Summary
“How old are you?” she asked. “And if you’re going to lie, I prefer you inflate the figure.”
~~~
While she was active duty Nile had given plenty of thought to the kind of good time she wanted to have when she got home. She’d certainly earned a strings-free liaison with an older man who wasn’t going to look after her, baby her, assume he knew what she wanted better than she did, or bring any baggage to the arrangement.
Someone without a heart to break would suit her fine.
Maybe she should have gone to therapy. Instead she hired a French escort with crow’s feet at the corners of his pretty eyes.

Summary
While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.
Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.

Summary
That night on the parapet, Valjean forces Javert to live. Some time later, Javert finds himself returning the favor.
"Do you think," Javert said slowly, in a tone that perhaps meant to mock but trembled with another emotion entirely, "that once you have saved a life, you must also save that man's soul?"
"I know nothing of saving souls," Valjean said. "My soul was bought for God, not saved. But it is my belief that you are better than the fate to which you have consigned yourself."

Summary
Izzy's just so buttoned-up, how is Lucius supposed to resist the urge to seduce him?
It doesn't go well.
---
Playing with both the crossover of genre conventions between Stede's universe and Izzy and Ed's original one, but basically doing a deep dive into trauma response and navigating complex relationships between the crew and Izzy when Izzy is forced into a position where he has to share revealing and intimate things about himself. Lots of focus on the aftermath of abuse and trauma, playing with freeze responses and the way the different crewmembers navigate all this.
