    Summary

    In a world where HYDRA was wiped out in the '40s, Steve is found by the Army rather than SHIELD. General Thaddeus Ross wants a perfectly obedient super-soldier at his command, and to that end, he sets out to break Steve to his will. As Steve struggles to come to terms with all he has lost, his life in captivity is only made bearable by the presence of another prisoner-- another super-soldier known only as "Soldat".
    Then the Avengers strike a deal with Ross to "borrow" him for missions, and Steve is faced with a team who dislikes him, an organization he doesn't trust, and the question of what he's willing to do to escape Ross's clutches.

    Summary

    Tony rolled his eyes as he spoke into his own comm. “I swear, Barton, if this is another prank, I’m confiscating all your shiny toys and Cap is going to send you to your room. We’re not angry, just disappointed.”

    “Tony,” Steve warned before focusing back on his earpiece. “Barton, check-in.”

    Nothing.

    When the Avengers take down what remains of Hydra, one of their own is taken, and it's up to Steve to get his teammate out of Hydra's grasp.

    Summary

    The Avengers think he's traumatised, Fury thinks he needs a break, Natasha wants him to recover. Well, screw those guys. Clint is going to go and make some new friends that appreciate how badass and competent and not-messed-up-after-Loki he is.

    It goes great, until it doesn't.

    Summary

    Upon learning that Phil Coulson is still alive, something breaks in Clint, maybe permanently. Leaving behind his team, his home, and his identity as Hawkeye, he falls back on an old name, living separately from the Avengers until SHIELD demands they begin looking for someone to take the missing archer's place and their sights turn to the rogue assassin Ronin.

    What are the chances of being recruited by a shady government division of superheroes twice?

    Summary

    There’s a long pause and then Bucky thunks his head against Steve’s shoulder again, sounds defeated when he speaks again. “I want to keep him.”

    Well. Fair enough. Steve’s brain is still replaying the last hour on repeat, and he’s starting to think that propositioning Clint Barton for casual sex was a terrible idea for reasons that weren’t on the pro/con list that Bucky made on Thursday. 

    “Me too,” Steve says, and his voice is just as defeated as Bucky’s.
