    Summary

    Merlin had failed. Despite all his efforts, Arthur had ended up dead in his arms on the shores of Avalon, so close to salvation. Surely, this could not be how their shared destiny was supposed to end? No, it was all Merlin’s fault—he had made all the wrong choices, misinterpreting prophecy after prophecy. If only he could go back and try again, now that he knew better, maybe he could right his wrongs. Maybe he— Oh. Maybe he could go back…

    Ignoring Kilgharrah’s protests about the impossibility of what he aimed to do, Merlin let all his power loose, becoming one with the fabric of the world and the magic he was born of. After following the bond he shared with Arthur through the winding paths of time, he finally emerged a decade into the past, having successfully seized a second chance to get this whole destiny thing right. Unfortunately, he would have to win Arthur’s trust all over again, seeing as Merlin was alone in remembering anything of the future he was hoping to change. Or…was he?

    Summary

    It's unnatural for Omegas and Alphas to lose each other.
    Steve's bones ache for his other half.

    Then he gets a text.

    *****
    The Winter Soldier really was going to stay away from the blond. Steve.
    He had every intention of going off the grid, finishing Hydra off for good, before he turned himself in. He was going to do it all, the right way. Make the right choices.
    But those blue eyes, that heart of Steve's...it belonged to him. Steve belonged to him.
    The Soldier knows it, right down deep in his shattered soul.

    Summary

    [ formerly titled "tremble wolf" : never abandoned i just update slow !! ]

    Steve moves his arms, palms sliding to cup its cheekbones, thumbs brushing over the deep bags under its eyes. His hands are calloused but they are warm and the Asset is far too warm at the moment but it's Steve touching it and would a leper, no matter how infested by sickness, pull themself from God's hands? No.

    or: Steve tracks down the Winter Soldier after the bridge fight, but not in time — he is still wiped and again doesn’t remember him. SHIELD (in an operation spearheaded by Steve) captures him, and amidst Bucky’s drug withdrawals and trauma responses, try to rehabilitate him. Considering himself an it, a machine and nothing more, Steve tries to have a decimated Bucky remember who he is.

    Summary

    Bucky woke up with a headache, a mouth that tasted like something had died in it, and hands-down, swear-to-god, the most beautiful man he had ever seen asleep in his lap.

    Bucky was also, he realized after a moment, strapped down to a hospital bed with about six different monitors making unsynced, equally piercing, beeps. Beyond that he couldn’t quite see—there was a hideous floral curtain pulled around the bed, and while he could just make out figures moving in the room beyond it, the pattern made his head pound even worse the longer he looked at it.

    So. That was concerning.
