    Summary

    When he looks up, there’s a man standing before him. A man with deep brown eyes, a sharp jaw covered in facial hair, and a crown perched atop dark, unruly hair.

    “Rise, Sir Barnes.”

    Bucky was barely sixteen when they took him from home, put steel in his hand, and told him he was a soldier. He’s twenty-nine now, and after over a decade of fighting someone else’s wars, he has no loyalty left to give this kingdom—left it in the snow along with his limb—until he’s knighted by the Merchant of Death.

    Summary

    Peter’s used to life delighting in messing him over with secret depths and hidden bullshit, making his other superpower terminal misjudgment. Everybody’s hiding something. That’s Humanity 101. It’s not paranoid to expect a personality trait or two at odds with their brand. People are complicated. Not one-dimensional. People contain multitudes, Parker. If only Peter didn’t keep forgetting that.

    But this is Cap. As in, the Cap. Captain America. Steve Rogers. Who, at most, should be doing a decent thing and packing basic-level secrets, and not—

    Which is why this is… oh.

    Summary

    Peter forces a smile, but he can still hear it:

    ‘No, no, no, please, not him, not him, c’mon—’

    He looks at Bucky and is instantly hit with the old Bucky face. Full block, expressionless wilderness, a six-lane blacktop of good luck guessing what’s going on back here. Miles of unreadable. The expression Bucky rocked for at least a year, when Peter was shiny and new to this, before all the smirks and smiles crept in, and before he was allowed to guess out loud what was behind them.

    “You got to me fast,” Peter says, echoing Tony’s words, tone a touch flat. Trying to make it fact, not feeling, seems to be working. If Peter was to make this feeling, he doesn’t think he could deal. At all. Fact is safe. Fact is extremely not a feeling.

    Bucky gives him a clipped nod.

    “You got to me very fast.” Peter’s own addition this time. He’d seen the video. It was very. Very.

    Retrospect: noun, the act of looking back and going 'oh fuck, that's what that was'.

    Summary

    Bucky doesn’t think about it at all just after coming off the ice and in the wind.

    First few weeks after the riverbank, it’s all fight-or-flight, anyway. He’s paranoid as hell, putting too much effort into not snapping necks in panic. Don’t kill, it would draw attention, move, vanish. He still waits for orders that no one’s giving, so get the fuck outta here with that, he’s got bigger problems.

    When Steve shows up, as if Bucky can be fixed with some elbow grease, all Bucky feels is a threat, the past coming to collect. He runs, and wants to erase himself the same way Hydra did, doesn’t want to be found, fixed, saved, and the last thing on his mind is someone he’s never actually met.

    He doesn’t notice it in Schkeuditz.

    Tether is most common when folk talk about it, soulmates when they preach abstinence in church. But it’s a distance thing. Eight feet, three inches. Doesn’t sound like fate to Bucky. Sounds like math.

    Summary

    Fuck.

    Jon's been saying that in his head for the last hour. Might've muttered it once or twice under his breath, too, though it's hard to tell since the inside of his skull feels like a yard of wet wool (heavy, tangled, and about as useful as tits on a breastplate).

    Any man who stands in a smoke-stinking hut north of the Wall, arguing with his own shadow about asking another man for a favor like this, has already ridden past mad. The rest is just details.

    Jon has a favor to ask. It's nothing. For Tormund. The problem is that Jon's not entirely sure it is nothing for Jon.

    Summary

    Every year he spends up here, the ache spreads further, but by the time the Castle Black lift creaks its way up—first of many, with the next one hopefully coming at Eastwatch—Tony still hasn’t croaked, marked off over three years as Lord Commander, making it five since the exile. The King Beyond the Wall turned out to be real enough to start his own filthy little kingdom at Hardhome, but tonight’s Tony not thinking about problems, expecting good news.

    Game of Thrones AU for Marvel Trumps Hate 2024. Tony is the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and meets wildling Bucky beyond the Wall. Every chapter includes art by MassiveSpaceWren.

    Summary

    “Will you be collecting him today, Mr. Stark?”

    Tony opens his mouth. Closes it. The truth is, he didn’t think that far ahead.

    Didn’t think any of this through, really, which isn’t like him. He drove here in his sleek two-seater Audi, didn’t tell anyone what he was up to, didn’t honestly know what the fuck he was up to himself, and didn’t organize SI’s prep team that includes a transition consultant with a soothing voice.

    He just kind of... showed up. Bought a person. Forgot to plan for the part where you actually take your human purchase home.

    Modern Slavery, MCU-adjacent AU dystopia for MTH 2024.

    Summary

    Bucky can’t help it, is all.

    It’s not like he's in control of this.

    He just… drops in when it’s already happening, on his knees, or inside him, and Tony’s whimpering, snowflake this, snowflake that, “Snowflake, please, come on, missed you, need you,” like that name means anything to Bucky and not just to the stranger Bucky shares a body with.

    Summary

    It’s nerves, okay? Nerves, and Peter’s catastrophically confused and possibly in love with everyone in a ten-foot radius, and he’s been sorta just dying to have someone to be in love with, even if it’s not mutual, and this was forced onto him. Forced, you hear him?

    (Alright, shit, seriously—calm down, Parker. You are not in love, you demented drama queen. You are just panicking.)

