    Summary

    Steve Rogers has spent years burying a truth even the super-soldier serum couldn’t erase: a deep, inescapable need to submit. Determined to uphold the image of Captain America, he forces himself into an unyielding routine, pushing his body and mind past the breaking point in a desperate bid for control. But someone’s been watching.

    The Winter Soldier sees what Steve refuses to admit and he acts.

    When Steve wakes in an isolated farmhouse, far from the demands of heroism and public identity, he's no longer in charge. Under Bucky’s quiet, unrelenting care, Steve is forced to confront the parts of himself he’s spent a lifetime denying.

    Summary

    She growls in frustration when she can’t get comfortable, shifting again. She can feel the pull of the sun beckoning her to rest, but she’s hyper-aware of every goddamn pebble that keeps finding its way under her hips and elbows, and she has the absurd thought of the Princess and the Pea and the night when she was little when Papa Les helped her stack every mattress in the house in a pile because she wanted to try it out for herself. Her breath catches in her chest when one frustrated turn knocks the stone over her slightly ajar, and she hisses when a stream of sunlight hits her elbow, sizzling it instantly. She swallows around her panic as she slides the rock shut once more, pressing her palms flat against it and trembling faintly with adrenaline, aware of the fact that she almost just killed her fool self pitching a hissy fit.

    It’s a long time before she’s steady enough to drop her hands.

    Summary

    Modern cultivator, Wei Wuxian, dies in a train crash and is sent back in time to the period of Ancient China he had been writing his thesis on - transmigrated into his own body as a child, dying on the streets of Yiling. He has no money, no family, but a knowledge of modern cultivation and of the historical events that are about to unfold.

    He recalls the recently-unearthed journal of a woman who was imprisoned in Cloud Recesses against her will, and decides that she’s a good place to start to find someone who might be willing to help him dismantle the corruption that had sent the Cultivation World into the Dark Ages so long ago.

    Of course, he had no idea that the person he sought would be the mother of Hanguang-Jun, the object of Wei Wuxian's fascination (“obsession,” his friend had corrected), since he had first learned of his existence in the ancient texts he'd studied.
