    Summary

    It’s been two years since Bucky was medically discharged from the Army. It’s been two years and three months since he was taken captive as a POW.

    Will Bucky’s PTSD let him live a normal life? If recovery isn’t linear, what about when it feels like a hurricane, when it chews him up and spits him out without a second glance? Bucky feels like he’s getting the hang of this college thing, but what about the man he keeps running into? Why does he feel a connection to him, when he shouldn’t be thinking about dating, not yet, not this soon?

    Wherein Bucky learns that some threads never break, and acceptance can be found if you know where to look.

    Summary

    Orphaned at the collapse of the Soviet Union, American-born but Soviet-raised Bucky Barnes is left to care for his younger sister alone. Left in an increasingly violent and unforgiving country, Bucky turns to a life of crime in order to protect himself and his sister.

    Years later, as Bucky leads increasingly daring drug-selling missions into America he meets Steve Rogers, all-American boy and impossible to resist.

    Neither Steve nor Bucky are what they claim to be. Can they figure each other out before it's too late?

    Summary

    New guys almost always meant trouble for Steve; either coming in fighting-scared and looking for the quickest way to prove they were too tough to take on, in which case they take one look at Steve and figure he was small enough to take on without much risk; or else coming in ready to make a deal with the best protection they could buy with their limited means, in which case any one of the gang leaders they approached was likely to sic him on Steve just for shits and giggles, and maybe a tiny bit of revenge if the new guy got lucky.

    Summary

    In which the Soldier makes a very long journey, the Captain takes on a new role, the Widow pays a visit to an old friend, Iron Man is a hot mess, and the Falcon is very done with everyone.

    __________

    It would be so simple to complete the mission.

    So simple to acquire acceptable clothing – there were entire supply closets full of the medical uniforms – to cover the prosthesis with sterile gloves, blend in with the hospital personnel, wait until the change of guard to enter the Captain’s room. To slit his throat, press the hands over his mouth until his breath ran out, tamper with the intravenous medications, or introduce air into the veins. It had done these things many times before. Deaths in medical centers were easily disguised, and he had been so weak, so heavily damaged when it…

    It pulled him from the river. Why had it pulled him from the river?
