Summary
There’s something wrong, and it’s getting worse. His chest heaves, trying to choke down air and choking on mint instead. There’s a low growl rumbling out from the walls behind him. He stares himself down in the mirror, trying to glean what shoe is about to drop. His head is spinning, and everything feels slightly out of place, and it’s going to get worse and worse and worse.
And then the tension breaks.

Summary
Tony accidentally stumbles onto the fact that Steve isn't holding things together quite as well as he makes it look. As awkward as it is at first, Tony's been there, and he finds himself reaching out to him.
But the more he tries to push past Steve's walls the more he realises just how deep his issues go. And they all seem to be pointing in one direction.

Summary
The biggest lies are usually the ones we tell ourselves, and Steve has been telling lots of lies, especially lately. That in spite of how he can’t stop chewing his fingernails bloody, the never ending nightmares chasing him out of bed, and the way merely seeing ice sends him into a panic, he’s fine.
But when his latest mission with The Avengers goes horribly wrong, Steve can no longer keep lying, not even to himself.
Diagnosed with PTSD and placed on medical leave, initially Steve is resentful, stubbornly refusing the idea there’s anything that can make it better. Until Sam suggests a Service Dog, and introduces him to James Buchanan Barnes, a fellow vet and trainer who swears one of his dogs can help, if only Steve can summon enough bravery to take a leap of faith and accept a four-legged companion in his life.
What follows is a long and winding journey of fear, doubt and self-recrimination. But also hope, acceptance and redefining what it means to be a hero, as Steve finally faces the issues that have been haunting him his entire life.
There is also a lot of fur, conversations with dogs, and a cross-country road trip, as Steve rebuilds his life and maybe, just maybe, falls in love along the way.

"Was Buck Cleven, a Yankee's Fan?" by RabidPlotBunniesAttackkkk

Summary
“Now,” the Gestapo man said primly. “We shall begin again.”
But Bucky wasn’t going to answer. It was worth it. It was. He chanted to himself.
Repeating it to himself as the questioning went on. After all this was the behavior he’d been expecting from the beginning especially since what had happened back at that cursed town. Weathering the pain as he was drawn to his knees, arms twisted up behind his back, grunted at the pain of strained joints. Grunting again when his head was yanked back by the hair so he was looking up at Stromburg, who’d moved from around the desk, leaning against it.
—————————————
This story sprung from my obsession with Bucky in the Dulag as well as the scars on Buck's cheeks. I've seen in other comments that Buck and Bucky were apparently held at the Dulag at the same time, in real life? So I thought, if that's so, why not take advantage of that fact.
Hope y'all enjoy!

Everyone's heard of the Kelvin Incident. The same can't be said for the Massacre of Tarsus IV, or even the name James T. Kirk. But for every two things that change, at least one remains the same.

Summary
Samantha LaRusso's eyes widened as she stepped into the waiting room of the emergency department with her mom, Amanda. The antiseptic smell of the place was a stark contrast to the stale air of the laser tag arena where she had last seen Hawk's unchecked aggression. She couldn't shake the image of Demetri's arm bent at an unnatural angle from her mind. Her heart sank as she caught sight of a figure being wheeled in on a gurney, his face a mess of bruises and a neck brace stabilizing his head. It was Robby. *Rewrite of 3x05*

Summary
As she rode in the car with Robby and Johnny, Tory's mind spun with all the recent loses: her mom, Kwon's death, Robby's injury. But her conversation with the LaRusso's echoed loudest in her head:
"No one besides my mom has ever shown me that much kindness. So... thank you. I don't know what I did to deserve it."
"What matters is how willing we are to acknowledge those mistakes and how we move on from them. And you've done that better than most people. So, yes, you absolutely deserve some good in your life."
"Just like you deserve to win."

*Set during 6x14* Tory comes over to the Lawrence-Diaz apartment for dinner the night before her final fight with Zara.

Summary
"What wrong?" Johnny asked, his voice thick with concern as he looked at the kid lying on the floor, writhing in pain.
"My knee," Robby groaned through gritted teeth, his breath coming in ragged grasps. His face was a mask of agony, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Miguel hovered nervously nearby, his eyes darting between his friend and the retreating figure of Axel. The echoes of the fight still hung in the air, a stark reminder of the chaos that had just unfolded.
Johnny's gaze hardened as he watched Axel leave, but he knew he couldn't let his anger get the better of him right now. "I've got you," he said firmly, feeling Robby's hand grasp his forearm tightly.
-----
*Set during 6x13* Johnny and Carmen take Robby to the emergency room following his fight with Axel.

Summary
"You better fight fair against Miguel," Robby ends up saying, staring right into Axel's eyes when he looks at him again. "No matter what your sensei tells you."
Axel nods. And with slow, hesitant steps walks over so he's standing right next to Robby. "You were a good opponent. Hard to beat. I did not expect you to be."
OR
Robby is in the hospital and Axel still has to fight for the title of male champion.

Romance down the line, but the endgame won't happen until a future story. Anyway, Sam is pissed about a lot of things and Robby is trying not to be any more.

Summary
“I don’t even remember what happened!” Tory stops, at the words, at the way they seem to tear out of Robby, at the look in his eyes. She knows that look, she’s seen it in the mirror. She’s -
“What do you mean you don’t remember?” Her voice is surprisingly calm, enough so that Robby fumbles for a minute. Knocked off guard by the fact that she’s still here, by the fact that she’s listening, by the fact that something in Tory is howling and breaking at the same time.
-
(Or, Tory realizes what actually happened with Zara - before Robby does. She deals with the aftermath because she's not running from Robby, not this time.)
