    Summary

    Ten years ago, Bucky disappeared.

    Now, Steve has built a life without him—teaching art, and trying not to wonder what became of the boy who once meant everything to him.

    Then one night, in the middle of the city, he sees him.

    But the man Steve finds isn’t the boy he knew. Bucky is volatile, paranoid, and hiding something behind a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He chain-smokes, talks to things that aren’t there, and sometimes forgets where he is.

    What starts as a chance encounter becomes something far more complicated as Steve begins to piece together the past Bucky’s too scared to tell—and the present he’s trying to survive.

    Or, the story of how Bucky lost his arm and fell in love with his childhood best friend.

    Summary

    The Soldier knew protocol. A failed mission meant punishment, then the Chair, then cryo. He had to go collect punishment, to ensure proper function on the next mission. It would be a risk, going back to the Vault. Insight had been compromised, communication was down. The Soldier did not know if the Vault was safe. The head hurt. He had been out of cryo too long. The words of the Captain on the helicarrier had damaged the neurological function. He would need the Chair to return to working condition. The Chair was in the Vault.

     

    ****

    In which the Winter Soldier grapples with his newly found freedom, Steve Rogers tries to deal, and Sam Wilson wonders if maybe he should have skipped that morning run

    Summary

    Maitimo knows he is not in his own bed even before he is fully awake. He is cold, freezing cold, as no elf in Aman could ever be. It doesn’t get cold in blessed Valinórë and yet Maitimo shivers, reaching out for a blanket that is not there. His right forearm hits hard, icy stone. His right hand hits nothing.

    In a far too soft bed, under the pure golden light of Laurelin in a Tirion of many years ago, Maedhros opens his eyes. He digs his right hand into the folds of unfamiliar bedsheets, and knows immediately that something is wrong.

    ---------------

    Maitimo in Amon Ereb in a Beleriand that he does not yet know must figure out how to get back to his own body while trying to understand the horror that his future self has become.

    Maedhros in an Aman he thought long dead rushes to fix the mistakes that ended up dooming his line and costing him nearly everyone he ever loved.
    The thing is, Maedhros might not actually want to get back to his own body in his own time at all...

    Summary

    “Hear me and obey my order, vassals of mine!” The King said. “Cease your senseless fighting, as this feud between Houses will be no more! I, Finwë King of the Noldor, decree that to prevent the chaos that follows you, your Houses shall be united as one through the sacred bonds of marriage! Your firstborns shall be wed and bonded in a month’s time, and they shall bury the strife of their parents through their exchange of life!”
    .
    .
    In which Meadhros and Fingon were forced to marry to end the war between their feuding houses and neither are thrilled with the arrangement.
    Maedhros is fearful and suspicious and wants nothing more than to escape his fate. Fingon is hopeful and desperate to make this marriage work. Family feuds are not so easily dismissed. Assumptions and prejudices are not easily forgotten. And love takes years of work before it begins to take root.

    A tale of animosity, fear and anger, and how it blooms into a love between two unlucky people. But how does one win the love of someone they've been taught to hate?
