    Summary

    Karli crosses her arms again. “Oh yeah? What’s more urgent than the Power Broker? And I swear, if you tell me it’s classified—”

    “Bringing our best friends back home,” says Bucky.

    “Your best—” Karli’s eyes go wide. “What, OG Captain America and…?”

    “Natasha,” finishes Sam. “The Black Widow.”

    “I thought they were dead,” she says. Her face scrunches up into a dubious expression. “Don’t tell me the tabloids are actually right and Steve Rogers has been on the moon.”

    “Not on the moon, no, but they are in outer space, and they probably need an extraction from a sticky situation, or a ride back home,” says Sam. “So we’re taking a little space road trip to go pick ‘em up.”

    On a space road trip to bring Steve and Natasha back home, Sam, Bucky, and Karli start to figure out just what kind of superheroes they want to be, and Sam and Bucky figure out what kind of life they want to build with a family that includes Steve and Natasha again.

    Summary

    “You’re gonna have to come in eventually,” says Sam, then he takes a deep breath and steps away from Barnes, back towards the club. “But it doesn’t have to be now.” Barnes’ eyes widen, and he goes utterly still. “I’ve got some conditions though, if I’m gonna let you go.”

    A year after the helicarriers go down, Sam finds not the Winter Soldier, but Bucky Barnes, who's trying his best to live and not just survive while on the run. Sam finds him and keeps finding him, and eventually, Sam finds himself too.

    An alternate take on canon where Sam and Bucky have been secretly meeting up since after CATWS.

    Summary

    “I won’t laugh.” Bucky straightens out both his back and his expression and scoots closer, knee colliding with Sam’s own. He keeps it there; it feels hot and solid, even through the kevlar. “C’mon, I promise. Just tell me.”

    Sam turns it over in his head for a long moment. Swallows hard. Rubs his palms across his thighs.

    “Okay,” he says, looking away. “Do you believe in ghosts, man?”

    Bucky laughs, the asshole.

    Sam has been haunted all his life. This is the first time he's ever thought of telling anyone about it.

    Summary

    Sam meets Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes on a Thursday night, at a burlesque show, and how it happens is this:

    It's already late, later than he should be out on a weeknight, but the theme of the show was a super hero revue and there was no way he was gonna miss that. It's loud in the venue, which is the back space of what probably used to be a warehouse right near the Gowanus Canal, and Sam's already had a few. He's up at the bar during the break, watching the act. He doesn't hear someone say, "Behind!" so when he steps away from the bar, he smashes right into the guy who'd just done the Captain America routine up on stage, and knocks his drinks to the ground.

    -

    Or, I wanted to see more stories that captured the weirdness and complexity of being queer, in your late 20s, and trying to date in Brooklyn - which is my life - so I wrote one. Takes place in the MCU.

    Summary

    Dana Scully never expected to live forever. With a cancer diagnosis, and a premature expiration date stamped right on her forehead, she'd settle for enough time to throw back a few beers, and maybe do one or two lab experiments. She's a rational person, after all. But when she meets Fox Mulder, her time sensitive life suddenly goes off the rails. As Mulder digs up her secret past, and the events leading up to her cancer diagnosis, he becomes convinced that maybe not all is as it seems. Fighting against the clock for answers, cures, and capital T Truth, college life turns into government conspiracies, aliens, and things that lurk in the dark. Scully's never believed in monsters, but sometimes knowledge isn't infallible, and even the most hardened truths can be fickle.
