    Birmingham, 1919. The Shelby brothers have just returned home from the war and a restless Tommy Shelby attempts to grow the family business to better their lives and fulfill his ambitions. In the same town, Evelyn Calman fights to practice veterinary medicine despite the fact that women are still prohibited from taking the final examination that would officially grant her the title of veterinarian.

    Summary

    Part One: 1983 - For the Winter Soldier, mission statements were to be followed precisely. Take out his target, eliminate his guards. So what was he to do with the female sex slave his target was holding prisoner at the remote cabin location in the Russian woods. She was not listed as a target, therefore not part of his mission. He had ten days until his extraction day to figure out what to do with her. But he knows that he can not leave a witness, even one who starts to make him happy. He would have to complete his mission...which now included eliminating Star.

    Part Two: 2014 - After finally being freed from Hydra by Steve, Bucky's memories are slowly coming back to him. All except for the one of his mission with Star. Why are they locked away? Why does each new one cause him such physical pain? Deciding to return to Washington to get his files from Steve, Bucky worries what he will find inside of them. What significance did Star have on him?

    Summary

    Lexi has left her identity and Avengers HQ behind, determined to get to Bucky and destroy the people she believes have forced him back into cryostasis. When she learns the truth, however, she is left feeling crushed, betrayed by those she had thought of as family, and she disappears.

    The darkness she has fought so hard against takes over, stripping her of emotion and leaving only cold calculation in its place. At her biological mother’s urging, she travels across Europe and the Middle East, nameless and faceless, anonymously assisting her friends in their mission to rid the world of alien weaponry with ruthless efficiency.

    When Bucky wakes up, finally free of Hydra’s programming, though, her heart and mind are suddenly thrown into chaos, torn between running to him and running away so he never gets the chance to hurt her again. When she finally faces him, he can see her haunted, blank expression, and he recognizes it as the one The Asset wore for decades—and this time it’s his turn to help her find her way out of the dark.

    With Bucky’s help, she learns to accept that both her light and dark sides are necessary; she’ll need them to keep herself and her family alive.

    Because Thanos is coming.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes was just trying to focus on getting his brain to recognize his name again while he drove as far from D.C. and Hydra as he could. It was finally feeling just safe enough to accept that he really needed a beer that had him stopping in a small town bar in Indiana, where a very fierce former fighter pilot named Peyton Lawfley decided to buy him his second beer and put some direction back in his life. One beer became several rounds of beer and shots, which became a place to crash and by the next day, Bucky was sitting in her dad's engine repair garage watching her work and scaring off the guys she was sick of turning down. Bucky knew he was terrible material for a boyfriend, fake or real, but when he tried to explain that to Peyton, she only gave him that smirk and said, "I'm a pilot. I see death threats as dares." True to form and much to Bucky's dismay, every time Peyton learned of one of the terrifying aspects of his life, she not only didn't flinch, she moved in closer, putting herself in very real danger should Hydra find him. It's hard to do the chivalrous thing and walk away when the girl is insanely beautiful, entirely fearless, and unashamedly into you, though....
