Summary
After the war, Katara loses herself in the rhythms of tribal life. In the South Pole the moon is sovereign. Deep in the ice and snow, and in the heart of her element, it is easy to forget that there is a land of fire, smoke and ash- the kingdom of sun and dragons. Her journey with the Avatar slips into memory: a strange past life, shadowy and ephemeral.
But some things do not stay consigned to twilight, nor to history.
She is 20 years old when she sees him again.

Summary
"I think about you," he said. "More than is appropriate."
The city continued its business around them, indifferent. She could hear a distant tram, a restaurant's spillage of laughter. The magnolia tree dropped a petal onto the stone between her knee and his.
"For how long," she said.
"Longer than I've allowed myself to think about it clearly."

Summary
You and Levi have a truce: when sharing Erwin’s bed, (almost) anything goes. You both want him too much to let your years-long feud stop you.
But after reclaiming Shiganshina, you have to decide: how do you two keep going without your fulcrum? Is there anything left between you—and were you the only one keeping your true feelings secret? Caught up in memories and grief, it becomes clear that the only way to move forward is to do it together.
(from the serum to the sea, and everything that came before.)

Summary
Achilles, the sun casting its last rays around his head like a halo, resplendent and aureate.
Achilles, the soles of his feet flashing pink as he sprints across the beach.
Achilles, slender fingers plucking the strings of his lyre, eyes green like fresh pressed olives. His cat's smile.
"Guess what I'm thinking about," he says.
The robin that flew over our heads but a minute past. The dream he had last night of a ship with purple sails, its prow slicing the waves of the Aegean sea. The wooden amulet that hangs about the augur's neck. This and this and this.
"I'll be the first hero to be happy," he would tell me years later. "You're the reason."
A collection of all the scenes we didn't get to see in The Song of Achilles. Follows the timeline of the book.

Summary
Steve had enjoyed giving orders back when no one had ever looked to Steve as a leader, or died while trying to follow Steve's orders. Bucky had been happy to follow Steve's orders before he'd been undone by so many orders to kill and destroy.
Sometimes Steve thought he'd be happy if he never had to give another order again.- Words:

Summary
He feels like an impostor a little more each time Steve calls him Bucky, because he doesn’t have a right to that name, not really. Bucky’s the name of a man who died seventy years ago, a stupid kid from Brooklyn who followed not Captain America but Steve Rogers into hell and never came out again.

Summary
In this story: exquisitely tragic and beautiful Russian romance, James Bond shenanigans, designer drugs with highly specific effects, Steve Rogers’ overactive imagination, a swimming metaphor. Also: a villain has a secret sex room, some assassins join the mile high club, and Captain America punches a shark.

Summary
She carries knives differently than he does. He’s always considered the knife less a tool, more an extension of himself. When you’re a weapon, the tools you use become part of you. Some things don’t change, can’t change, even after the programming is gone. When she holds a knife, there’s an awareness there that he wishes he could learn. It’s so ingrained in him that sometimes he doesn’t think twice – the knife is him, he is the knife.
But her? No. She knows. She knows the difference. There is her. And then there is the knife.
And he’s not sure which is more terrifying.Bookmarked by MadeleineQ

Summary
In the old world, there is an old story, about an old man who could not die. Who guarded his own death jealously and cunningly, who devised all manners of traps and ingenious hoaxes to hold off the day of death. Though he was old, and corrupt, and avaricious, we are taught that immortality is possible. You just have to want it more than you want to live.
—or: Romanova to Romanoff, the girl without end.

Summary
'Steve smiles against him, still getting his kicks with the whole thing. Because he might be a truly wonderful person, but he can also be a little shit if he wants to be.
“Never fucking do that to me again,” Bucky says, but it lacks venom.
“I won’t.” Steve says.
But Bucky knows he will because he’s Steve.'
OR:
Whether he's doing it on purpose or not, Steve consistently scares the crap out of Bucky, who is already trying to deal with his looming feelings for the little punk. It's giving him gray hair.- Language:
