Summary
John always looked out for his teammates.
It was only natural since the way he grew up.
Unfortunately, that was all it took for the media to think he slept around with all of the New Avengers'.or
just an excuse for me to write John Walker being slutshamed rather publicly

Summary
Former Captain America, asshole-extraordinaire, John Walker has spent his entire life pretending, first as a hero, then as a soldier, and last as a father. But always, always as an Alpha.

....Also, is there something going on with Bob?

Summary
He is going to die here, he can already imagine his obituary. Jonathan F. Walker, who failed as a husband, failed as a father, failed as a soldier, failed as Captain America, failed as being a good man, died in one last failure. He will be remembered for the horrible things he did, for the blood he has on his hands, and for nothing else. No one will mourn him. No one will miss him. The world would be unchanged, maybe even better, if he left.
During a mission, an explosion causes a building to collapse. John Walker is trapped under the rubble.

Summary
John hates fire.
Really, he does.
Most times, if someone noticed his reaction to things, he could chalk it up to war memories and no one would ask him any further.
But really his hate of fire started way back when he was a child.
He can still vividly remember what it smelt like, how his eyes burned, the way his skin peeled.
He remembers it all.
How can’t he? It’s one of his earliest memories.Series

Summary
The mission had gone sideways. John hadn't just fumbled. He'd dropped the whole damn ball, tripped over it, and landed in a pile of self-loathing.
He sat alone at the bar, elbows on the counter, still in his suit. His knuckled were bruised from punching a wall he'll pretends was part of training when asked.

Summary
“S’till early,” Bob murmurs, looking extremely and unfairly endearing in his still-groggy state. His hair is a mess, strands pointing in odd directions, and his cheek still bears the creases of his pillow.
The fucker is adorable, which is exactly how John got into this mess, with this little hitchhiker who thinks jamming a foot into his bladder every ten minutes is hilarious.
“Couldn’t sleep more,” John mutters. “She’s kicking like she’s training to kick all our asses once she’s out.”

Summary
It started as nothing more than physical relief - an outlet for John’s frustration and Bucky’s misplaced anger over Steve and the void he left behind. They both knew what it was. There was no love between them, no promises - just something raw and unspoken. John knew he was being used, but he was willing to go along as long as he could feel needed. But what happens when their unhealthy coping mechanism begins to blur the lines? Can something more grow from the cracks?

Summary
John Walker wasn’t exactly known for his stellar communication abilities. His military training taught him that boys don’t cry, feelings were for sissies, and other similar sentiments. While he understood the value that emotional conversations could hold for others, he just couldn’t do it himself. It wasn’t in his nature. Emotions other than anger were a childish pastime, that he’d rather forget and move past.
This naturally clashed with the family-focused culture that had formed in Avengers Tower. It was so damn sappy all the time that Walker could almost vomit. And perhaps that reaction was something that Yelena would get all preachy about, and would encourage John to “open up” about, but fuck that. Walker was more than happy keeping those feelings to himself.
But it was only a matter of time.
OR
John Walker is completely fine. Until he isn’t.
