Summary
Valarie O’Connell never asked to be extraordinary. Growing up alongside Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes on the streets of Brooklyn, she learned that strength wasn’t in muscle or power – it was in heart. But when war tore their world apart, Valarie chose to fight back.
As secrets unravel and Hydra’s shadows stretch into the future, Valarie must decide who she will become: the girl from Brooklyn, the ghost of Hydra’s making, or the woman strong enough to change reality itself.
Because the past always finds you.
And falling through forever… sometimes means finding your way back to the person you never stopped loving. -

Summary
Serena Valente tinha uma vida ótima — como universitária e atleta —, até que uma tragédia em escala global arranca cinco anos inteiros de sua vida. E, quando retorna, descobre que não é como antes. Sozinha, sem perspectivas ou esperanças de um futuro melhor, decidiu que sua melhor opção era se conformar com um emprego medíocre de assistente em um museu em Manhattan. Mas, apesar das tentativas da vida adulta de afogá-la em desesperança, Serena tentava a todo custo manter o bom humor e, bem, seguir em frente.
Isso, é claro, quando seu novo e misterioso vizinho não estava envolvido na equação.
Bucky, e isso era tudo que sabia a respeito dele, morava no apartamento colado ao dela e parecia odiá-la. Para seu crédito, aquele homem parecia odiar quase tudo.
Só que, apesar de desagradável, tinha aprendido a coexistir com ele (ou a ignorá-lo). Mas quando Bucky a salva de um assalto, por algum motivo que lhe fugia a compreensão, Serena se vê sugada em uma espiral de eventos envolvendo forças muito além de seu controle, ao mesmo tempo em que segredos sombrios a respeito de seu vizinho vem à tona. Segredos que podem mudar tudo.Vizinhos que se apaixonam

Summary
Steve’s staring at the back of the headrest in the car that’s taking him towards his doom. He can’t believe this is really happening. He’s trying to tell himself there’s still a fleeting chance of escape when he gets to the Alpha’s apartment but who the hell is he kidding? Steve’s been told all his life that he’s a stubborn idiot, but even he wasn’t quite that stupid. He’s being taken there by two huge enforcers, he’s tiny, and the Alpha’s likely gonna be big as well. Eurgh. No chance of escape. Steve quakes. This whole thing is just disgusting. God, he hopes the Alpha’s not too old.

Summary
The Black Hills. A land warped beyond recognition by magic, scorched by old wars, tainted by the blood of monsters and tyrants. Mothers would tell their children cautionary tales of the creatures and ghosts that prowled the lands, but no story struck fear into the heart of an ordinary civilian more than his. That wretched wasteland was rumoured to be haunted by a sorcerer with lead in his bones and metal stitched into his skin. The people feared him. They whispered his title less like a name and more like a curse: The Winter Soldier.
No one knew where he came from. Unlike his title, he belonged to no country’s army and served no one but himself. He was one of the only talented dual sorcerers on the continent. His reputation painted him as a mysterious and reclusive madman, alone in his stone-walled castle deep within the Black Hills. Some claimed he had hands of steel, others swore he had death carved into his neck. But one, singular detail was constant. Everyone knew the sorcerer had eyes of ice.
But one night, a short, blonde-haired stranger showed up at those cursed castle doors, with nothing but the poorly-sized clothes on his back and a small messenger bag of belongings. And it changed everything.

Summary
Indy had been around superheroes for a while. She thought she knew everything there was to know about managing them, working with them, being friends with them. But when she's put in charge of a new team, she finally meets Bucky. He's cold, distant, suspicious. Indy tries not to let that get to her, but honestly, how are they going to work together when he seems to think she's incapable of the simplest things?
Bucky's never met someone so upfront and relentlessly lighthearted. At first, it's unnerving. But as time goes on and the two grow closer as teammates, as friends... Bucky finds himself more and more confused over the gentle and damnably forgiving nature of the team's tech genius. It doesn't matter that he's a super soldier and she's a desk jockey; she's affecting him without even realizing it. And he thinks it might break him.

Summary
Bucky was on edge… Well, more so than usual.
Slipping back into the role of the Winter Soldier, following Zemo’s Russian commands, attacking those thugs at the bar, and worst of all, standing by as he was essentially sold off for information…
All of these instances and more were really starting to take their toll on his already fragile mental state. He was a lot more shaken up about everything than he cared to let on, and now, his brain was interpreting every little thing as an imminent threat.
Good thing Sam was there to help make him feel safe again.

Summary
Steve accidentally breaks the door and locks himself into a dressing room of a news studio. He's meant to be on stage soon to deliver a statement about the Avengers. He's also broken his phone. His SHIELD liaison is also trapped in the room with him. The guy wasn't even meant to be here, technically, but Fury had an important message.
The guy, Agent Barnes, isn't impressed in the slightest.
Yeah, this isn't how he'd like to be locked in a space with the guy either... he'd always pictured something a little more sensual. Now here he is, desperately trying to get out of the room without causing any more damage to the building... or his pride.

Summary
And that's just how it is for a long time. Sam staring at the Winter Soldier while he drinks Sam's drink and Sam debates whether the man poisoned his burger.
When the straw makes an awful scraping sound at the bottom of the cup, Barnes puts the cup down and stares some more. "You don't..." a squeak erupts and he clears his throat before continuing, "you don't have to be scared of me. I'm not going to hurt you."
Sam snorts. "My broken wing and the shoe print on my chest say otherwise."
Or Sam Wilson's tour around Europe is more eventful than it should be.
5 + 1 Acts of love.
