    Summary

    Recovering from being an instrument of death isn’t easy. Staying grounded in the present is almost impossible when memory is a sea constantly surging forward to drown Bucky Barnes. It’s harder when he spends his days alone, struggling to piece himself back together. The silence is deafening, and in his desperation to break through it, he dials the only number he has—one given to him by a scrawny New Yorker living a completely mundane life. It’s a buoy in the sea, and a connection that becomes integral to both men as the days wear on.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes had it all—grease under his fingernails, dog fur behind the cushions of his couch, a cozy place to call his own. The house, the truck, the dogs, the works. A ride-or-die, close-knit community. A patch of land he could wander. A mountain view to inspire him. After six tours of duty and nine months in captivity, Bucky knew how bad things could get, so he didn't dare ask for anything else. Especially not someone to hold.

    Until a tall, blond super-soldier crash-landed into his quiet life and threatened to make all his dreams come true.

    For now.

    Summary

    "And what did you make of Dr. Smartypants? Quite a way with words, don't you think?"

    "He's something," Steve hedged. "Was hoping you could shed some light."

    "Where would be the fun in that?" Natasha chuckled. "Have I ever sent you on a wild goose chase?"

    He sighed again, heavily. "No."

    "Have I ever failed to have your back?"

    Steve grunted at the irony. She'd been assigned to his detail just after he'd thawed out. The word he'd use to describe that time would be 'suffocating'. But then somehow, over the years, the chokehold had become an embrace. "What kind of minefield am I walking into here? Can you at least tell me that?"

    As always, Natasha heard what he didn't ask her. "No. But I think you should let him fill you in on the rest himself. He is a historian, after all. Don't want to steal all of his thunder."

    Steve laughed despite himself. "So you think I should do this?"

    "I think it's been a long time since you've had a real adventure." Steve would have rolled his eyes at her mom-ing him if it wasn't, well, the truth.

    Or: Steve receives a letter from Dr. J.B. Barnes, Brooklyn Historical Society. Except not quite that J.B. Barnes.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers would be the first to tell you he's had it rougher than some but better than most. His job at the coffee shop lets him do his art, work with his best friend, take care of his ma, and ogle the muscular mechanics at the local auto-body shop. His health and his love life could be better, but he's very aware of how lucky he is to have it this good. Oh, and live in Brooklyn. Simple life, simple pleasures.

    Is it really so much to ask to be able to get across the street in one piece? Apparently.

    Before he knows it, Steve finds himself on a collision course with every hotrod coming out of the lot, with the quiet but hunkalicious new hire at the body shop, and with... well, romance.

    Summary

    What do you get when you mix one deprogrammed formerly brainwashed assassin who works at a craft store and occasionally saves the world on the side, and one chronically ill crafting youtuber who frequents his store?

    You get love, obviously. Though first you get some pining, some cat herding, and some teasing from your coworkers- both the super ones and the maybe possibly super on the side when they're not at the craft store with you ones.
