    Summary

    Steve Rogers is a seasoned activist and not at all afraid to get arrested while protesting the building of a pipeline. HOWEVER he is TERRIFIED when he realizes he’ll be chained to the same backhoe as Bucky “very handsome southern boy who also plays guitar and struts like a panther in his very tight, worn thin blue jeans” Barnes.

    Our brave, tiny Steve will find out once and for all: Can you catch on fire from blushing over your crush?

    May Contain: Extended descriptions of how to get arrested while chained to a backhoe, copious amounts of sisters, Appalachian accents, cheerful silliness interspersed with tragic background realness. Pining with a happy ending. Chicken related controversy.

    Tragic background realness mainly consists of parents passing away, because who doesn’t love adult orphans. Discussion of funerals. Very brief homophobic interaction in chapter 18 (marked in the chapter intro notes). There is no violence, but there are a few moments where you might think there might be violence. Overall this is a romance not a gritty, hard hitting documentary.

    If I missed any potential triggers I always appreciate being told as I know what it's like to have my day/etc ruined by something in a fic.

    Summary

    Without all the drugs, the memory stuff had started flooding back in. Which was a laugh and a half, squatting in some leased flat that wouldn’t know a proper air conditioner if it had eyeballs, so Bucky had battened down the hatches and gone out to get himself a job.

    Summary

    “We’re going to turn right at the next light,” he instructs.

    There’s a certain intonation in his voice she hasn’t heard in a while. It takes her back to being seven, holding her knife with a weak wrist but all the conviction her little body could muster. To the late nights in the arena when he’d spar with her for real. She rarely won, but that was okay. If it was hard, that meant he was actually trying.

    “We?” she stammers.

    “Well, you’re not gonna learn if I do it for you.”

    (or, annabeth learns how to drive.)

    Summary

    “Is that so?” she says, putting her sketchbook aside. “I certainly don’t think I’m more riveting than one of the top schools in the country.”

    “Well, I certainly think so,” Percy says, and he quickly presses his mouth to hers. She can savor the kiss for only a moment before he pulls away slightly, searching her eyes for a few seconds, an amused smile in his own. “Nothing in this world can compare to the beauty in front of me right now.”

    Or, in which Annabeth is tired of menial schoolwork, and Percy wants to show her all the ways they can have fun instead.

    Summary

    “Find Medusa?” Percy spluttered, trying and failing not to sound indignant. “Nobody wants to find Medusa. You run into Medusa while trying to retrieve your uncle’s stolen lightning bolt and then mail her head to the gods after she keeps talking about how your eyes are like your father’s.”

    From behind him, Piper raised a single finger. “When you mail what to whom?”

    Percy glanced over his shoulder to give her a shrug. “Don’t worry about it. I was twelve,” he said before turning back to where Gabe was still fighting against the ropes binding his hands together. “Do you have any idea what to do with him?”

    Nico leaned over, craning his neck to better peer at the hot sauce that still stained Gabe’s face despite the years of statue-ification. “Um, we could see if your dad wants to turn him into a fish or something?”

    Percy grimaced. If Gabe Ugliano was a fish, then he’d be forced to hear the man’s voice in his head for years to come. But also, he could maybe mount him on a wall, so perhaps it wasn’t an entirely terrible idea.

    Or

    Medusa’s sculptures are mysteriously coming back to life. Percy doesn’t think murder is an unreasonable action given the circumstances.