    Peter is undercover as a flight attendant, Bucky is posing as a pilot, and Tony’s just another passenger. They have a plan. Multiple plans, actually. Except... when does anything ever go according to plan? And later, once his blood remembers how to circulate and his dick stops doing most of the thinking, Peter will retroactively name this Plan F.

    F for Flirt.

    F for Fuck.

    F for Fully unprepared for this, but… kinda into it, you have no idea.

    Summary

    The blur in front of him sharpens.

    It’s human-shaped, that blur. Then face-shaped. Then—oh—hot-face-shaped, with a five-o’clock shadow, long-ish hair, and seriously blue eyes. And, fuck. That jaw.

    Peter… knows that jaw? He also knows the metal arm, although it’s not the one he caught in Germany. It was different when that happened—the first time Peter had worked with Mr. Stark, and also had his first ‘Do I like dick? I might like dick’ revelation. Jesus, it was so long ago, and what a truly fucked-up day to reconnect with a blast from his pubescent sexual confusion.

    Peter attempts to get up, gets very softly pushed back down with a frown, opens his stupid mouth, and, still a lot out of it, lets this slip past his filter:

    “In my defense, I was imagining a robot uprising.”

    Summary

    Barnes flinches away.

    “Don’t,” he says and looks at Tony with the most peculiar expression, which lasts a good ten seconds before Barnes—who is still, and Tony cannot stress this enough, bleeding out—finally speaks again. “So, about ‘em holsters?”

    Tony inhales deeply through his nose.

    Right. Right. Prioritizing tactical storage solutions over possibly not gaping, but a hole in his abdomen is—

    The man just wants more pockets.

    Canon-compliant(ish) 616 comicverse for MTH 2024. Tony runs SHIELD. Bucky has the shield. It’s fine. Everything’s fine.

    Summary

    Bucky, who once again looks exactly as tired as Peter feels, bends to pick up the cat, which, betrayal of betrayals, does not hiss at him, and gently leaves it behind the door before closing it. Then, with the most exhausted sigh Peter has ever heard in his entire miserable, disaster of a life, Bucky asks:

    “What the fuck do you want from me? What the hell do I need to do for you to stop?”

    That’s a good question. Two very good questions.

    But Peter’s throat is tight, and he can’t possibly answer one without the answer to the second one contradicting it, so instead of speaking, he steps forward, away from that window. Comes right up to Bucky, smells the leather and maybe smoke and man, and does something he should probably think through for longer than five whole seconds.

    It’s a compulsion. A disease. An absolutely humiliating, clawing need to be liked by him, and Peter isn’t one to speak ill of people, but Bucky can be a real, capital-D Dick.

    Summary

    He sleeps right through the apocalypse.

    When he finally wakes up, the Earth's already gone to shit and finished its smoke break. There's more sand in the air than ash, static on every frequency that’s been drilled into him, and too much sun all around.

    The first thing the Asset does after crawling out of the collapsed bunker is put a bullet through a rat the size of a toddler trying to chew his boot off. The first thing Bucky does, though that happens much later, is laugh. It’s real fucking ironic to be standing in a sea of burning sand after centuries in his deep-freeze deluxe and still be cold.

    Hell of a welcome back.

    It’s simple. The world ended. He didn’t.

    Summary

    The last thing Bucky remembers is the lounge, that mouthwatering scent, and then everything going straight to shit with no pit stops.

    He rolls over, coming face to face with a bunch of blankets. They aren’t soft anymore. They aren’t clean. And they sure as hell don’t smell like anything close to heaven now. They reek of sweat, filth, and something vaguely burnt—the fuck? Must’ve been his self-respect torching itself and going up in flames.

    His head is pounding, his heart is pounding, his den’s a war zone, the bed broken. His goddamn mattress looks molested. Jesus. What the fuck was that?

    In Bucky’s defense, the compound’s a revolving door, and he barely recognizes half the faces most of the time, let alone pays attention to memos that pop up on his phone.

    Summary

    “What were you thinking about just now?”

    Tony stills. Not in a bad way. But—stills.

    Maybe Peter shouldn’t have asked. Should’ve just taken what he was given, should’ve just shut the fuck up and not pushed. Because what if—what if every time Tony drops him off, every time Peter is about to leave, Tony is just… not sure how to tell him that this thing they have—this hanging out thing—needs to scale down?

    Summary

    It's not that Peter doesn’t want to live in Avengers Tower—maybe actually doesn't?—but he fully expected the ultimate loser room. You know, the one next to the boiler or whatever. Where they stick the new guy. That's where he figured he was headed. One of those glorified closets with a view of a wall.

    Not Tony's floor. Please. No.

    Summary

    Peter pushes Bucky away.

    Except “pushes” might not be the right word. “Shoves” is too polite. “Yeets” feels closer, but “catapults” is probably the most accurate. He uses just a little too much strength, and Bucky goes flying. Very flying. Horizontally too. Feet off the ground, airborne, and lands back-first into the murder clown that’s still skittering around.

    There’s a sickening thud, followed by the sound of Bucky grunting, and Peter—who is two seconds away from dying of a possible heart attack, there it is—webs the fuck out of there. To the voice of Bucky screaming into the comms, “What the hell, Queens?!” some nasty cackling in a background, and a single gunshot.

    In which Sam knows best (don’t tell him, he’ll never shut up about it), Bucky flirts like a malfunctioning toaster on its last spark, everyone and their nosy grandmother refuse to mind their own business, and, yes, at least one clown gets what’s coming to it.
