    Summary

    “Wait,” Aaron says slowly. “You think Jesus is straight?”

    Daryl frowns. “Ain’t he?”

    For a second Aaron just stares at him. Then something close to horror crosses his face before he ducks his head, laughing under his breath.

    “The hell’s so funny?”

    Aaron looks back up, still grinning, but softer somehow. “You really don’t know,” he says, almost to himself.

    Daryl’s irritation spikes immediately. “Know what?”

    Daryl develops a tiny little big fat crush on Jesus and proceeds to be real dumb about it.

    Summary

    “Uhm, yes, you installed my home security system a couple of months ago. But the front door code isn’t working.”

    “My apologies sir! Can you give me your name and address? I will pull up your file and get this fixed as quickly as possible.”

    “Oh sure, sorry. This is Shane Hollander, my address is 239 Kodiak Way.”

    Ilya almost fell out of his chair in his haste to grab a pen, knocking over the IHeartLoons mug that held an assortment of pens and pencils. Blyat! Svetlana gave a quizzical look. On the other end of the phone line, Shane asked “Is everything okay?”

    With his most nonchalant voice, Ilya replied “Oh yes, my co-worker just dropped some supplies. It is all fine.” As Svetlana glared at him, Ilya silently mouthed "It is SHANE HOLLANDER" but she couldn’t understand him. She walked over to look at the computer screen and saw the name on the file that he just brought up. Wiggling her eyebrows, she started puckering her lips, making kissing noises and hugging herself in a fake embrace. Ilya swatted at her as he tried to remember how to operate a keyboard.

    or Ilya owns a security company and Shane is locked out of his house.

    Summary

    Stiles thought it would be easy doing janitorial work for an office. At first, it really was. The job only took a few hours in the evenings and it helped pay for rent and college. Sure, Hale Industries took up an entire floor in one of the downtown financial buildings, but the place was new and easy to care for. He didn’t even have to spend much time cleaning the huge corner office, because the trash was nearly always empty and the office itself was spotless, like no one used it.

    It was basically the perfect college job. At least, until the boss started staying late.

    Summary

    “What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?” Clint says, instead.

     

    Barnes snorts. “Having a drink,” he says, then gives Clint another one of those appraising looks. “You a professional?” he says, after a second, and Clint is momentarily confused.

     

    A professional what?

     

    And then he realizes Barnes must be talking about pool, and Clint huffs a laugh. “Only when there’s money involved,” he says, smirking, and Barnes kind of nods, like that makes any sort of sense.

     

    Then Barnes nods again, a little more firmly, and says “You got a place?”

     

    Which is about the point that Clint realizes that he’s not meeting the Winter Soldier in a bar, he’s being picked up by the Winter Soldier in a bar and-

     

    “Yeah,” he croaks, clears his throat, thinks wildly that he’s really fucking glad Kate has Lucky for a few days, and says “Yeah, I got a place.”

     

    Or, how Bucky got his groove back.

    (And Clint too, but it was a different sort of groove)
