    Summary

    Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man.

    To break him, you must first shatter his body—again and again and again. Then, you take his mind, his will, his name. You strip him down to something unrecognisable, reshape him into something he was never meant to be. Survival is its own kind of cruelty, and some wounds don’t heal. Some don’t even scar.

    Because war doesn’t just take—it remakes. It chews men up and spits them out as something else: hollowed out, stitched haphazardly, and left to stumble forward. No side is ever truly victorious, not when the battlefield becomes a graveyard, and the survivors are left carrying its ghosts. No matter who wins, the cost is always the same: death. the weight of what can never be undone.

    All wars end the same.

    -
    This is the story of Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, and the Howling Commandos. The war they fought. The men they lost. The scars they carried. The love that blossoms, even in the darkest of places, far behind enemy lines.

    Before the ice. Before the Winter Soldier.

    Before it all got worse .

    Summary

    Bucky is dead. To everyone else, Steve lost a friend, a soldier. For him, he lost a lover, his rock and crutch. They’d been together for so long that the hole Bucky leaves behind in Steve’s chest is like the remnants of a cannonball shot. Chased by grief, Steve drops the Valkyrie into the ice and thinks that this is it. He'll finally be able to be with Bucky again.

    Steve wakes up in a new time, with new enemies and new friends, but the mission is the same. Bring down the enemy, no matter what. When a mysterious figure known as San Dapth makes his way onto the scene, Steve and the Avengers step forward and heed the call to arms. Together, they have to face down San Dapth and bring him to justice.

    It's in their fight against San Dapth that Steve discovers something terrifying. He's pregnant with Bucky Barnes' baby. Now he must learn to live this new life without the man he loves.

    Hydra learns of Steve's pregnancy. And they'll do whatever it takes to get to his unborn child, including unleashing their greatest asset from the ice—the Winter Soldier.

    When Steve discovers the Winter Soldier and Bucky Barnes are one and the same, he must fight to bring back the man he loves.

    Summary

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

    Summary

    “You kissed me,” Stiles says.

    To that, Derek says nothing. His gaze does not leave Stiles’ mouth.

    “But you… you’re straight,” Stiles carries on.

    And still, Derek says nothing. His fingers twitch harshly around his grip on thin air.

    “You have a girlfriend,” Stiles whispers.

    Derek is on his feet in an instant.

     

    Stiles is the gay, terminally-single loser of Beacon Hills High. Derek is the straight, cheerleader-dating jock he should have been smart enough to stay away from.

    Summary

    Sirius spent the last four years building a life for himself and Harry after losing almost everything that mattered to him in one single night. His best friends dead, along with the love of his life, executed on the charges of their murder. Sirius had only just managed to pull his head above water when his life was flipped upside down again.

    When his estranged mother brought him the news that Remus was not only still alive, but innocent all along, locked up in Azkaban to be tortured and experimented on, Sirius soon realised he was in an impossible situation.

    With a five-year-old to care for, and his mother’s renewed interest in his life, Sirius is now forced to work with the family he once turned his back on as a teenager to get Remus exonerated. However, it soon becomes clear that freeing Remus is only the beginning.

    Is the man who comes back from Azkaban the same person that Sirius had once loved? Will it be possible for them to find a way back to each other, or are they irrevocably broken? And will Sirius be able to protect Harry and Remus when his mother comes circling, intent on securing the survival of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black regardless of the cost?
