    Summary

    Part 1 — Second Chance, First Choice
    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.”

    Summary

    After the Thunderbolts, John Walker is trying—therapy, fatherhood, co-parenting, and holding together the life he almost lost. He’s oblivious to the fact that half his new team has adopted him as family… and that Bucky Barnes is very much in love with him.

    Between Alexei sneaking casseroles, Yelena heckling like a little sister, Ava’s rare but pointed check-ins, Bob drifting in like a storm front and quieting the room just to stand in John’s orbit (because John’s steady hands and warm hugs anchor the Void better than any drug), and Sam trying to play wingman, John slowly learns he’s allowed to want things for himself.

    Bucky just hopes he notices before the whole world figures it out first.

    It turns out love isn’t a mission, and family isn’t a unit—it’s a branch that grows, if you let it.

    Summary

    Bucky doesn't even flinch. "This isn't negotiable," he replies flatly. "Ava is a no-go, and I need you to step up." He doesn't speak loudly, but the tone he uses effectively cuts through John's protests anyway.

    And he absolutely hates that he knows that.

    The room goes quiet, except for Alexei's chair squeaking as he shifts uncomfortably. Bob coughs quietly on the side. Yelena busies herself watching her nails, but John knew better than to think she was not at all listening.

    And Ava---

    Ava doesn't say a word.

    "Great. Fine. Whatever," John says, snapping his briefing folder closed. He could pitch a bigger fit, but at the end of the day, a mission was a mission.

    And he was a soldier.

    Still, he twists to face Ava, who's refusing to look at him, and pointedly tells her, "You owe me for this. Big time. And trust me, I intend to collect."

    -

    or

    You know nothing, Jon Snow John Walker

    (and Ava would like to keep it that way actually)

    Summary

    Bob's adopted dog isn't exactly a service animal, but she pulls him back from the brink when he's spiraling. Now they've got to do the same thing for John.
