    Summary

    Usually that look of distrust, of distaste, is rooted in the Galra blood. In the near-expectation people have that one day he’s going to lose himself to it.

    But he’s never had them look at him like this because of his father, before. Because he dares to call himself human, because he dared to survive.

    It’s worse. Somehow, this is so much worse.

    (OR: hurt people hurt people, and after the war, there is plenty of hurt to go around. Keith's burden was set in stone the moment Krolia crashed down to Earth.)

    Summary

    “What can you tell me about how you got to know the Winter Soldier?”

    Wilson chuckles. “The first time I met Buck—Sergeant Barnes—he ripped the steering wheel out of the car I was driving on the freeway. He got on the roof, punched through the windshield, pulled the steering wheel off. Just like that.” He mimes with his hands as he describes it.

    This doesn’t sound like an auspicious beginning to me, but Wilson is laughing.

    Summary

    The particulars of Bucky’s pardon get put to a hypothetical. Bucky can keep it hypothetical by doing a little favor, cleaning up a few messes. By chasing some old ghosts through the American darkness. Easy enough. Right?

    Bucky travels ten thousand miles searching for redemption. Sam travels ten thousand miles searching for Bucky. Neither of them seem to be able to find what they’re looking for.

    Summary

    Sam has one more thing to say about that damn list. And one more name to add. If Bucky can bear to hear it.

    Summary

    Would you have taken it, Zemo asked him once. Sam said no, with the righteous conviction afforded only to someone who never had to make that choice. Sam longs for the luxury of that conviction, now.

    Sam makes the only decision he can. But everyone has to deal with the fallout. And then there’s the minor matter of yet another shadowy organization recreating the serum for unknown purposes…
