    Summary

    Bucky doesn’t think about it at all just after coming off the ice and in the wind.

    First few weeks after the riverbank, it’s all fight-or-flight, anyway. He’s paranoid as hell, putting too much effort into not snapping necks in panic. Don’t kill, it would draw attention, move, vanish. He still waits for orders that no one’s giving, so get the fuck outta here with that, he’s got bigger problems.

    When Steve shows up, as if Bucky can be fixed with some elbow grease, all Bucky feels is a threat, the past coming to collect. He runs, and wants to erase himself the same way Hydra did, doesn’t want to be found, fixed, saved, and the last thing on his mind is someone he’s never actually met.

    He doesn’t notice it in Schkeuditz.

    Tether is most common when folk talk about it, soulmates when they preach abstinence in church. But it’s a distance thing. Eight feet, three inches. Doesn’t sound like fate to Bucky. Sounds like math.

    Summary

    Peter knows what he’s doing is reckless. Dangerous. Stupid, even. But when reports start surfacing of a rogue Alpha tearing through the underworld, something in him can’t stay away.

    James Barnes is feral - unbonded, unmoored, and running on instincts sharp enough to cut bone. Every warning says to keep his distance. Every protective word from Tony and Steve tells Peter to stay home where it’s safe.

    Peter doesn’t listen.

    What begins as a hunt quickly turns into something else: an Omega tangled in the pull of an Alpha who doesn’t understand restraint, and an Alpha who can’t seem to let go once he’s caught a scent. It’s terrifying. It’s overwhelming. It’s wrong in all the ways that make Peter’s pulse race.

    But feral doesn’t mean heartless. And even the Winter Soldier can learn what it means to protect, to hold, to love.

    Summary

    The blur in front of him sharpens.

    It’s human-shaped, that blur. Then face-shaped. Then—oh—hot-face-shaped, with a five-o’clock shadow, long-ish hair, and seriously blue eyes. And, fuck. That jaw.

    Peter… knows that jaw? He also knows the metal arm, although it’s not the one he caught in Germany. It was different when that happened—the first time Peter had worked with Mr. Stark, and also had his first ‘Do I like dick? I might like dick’ revelation. Jesus, it was so long ago, and what a truly fucked-up day to reconnect with a blast from his pubescent sexual confusion.

    Peter attempts to get up, gets very softly pushed back down with a frown, opens his stupid mouth, and, still a lot out of it, lets this slip past his filter:

    “In my defense, I was imagining a robot uprising.”

    Summary

    Bucky’s memory was shit on the best of days, held together by routine, mission objectives, trauma and duct tape. Sometimes, it crapped out on him completely, leaving him to piece together the details of his life from context clues and observation.

    He always thought fortune had a personal vendetta against him, so it was surprising to discover he’d somehow managed to snag the affections of a beautiful man with soft hair and a killer ass. Peter Parker was clearly the best thing to ever stroll into his life, so how the hell had Bucky forgotten him?

    Summary

    For cat-owner Bucky, it’s just another day dodging nosy neighbors and trying to mind his own business, but something about the new guy in 4B feels… off. And it doesn’t help that Alpine keeps climbing into his constantly open window.
