    Summary

    For the safety of himself and those around him, Bucky has always stressed one simple rule: don't wake him up from a nightmare.

    While staying in Sam's Louisiana home, one of Sam's nephews unthinkingly breaks this rule. With the Winter soldier at the reigns and his hand wrapped around Cass's throat, Sam has a choice to make.

    Bucky's mind slips between past and present. One moment he's with HYDRA, the next he's hovering over Sam with a knife in his hand. Sarah's kitchen is destroyed, her son is terrified, Sam's bleeding, and Bucky must face the consequences of what he's done. Sam keeps telling him it's not his fault, but he doesn't know if he'll ever be able to forgive himself.

    Or: Bucky has nightmares. He and Sam have a brutal fight. They talk it through and reminisce while Bucky tries to come to terms with the sins of his past. After Sam helps him through another rough night, Bucky meets with Sarah to try to make amends, but talking about his life has never been easy.

    Summary

    He's not unused to Bucky's nightmares. Sometimes they're random, confusing things. Sometimes they're real scenes from his life he already remembers. And sometimes they're new memories pushing their way to the surface. Those ones in particular usually leave Bucky quieter, more withdrawn for a day or two. This is the first time he's ever seen one trigger this sort of reaction in Bucky, though.

    Or: Bucky still hasn't chased down all the spectres of his past. One comes back to haunt him.

    Good thing Sam doesn't believe in ghosts.

    Summary

    "I'm talking about... what happened before. Behind the bar. With Selby."

    Bucky's entire body freezes, all the blood draining from his face.

    Behind the bar. Selby. Selby, and her greedy expression, and Zemo, and Zemo's hand, his hand on his face, tilting his chin up, showing him off, and he's saying—

    "I don't know what you're talking about."

    Or: Sam wants to know what happened in Madripoor. Bucky doesn't know how to tell him.

    Summary

    “That idiot,” Sam growled out, shaking his head with vehemence. "He couldn’t have waited? Couldn’t have held off just five damn minutes for someone with the right gear? The room wasn’t going anywhere! It would’ve been fine to just wait, and now look where he is!”

    “He’ll be okay, Sam,” Torres said, voice still quiet as he maneuvered the jet upwards and away. “He’s tough.”

    “Whatever toxin that was was tougher,” Sam muttered, shaking his head. “He stopped breathing, Torres.”

    While on a mission, Bucky takes a hit, and doesn't get back up. Sam helps him recover. (Or: shameless Bucky Barnes whump that I did way too much research into airborne poisoning and recovery for.)

    Summary

    Usually, this is where suspects ask why they’re being held, if they don’t immediately request a lawyer. Grayson doesn’t do either. "You don't seem surprised," Gideon says.

    Grayson’s face pinches. “Unfortunately, I think I have an idea what this is about.”

    While in Blüdhaven, Spencer Reid and Jason Gideon learn of four abduction cases that could resemble the pattern of a serial killer. When a common denominator is found in the girls’ gymnastics studio, their instructor, Richard Grayson, is brought in for questioning.
