    Summary

    You knew that working at a highly praised, fine dining restaurant in New York City was going to be brutal. You're a professional, but you're human, and some mistakes are bound to happen. Instead of allowing you fix it, your boss has it out for you and refuses to let anything go. Always finding a way to criticize you. He wanted to watch the fire in your heart fizzle away until you're completely burnt out on doing the thing you love most.

    After you're fired you gave up on pursuing your passions in order to avoid slipping further into your depression, but when Tony Stark seeks you out and offers you a job there's no way he'd let you say no. He'd been a frequent guest at the restaurant, has had you cater for his parties, and he knows you. So after sending back a meal he did not like, and finding out about your firing, he had come up with an idea. The Avengers needed a live in chef, and you needed your confidence back. You accept his offer, the threat of your eviction not giving you a choice, but you have your own requests. Nobody can be in the kitchen while you cook. Only it doesn't last long until a couple of curious super soldiers start ignoring your one request.

    Summary

    Summer of 2014. Captain Steve Rogers is starting to find his footing in the 21st century as the Head Strategist of the newly established Avengers Initiative. He’s doing what he’s meant to do: protecting the world and leading his troops. With the newfound existence of aliens and the fall of the corrupted, infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D shaking the public’s trust, he has his work cut out for him. And that’s good, right? He doesn’t need anything else. What happened on a magical July morning a year ago was nothing at all.

    His world implodes as a wave of inexplicable, supernatural events washes over the globe. The blame is quickly pinned on former HYDRA operatives, the recently de-programmed Sergeant James Barnes among them. With no good options left, Steve and Bucky go rogue in an attempt to uncover and neutralize the threat before it swallows the world whole.

    The problem: the brilliant mind that might be the key to solving all this belongs to a woman Steve once scorned, and she won’t be happy to find him standing at her doorstep.

    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.

    Summary

    “Are you aware you just hacked your way through our trial system?” Steve leant back in his chair to diffuse any tension.
    “Yes sir,” you replied calmly.
    “You’re unapologetic in the fact you hacked your way through our trial system?” Steve commented.

    It wasn’t a question, but it wasn’t a statement either.
    You swallowed hard as you tried to read the room.
    “Was that not the test? To overcome the system?” You asked, looking between Steve and Pepper Potts.

    “Our trial system is meant to be impassable.” Pepper stated gently, no anger or upset in her tone. “An impossible test. Rigged in our favour.”

    Oh.
    Oh.
