Summary
“So,” Maelle starts, sidling up to him at the fire. “How long have you been alive?”
He snaps another stick into two and throws it into the fire. They both watch as brown leaves and bark curl and blacken, disappearing into wisps of smoke. “Would you believe me if I said I lost count?”
She narrows her eyes at him. “No,” she ventures, “but I can do the math myself.”
—
Verso knows Maelle is in the Canvas before Clea ever tells him. A story about the lengths a brother will go for his sister, and the ways in which she might change him along the way.

Summary
In the distance, a huge, blue tree stands sentinel. His saving grace. He spares another desperate glance behind him, to his sides.
Nobody else is here.
He ignores the way his heart sinks back to the ground. His arm whirs, pushing water droplets out through the cracks and metal casing.
Regroup at the indigo tree, his headless commander chants in his head, and Gustave reluctantly obeys.

Summary
Post-Chikhai Bardo. Mark Scout tries meditation as a less intense form of reintegration.
It works surprisingly well, much to Reghabi’s dismay.

Summary
“This is Lucky,” Clint said when a dog got between him and Natasha. Lucky’s vest was bright, like desert mornings and night explosions.
“Does he help?” Natasha asked.
Clint pressed his hands flat on the counter behind him. “He saved my life.”
Natasha looked at Steve, her expression fierce. Steve resisted the urge to yank down his sleeves. Instead, he dug his nails into the puckered skin on his forearms.
AKA
An AU in which Steve is a veteran just trying to survive (or not).Bookmarked by lifebites

Bookmarker's Notes
“It didn’t feel like standing up, but it felt like rolling over and starting to think about it.”
heartbreakingly sweet

Summary
It takes approximately thirty five minutes to burn down a building. That's a lot less than expected.
Or, Bucky and Clint can't agree on who is the better shot and the only way to find out involves duels, flare guns and stolen (borrowed) kayaks.
Steve is just here for the youtube footage.

Summary
“I’m not Renoir,” the stranger croaked.
“No, no. I know. I’ve seen photos in the archives. You’re too young. But he had lieutenants. All the early expeditions did. Kay, Simon, Minot… and his son.”
Outside the cave, a strange bird trilled. Sunlight striped the stone floor.

Julie's been gone longer than she was ever there, but don't worry: Verso will remember.
