    Summary

    “Hide that,” he says, forcing the words out past every instinct. “As well as you can, all right? Before morning.”

    Steve stares at him blankly, like he needs a moment to work this out, then swallows once, sharply. "What's your name?" he asks at last—asks as he stands there with the pelt in his hands.

    And oh, he thinks suddenly, what is his name? He can’t speak it, not with this mouth, he can’t sing it into the air like he can in the ocean. He just shakes his head; like his nakedness, it’s something he can't explain. Steve nods, just nods, his eye swelling shut and blood drying on his shirt collar, and says "we’ll figure it out."

     

    (An AU where Bucky is a young selkie who is accidentally called to Steve and ends up staying around to help this poor, wretched kid not die.)

    Summary

    Captain James Barnes, better known as Captain America, heroically sacrificed his own life on March 27th, 1945. This was shortly after the death of his wife, Sergeant Stephanie Rogers.
    Or, at least, that had been the plan.
    Now he's a 21st century man, and he has to balance being a living legend and trying to reconcile to loss of everything he's ever known.

    Summary

    When Peggy made the choice to get into the capsule and try to salvage project rebirth, she had accepted that her life would change. She would be bigger, faster, stronger. She could turn the tide. Make a difference. Stop Hydra and the Nazis from conquering the world.

    She hadn’t realised how much more she could gain.

    A life beyond being the hero the war needed. The love of not one, but two incredible men. A future worth fighting for.

    When Captain Carter rescued him from captivity, Bucky realised that his life was about to change. She was amazing. Fierce, brilliant, madly in love with Steve. And interest in him? Together the three of them could end the war. Find comfort in each other. Be happy once all the darkness was over.

    He hadn’t realised how much he still had to lose.

    His guy. His girl. Their dreams of the future. All faith in humanity.

    Summary

    During a raid on an AIM base, the Avengers find a pair of cryotubes in a basement laboratory. When they release the men inside, they find that they are none other than the Winter Soldiers, the assassins so mysterious that most people in the Intelligence community consider them little more than a ghost story. However, as they learn more about the Soldiers, Sam and Natasha begin to suspect that the Soldiers may not have been operating under their own free will.
    Soldat and Kapitan wake from cryo to new handlers unlike anyone they've encountered before. Captain Wilson and Agent Romanoff seem to have no interest in hurting them, wiping their memories, or sending them on missions. As the Soldiers adapt to this kinder status quo, they must decide how far they are willing to go to protect their new handlers from their old ones.

    Summary

    It’s a very normal morning on a very normal Thursday when Steve Rogers pops into existence on Bucky’s patio.

    With the kind of things Bucky has seen and the life he leads, this wouldn’t usually be cause for concern. Steve gets up to all kinds of shit with the Pym particles these days – something about time travel having inter-dimensional consequences. And since Steve exchanged Grant for Responsibility sometime between lying on army enlistment forms and crashing a plane into the Arctic, he’s running around under the careful watch of Hank Pym and Stephen Strange, doing things Bucky takes care not to ask about.

    But the Steve Rogers that pops into existence on Bucky’s patio is not the right Steve Rogers.

    He’s dressed all in black, for one thing.

    He’s got a metal arm, for another.

    Post-Thanos, Bucky Barnes has happily settled into a life of peace and pining. That's when alternate versions of the best friend he's secretly in love with start showing up.

    Summary

    When Barnes stumbles into a small town in Maine at summer's end, he's been running a long time and doesn't expect to stay. But as weeks pass, he starts wondering whether all this time he hasn't been running away from, but towards something - the kindness of strangers, quiet fields, and a curious, yellow-eyed goshawk.

    Summary

    Steve finds Bucky. Bucky finds Steve. Regaining normality is so much easier in a place where normal is defined by muffled explosions at 3am, stealing clothes from a master assassin, and cooking lessons from an ex-carnie archer.

    Summary

    Steve asks: “How do you move on?”

    Sam’s eyebrows shoot skyward. He whistles air out from pursed lips. “Do you want the therapist answer or the real one?”

    “Surprise me.”

    “The truth is – you don’t get over it,” Sam says, his voice low. “Not when it’s that close to your soul. Not when he’s someone you built yourself up around. Maybe you fall in love again, maybe you don’t. It won’t feel the same. He’ll always be coming up in your peripheral.” As the bus pulls to a stop in front of them, Sam grips his shoulder. “But you still gotta keep living your life. For his memory, yeah. But mostly for yourself.”

    ***

    Steve Rogers learns what it means to be a queer hero in a complicated modern age. He tries to move on from the pull of the past, and his lost loves, but fate rarely lets him catch a break.

    Summary

    “What’s the plural for a group of Steves?” asks Natasha, and it’s weirdly comforting that the question has a hint of whimsical hysteria to it. Good, Bucky’s not the only one who’s not dealing well with all of this.

    “A clusterfuck,” he says. “A clusterfuck of Steves.”

    Despite how little sense his life has made since he got on a battlefield to fight a bunch of aliens, Bucky's pretty sure he knows exactly what's happened when a much older Steve appears after the mission to return the Infinity Stones: he left Bucky behind to get his much deserved happily ever after in the past. Only then another Steve shows up, and another. And Bucky realizes he still hasn't got any idea what's going on.

    What he does have is a whole lot of Steves, a fraught relationship with his own Steve, and tentative plans to leave. But the more Bucky talks to all these different versions of Steve, the more he begins to wonder if leaving really is what's best for him and his Steve, or if there's a way to make something new out of their long friendship.

    Summary

    Summary

    “Barnes, right?” Steve slipped his hands into his pockets as he surveyed his new partner. Tall, built, cropped hair, gloves, cock-sure gait. The archetype.

    Barnes turned slow and returned the once-over, scanning him from head-to-toe. Steve could see the second it clicked in his mind, that this was his new handler in the flesh. And then, he laughed. An incredulous, long-suffering kind of laugh. Like Steve was just another in a series of practical cosmic jokes played on him by the universe.

    “You have got to be kidding me.”

    And Steve decided then and there, he hated James Barnes.

    Summary

    Sleep from my soul began retreating,
    And here you once again appear
    Before me like a vision fleeting,
    A beauty's angel pure and clear.

     

    In ecstasy the heart is beating,
    Old joys for it anew revive;
    Inspired and God-filled, it is greeting
    The fire, and tears, and love alive.

     

    —Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin
