Summary
After recovering from his injuries from his fight with the Winter Soldier, Steve moves to a new apartment in Brooklyn. With no regular missions in the foreseeable future, save for any calls from the Avengers strictly for world-ending crises, the only excitement in Steve's lonely bachelor life is his increasingly indecent dreams about a faceless man.
Then he hears about several Hydra bases getting hit by a single assailant around the country…

Summary
Abruptly, Sam wonders how many people have put a friendly hand on Bucky in the last ninety-odd years. How many times did touch like this mean pain and suffering, instead of someone trying to take care of him? And it makes his heart ache, the thought of how much devastation and roughness Bucky’s been through, denied this kind of casual, compassionate touch that Sam doesn’t even think twice about offering.
Experimentally, he pulls his hand back. Bucky makes this low whining noise that makes Sam put his hand back immediately. And then he watches the way Bucky leans into it, eyelids fluttering like he’s almost falling asleep like this. Doesn’t even seem conscious of it, like he’s gone somewhere else in his head while Sam’s patching him up. And it’s – Sam doesn’t know what to think, doesn’t know what to feel. Because this is Bucky, and he’s showing such terrifying vulnerability, and Sam –
Sam can’t help but wonder if Bucky still expects pain every time someone touches him.
(Five times Sam realizes Bucky is touch-starved, and the one time he really does something about it.)

Summary
But Sam is looking at him with lidded eyes and a soft little smile on his lips. It feels private. Like a smile that’s been saved just for him, out of all the people in the world Sam could smile at like that. Feels like that moment in the bar when their eyes met and it was just the two of them, like the rest of the world fell away and Sam was the only thing that mattered. And it’s – Bucky should be terrified. Probably is terrified, if he stops and thinks about it. But it’s just Sam. Just the person Bucky cares about most in the world.
Sam’s gaze flickers down. It takes Bucky a second to realize – oh, he’s staring at my lips – and then a dizzying rush of heat floods through him. Makes him feel alive in a way he hasn’t felt in so long. Makes him want to lean in, to see what Sam tastes like, how soft his lips are. Wants to see what noise he’d make if Bucky just - just surprised him and leaned forward and –
He’s leaning forward. Closing the distance between them. So slowly, achingly slowly, but it’s –
He can’t. He just –
Can’t.
(Not yet, at least. Not until he works up the courage. But he tells himself that for now it's enough, just being next to him, just being his friend.)

Summary
“Peter.” Sam interrupts. He looks… baffled. “Bucky and I didn’t break up.”
“Oh, that’s a relief, because you two make such a cute—”
“Because we were never together.”
OR: 5 times a member of the team thought that Sam and Bucky were a thing, and the one time Sam saw it too (and did something about it).

Summary
“–I suppose there aren’t a lot of other options. Would you… do you think…” He bit his lip and smiled, his eyes giving Wylan that hopeful, pleading look he was so desperately good at. And Ghezen, Wylan would do anything for Jesper on a normal day, never mind when he sent that look Wylan’s way.
“You really think people would believe we’re a couple?” Wylan squeaked before he could think of a coherent response. The corner of Jes’s mouth twitched in a smirk.
“Come on, Wy, I know I’m not your usual type, but I can’t be that bad, can I?” He winked and Wylan surely turned even pinker. He bided a long moment to conjure a response by taking a deep pull of the dregs of his coffee. Jesper supposedly not being Wylan’s type was far from the problem.
—
Jesper's behind on rent, but for his bookshop to be featured in a local business magazine, it has to be owned and run by a couple. Wylan's flower shop is just next door.
