    Summary

    “You okay?” Ryan asks. “Sophie’s down?”

    “Just about. This was much easier at 22 than it is at 42, I’ll tell you that,” she responds wryly. She kisses his cheek, settles into her chair, pulling her knee up to her chest. He slides a cup of tea over the table to her. “You okay, sweetie? We missed you at Friday dinner last week.”

    “Yeah, yeah.” He searches for an excuse. “Finals,” he offers, because really, how does one tell their Sandy-and-Kirsten that he didn’t come home because he met someone and kissed him and now the thought of spending the summer apart from him was insufferable and he’s been so happy that he didn’t even think of the family that followed him to Berkeley, and because everything in his life is a bargain he may have missed that they’re falling apart?

    --

    Or, a Berkeley era Ryan and Kirsten talk.

    Summary

    Jake’s plans for Christmas leave include getting drunk, watching old M*A*S*H* re-runs, and generally forgetting the holiday exists. Unfortunately for him a lie goes badly and he finds himself involved in increasingly festive activities with Bradley Bradshaw. Maybe, though, the holiday isn’t so bad, and maybe he’s kind of falling in love with Bradley.

    Summary

    He woke up with a headache, two pairs of broken glasses, and one shoe. He didn't wear glasses, and the shoe wasn't his, so- this presented him with something of a conundrum.

    Summary

    “…The modern viewer must remember that prior to the 1960s, soulmark portraits were the ultimate in taboo. But one can see how an artist like Captain Rogers would feel compelled to pick up his sketchbook…

    ...Captain Rogers never did a self-portrait; we can only speculate who his soulmate — or soulmates — might have been."

    Franklin, Hannah. “Howling Commandos Leave their Mark in Portrait Series by Captain America.” Newsweek, July 9, 2009.
