Summary
Steve pauses for a moment and suddenly he’s somewhere else. The warmth of the water pressing in around him, the sun shining down and illuminating the den he grew up in. The forests of kelp and the shining scales of his kind.
“I…I want to go home.”
Bucky exhales shakily against the back of his neck, “You don’t mean Brooklyn, do you?”
She rolls over in his arms to look him in the eye, “I mean close to Brooklyn.”
Bucky nods slowly, “Okay. Then that’s what we’ll do. We’ll get you home. I’ll get a place near the shore, visit you every day.”
Steve bites his lip, teeth just barely too sharp, “I want you to come with me.”
Bucky freezes, considering, “...How?”
Steve shrugs, “Magic. Same way I got legs. You’d be…Christ alive, you’d be stunning in scales.”

Summary
“Sometimes I can see the future,” Steve says absently.
He’s more focused on the way the soft sand feels beneath his tail than the words coming out of his mouth. They’re not really important words, after all. It’s just a statement of fact. The sun is hot. The sky is blue. Bucky is his best friend in the whole wide world. He can see the future. Easy. Simple. Though most things are simple when you’re six.

Summary
Steve rolled his eyes, “No. It’s…a smell.”
That got a pause from the rest of them. None of them have the heightened senses that he has – and none of them know just how heightened those senses truly are.
“What does it smell like?” Tony asked after a moment, in a voice that meant he was already double-checking odorless gases and their chemical structures.
“Like…”
The worst day of my life. Loneliness. Death. Winter air. Granite. Celibacy. Suicide. Gunpowder. Funerals. Basic. Times Square. Every day since February 15th, 1945.
“…chemicals.”---

Summary
They called it a silent death. And Steve could see now how apt the descriptor was. His aching limbs flailed desperately, even as his mind knew there was no escape. Water had never felt so heavy. So cold. So lonely.
His head knocked against the ceiling of the jet. No way out. Not this time. This time there was only a metal coffin filled with too many bombs and one heartbroken man. And water. So much icy water. His shield glinted prettily beneath him. Still as red, white, and blue as it had always been. It would outlast him so easily. And that was okay. It was a nice shield. He’d been a nice shield. Right up until he hadn’t been. Right up until Bucky had slipped through his fingers.

Summary
Tony only takes one look at him and is unable to say anything. Because Steve. Oh my god, Steve. "Is this even legal, Rogers?" he asks, a little surprised.
Robocop grimaces and Steve looks a little embarrassed. "In some states?" he says softly and scratches the edge of his jaw as if his beard itches.

Summary
"You look like him," Bucky says. No prompting, no nothing. He just speaks, like this is a thing he does.
"What?" Steve asks. He didn’t really hear it, too stunned by the fact that words were coming out of Bucky’s mouth to understand their meaning.
"You look like him. So did Pierce." His voice is soft, gravelly from disuse. "Is that why they picked you?"
Steve’s heart plunges like an elevator with the cables cut. “Buck, it is me.”
The hard line of Bucky’s mouth softens just a little. “Sure,” he says.- Language:

Summary
“MARRIED?”
“Basically married. Permanently engaged anyway. Weres have their own deal.” Natasha sounds much, much too gleeful about Steve’s rapidly expanding personal hell. “So you better wake your blushing bride and tell him the happy news: that it was an accident and you had no idea what you were doing.”
“I,” Steve says, strangled. “I can’t do that!”
“You can’t?”
“He thought I was proposing! And he accepted!”
“Wow, maybe he’s just as dumb as you are,” Natasha says thoughtfully.
“I can’t just promise him a ring, take him home, drink from him three times in a row and then wake him up the next morning to say oops, just kidding!” Steve casts around, looking at his wreck of an apartment. “I don’t even have any good champagne!”
