    Summary

    His eyes, somehow the only thing illuminated by the moonlight —

    They are a beautiful intense blue. Like someone had swiped a paintbrush through the ocean and painted them into the assassin’s eyes. The colour is only heightened by the smudged shadows adorning his skin and Bucky’s breath catches as he stares, enthralled. He is suddenly back in the cockpit of the Valkyrie, feeling the rush of icy liquid bury him.

    The absolute blankness of those eyes – clear and lucid, but bereft of anything – it sends goosebumps crawling up his arm. Even Natasha's carefully blank mask cannot compare. That, at least, Bucky can tell he is looking at a living person, but this?

    This is like staring at a dead body.

    Like staring at a lake illuminated by the moon, one that tempts you close with its clear stillness. One where you discover how deep the water is, only when you’re drowning in that illuminated beauty.

    OR: Steve saved Bucky on the train, at the cost of his own fall.

    Summary

    Tony accidentally stumbles onto the fact that Steve isn't holding things together quite as well as he makes it look. As awkward as it is at first, Tony's been there, and he finds himself reaching out to him.

    But the more he tries to push past Steve's walls the more he realises just how deep his issues go. And they all seem to be pointing in one direction.

    Should he really be surprised to find SHIELD is at the root of it?

    Summary

    “I just want to go home Nat.” he said with such longing in his voice that it squeezed at her heart.

    “Then come home.” She said

    “I can’t though. I am going to be blamed for everything. This was a mistake, I shouldn’t have tried to reach out.” Steve said

    “Steve please you can come back home.” Nat said

    “You could have found me Nat, anytime in the last seven months, you could have.” Steve paused. “This is just my luck, everyone agrees with me but I still lose everything cause Tony’s the one with more powerful friends. I’m going to be blamed for everything.” He said with a self depreciating laugh.

    “Steve, that’s not what this is.” Nat said, now that he was standing she could see that the past seven months had not been kind to him. He had lost weight, his t-shirt hung off his frame and his long hair and beard weren’t like the clean cut soldier she knew.

    “Don’t lie to me Nat. That’s exactly what this is.” Steve snapped back. “I hope you can build the team back up.” He said turning around.

    “Steve you are still a part of the team.” She said causing Steve to turn with a laugh.

    “If that were true Nat then you would have found me five months ago.” He said, Nat had no answer for him.
