Summary
Alfred needs money. He works in an obscure Russian restaurant, lives in a shitty apartment with his ex, and rent is on the rise. He thinks he’s found the perfect gig—Until his side job draws the attention of some of Manhattan’s less savory characters. He grows close to one, a mob boss referred to as the “Old Bear.” Ivan Braginsky may offer protection, and even a way to make quick cash. Then again, he could also prove the least savory of them all.

Summary
Enter a world you can only see in your dreams. When his brother, Matthew, is kidnapped by the Nightmares, Alfred, a Dream Soldier and a defender of good dreams, travels to the Nightmare World. But when he insults the Nightmare Sultan and is defeated, Alfred finds himself prisoner in the hands of Ivan, the Nightmare Warrior that stole his brother. Alfred must find a way to save his brother while trying to escape the dark allure and hidden suffering of his nightmare captor. Warlord Ivan never hurts an innocent, yet a stubborn Dream Soldier like Alfred tries his patience and defies him at every turn. However, Ivan finds himself drawn toward the light of Alfred’s dream powers, an experience he longs to feel but has been denied because of his race. But not all apparitions are ever what they seem. Behind every dream or nightmare there is a hidden meaning and once found it can either soften the nightmare or harden the dream. There has never been such a thing as a union between a sweet dream and a nightmare until now.

Summary
Rumlow actually smiles and crackles “our puppet, like you,” his voice so quiet and the words so distorted that Barnes just barely makes them out. He tells himself that they’re just words, and they’re just words designed to elicit an emotional response. It’s been just two months; there’s nothing HYDRA could have done by now, to make those words true. Right?
A story of how far three people will go to bring Steve Rogers home -- and of how far HYDRA will go to bring home their Winter Soldier.
