Summary
"I don't deserve this James. I'm not good enough." Regulus cries as James tries to drag him out. He plants his feet into the ground, not moving.
James lets go.
"Do you want it?" He yells.
Regulus peeks out from under his arms, "What?"
James looks down at him, desperation, and anger, and sadness, and too many emotions fill his eyes, "Do you want it Regulus?" he repeats, softer.
"Yes."
"Then the rest is irrelevant."
OR- James and Regulus have to compete in the Triwizard Tournament together.

Summary
Steve gets out of the hospital in two days, but just barely. “I’m fine,” he tells Sam, Nurse Eunjung and the phalanx of doctors assigned to make sure Captain America didn’t bleed out and die and get bad PR all over their nice clean hospital. “I have an advanced healing factor. It’s fine. See? I’m standing.”
“That is not standing,” Sam tells him.
“You’re bending the IV stand,” Nurse Eunjung adds pointedly. “Let go and sit down, they don’t grow on trees.”
aka Steve and Bucky's Global Honeymoon Revenge World Tour.Podfic of this story available by the incredible quietnight!

Summary
“And what are you gonna do with him when you’ve found him?”
There is a long pause.
Kill him, barks the Asset.
Kiss him, pleads the Sergeant.
He eyes the dark muzzle of the gun dispassionately and his honest answer is directed into that blackness. “I don’t know.”Post-CA:TWS, the Winter Soldier grapples with memory, identity, and a lot of anger. You know the drill. Expect much introspection.

Summary
Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”
Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”
Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.
“The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”

Summary
“Will!!”
Joyce’s scream cuts through the desolate air of Dimension X. She drops to her knees, eyes fixed on Will, who’s on all fours, head hanging, chest heaving. His hands sink into the ash as his body begins to shake, sharp and uncontrollable.
Mike darts forward. “Will?! Will!! Are you okay?!”
The others follow, fear written across their faces. Robin kneels before him, reaching out. Her voice just above a whisper.
“Will?”
Slowly, he lifts his head. Green eyes are gone—replaced by milky white orbs staring into Robin’s blue ones.
Gasps ripple through the group. This isn’t Will. The gentleness is gone. The warmth Will carried has now shifted with a cold murderous look. As if the light was drained out of him. A smirk curls across his lips.
His voice is low, chilling, yet almost tender:
“I told you… every door you leave open, I walk through.”Vecna has found his way back home.
Will was never the target. He was the way in.
