    Summary

    Their bond, ever since Obi-Wan had gone to the Halls of Healing, sits eerily silent at the back of his mind; mute in a manner it hasn’t been in years, maybe ever. Anakin hasn’t touched it since the—diagnosis. Obi-Wan keeps running careful fingers over it, wondering if he’ll feel anything. He never does. With Anakin’s side of it so tightly shut, the once vibrant connection is void of—anything; nothing there to even give him a slight zap at the contact.

    Obi-Wan has never considered himself a masochist. Now, a little pain is lightyears more preferable to the dead nothingness that’s constantly lurking around his connection to Anakin.

     

    OR; Obi-Wan gets himself cursed and makes it everyone’s, but mainly Anakin’s, problem.

    Summary

    Quinlan grins, tilts his head to the side as he gestures at Obi-Wan with his fork. “You can’t tell me that you haven’t had a wandering eye for Skywalker. I’ve seen the way you look at him.” He leans forward, dropping the fork onto his plate with a clang. “So maybe that drop down the ravine messed with your brain a bit more than we were all thinking.”

    “I know what I heard,” Obi-Wan reinforces.

    Or, five times Anakin confesses and the one time Obi-Wan does.

    Summary

    “Bucky?” Steve calls softly, and Bucky halts, going preternaturally still.

    Steve finds himself thrown back to that day on the bridge, staring at the assailant who’d worn his best friend’s face, a flame of hope fluttering in his chest.

    It’s with similar feeling that he watches Bucky slowly raise his eyes to meet Steve’s, and a similar agony pierces through him as Bucky stares at Steve with the same blank eyes of the Soldier.

    “Steve,” Bucky says, after a too-long pause, brow ever-so-slightly furrowed.

    His gaze goes to Sam as if he’s seeking reassurance. As if he needs confirmation that what he’s seeing is real. Only after Sam has offered a subtle nod does he look back at Steve, face pale as milk, and very empty.

    “How— Why are you… here?”

     

    Or,

    Steve's epic stupidity and bad decision-making have unintended consequences.
