    Summary

    Three months after their brief encounter, Draco has almost forgotten about Potter--or so he tells himself. Then a Dark wizard shows up on the Auror radar and all hell breaks loose. Draco will have to choose between everything he holds dear--everything he's worked so hard for--and a few stolen moments of passion with a certain green-eyed Inspector, once his sworn enemy and now something rather different entirely. He'll make the right choice, won't he?

    Who is he kidding? He'll ruin everything, as per usual. Bad choices and the name Malfoy go hand in hand.

    This fic starts after Can't Get You Out of My Head. While it's not crucial for you to have read that one first, it'll probably make a bit more sense if you have. :)

    Summary

    Steve's just moved back to Brooklyn after spending ten years in California trying to make a life for himself as an artist right after high school. Having escaped to the other side of the country following the sudden death of his mother, Steve feels guilty about abruptly leaving all his friends for so long, unfulfilled, scared and nervous about started college at his age, and unbelievably lonely. So when he meets Bucky Barnes, a young sex-worker, at a bar the night before his first day of classes, temptations might be too high to resist.

    One night paying for sex with the most sinfully gorgeous guy is nothing to brag to the papers about, huh?

    S'not like he'll ever see him again anyway...

    ...Right?

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes doesn’t have time for anything impractical, especially gen ed classes that waste his time and distract him from his engineering degree. That’s why he waits until his last semester in college to sign up for a music appreciation class, which is the only thing standing between him and graduation. When his professor walks into the classroom, Bucky’s brain short-circuits. Although he’s sure he’ll never be good enough for someone so suave, intelligent, and successful, that doesn’t stop Bucky from wanting to find out what’s underneath starched button downs and jackets with corduroy elbow patches.

    A decade into his academic career, Steve Rogers is burned out—not because he doesn’t love his job but due to the bone deep, aching loneliness that dogs him during the empty hours after classes and countless faculty meetings. It’s just his luck that a long-haired, one-armed veteran turns up in one of his classes with a scowl, obvious self-esteem issues, and a chip on his shoulder. Although Steve won’t cross the line between student and professor, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t long for something more, especially when Bucky seems to need him as much as Steve wants someone to love.

    Summary

    While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.

    Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.
