[PODFIC] As Good a Place as Any by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, Captain America (Movies)
12 Feb 2019

Summary
"It was a retreat," Steve goes on more calmly, then has to swallow against something a little too close to nausea lodged in his throat. "They put—they brought me there to help me get my head on straight. Their psychiatrists were sure it'd help me to get away from everyone. And, and they showed me how to set up video calls. If I wanted. It wasn't a prison."
"Video calls," Bucky says flatly. He stares at Steve so long that Steve has to force himself not to avert his gaze. Bucky's eyes are huge and horrified, and he pushes his fingers through his hair again, then leaves them linked on the back of his head. "Stevie," he says, and his voice cracks. "Stevie, don't you even know what they did to you?"

[Podfic] Impossible Odds and Untold Hardship by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America (Movies), Marvel
27 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
"I understand," Steve says, sadly. "Really, I do. It's your birthday, of course you should be able to do what you want, even if that's nothing." He sighs even more gustily. "You have every right to lie there like a big lump and sleep the day away. And completely ignore your boyfriend, who loves you more than anything—"
"Not enough to let me sleep in, apparently," Bucky says.

[PODFIC] An Everyday Kindness by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, Captain America (Movies)
12 Jan 2019

Summary
"What is that?" Bucky asks softly.
"Snow," Steve says. The word lodges in his throat, making him cough. "It was…" He swallows. "That's what I saw when the Valkyrie was going down." He's trembling. He clasps his hands on the desk to keep them still.
"You said you got the white for me. Because of the train." Bucky sounds puzzled.
Without the drawing in his immediate line of sight Steve's able to wrench his eyes towards the window, then flinches when he sees the snow covering everything. It's New York, he thinks. It's New York and you're inside and warm and you're not frozen and you're not going to die. "It was. Just, not all of it. I'm sorry. I didn't—"
Bucky's incredulous snort cuts him off. "Are you apologizing for the train not being your biggest fucking trauma for once?"

[PODFIC] A Precarious, Fragile Thing by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel (Movies), Captain America (Movies)
11 Mar 2018

Summary
"I didn't know he did that," Tony said. He knew Bucky liked tucking himself so far under Steve's arm that it was like he was trying to climb into his armpit. But he'd always stayed upright, just kind of plastering himself against Steve's side. This blanket thing was new.
"Seventy years of skin hunger," Steve said. His voice was just as soft, but for a moment his eyes flickered hot with anger, bright as the candy-colored screen. "He was always tactile. Now, when things get…well, sometimes it helps. The contact."
And it looked…nice, the two of them together like that: Comfortable. Familiar. Safe. Tony knew what a precarious, fragile thing it was, to feel safe in the middle of the night.

[PODFIC] Lonely Dragons by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, Marvel (Movies), Captain America (Movies)
19 Feb 2018

Summary
Bucky was sitting in the corner where the railing met the building, cross-legged and hunched and of course in the ridiculous moose hoodie plus a quilt around his shoulders. It was the quilt Tony had ordered with vintage Howling Commandos and SSR symbols all over it—score—but the overall effect of Bucky sitting alone and all bundled up like that was just tragic. And adorable. But mostly tragic.
"You look incredibly tragic out here all by yourself like this. Just saying." Tony decided he wasn't going to have to holler for help or call one of his suits, so he fully committed to stepping out onto the balcony. It was, as he'd surmised, fucking cold. Maybe less so if one was wrapped in an awesome quilt and a ridiculous moose hoodie, but still. Tony tightly folded his arms, wishing he'd had the foresight to grab a hoodie himself—or a quilt—instead of just coming out here in his Sisters of Mercy tee-shirt. "Really, you're like, a lost kitten. A lost kitten with antlers. You do know we can afford light and heat and stuff, right?"

[PODFIC] If Ye Be Worthy (the Stubborn as a Brick Wall Remix) by mintsinthemug

Summary
Bucky didn't even glance up from beating the trembling heavy bag to death. "You're gonna tell me that being turned into the Red Room's assassin and then Hydra's fucking attack dog for seventy-whatever years wasn't my fault and that Tony was talking crap and you can't think of anyone more worthy to hold Mjölnir than me."
"Well, you're right," Steve said, only barely surprised. "So why the hell are you still down here?"
The look Bucky threw him was too resigned for a glare. "Because we both know that's bullshit."

[PODFIC] This Was a Battle by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, Marvel (Movies), Captain America (Movies)
19 Jan 2018

Summary
Bucky thinks he's lost. Natasha finds him.
(Natasha was worried again, afraid for Bucky. It was the weary resignation in his voice, like this was a battle he'd always expected to lose.
She didn't show it, just blinked slowly at him. "You're speaking English now."
He shrugged, but then slumped against the wall, shoving his hands deeper into his hoodie pocket. With his shoulders hunched and his head down she couldn't see his face, but he looked vulnerable and sad and very, very young. "I might lose it again."
"Will you?" she asked, knowing damn well he wasn't talking about the writing. She licked her lips, glancing at the box again and the fist-sized holes in the wall just above her head. "Did you come here to kill yourself, James?" It was difficult to keep her voice calm, but she did. It would do Bucky no good at all to know she was fretting over him, or that they'd all been terrified about what he might do to himself, after what happened.
Bucky shook his head, which was comforting, but he wasn't surprised or even upset that she'd asked. She wished he were. "No. I came here in case I had to.")

[PODFIC] Shapes Supposed to Be Hearts by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel (Movies), Captain America (Movies), Arrow (TV 2012)
06 Jan 2018
Tags
Summary
Oliver Queen and James Buchanan Barnes have a lot in common.
( "He's not actually a veteran," Felicity said at last, then looked up, worried. "But what happened to him…he was a prisoner of war. He'd tell you that's not true, but, from what little he's told me…yeah." She rubbed her nose, then re-clasped her hands and lowered her eyes. "And he was tortured," she went on softly. "For a long time. They trained him to fight. Made him…made him do things." She bit her lip. "Awful, terrible things that no one should do to anybody. But he did. And it…it changes you. When you have to do that."
Sam cleared his throat. "Yes it does." His voice creaked anyway, but it was a little hard to speak normally when his heart was suddenly going like he'd been trying to lap Steve Rogers. "This friend of yours," he went on, trying not to sound eager. "What's his name?" )

[PODFIC] I've Always Been Yours by mintsinthemug
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel (Movies), Captain America (Movies)
01 Jan 2018

Summary
Bucky's in Steve's apartment when he comes home.
(It warms him, though, to think of Bucky using his apartment, that he might feel comfortable there regardless of how he got in. It makes Steve happy to know that Bucky's been able to eat decent food and get clean, hopefully feel safe enough to sleep. And the fact that Bucky went to Steve's apartment, out of all the thousands he could have chosen anywhere in New York City…
Well, Steve doesn't want to think too hard about that part, because he doesn't want to hope.)

Summary
There was an intimacy to this that Steve had never had before. They slept in the same bed sometimes, sharing warmth in the winter, and it was hard to have any kind of privacy in such a tiny apartment. But this felt bigger than that, somehow. Maybe it was the unthinking trust in the way Bucky let Steve move his head, or just the fact that Steve had never combed anyone else's hair, let alone for someone he cared about so much.
