Summary
Brock Rumlow fucked up, bad. As punishment he is reassigned to a new role; handler for one of the Assets. The Assets are little more than machines, shells of men that react only to command words and pain, he is told.
Being a handler is little more than a slow death sentence, Brock knows that. Being a handler to the Winter Soldier is a somewhat quicker sentence. The Soldier goes through his handlers swiftly and if Brock is going to survive this assignment, and he intends to survive it, then he needs to do this differently.

Summary
When a government incentive leads two perfect strangers into a contractual marriage of convenience, they both get more than they bargained for. Botan needed the money; Hiei needed the status. Falling in love was never a part of the plan, but the longer they keep pretending, the harder it is to separate the truth from all their lies.

Summary
Six months after the Avengers defeated Thanos, no one is trying to adjust to a post-Blip world more than SHIELD Agent Darcy Lewis. It’s difficult though, what with life as she knew it forever changed and the appearance of an emotional trauma that she’s only kind of, sort of dealing with in therapy. Oh, and there’s the not so small matter of her feelings for one Bucky Barnes. But it’s fine. She’s trying, and as Steve would say, that’s all that matters.
Bucky, meanwhile, is dealing with his own complicated trauma and just trying to find his place—and purpose—in the world for the first time in 90 years. He’s also trying to navigate a life without Steve, deal with Sam’s steadfast yet irritating presence, and the fact that the woman he’s in love with doesn’t feel the same way. It’s a lot for a 106 year old, but he’s trying.
They have no choice, however, but to confront their trauma—and unsaid feelings—head on as they work with Sam to once again save the world. And, perhaps somewhere along the way, they’ll both learn that the ending of the life they knew isn’t such a bad thing. That it's really only the beginning of a new one.

Summary
Bucky Barnes doesn't know what to make of being jilted by his best friend for a legend who, by all means and purposes, had moved on with a vengeance-
He also doesn't know how to rebuild a team that is broken beyond belief-
Oh, and he has absolutely no fucking idea how to cope with the woman who keeps on complimenting his ass.
Good thing Bucky's best friend is back from the past to meddle with his future.
