    Summary

    “Which of these do you like better?”

    Bucky holds two signs up to the camera. Both are a dark navy blue. White letters at the top of each read BARNES FOR CONGRESS 2027, but the smaller gold text at the bottom differs. On the first sign, THE BUCK STOPS HERE. On the second, DON’T BUCK THIS UP.

    Sam stares. “Is ‘neither’ an option?”

     

    (Sam and Bucky are exes with benefits. Also, Bucky is running for Congress. It's a whole thing.)

    Summary

    Sam Wilson is busier than ever – balancing missions, public duties, and the weight of the shield. Bucky Barnes, newly elected as a congressman for New York, is trying to make amends in a different way: with policies instead of punches, speeches instead of fights. When a few late nights and long commutes lead to Bucky crashing at Sam’s D.C. apartment, it’s supposed to be temporary. Practical. Friendly.

    Then one spare key turns into extra shirts in the closet. An extra toothbrush appears on the sink. A joint grocery list. They start cooking dinner together, running in the mornings, and accidentally building a life together. Lines start to blur, and routines turn into something else.

    A story about two idiots in love, learning that home isn’t a place you find. It’s what you build together.

    Summary

    A late-night call forces Sam Wilson to confront a responsibility he never asked for and a man he isn’t sure he understands.

    or

    Sam Wilson never asked to be James Barnes’ emergency contact. Yet here he is — 2AM, IKEA dreams ruined, and bailing out the most emotionally constipated man alive.

    Summary

    As soon as he saw the power signature attached to the unidentified space ship, Sam thought about Bob. He has a feeling Bucky’s troubled teammate is going to be a major factor in whatever lies ahead, and he’s not sure why that makes his stomach twist. He’s been waiting for something to come between him and Bucky that they won’t be able to work through, and this feels like it could be the beginning of the end. Maybe Sam’s just paranoid because he has intimacy issues. Maybe he’s paranoid because whatever is in that spaceship seems to have enough power to destroy the world.
