Summary
No, Bucky Barnes is not fucking good.
He’s back to dealing with stupid gigs he didn’t choose with stupid hidden agendas and lives on the line. He’s trying to be a leader, but he’s right back to feeling unstable, and to tie it all off with a fucking bow Sam kisses him again and it feels like he’s regressed three years. Back to bad decisions, bad dreams, out of control and out of his hands. Back to barely breathing.
So, you can forgive him if his judgment is a little off.
Or; A governmental facility goes dark in Northern Virginia. The New Avengers receive their first mission; Sam Wilson follows.

Summary
Breaking: The City That Sometimes Sleeps? New York Wakes to New Avengers – Is This The Future Of Superheroes?
Bucky Barnes is used to not having a choice.
Rather, he’s learnt not to bother – history has proven that the universe doesn’t really care what he wants (a full congressional term; a break from the fighting; some peace and fucking quiet). So, when his political career gets cut abruptly short against his will, Bucky thinks this might as well happen and bends the knee. Perhaps it’s self preservation; If he doesn’t go after what he really wants, the universe won’t get the chance to ruin it for him.
Maybe that’s why he hasn’t called Sam Wilson.
Or; The New Avengers learn what it’s like to not be alone. Bucky Barnes learns what it’s like to have five people up in your business.

Summary
“You’re sending me on a two-man undercover,” Bucky says, helplessly, “staying in a vineyard retreat, alone, with Wilson.”
“Pack your swim trunks,” Daisy adds, “apparently it’s got a hot tub.”
Bucky looks at Sam. Sam looks back at Bucky. Sam’s arms are crossed over his chest, his forearms bare. Bucky carefully doesn’t look at Sam’s forearms, or the way his t-shirt is pulled tight over his shoulders, straining just a little at the seams. Bucky’s not looking at that at all. He makes eye contact, careful to keep his face neutral.
Sam’s eyes are soft and dark. Maybe a little amused. He has very long eyelashes.
Bucky swallows hard.
“Great,” he says. “That’s just— great.”

Summary
"You can take Daisy out to fetch the cloak-"
"How do you know that?"
Arthur closed his eyes, expression riddled with irritation before turning to look at Merlin expectantly.
"Know what?"
“The mare I use. You know I call her Daisy? I never told you that." Merlin explained. Arthur stared for a few moments. He could see the flicker of emotions pass easily over him. Anger, annoyance, exasperation, indignance, and finally acceptance...AKA the Five Stages of Grief (Pendragon Edition).
"You talk to the horse.” He pointed out. Merlin narrowed his eyes.
“I whisper to the horse."
"...am I supposed to not hear it?” Arthur asked. Merlin wondered how likely it would be that he also heard him whispering magical spells if he heard him murmuring to the bloody horse. “Also, only you would choose such a ridiculous name.” He muttered. Merlin swallowed. This wasn't a problem at all, right? Right.
Or
Merlin knows Arthur well. Better than he knew himself apparently. What he hadn't expected was for Arthur to know his servant just as well... This causes problems. (also known as "The Time Merlin Had a Mental Breakdown Over Arthur Being a Normal Human")

Summary
The body of a Prince was not like anyone’s. His hand only ever held others in a firm handshake, and rarely without gloves. Sometimes he would raise the delicate hands of noble ladies to his lips for a brief kiss, but it was all out of propriety. He rarely touched others, but what was even rarer was others touching him. The only ones who dared were his knights, and even they only smacked his shoulder or patted his back in friendly roughhousing. Gripping each other’s arms before battle was the most heartfelt touch they exchanged. Lingering soft touches were not done. Any lingering touch on his person could be interpreted as political movements. After all, Arthur’s body wasn’t his own. It never had been. He was Camelot’s first and foremost. Even above his own needs and wants.

Summary
“What did you do now Merlin?”
“Got cursed.”
Merlin slumped into the room and fell onto the bench of the table across from Gaius, laying his head dramatically on a book of something or other Arthur didn’t bother to look too closely at.
“Cursed.” Gaius echoed, unimpressed.
“Cursed.” Merlin sighed back, like some kind of weepy maiden.
“He can’t lie,” Arthur supplied, walking further into the room and standing behind Merlin, pushing his head off the book roughly. Merlin squawked and glared at him before shaking his head and turning back to Gaius.
"It gets worse."

Summary
Arthur is cursed to obey Merlin’s orders.
Obviously this has very little impact on their lives, since no servant would ever dare give orders to a prince.
