    Summary

    After spending a decade on the Archimedes with his crew, Cassius au Bellona has finally found happiness once again. A wife who loves him. A brother. And a persnickety Blue captain who keeps life interesting.

    Yet, Cassius is nothing if not unlucky. Ten years of peace is seemingly all he will be offered, as he is once again thrust into the political machinations of the Society. But this time, Cassius does not have the luxury to help as he once did--throwing all caution to the wind.

    Because his wife, Daphne, is dying. The Republic he wants to join, is failing.

    For the first time in ten years, Cassius is entangled in a mess once again. And he is terrified.

    Summary

    I may be ice: as frigid and deceptively fragile as frost at dawn—an apt crown for aphelion of the tantalising warmth that has ever tempted but never thawed me. Yet I’m also summer: mesmerising menace masked by mirth, debauched bearer of every earthly delight, purveyor of such luminescence that I rival Sol, although I’m damned myself to gloom that only a half–denizen of the Void can know.

    He may be fire: as fervid and dazzlingly ferocious as wildfire at zenith, subjugated to the furious tempest that rages within him, mercilessly as surf ravages scar, demanding immolation on a protean pyre—for whom does he burn tonight? Yet he’s also winter: winsome woe of reckoning, scourge to the sublime and dread of the decadent, although all he covets in these worlds are the halcyon days he’s due.

    We are both creatures of contradictions. It’s why we understand one another. But it’s not lost on me that ice and fire cannot mingle without the frailer’s demise, that summer and winter never meet anywhere but the Ice. We tried for temperance.

    We failed.

    Summary

    Rumlow actually smiles and crackles “our puppet, like you,” his voice so quiet and the words so distorted that Barnes just barely makes them out. He tells himself that they’re just words, and they’re just words designed to elicit an emotional response. It’s been just two months; there’s nothing HYDRA could have done by now, to make those words true. Right?

    A story of how far three people will go to bring Steve Rogers home -- and of how far HYDRA will go to bring home their Winter Soldier.

    Summary

    Liz starts to notice some mysterious connections with the bloody gun running trade of South Cali and the pristine and professional Agent Ressler. Seems like someone doesn't like having red on their ledger. Talk about awkward family reunions.

    (AU! where Donald Ressler is Jax Teller's-kind of-estranged older brother)
