    Summary

    Dissociative Identity Disorder. Those three words stared at him from the page, almost angry and writhing. Almost like they were something to be afraid of. He’d read the passage about five times, now, and yeah, it was wordy as hell, but… Fuck, it made sense.

    And he wasn’t sure that he liked it.

    It meant that the Winter Soldier was still in there. Maybe not in the same way, but it still… felt like the Soldier. In some way. That was what scared him.

    Summary

    Kamala Khan is totally crushing this superhero gig. Honest. But between disagreements with her friends and family, navigating the socio-political minefield of sophomore year, and being what feels like the strangest girl in Jersey City, she could maybe use some guidance from a trusted adult. It’s just too bad that what she gets instead is Moon Knight.

    Can Ms Marvel ever make it in the superhero big leagues? Will Kamala ever feel like more than a kid playing dress up in boots that seem way too big to fill? Is Marc Spector capable of experiencing the magic of friendship?

    Join Kamala Khan as she discovers the answers to all these questions and more! Some things just have to be lived through.

    Summary

    Jake Lockley loves his job. Like, seriously. He gets to drive fast cars, drink good liquor, and get paid the big bucks. Also, kill people. Objectively awesome stuff. What else could a guy possibly need?

    In which being the only alter with half a brain cell can get pretty boring when you haven't got anyone to share it with. And Jake has never been what anyone would call friend material.

    Meanwhile, Bob Reynolds is...adjusting. Seriously! He is. It's only that being the objectively craziest guy in a group of messed up ex-mercenaries and super soldiers can get kind of lonely, especially when one bad day might spell the end of New York as we know it. Also, there's only so many dishes he can do before he seriously starts to contemplate the merits of re-acquiring a drug habit. (It's not like it could kill him anymore, right? Haha. Kidding.)

    But Bob's doing fine! Honest. He doesn't need a friend. And he definitely doesn't need Jake Lockley.

    Summary

    “Could use some help, again, if you want,” he adds, after a moment, almost hesitant, as if Bucky’s not here for the sole reason of help, like he hasn’t figured out that Bucky’s here for him, like he hasn’t realized this is how Bucky is saying I’m sorry, I want you, I love you.
    And oh what a thought that always is—I love you, still a sentiment so foreign and sweet and too easy, seeping into his skin and twisting along his bones, something he hardly lets himself think about, so much of it he’ll drown in it if he’s not careful.
    “I—yeah,” he says, when he realizes Sam is still watching him, waiting, and it sounds gravely and distracted to his own ears, maybe a little lost. Overwhelmed. He clears his throat, repeats, “Yeah.”

     

    Or,
    Bucky and Sam in Louisiana, fixing a boat and each other, and falling in love.

    Summary

    Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.

    It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?
