    Summary

    Bucky stares unblinkingly up at the ceiling. Watches the hypnotic shadows of the fan going ‘round and ‘round. “My life, when it gets picked apart – and it gets picked apart a lot nowadays, often to my face – falls into three very tidy chapters. Howling Commando; Winter Soldier; What Came After.

    “Little more to it than that,” Sam acknowledges.

    It’s quiet for a minute while Bucky counts them out, and eventually he comes up with, “Nine. I make nine distinctive eras of my life.”

    Summary

    Granny Rags attempts revenge for Corvo’s interference in the sewers - it doesn't quite go as planned. Corvo likes the fact that his name means ‘crow,’ but that doesn’t mean he ever actually wanted to be one, and for once Daud is (arguably) not responsible for this mess.

    Summary

    'Do you think they'll accept me?' Steve had asked doubtfully, staring down at the flier. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! it bleated at him in sour Hulk green, which he thought demonstrated a serious lack of tact considering it was an advertisement calling for people to work with kids left with PTSD after the Avengers levelled half their home city. 'I mean. I'm the one who caused half the mess.'

    'While defending the earth from aliens,' Natasha pointed out.

    --

    In which Steve joins a support group, realizes rebuilding New York isn’t just a one-man job, and tries to figure out what the hell is going on between him and Bucky.

    Summary

    Bucky goes into ice, and Steve is left to deal with it while trying to find a new purpose in a world where everything seems to be up in the air. First things first; get his friends free again, and proceed from there.

    Bucky goes into ice, knowing that when he wakes up everything will be different. It will have been only a blink for him, but for others it will have been months, maybe even years. Still, there is a truth he knows; you have to save yourself. Others can help, but ultimately you have to be the one to do it.

    He also knows that sometimes what you need to do to save yourself is incompatible with someone else’s needs or wants. Incompatible with their happiness.

    Steve can’t help but think they keep finding each other only to lose each other only to find each other only to lose each other again, all the while circling around what exactly they mean to each other, never quite looking straight at it.

    There is another truth that Steve knows; he can’t take it any longer. The cycle must be stopped.
