    Summary

    “How’d it go with Barnes?” Natasha smirks.

    Steve finishes strapping on his helmet. “None of your business.”

    “He’s good, isn’t he?”

    The airlock disengages, loudly prying open the hatch at the back of the jet as Steve steps toward open sky and refuses to look at her self satisfied grin over his shoulder.

    “Shut up,” Steve says. And then he jumps out of the plane.

    --

    or; try as he might, steve just can't seem to feel settled. in his body, in the things he wants, in this future timeline he's still not quite sure he belongs in. bucky's supposed to be stress relief, and he is.

    but he's more than that, too.

    Summary

    “What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?” Clint says, instead.

     

    Barnes snorts. “Having a drink,” he says, then gives Clint another one of those appraising looks. “You a professional?” he says, after a second, and Clint is momentarily confused.

     

    A professional what?

     

    And then he realizes Barnes must be talking about pool, and Clint huffs a laugh. “Only when there’s money involved,” he says, smirking, and Barnes kind of nods, like that makes any sort of sense.

     

    Then Barnes nods again, a little more firmly, and says “You got a place?”

     

    Which is about the point that Clint realizes that he’s not meeting the Winter Soldier in a bar, he’s being picked up by the Winter Soldier in a bar and-

     

    “Yeah,” he croaks, clears his throat, thinks wildly that he’s really fucking glad Kate has Lucky for a few days, and says “Yeah, I got a place.”

     

    Or, how Bucky got his groove back.

    (And Clint too, but it was a different sort of groove)

    Summary

    Four years after the Battle of New York, Clint has created a stable life for himself and his young daughter, free of the dangers of SHIELD work.

    The Winter Soldier turned himself in to the Avengers, expecting a death sentence or lifetime of imprisonment. Instead, he found absolution and an invitation to join the team. He is still adjusting to life as an Avenger when he meets Clint Barton and his daughter.

    The young man that Bucky Barnes used to be was wholeheartedly enthusiastic about meeting his soulmate, but Bucky is not sure there’s a place for him in his soulmate’s life anymore.

    Clint has spent his whole life dreading meeting his soulmate, drawing false conclusions from the hurtful words that were spoken in haste. They are both drawn to each other and are willing to give this a try, but will have to work together to overcome the shadows of their past.

    Excerpt:

    It’s one of the largest soulmarks Bucky has ever seen. The script in Bucky’s neat cursive handwriting starts at the crest of one shoulder and arcs below Clint’s collarbones to end at the crest of the other shoulder, golden letters that no tattoo ink has ever been able to replicate.

    What kind of idiot are you?
