    Summary

    Therapy is a lot harder than Sam had let on, Steve thinks. Talking about things he’s never talked about, revealing things he’s never revealed. And to someone who’d started out a perfect stranger. It goes against every instinct in himself, all of which tell him to keep these things to himself, to let it all out only in the physical violence of a fist against a punching bag.

    It’s been a month now since Bucky—Jigsaw—came back of his own volition after the auction debacle and his escape from the Tower. Since they first pissed off the FBI by ruining a handful of raids against Clint’s “tracksuit mafia.” Since they raided that bank vault and found everything waiting there inside it that Jigsaw had said would be there. Waiting, perhaps, to be used.

    It’s been a month, but it feels so much longer.

    (Or: The one where the Avengers have successfully brought the asset in after his murder sprees, and the therapy (and relationships) can begin in earnest. A direct sequel to Blue-Eyed Matador.)

    Summary

    This series started out as a place to stash prequel ficlets that were intended to be brief flashbacks/asides in a sprawling, unposted, in-progress Bucky recovery fic. But then the recovery fic's backstory got overly complicated and grew a narrative of its own. I cut the narrative off, but two more took its place. Go figure.

    (And the ficlets... all turned out to be stories. Again, go figure.)

    There are definitely tie-in/continuation shenanigans throughout this series, and the individual stories will be referenced by the aforementioned WIP, but each story of the series should largely be readable on its own. Pieces will be posted as they are polished up, probably out of chronological order. Each one will have at least one timestamp inside, though, and often several.

    Summary

    It’s a small hunting cabin. It’s unlikely to have heat or electricity, and it looks uninhabited, but it’s shelter, and Clint is beyond relieved to have managed to make it within striking distance. Just a little longer … a little farther …

    It takes him long enough that he would be ashamed under any other circumstances, but eventually he gets the lock open and swings the door wide.

    “Fuck me.”

    It’s a small one-room cabin, dark and dusty, and notable primarily for the fact that the fucking Winter Soldier is inside, straightening up from where he was hunched by the fireplace, drawing his knife.
