    Summary

    ...being courted by a wolf!shifter is hard.

    When Clint accepts the Game Warden/Shifter Pack Liaison position in Willow’s Run he thinks he'll be signing hunting licenses and maybe writing a few tickets. He doesn't expect to start a brawl on day one, be claimed by the definitely scary Beta!Wolf Bucky on day two and begin what might be the worlds slowest courtship.

    Eventually Clint settles into his new role, strikes up a friendship with precocious scientist!Tony and a careful affair with Bucky. He navigates awkward shifter courtship rituals and misunderstandings, surprising romance and increasingly bitey kisses and for a while, all is well in the mountains.

    But hunting season brings strangers to the town and when increased tension and broken rules bring up old prejudices and new fears, their quiet life turns dangerous.

    Clint has his hands full with aggressive hunters, defensive pack members and a town pushed towards chaos and eventually, something's gotta give... but what if the only solution is Bucky and the wolf pack moving away?

    Summary

    “What’s the plural for a group of Steves?” asks Natasha, and it’s weirdly comforting that the question has a hint of whimsical hysteria to it. Good, Bucky’s not the only one who’s not dealing well with all of this.

    “A clusterfuck,” he says. “A clusterfuck of Steves.”

    Despite how little sense his life has made since he got on a battlefield to fight a bunch of aliens, Bucky's pretty sure he knows exactly what's happened when a much older Steve appears after the mission to return the Infinity Stones: he left Bucky behind to get his much deserved happily ever after in the past. Only then another Steve shows up, and another. And Bucky realizes he still hasn't got any idea what's going on.

    What he does have is a whole lot of Steves, a fraught relationship with his own Steve, and tentative plans to leave. But the more Bucky talks to all these different versions of Steve, the more he begins to wonder if leaving really is what's best for him and his Steve, or if there's a way to make something new out of their long friendship.

    Summary

    Antonio Carbonell Stark is chef and owner of the 'Ristorante Carbonell', a little eatery in the heart of Manhattan that has served as a neutral meeting place for werewolves, witches and vampires for well over a hundred years.

     

    He doesn't tolerate rude human customers, badly behaved supernatural customers, and despite the way Vamp!James Barnes stares at him all red eyed and wanting, Antonio doesn't have any time to be courted by the gorgeous vampire either... ...or does he?

     

    ***
    "Stay right here with me." James murmured. "I won't let nothin' happen t'ya."

    "Signore Barnes." Antonio warned the vampire in his frostiest tone, "If this plan fails, I will cut your fangs from your gorgeous mouth and use them as jewelry, capisci?"

    James only barely quieted the urge to laugh. "You're gorgeous." He set his huge hand a little firmer at Antonio's thigh, fingers spread wide and possessive in a show for the other vampires. "Jus' be good for me, yeah? Jus' for a bit."

    Summary

    “So,” Sam said.

    “I’m not afraid of trains,” Steve said preemptively. “Bad things happen to me everywhere, if I was afraid every time something reminded me I’d be a nervous wreck just going out to get groceries.”

    Sam stopped next to the dining car and gave Steve a long, considering look. “I was gonna ask if we should get coffee, but yeah, let’s talk about this.”

    Steve ducked his head to avoid eye contact. “Bucky’s the one who fell off, and he picked the train. Go intuit feelings about him,” he muttered, pretending to search for their tickets.
