Summary
“I understand that!” John explodes. He slams his palm onto the podium, throat threatening to close up, and then his next words are spilling out before he can stop them, rough and raw and desperate. “I’m only asking for empathy after the death of my husband, as you sit there and reprimand my actions against an accomplice to his murder!”

“It’s mine,” he says, and holds onto the shield, desperately, fervently. Because if he gives it up now, if he surrenders this last thing Lemar believed in, it’ll mean it was all for nothing. It’ll mean Lemar died for nothing.
And John can’t live with that.

Summary
An AU of Falcon and Winter Solder. The hearing for John Walker after the killing of the Flagsmasher terrorist Nico goes a lot differently when people show up in his defence. This story will also be slightly Sam Wilson critical, as that speech he made in the finale was garbage trying to excuse the actions of terrorists.

Summary
John knows he’s not stupid. He knows what this is. He’s seen that look in Bucky’s eyes, the one that says you’re nothing but a body to me. The one that says you’re a way to forget. And John takes it. He takes every insult disguised as a kiss, every shove disguised as affection, every bite disguised as I need you.
Because it’s better than the empty apartment. It’s better than the silence. It’s better than looking at his own face in the mirror and seeing a man who was supposed to be somebody, who was supposed to be good enough.
