Summary
It’s inevitable, the way it goes. He’s my friend, Steve says, and he is, he is, he must be. Sam’s best friend is Steve, and Steve’s best friend is a werewolf, that’s just how Sam’s life works now.
But once he realizes he’s attracted to Bucky and Bucky can tell, everything becomes, like, a thousand percent more difficult to negotiate. Sam’s just trying to live his life, that’s all, and he keeps getting confronted by Bucky Barnes in a soft flannel shirt, sleeves rolled up, hair all soft and shiny. Bucky glances over at him and smirks, and this is really very embarrassing, how Sam can’t hide his attraction even if he keeps a totally straight face.

Summary
Sam can’t help but roll his eyes. Take the boys out of New York but they’re still Brooklyn Catholics, that’s clear enough. Bucky catches the gesture, smirks hard enough Sam can see his eye teeth. It should be dangerous but he’s beautiful, pale and charming and recklessly easy.
“You wanna come in?” Sam asks, ignoring the noise Steve makes, and Bucky’s smile gets wider.
“Yeah,” he says. Steps up close to Sam. “I do.”

Summary
Here’s a thing: it takes Steve five consecutive mornings to work up the courage to talk to Sam Wilson.
The sun on his skin, Jesus Christ. How it burnishes him until he’s glowing, radiant against the early morning sky all luminous pink-lilac, the sweeping white columns of the Jefferson Memorial as backdrop, and Steve starts having all these thoughts about the gods and myths he read about as a kid. The art, the statues, beautiful human gods carved in marble and gilded with gold. He draws Sam, once, from memory, and adds a laurel wreath almost without thinking about it.
(Later, he will find this equal parts mortifying and hilarious.)

Summary
Every month or so, there’s this recurring thought that runs through Sam’s head.
This is your life now.
Which is why, he thinks bleakly, it’s utterly fucking typical that as they’re investigating something weird and probably janky some civilian called in over on Rockaway Beach, Sam looks away one minute and when he looks back, Bucky is a tentacle monster.
“Uh,” Sam says. “Dude. You.”
Bucky - it’s still Bucky, Jesus Christ - waves a tentacle.

Summary
Really, Sam’s just giving Bucky what he wants, that’s all.
“We got the house to ourselves,” Sam murmurs. “Can make as much noise as we want.”
“I mean,” Bucky says with a crooked smile, “that doesn’t really stop us, usually,” and yeah, that is true. Poor Steve, Sam thinks, and immediately gets distracted by how Bucky is looking at him like maybe he just wants to eat Sam right up.

Summary
Sam and Bucky’s house smells intensely of pine balsam, sweet and fragrant, and Steve tracks the scent through to the living room where a tree stands almost to the ceiling. It’s strung with garlands of popcorn and silver paper stars, and Steve has a flash of memory to sitting at a kitchen table with Bucky and Becka, the smell of popcorn and oranges warm in the air. He’s almost immediately distracted, though, by how Sam is lying on the couch, relaxed and easy, with the biggest wolf Steve has ever seen stretched out full-length on top of him.
“Hey, man,” Sam says with a smile. “Good to see you.”
“Nice tree,” Steve says faintly, because Sam are you aware you got a goddamn wolf on top of you seems rude to open with, maybe. Sam laughs.

They never talk about what it is Bucky can do. Just a little magic, but even the smallest of magics needs blood.

Summary
Remembering is like nothing.
It’s like nothing and like everything all at once. He’s two people or three or four, crowded in together against the bone of his skull. Tight in the skin of him. Startling as if he’s coming sudden into himself, coalescing like smoke into the shape of a person.
Finding his way back, that's harder.
