Looking For a Place to Fall Apart by dontworrybeehappy

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.
But now, thrown into the chaos of his new life as a member of the so called "New Avengers", he starts to realize that he can't hide what he is forever. Between high-stakes missions, a shifting power dynamic, and domestic shenanigans, John’s secrets begin to unravel beneath his feet.
....Also, is there something going on with Bob?
Or: the one where John Walker is a closeted Omega, finds a team that becomes a family, works on his issues, and maybe, eventually, lets someone love him.

Summary
After the Thunderbolts, John Walker is trying—therapy, fatherhood, co-parenting, and holding together the life he almost lost. He’s oblivious to the fact that half his new team has adopted him as family… and that Bucky Barnes is very much in love with him.
Between Alexei sneaking casseroles, Yelena heckling like a little sister, Ava’s rare but pointed check-ins, Bob drifting in like a storm front and quieting the room just to stand in John’s orbit (because John’s steady hands and warm hugs anchor the Void better than any drug), and Sam trying to play wingman, John slowly learns he’s allowed to want things for himself.
Bucky just hopes he notices before the whole world figures it out first.
It turns out love isn’t a mission, and family isn’t a unit—it’s a branch that grows, if you let it.

Summary
Part 1 — Second Chance, First Choice
A glitch in time punts John back to the morning before the serum. This time he saves Lemar, learns that “boring is merciful,” and quietly hands the shield to Sam—claiming U.S.Agent and a kinder way to be a hero.Part 2 — The Safety Net Clause
Thunderbolts, but with guardrails. John joins on his terms—nonlethal-first rules, lanes for civilians, Sentry kept steady—and outsmarts Val while running city-scale saves. By the end, the world hears it: “Captain America stands with U.S.Agent.”Series

Summary
What if a temporal hiccup meant Steve Rogers completely botched his trip back in time and landed smack-dab in the middle of the newly formed Thunderbolts? A group of dysfunctional "heroes" with more baggage than a lost-and-found convention.
For John Walker, it's the greatest day of his life. A lifelong fanboy, he's now on a team with his idol, Captain America, and Bucky Barnes, the one guy who’s been giving him the cold shoulder since forever. But John's hero worship is more than Bucky can take. Now Bucky has to deal with the guy he thought abandoned him and a puppy-dog soldier who's showering Steve with the admiration Bucky had been so carefully rejecting. It's a possessive, jealousy-fueled nightmare.
Now, with missions to run and way too many feelings to unpack, the trio finds themselves in the most awkward love triangle in superhero history.
Their solution? To somehow convince a completely oblivious John Walker that two of the world’s most complicated ex-soldiers are clumsily trying to court him. It's all a disaster, but hey, at least they're in it together.

Summary
John Walker. A Thunderbolt. He signed up for missions, asset retrieval, and maybe the occasional fight club. What John didn't sign up for was being a Guide.
And frankly, he don't want to be one. But his new teammates, James Barnes and Bob, are a problem. Bucky has a serious attitude and a metal arm that could use a chill pill. And Bob… well, he’s Bob.
He tried to keep things professional, but they don't do rules. John official job is about missions. But now his side hustle is trying not to get entangled by a guy with angry issues and other guys who was…let's called it…roommates...in his mind.
Ridiculous.

There was nothing John wanted to do except to apologize to Bob as soon as possible.

Summary
After the events of Thunderbolts, John Walker is back on a team, in the public eye—but he’s not the same man who chased glory behind a shield. John struggles to hold together a life that never truly belonged to him.
Haunted by the parts of his past no one saw— secret violence, abuse under command, the silent price of being "the good soldier"— he begins journaling on Ava’s suggestion. What starts as a survival mechanism slowly unravels the truths he’s buried for years.
Among a team that masks its own trauma with bravado, sarcasm, and poorly cooked meals, John is forced into reluctant vulnerability in multiple scenarios. From his relationship with Bob to his obsessive need to cut, he needs to learn to break out of the abuse.

Summary
“You…want us to guess his middle name, and all you’re giving us is that it starts with an F?” Bob clarified.
Bucky only nodded in confirmation and couldn’t help the small smirk that grew on his face. “Even better, you can’t ask him either. He can’t know.”
“Deal.”
~ OR ~
The Thunderbolts/New Avengers attempt to guess Walker's middle name, and... yeah.
