    Summary

    Sometimes, Bucky thinks Steve is beyond such emotions, beyond petty humanity. But he’s not beyond this—pleasure burns in fiery blue eyes as he takes Bucky. And he’s not beyond the possessive fervor that lights his touch when his hands slide over Bucky’s face and throat, when his fingers curl into soft hair and press bruises into yielding skin.

    Bucky hasn’t been loved in a very long time, and he’s forgotten how it felt, but he doesn’t think anyone has ever loved him the way Steve loves him.

    Steve loves like his desire could devour worlds. But all he’s got is Bucky; how is one man enough?

    “But you are.”

    Bucky’s not sure if he said that out loud, or if Steve’s in his mind again, a part of Bucky in ways he can’t articulate, can’t even understand.

    “Worlds wouldn’t be enough,” Steve says, lips pressing to Bucky’s, burning like fire. “You are.”


    Bucky’s guardian angel is wreathed in shadows, not light.

    Summary

    The Winter Soldier emerges.

     The operative must be eased from cryostasis as one would ease a child from a nightmare. A low level of lighting is required. Remember! Soothing voices. Previous experience has shown that the operative reacts unfavourably to conflict within the first ten minutes of waking. He is our greatest achievement. Treat him accordingly. Treat him as one of the Kelch eggs. Treat him as you would your ailing grandmother. Treat him as you would your lover. Treat him as you would any volatile substance. Failure to do so is catastrophic. Remember Sasha. - Nasten’ka Petrova.

    Summary

    A tendril touches his cheekbone, pinpoint of cold against his flushed skin. Several eyes open in the dark and take stock of the room, the bloodied sheets, the dead sacrifice, before landing squarely on Ciel. A tremor runs through the shadowy mass, gaze squinting in dark delight as it realizes the half-dressed state Ciel is in.

    It coos, “You look much the same, my lord. Forgive my presumptuousness, but have you grown any taller at all since we saw each other last?”
