Summary
The fog is lifting. No resets. No wipes. No handler.
HYDRA’s collapse leaves James Barnes without orders for the first time in his adult life. He doesn’t return to the Avengers. He doesn’t go back to Steve. Instead, he turns toward the wreckage and begins dismantling what’s left.
He has a mission partner. Someone who hates HYDRA as much as he does.
Reintegrating into a person again is a slow, incremental process. But James is learning that he can lean on Helmut Zemo. That some firsts don’t have to hurt. That recovery can be still. And shared.

Summary
Helmut Zemo is both resentful and relieved by Sam Wilson’s presence in the safehouse.
Relieved, because Sam’s proximity keeps certain lines intact. Because James Barnes, when Sam is near, remains just out of reach.
Resentful, because Zemo wants him anyway.
He wants to possess the man. To run his hand through James’ heart, to coil his soul around James’ core and hold him there, endless and enclosed, without beginning or end. The desire is vast enough to be frightening.
It is agony to be in love with a mated Alpha.
Sam Wilson and James “Bucky” Barnes are bond-mated, under orders by the US Government to soothe and regulate the rabid former Winter Soldier assassin, a powerful Alpha. But Helmut Zemo and James Barnes are careening toward the edge of the cliff face. Hearts are bound to break. True bonds are inevitable. Fate will have the last laugh.

Summary
James Barnes woke in a strangled cry, chest heaving, ragged gasps.
“Zemo,” James choked. “It’s not been me. The Soldier - he’s been here. He’s been living as me. He’s tapped your phone, email, everything. Get help - Sam, Wakanda, anybody - he wants to raise Hydra from the ashes!”
Zemo stroked his shoulder, soothing. “It is only a night terror, darling. You are safe. Here, with me.”
But James only clung harder, eyes wild. “No, no. It’s him. I'm not strong enough, he might hurt you.."
Zemo soothed him back to sleep, dismissing the echoes of old trauma. He would notice if the Winter Soldier had taken his husband’s place. Wouldn’t he?

Summary
On a rain-soaked night in Bucharest, a troubled and freshly de-programmed Bucky Barnes is on the run from Hydra, and works the streets, hopping to make enough money to get something to eat and perhaps a way out of the city. He doesn't expect an elegant, rich, drunk man to make him an unusual offer to spend the night together.
What begins as a transactional encounter turns into something neither of them expected: the dangerous intimacy of being seen.
And all the things you can hear in the silence.

Summary
Bucky thinks this is a stupid idea. Ava thinks this is ridiculous. Walker thinks this is somewhat humiliating. Bob thinks this is a very very bad idea. Alexei thinks this is a very very brilliant idea. Yelena, for the first time in a while, shares the same thought with her dad: this could be a great opportunity to bring people trust.
Little did she know it was way, far more chaotic than she thought it would be.
Or in which the New Avengers were forced to make weekly vlogs about their life and gossip started to spread across the internet with a very specific hashtag about a certain ghost girl and a guy with metal arm.
