The larger man was quietly singing a gentle, although rather off-key, rendition of Over the Rainbow.

Summary
Brooklyn, 1994
Gulf War Vet, Steve Rogers moves into a rundown apartment block in an undesirable part of bustling Brooklyn. Faced with the collateral of his dishonorable discharge in the face of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell act, Steve finds himself drawn to his enigmatic new neighbor, Bucky Barnes. On the surface, Bucky's life looks the picture of glamour: house music, dancing and silk robes.

A story of two native New Yorkers finding love through the wasteland of grief, homophobia and neon lights.

His achy bones and tight muscles melting into the hot, shimmery water. His eyebrows pointed upwards, not down, no such thing as a frown in the bath. Nothing for Bucky to worry about, nothing for him to work out. Nothing but Steve’s gentle touch and the sweet perfume of the honey and milk bubble bath. "
