    Summary

    There wasn’t a name for what they were. Never had been and probably never would be.
    They just were.

    The story of Frank and Gerard, then and now.

    Summary

    “I won’t laugh.” Bucky straightens out both his back and his expression and scoots closer, knee colliding with Sam’s own. He keeps it there; it feels hot and solid, even through the kevlar. “C’mon, I promise. Just tell me.”

    Sam turns it over in his head for a long moment. Swallows hard. Rubs his palms across his thighs.

    “Okay,” he says, looking away. “Do you believe in ghosts, man?”

    Bucky laughs, the asshole.

    Sam has been haunted all his life. This is the first time he's ever thought of telling anyone about it.

    Summary

    The Soldier gets his soulmate mark while on a mission in 1978, September 23rd.

    It rips through him like a storm, a bright iridescent burn on his back like a hundred candles igniting at once, searing his skin beneath the leather.

    He drops the rifle and unbuckles the straps that bind him. In the filthy rooftop window, he sees his reflection: his back alight with a pair of wings so beautiful and vivid it's nearly blinding.

    Summary

    It starts in Paris.

     

    “You can’t steal things just because you like them,” Sam tells Bucky, feeling innately that this is a losing battle, and Bucky cocks his head to the side, considers Sam very thoughtfully.

    “Really,” he says. “I’m stealing you, aren’t I?”

    Summary

    James leans his hip against the table, his arms crossed. She can feel his gaze on her, his gold-framed glasses glinting in the candlelight, and she tears her eyes from Regulus, who looks at James with the same admiration that had previously coloured her own face.
    The very sight of her fellow Gryffindor has her choke down the need to cry and scream. She’s envious, yes, she’s accepted as much, but she is also angry at his blatant ignorance of Regulus. How could he sit there, in the light of his love, and not turn to welcome it?
    As heartbroken as she would be, Lily thinks she’d be happy if James were to turn and give the same look he’s giving her now to Regulus, just to see his face light up in the way that only James can manage.

    ---

    Or; Lily likes Regulus, Regulus likes James, James likes Lily. It's less of a problem than expected.
