  1. Summary

    She's 33 and single, and mostly okay with that. Sure, sometimes she wishes she had someone to share her meals with, to cuddle with at the end of a long day, to keep her bed warm. But it's the 21st Century - 2019, to be exact - and She's strong, independent, and capable and has a job and friends that she loves, and she'd rather be single than with a man who doesn't get her just for the sake of NOT being single.

    He's 37 and coming off of literally the biggest movie ever made and almost 10 years playing the same picture perfect, too-good-to-be-true superhero. He's happy just to have some time to breathe, with even all the work for the forseeable future just a short drive from his own front door, which is an even shorter drive from all the people he loves most in the world and all the things that make him, him.

    Enter school trips and meddling teenagers and little sisters and years of learning, of lessons that are beautiful and wonderful and sometimes painful but always valuable.

  2. Summary

    All stories are complete and generally unrelated. Some are Puckleberry relationship, others may be only friendship. For the most part, they don't exist in the same universe. The one thing they have in common - they are all one-shots inspired by the random and infinite wisdom of my iPod.

  4. Summary

    This is a collection of pieces about Puck and Rachel and the little family they have built for themselves in New York. They will be posted in the same order that I write them, which means the same order that the ideas occur to me, which really means no order at all.

    Summary

    When Bucky had returned, he hadn't expected to win his daughter back. He hadn't expected to get an arm back. He hadn't expected to be able to build a life for himself, really. Almost a year, an approximate ton of therapy, and a new car later, he thinks he's doing okay. His daughter has earned a scholarship at one of those fancy schools in a sleepy town, and their apartment might be small but it's cosy and warm. He's expecting things will be fine, and they'll settle into a rhythm.

    He's not expecting to meet an All-American Beefcake in the school parking lot, with a frankly obnoxious daughter to boot. Great. Just great.

    Summary

    “It's not a dream, Buck,” he said, a smile forming on his lips when he noticed the hard lines on Bucky's face starting to soften little by little. “It's real.”

    “I'm free,” Bucky breathed after a minute. A little smile slowly curled at the corners of his lips, and he repeated himself. “I'm free.”

    Steve's own smile widened, and he scooted closer to him, reaching out to put a hand on Bucky's. “Yeah, Buck,” he said, voice soft and smile happy. “It's over. You're free.”

    OR – in which progress is made, Alexander Pierce is arrested, and Rebecca Barnes Proctor gets her brother back.

    A sequel to Coming Home.

    Summary

    “Steve, you don't know a damn thing about that guy. The fact that you're even considering keeping him in your house is crazy.”

    “I don't care.” Steve glanced over at the stranger, his face softening when he saw him sinking back into the couch cushions and gripping his backpack so tightly. “Sam, the guy looks like no one's been nice to him for years. How am I supposed to be okay with just sending him off somewhere?”

    Sam sighed heavily and looked heavenward. “I swear to God, if I come by tomorrow and find you dead in your bed, I'm gonna find a way to bring you back to life just to kill you again.”

    OR – in which former army captain, current farmer Steve Rogers finds a bruised and battered and dirty stranger who remembers nothing and doesn't speak in his barn. He takes him in, despite his friends' advice not to, and helps him recover. It's not easy. Especially not when, along the way, feelings get involved.

    Summary

    Steve just wants to wind down, post mission, with the silly cupcake game Clint downloaded onto his stark phone.

    He doesn't know who 'Bucky' is, or why he's texting Steve so aggressively.

    He doesn't mean to answer the phone and argue with the charming voice on the other end.

    He certainly never meant for the arguing to be interpreted as flirting...

    But maybe he should just go with it?

    Maybe Bucky is exactly the leap Steve needs to take, to find his way in the world again.
