild is like spotting a yeti.

    “Hi Jack! Sorry I missed your call, and I’m sorry I didn’t get to see y’all at graduation! My mama needed me back last minute. And besides, y’all don’t need me crying in your photos! Anyways I gotta go, I’m being called. Let me know when you get all situated, okay? I have pies I want you to try. Bye, Jack. Have a good summer.”
    _______

    “Hey, Bitty. Not a problem. I’m glad you made it safe, I — we were all worrying. I hope you have a good summer too. I — yeah. I’ll see you.”

    Summary

    "Jack!" Eric bounces on his toes and smacks at Jack's arms, startling him. "Hire me for the summer!"

    Jack squints at him. "What?"

    "Let me be your nanny for the first couple months! I'll have to go home for a couple weeks to make my parents happy, but you said your parents'll be helping out, so I can schedule it when it works for them to be there. I know you'll have to hire someone new when the school year starts, but I think you'll be a lot happier havin' someone you know around at first instead of some stranger. Newborns are such a handful to begin with, but I know how to deal with them, I swear."

    When Camilla gets pregnant from a one-time hookup at the start of Jack's senior year, he decides to keep the baby.

    This changes the course of Bitty's life.

    Summary

    Clint is just… nice. He’s just a nice guy. He has an easy, generous smile, and his humor is teasing and self-deprecating but never cruel. He’s non-threatening. Bucky doesn’t like people getting too close, but he doesn’t mind when Clint sits next to him on the beat-up couch they liberated from some dumpster three blocks over. He doesn’t even flinch anymore when Clint passes into his peripheral. It’s easy. Like he belongs there.

    Summary

    The guy pictured was in profile, most of his back to the viewer, and he was braced with a bow in his hands, the bowstring pulled back to his far ear. The sleeveless shirt he was wearing was an eye-searing purple, and the musculature it revealed was enough to catch the eye, but it was the red words that curled along his forearm that had caused all the outrage. It was absurd that they’d have been nothing special if only they’d been black and already matched.

    World’s Greatest Marksman, huh? they said, and underneath in white the poster blared YOU DECIDE, with a list of dates that were all sold out.

    Summary

    “You’ve got, like.” The witch taps his own chest, center mass, with the slice of pizza. “An infection, kinda. In your soul, I guess. Whatever you want to call it. Nobody wants to call it magic.”

    “I don’t have any magic,” Bucky says, immediately. He’s not a witch.

    “Sure,” the witch says. “Well, that thing you have that connects you to Steve, the part of you that can form bonds to other people. That part of you. It’s fucked.”

    “Fucked,” Bucky repeats. He wonders if that’s a medical or magical diagnosis.

    Summary

    Faintly, in the background, he hears Lardo say “I can’t believe this is real life right now,” and Ransom saying, “Is this why everyone thinks he’s hot shit? Has Jack secretly been a player this whole time?” but Bitty can’t really concentrate over the sound of rounded French-Canadian vowels and the sight of increasingly red cheeks.
