    Summary

    A broken, disillusioned Steve Rogers is afflicted by a delusion that the mysterious assassin who nearly killed him is actually his best friend, who died 70 years ago. SHIELD wants to lock him up and return him to being a perfect, sparkling nationalist symbol as quickly as possible. Sam Wilson, who has wrestled with his own disillusionment and his own ghosts, knows that Steve needs compassion and the support of a true friend, not a forced regime of recovery that takes away what is left of his shattered autonomy.

    Meanwhile, as Natasha tries to track down the Winter Soldier, her discoveries get more and more disturbing. She uncovers footage of the Soldier being subjected to, and forced to commit, horrific acts to maintain Hydra's cruel hierarchy. What's more, his resemblance to Steve's dead friend is too close to be coincidence. Sam and Natasha grow determined to stop the Soldier from being recaptured by his abusers, but how will Steve react when he learns the true extent of the Soldier's torture, and the true horror of what he was twisted into?

    Is the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes? Or is he something wearing Bucky Barnes's face?

    Which of those things is worse?

    Summary

    "I thought you'd be a better kisser."

    Cooper glared as he couldn't bring himself to give a fuck about her feelings. She'd as good as ignored his so far. "Pardon?"

    "Just -- the kiss. Didn't really..." Lucy narrowed her eyes at him. "I grew up watching your movies. My dad is a big fan. I always figured you'd be a good kisser, but you aren't."

    (Pre-Fallout AU where Lucy stars opposite Cooper as a nepotism-appointed movie star.)

    Summary

    Occtis had learned, that he didn't much care for the taste of blood.

    On a surface level, it still deeply repulses him. The heavy tang of metal in his mouth, viscous and congealed as it sticks to his gums, seeps between his teeth.

    Like this, however, he hardly even notices. Blood becomes a different kind of trivial necessity, something which he himself no longer has, and thus, simply has to get from somewhere else.

    From someone else.

While it is navigating what that means in the following days, it discovers something it never would have guessed about Gurathin and Ratthi's past. Of course, it isn't jealous.
