    Summary

    Maverick dreamt of Goose, most nights. On the ground, still alive; in the air, dying; in the ocean, already dead, pulling Maverick with him as they sank beneath the waves. The pain followed him into his waking hours, like a knife lodged permanently in his chest, but he shoved it down, smiled around it, put on a show for everyone. Even Ice. And even though Maverick ached to tell Ice the truth, to tell him about the nightmares, his grief, everything, he couldn’t make himself do it. He wasn’t brave enough. His time with Charlie had taught him what would happen if he did. / Sequel to Lead Me On (To The Other Side).

    Summary

    Goose talked to him most nights. His choice of conversation was normal — movies he’d seen, music he liked, stories about his wife and son — and sometimes Ice almost forgot that Goose was dead at all.

    Summary

    “When’s the last time someone else stitched you up?” Bucky asked. He was still speaking in that breathy, low tone, like he was afraid something might shatter if he raised his voice.

    “I don’t know,” admitted Sam. “Years, probably.”

    His answer seemed to physically wound Bucky. For a moment, Sam was worried he might cry. Instead, he just lifted his left hand; touched a single finger to the side of the wound. Sam shivered from the cold touch of the metal.

    “Is there anything else I can do?” Bucky said, watching the way Sam’s ribcage rose and fell with each breath. The question, for some reason, made Sam want to slam his head against a wall. He’d heard it often, but in all the wrong places. Never when he needed it. And never like this.

    *

    Sam and Bucky have this thing between them, and it keeps getting stronger, and something is bound to break. If only either of them could bring themselves to acknowledge it.
    OR - yearning, the fic.

    Summary

    The boy was so similar to his Sam, and yet so startlingly different. It was Bucky’s tenth night coming here, but the contrast never ceased to shock him. It wasn’t just the smooth, clean face, without even a hint of stubble, or the flashy, trendy clothes, so unlike the understated, practical style his Sam had preferred. It was something far more fundamental—a lightness in the way the boy carried himself, in the way he laughed, loud and unselfconscious, his gapped teeth flashing under the neon lights. He did not have that weary look that Bucky had become so used to seeing in Sam’s eyes.

    Summary

    “I’ve thought about it before,” he admits, raising a brow. “Starting a family.”

    It’s noteworthy, his neutral response. Jake tilts his head for a second before squeezing Javy’s fingers. “Recently?” he asks.

    “Maybe.”

    “With a handsome aviator?”

    It gets a chuckle. “Once or twice.”
