    Summary

    Steve is struck by the posture.

    Bucky sprawled on the couch, each and every time, curling into its soft embrace like a lazy cat, snuggling up to Steve whenever he could, rarely letting his feet even touch the ground. James’s spine is ramrod straight, a good few inches away from the back of the couch, and there’s tension thrumming in every line of his body, the sight so familiar that Steve would never have taken notice of it if not for Bucky.

    It almost sends him to his knees, this concrete reality.

    James looks up.

    The eyes are the same, but the face they’re set in is older, harder, deep slashes carved into its handsome lines. Bucky looked like a boy who’d grow into a man with laugh lines, but when James’s brow furrows, it’s with a frown that threatens at every moment to morph into a scowl. He doesn’t look older than thirty, he never will, but he wears every one of his hundred years in his too-old eyes.

    “James,” Steve chokes out.

    It’s a greeting, but it’s also grief.

    “Steve,” James returns evenly. “Good morning.”

    Steve is condemned to be haunted by men who are still alive.

    Summary

    "Steven Grant Rogers," a voice said from somewhere near Steve's front door. "Professional inker. Maybe you'd like to explain why you're leaving us messages about our good friend Bucky?"

    The redhead currently pinning Steve to the couch said, "Really?"

    "Alright, her good friend Bucky. My tolerated friend Bucky."

    "My phone's on the table," Steve ground out. "Grab it, have a look at the last picture."

    The guy grabbed it, and his obvious double-take would have been funny if Steve wasn't being crushed into his couch. He held it out and the redhead peered at it. "It could be fake."

    "That's right," Steve said, digging down for all the sarcasm that existed in his skinny body. "I scribbled all over my own thighs and took a photo so I could lure a pair of hostile weirdos to my apartment. That's how I enjoy spending my time."

    "You know what this means, right?" the guy said, sounding deeply bemused. "Bucky has a soulmate."

    Summary

    “Alien…aphrodisiac.” James blinks and takes a few deep breaths, absorbing the information to scratch his head over later. Steve’s the priority now. “At least tell me he didn’t leap into the path of the alien whatever.”

    The Widow laughs. It’s half for show, James knows, but he thinks he can see genuine amusement in her cool green eyes. Steve’s better at reading her, but Steve’s apparently busy rubbing one out in the bathroom.

    “Not this time,” she says. “It’s not a weapon. One of the scientists grabbed the first thing they could in a panic. Steve was the only one in the room with them and got a faceful of blue dust. The effects took a couple of hours to show.”

    “And the scientist who used it?”

    “Was trying to fuck a wall, last I saw.”

    James grimaces.

    “It’s not very dignified,” the Widow adds, noting his expression. “Like I said, either the serum’s handling the worst of it, or Steve’s real superpower is his moral compass.”

    Steve gets sex-pollened. He handles it just fine, and then Bucky shows up.

    Summary

    When hunter-killer machines begin attacking the Memorial Grove, Aloy returns there to lend her aid. She arrives on the night of the blaze moon, a Tenakth ceremony that sweeps her up in it before she realizes it's happening. Suddenly suitors are seeking her out around every corner until she and Kotallo stumble into an...unorthodox solution.

    That might cause more problems than it solves.

    Summary

    Fast and fierce, the Horse Guard protect the Kingdom and its people, and they welcome anyone into their ranks-noble, commoner, or peasant-so long as they can ride a horse like they were born to it. Guard Barnes—Bucky—has come to the Kingdom's largest horse fair to find a new horse. He's supposed to choose from one of the approved horses; instead he finds himself buying a tall, skinny, angry stallion with the ridiculous name of Steve. Bucky can't leave him behind, but he's nothing like what Bucky's looking for and everything Bucky doesn't want.

    But Bucky's more right than even he knows because Steve's not a horse at all. He's a man under a curse, victim of a powerful sorcerer's temper and magic, and he's bound to never, by action or deed, reveal what he truly is.

    It's gonna be one hell of a ride.
