    Summary

    “The President gave the order. He gets a pardon.”

    “An experimental pardon,” Val corrected. “And the President needs to look just as good as the rest of us. He’ll lean into that war hero image until the first disaster and poof! Tune changed. But guess who will get all of that blame?”

    “We have very advanced technology to ensure that won’t happen,” Ross said.

    “Thaddeus, Thaddeus,” she tutted. “That soldier has withstood every single torture method known to man. Chemicals, deprivation, solitary confinement. Literal brain injury! And he was barely kept in check. What do you think’s going to happen when he’s let loose? We can take bets on the number of casualties.”

    Maybe she’d said that last part a little too gleefully. In any case, Ross narrowed his eyes. “Do you have a suggestion?”

    ----------

    Bucky's pardon requires that he wear an artificially intelligent shock collar as a term of his release. Bucky accepts, knowing it's his only chance to get out and do some good in the world.

    Unfortunately, there are plenty of people ready to severely misuse that power.

    A retelling of TFATWS.

    Summary

    “I would greatly recommend against ever returning to Madripoor. The nature of your celebrity there will not have improved with our latest visit. To reestablish the status quo your presence once held would require extremely violent methods.”

    Bucky felt his face twitch, sending a sharp twinge through his still-healing jaw. “I wasn’t planning on going back.”

    -----------

    The consequences of the trade to Selby are more far reaching and lasting than anyone could have prepared for. When Bucky goes missing, the reality of that hits home hard.

    (Direct sequel to unjust means. Post-TFATWS.)

    Summary

    Longing, rusted, furnace, daybreak, seventeen, benign, nine, homecoming, freight car.

    Zemo said he wanted to see how the new Bucky would react to the old words. Bucky thought his reaction would be little more than annoyance, but Zemo has an effect on him, and now he’s reacting to the old words in a way he never could have anticipated.

    Or: Bucky’s brain is rewriting all those awful memories associated with those trigger words with new memories of Zemo and, yeah, some of them are getting pretty sexual.

    -------

    Each story can be read independently.
    If you read them in order, you get a slow-burn from enemies to begrudging allies to lovers.
