Summary
“Such a dirty mind… I bet you were just thinking about it. Feeling me take you. My hands on you… sinking in nice and slow…”
He shuddered and shook his head, barely perceptible.
“You know I can tell when you lie, Stevie.”
He groaned. “Gotta stop talking like that…”
“Why? Because you like it so much? Ohh… maybe I’ll get a nice big one. Even thicker than Buck? Split you wide open when I fuck you with it?” I looked up past him. Bucky was watching me take Steve apart, one side of his lip between his teeth, pupils blown out like he was thinking the same thing.One night a kink got unlocked. Now Cookie just has to convince them both to admit it.

Summary
** ON HIATUS **
Everyone says Gotham is a rough place. They say the Bowery is one of the roughest parts. I don't know if that's true. The Hope House and Clinic is my labor of love, offering care and community to the neighborhood I call home, defending the people here, helping them to carve out a reasonable life however I can. But, fighting the tide of an uncaring city can attract all kinds of attention. It's almost never the good kind. Vigilantes, mobsters, real estate developers, or any of the other powers that be in a place like this.
Needless to say, my life running a non-profit is never boring. But when an injured man collapses practically on my doorstep, and wakes up not remembering who he is, my personal life might just get even more complicated.

Summary
Our protagonist of "The World Keeps Changing" has struck out on her own and taken to the road on her own agenda. These are her adventures, navigating a changing world, missing her loved ones, making new connections and rediscovering old ones.
World building and personas exist somewhere between the MCU and comics, but you will see nods to canon events. I have also taken liberties with timelines to line up certain characters and events which are not canon. Recommend reading the first part of this series "The World Keeps Changing" before this.
Individual Chapters will have warnings and tags in the notes as needed.

Summary
I mention this in Chapter 48 of When It All Comes Crashing when Steve proposes to Bucky. Can also be read as a stand alone WW2 Steve Rogers fic.
This is my love letter to Pre-serum Steve. I don’t believe for a second that there was NOT ONE SINGLE GIRL in all of 1930s-40s Brooklyn who thought that little firecracker of a man was the bee’s knees. So I made her. Also, because Steve deserves better than some Easter egg in She-Hulk about him losing his virginity to a USO dancer in 1943.
And we all deserve better than that anemic chemistry with Peggy Carter. I will die on this hill.
