    Summary

    “You should be careful of that one,” Mr. Hendrickson says, with a nod to Bucky outside the window. “It ain’t right. Looking at you all the time as he does. The way he should be looking at girls.”

     

     

    Steve laughs, because damn, but what a ridiculous idea.

     

    Or, five times Steve caught Bucky looking at him, and the one time he looked first.

    Summary

    The thing about Bucky these days is that, while he might be a semi-mythical assassin, he's also vulnerable—the kind of vulnerable that makes total strangers want to drape a blanket over his shoulders and take him to safety. The problem is, of course, that Bucky is already safe.

    The first time it happens, Bucky has no idea how to react. He and Steve are walking down the street, when a slight woman takes in Bucky’s terrified eyes, the dark circles so bad they almost look like bruises, and Steve’s protective hand resting on his lower back, guiding him down the busy sidewalk (but it must look possessive, to someone looking for a sign), and comes to the wrong conclusion.

    Summary

    But Steve was fine.

    Sure, he hadn’t seen Bucky in months, and sometimes he was at the punching bag so long that his skin started to peel off to expose the bones of his fingers, and sometimes he couldn’t find the energy to drag himself out of bed, and sometimes he went weeks without sleeping, and sometimes he thought about throwing himself head-first off the nearest tall structure, but he was fine.

    He was absolutely, perfectly, one-hundred percent, fucking fine.

    AKA
    In which Steve learns how to deal with his shit, and Bucky learns how to stop leaving.

    Summary

    Boromir has been trained in stewardship of a city at war. He knows how to set guard shifts, how to break through enemy lines, the weak points of a warg. From here to Rivendell, he knows his land, even the crumbling walls of Osgiliath.
    He does not know what flowers are in season, what sweetmeats and breads are acceptable, which wings to open for the elves and the dwarves. He does not know what to do about the fact that he’s offered to teach Aragorn to dance.
