    Summary

    Lucy Carlisle is a Jumper, someone with nearly limitless teleportation abilities. She had lived most of her teenage years on the run, until the Paladins finally caught up with her.

    In the chaos of the fight, her abilities mutate and she Jumps not through space, but dimensions, to a reality where super heroes are an actual thing, and Jumpers and Paladins don’t exist. She lands in a filthy back alley in D.C., right into the path of the Winter Soldier immediately post the Fall of SHIELD.

    Lucy is pretty sure he kidnapped her. But, with nothing in her old world to return to, and dangerously curious about her metal-armed captor, she decides she doesn’t really mind that much. A funny way to meet the love of your life, but since when are matters of the heart ever what we expect? Especially with him being a brainwashed, ex-soviet assassin and her being… her.

    ~

    OR: She was like the sun, a white-hot, blazing star burning in the void. He is constantly revolving around her, incapable and unwilling to escape the pull of her gravity. Lucy Carlisle and the Winter Soldier: a dysfunctional-yet-sort-of-perfect duo with the mission to uncover the shattered remains of Bucky Barnes… And kick HYDRA ass along the way.

    Summary

    One day in 2012, Steve Rogers encounters a doppelgänger of himself who says three words that change everything: "Bucky is alive."

    This is a story about friendship that survives war, tragedy, and the devastation of time. It eases into things with a glimpse of two friends growing up together in the 20s and 30s. It then goes DARK (mind the tags). Darkness doesn't last forever, though. It yields to light. COMPLETE. Thanks to Fictitious for beta-reading!

    Summary

    World War II brought all kinds of people together. Bucky Barnes was a sharpshooter with no big plans for himself except to live through the war and reunite with his best friend, Steve Rogers. But he hadn't planned on Nurse Sadie Reid, a stick of dynamite disguised by red lipstick.

    Falling in love in the middle of a war wasn't ideal, but it was the best they had.
