    "Look, if they catch me," Bucky muttered, "they're either going to kill me or they're going to put me in a box with a little window and—Steve, I can't."

    Yay! for a strong intelligent Bucky. I really like Cesperanza's characterizations of Bucky in all her stories. Steve & Bucky are clever strategists. Natasha & Clint are both good judges of character & true friends.

    Summary

    While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.

    Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.

    Well written, good characterization, great plot. One of best Winter Soldier stories I've read.

    Summary

    They say that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results. Lex had become resigned to this maxim, until a family emergency brought Clark and Conner to him for help, perhaps this time to stay.

    Fantastic reading (and story). Since Shalott is a great writer, it's not surprising that the "voices" of the characters are spot on. Ann_ciudad sounds like Scarlett Johansson so it's like Natasha is narrating the story :). She does an incredible job of reading, there are no hesitations and pacing and inflection are perfect. Bonus; no background noises or annoying music.

    Summary

    Barnes is now glaring at him for some reason. It's somewhat terrifying but also, oddly, a little reassuring— because that's emotion right there, which means there's still somebody behind those eyes. Somebody who seems to think Sam is being a bit slow on the uptake. "Time parameters exceeded. Mission failed."

    "Wait." Sam narrows his eyes. "Is this some kind of... report? Debriefing?"

    "Mission report," confirms Barnes, looking pleased. Well, looking slightly less murderous than before.

    In which various people deal with things they never signed up for, but at the end of the day no one's particularly surprised.

    Funny. Protective Winter Soldier interacts w all Avengers (except Steve, including Sam) while thawing into Bucky. Just as good on re-reads ;)
