Summary
Steve falls asleep on the carpet, head tipped back against the old couch. Jonathan debates waking him. Doesn’t. He drapes a blanket over him instead, careful not to touch too much.
Steve murmurs something in his sleep. Jonathan’s name, maybe. Maybe not.
Jonathan sits on the edge of the couch and listens to Steve breathe until the tightness in his chest eases just a fraction.
He doesn’t question any of it.
He’s tired of questioning things.

A glitch in time punts John back to the morning before the serum. This time he saves Lemar, learns that “boring is merciful,” and quietly hands the shield to Sam—claiming U.S.Agent and a kinder way to be a hero.Part 2 — The Safety Net Clause
Thunderbolts, but with guardrails. John joins on his terms—nonlethal-first rules, lanes for civilians, Sentry kept steady—and outsmarts Val while running city-scale saves. By the end, the world hears it: “Captain America stands with U.S.Agent.”- Language:

Summary
Ghost, under threat of another psychological evaluation from both his CO and therapist, has been forced to partake in a penpal programme with another soldier in order to "practise empathy" and "re-establish human connection." He hates it until he doesn't.
MacTavish willingly volunteers for the SAS's new penpal programme because what the hell, it could be fun. And when his penpal ends up being adorably emotionally constipated, well, that certainly doesn't hurt.
