    Summary

    Steve looks around and Sam suddenly sees what he's seeing. Even though Sam built that damn bookcase Bucky's still got a habit of leaving his books lying around in piles, Virginia Woolf and Murakami and the shitty scifi pulps he still loves all in stacks together, glasses abandoned on top of them. The cats are sprawled out sleepy over an afghan Nat knitted - the only afghan Nat ever knitted, because she picks up skills and drops them depending on who she's being that month - and Sam's Arabic homework is strewn across the coffee table, a coffee mug set down on top of it. Oh. Oh jesus. It's not Bucky that Steve wants, it’s not even just them, it's this, all of this, and how could he not. What they've built, it's goddamn gorgeous.

    You can, he thinks, you could, we’d give you this if you let us, and he doesn’t know how to say it. Doesn’t know what Steve would do if he did.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes loved Steve Rogers. Steve Rogers loved him back. And, yet, this is still a story about love that was, but never got to be.

    I don't even know what to tell you, folks. The tragedy that is Bucky Barnes compels me to write shit like this.

    Summary

    Steve is struck by the posture.

    Bucky sprawled on the couch, each and every time, curling into its soft embrace like a lazy cat, snuggling up to Steve whenever he could, rarely letting his feet even touch the ground. James’s spine is ramrod straight, a good few inches away from the back of the couch, and there’s tension thrumming in every line of his body, the sight so familiar that Steve would never have taken notice of it if not for Bucky.

    It almost sends him to his knees, this concrete reality.

    James looks up.

    The eyes are the same, but the face they’re set in is older, harder, deep slashes carved into its handsome lines. Bucky looked like a boy who’d grow into a man with laugh lines, but when James’s brow furrows, it’s with a frown that threatens at every moment to morph into a scowl. He doesn’t look older than thirty, he never will, but he wears every one of his hundred years in his too-old eyes.

    “James,” Steve chokes out.

    It’s a greeting, but it’s also grief.

    “Steve,” James returns evenly. “Good morning.”

    -
    Steve is condemned to be haunted by men who are still alive.

    Summary

    Steve likes Bucky (duh.) Bucky likes Steve (double-duh.) Sam likes Steve (kinda duh.) Steve likes Sam (who wouldn't?) Bucky likes Sam (wat)

    Sam...likes Bucky? (stop the madness)

    The slowest of slow burns. Occasional angst. Much kissing ensues. Maybe more also ensues.
