Summary
“…Olivia’s out of town,” Walker says, sounding uncomfortable. “Can I get drunk?”
It sounds like he’s asking for Bucky’s permission to do so, which is weird beyond comprehension, but before Bucky can point out his choice of wording, Walker clarifies.
“Like, am I able to? Is that even a thing anymore? Or does being a super soldier mean I’m condemned to some bitter life of sobriety now? Because that would suck.”
“…Everclear,” Bucky says stiffly after yet a few more seconds of that same awkward silence. It’s starting to feel pretty unbearable. “Two or three bottles, maybe. As fast as you can comfortably drink it before your metabolism catches up.”
“Okay, cool,” Walker says, and the line goes dead with a click.

It starts with John unexpectedly calling Bucky to ask for advice. For reasons that Bucky can't possibly fathom, he answers.

Summary
"I was friends with his son, remember?" Langdon placed a hand on the back of his neck, hanging it there with a sigh. "His dad, Rob, Robert, liked to do um, private tutoring."
Trinity picked up on the intention behind that phrase in a second, a fiberglass splinter dug into her palm that nothing would get out. All he was doing was pressing on the remnants, not even a dot to show for it but a bruised memory all the same.
She felt like she'd been dried out in the sun, and he was only half looking at her, brows sewn together with sinew thread and nerve endings, voice paper rough. "He, he uh.. fuck, you'd think after enough time it would get easier to say, huh?"
I get what you've gone through to get here.
========
Being stuck in an elevator already sucked, Trinity had decided. Throw in Langdon, his inability to just stay still, and her incessant need to know how other people perceive her, and you end up getting much, much more than you bargained for.
Or; Santos and Langdon get stuck in an elevator, and find out they're much more alike than either of them would've liked in experiences with predatory sports coaches.

“But- it is a big deal, that was-”
“It’s fine, really.” Langdon held his arms tighter, knuckled white where he gripped his sleeves.
Javadi frowned, “Are you sure?”
“I am.” Langdon looked around again, sighing and rubbing his brow, “Look, I appreciate the concern, but I really- I can’t risk causing anymore problems right now.”(PLEASE carefully read tags!!!)

Summary
pittsburgh, 1993. jack abbot has been in love with his roommate for long enough that it has stopped feeling like a problem and started feeling like weather.
this is not a story about that changing.
it is a story about a neighborhood hollowing out, a woman named nora who figures him out in the first six months and stays anyway, a war that eats away at him, and gives back a different man, and thirty years of shift changes that are, in their way, the most intimate thing that has ever happened to either of them.
