    Summary

    The last time he saw her was the first time she met him. Every time he reached for her in his memory – in Siberia, in Rostock, in Bucharest – she had been walking toward that moment on the train.

    Their lives ran in opposite directions. His beginning was her end.

    Does it count as an embrace if we've stood in the same wind, seen the same sky, but at the wrong place, wrong time?

    Bucky remembers his past out of order, but that's okay, because Mirai’s story was never linear either.

    Isekai/time traveller!OC x Bucky fic, in which she finds herself in Bucky's past again and again, and discovers what home really means on the way.

    Rated for blood, violence, and mature themes. Timeline spans sporadically across 1938 to 2023.

    Summary

    You’ve timed it, once. Out of idle curiosity. How long it takes Superman to cross the city versus how long Clark Kent takes to come back from lunch.

    The numbers line up beautifully.

    You don’t say anything. Why would you?

    You did scoff, though, when you read Clark Kent’s interview with Superman. An exclusive. You rolled your eyes at the byline. There was lazy, and then there was lazy.

     

    Or
    Superman somehow becomes your friend in between chess games, instant coffee, and Mario Kart.

     

    Or
    You know a secret about Superman. That's ok, he knows a secret about you too.

    Summary

    Of course she knows of Bridgerton, who doesn't at this day and age? Her friend has been hounding her to watch the series but did she watch it? NO. So, imagine her reaction when she wakes up and finds out that she was in Regency London, the Bridgerton one at that.

    What was a girl supposed to do? Enjoy her money of course.

    Huh, wait a minute– isn't that Fiyero? So this was a musical then?

    Summary

    Savannah Huffman was not his first choice of a public relations specialist. James Buchanan Barnes was not an easy client to work with. They could make do without the other, live without the other's respective baggage— easily. Without cost, without complaint.

    Summary

    “What can you do?”

     

    “Well…” you start after a pause that goes on too long. “I am- I am one of the foremost black hats in the country, cracking code is sort of my thing. I’m- Miss de Fontaine wishes for me to become the brain for your operation, handling the technological side of your missions so that you can focus on the physical parts.”

     

    "Is that why you’re not here, then? Keeping your identity concealed?”

     

    “Oh God no! No… I just- I work best from where I am right now.” And nowhere, nowhere else.

    ---

    Fourteen months following the void out of Manhattan, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has you assigned as the newest member of her struggling superhero team. The New Avengers. You serve as their eyes and ears, their brain, and their personal AI in the style of the famous JARVIS, though you lack the cool accent.

    Oh, and also you haven't left your home in nearly a decade, so.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    There are few fics I would genuinely read books of, as I am a full believer in not adding unnecessary chapters to things that don’t need them.

    That being said, I would sit my ass down and read a planet-wide library of this series, even if it was just these three chapters again and again and again. Wish this was so much longer author, but so glad you shared this with us!

    Summary

    You signed on to become part of a study when you realized that you didn't have anything left to lose. What harm could it really do? How much worse could it really get?

    You didn't expect to get answers to those questions. You also didn't expect to meet Bob. You'd end up thankful for at least one of those things.

    Summary

    After the battle with Thanos, getting dusted for five years followed directly by another battle with Thanos, you were more than content living in your small, small town on the coast of Maine, overlooked by a beautiful lighthouse. Your life was perfect, you thought. Quiet, sure, maybe a little lonely, but perfect. Until Bucky Barnes showed up on your doorstep with Bob Reynolds in tow, in desperate need of a place to keep him out of the public eye following the Void Incident in New York.

    Summary

    The worst part was knowing that the thing that bound you two together, the invisible thread between your hearts, wasn’t love, or laughter, or shared hobbies. It was pain. It was trauma. It was your fathers. Dirtbag dads with too much rage and nowhere to put it but down on their kids. That’s what started it all.

     

    In grade school, you ran into a boy with a corduroy pants, a soft blue sweater, and a face just as blotchy and miserable as yours. Over the years, you both have a front row seat to each others' unraveling.

    Summary

    the new avengers are...struggling to garner the support of the people, for lack of a better word. turns out saving the city from an endless nightmare of back-to-back shame rooms doesn't mean much to people nowadays (who would've thought?). asking captain america to vouch for them is... out of the question, to say the least.

    that leaves you: tony stark's pride and joy, the elusive coo of stark industries.

    it's valentina's idea, really - an idea that bucky has vehemently tried to shut down. you're just a kid - one he swore to his pal that he'd look after, keep out of trouble. and this has trouble written all over it.

    but, if anyone was capable of understanding bob (the power, the sentry, the void) it would be you... right?

    (bucky really hopes he's not biting himself in the ass here)

    Summary

    "Have you ever heard of Omelas, doctor?"
    You pause, brow furrowing in thought. Fiction isn’t really your forte. You give a so-so kind of gesture.
    "Story from the seventies or something. Ursula Le Guin right?”
    De Fontane smiles that too-big smile again. The one that doesn’t reach her eyes.
    “Correct. Omelas is a Utopian city whose safety and prosperity depends entirely on the perpetual misery of a single child. Or person, in this case.”
    “Is that the job? Keep a child’s life miserable for the sake of the world?"
    “Well, we're not a utopia, that's for sure. And it’s not a child, it’s an adult man."
    "So my job, around my other duties, is to keep one guy miserable?"
    "Think more beige. Being miserable leads to an entirely different problem.”
    .
    If Bob is depressed, the world ends. If Bob is happy, the world also ends. It's your job to make sure neither of those things happen.
    In which Reader is hired on as a medic for The New Avengers and completely fumbles the brief.

    Summary

    Tav holds the lute up by the body. It’s broken neck swings sadly, connected only by fraying strings.
    “I thought you said you were going to distract the mud mephits,” she says, flat and dry and unimpressed.
    You struggle against the suction of the bog. The mud creeps further up your neck as you grunt.
    “I did distract them.”
    “We sent you in to play a song or something. You threw your lute at them.”
    “I mean, they looked pretty surprised to me.”
    .
    In which the world’s worst bard is dragged on an adventure to save the world and makes it everyone’s problem.
