    Summary

    “It’ll be okay,” Bucky promises.

    He’s always done that. For their whole lives, Steve’s always been the one less in touch with his emotions but more easily paralyzed by them, and Bucky’s always known how to put on a brave face even when he’s struggling and promise, at times through clenched teeth, that everything will be alright.

     And Steve will be okay, because he doesn’t have any other option. It’s only a million tiny cuts all over his body, his heart, his soul, slowly bleeding him dry. How could be not be okay, when Bucky’s been through so much worse.

    Summary

    “Do you think I’m a good person, Sirius?”

    The question caught Sirius off guard, although he should’ve known it was flitting around Regulus’s mind. Regulus had always answered questions with questions, refusing to tip his hand unless forced.

    “I don’t know,” Sirius admitted slowly, “I really wish I did.”

    Regulus’s eyes widened once more, as if he was genuinely surprised by Sirius’s answer. “I’m trying, Siri, I--”

    And Sirius cut him off once more. “I don’t think I believe in trying, Reg. I think you are the things that you do, it’s that simple.”

    OR

    How much control do we really have over our own story? A tale of fate, destiny, and choices from Sirius's birth to Regulus's death.

    Summary

    The man has eyes the color of the sky. Hands that are bloodied from battle but might be gentle if they touched him. A voice that drags the ghosts of memories through the soldier’s fractured mind, and he can’t die. The soldier was sent to kill him. Ordered it, assigned it. And he didn’t, so he can’t go back. Not without completing a mission. Not again. He needs to run, to hide. To find some secret corner of the world where they’ll never find him.

    If the man drowns, it will all be for nothing. The man has to live. Even if the soldier might be taken back and put permanently into the ice for disobeying.

    //

    On the banks of the Potomac River, Steve wakes up to watch the Winter Soldier's back as he walks away. He can't let him go. Hydra might find him, and if they don't, SHIELD will, and Steve doesn't trust them either. Not when Bucky is buried in there somewhere. They have to run.

    Summary

    “Alright, Vancouver, we have arrived—at the very first bridge of the evening! Now, I have a question… do any of you gorgeous people happen to know the lyrics to this bridge?”

    Teddy Lupin sure does. And Remus… well, he’s just glad his kid happens to be standing next to someone else who seems equally passionate. Even if it is a grown adult man with messy black hair wearing red heart-shaped glasses and a shirt indicating he has ‘A Lot Going On At The Moment.’ The guy’s friend doesn’t seem like bad company either.

    -OR-

    A fic in which Remus takes his 10-year-old son to the Eras Tour for Christmas and gets a lot more than he bargained for. ’Tis the damn season, as they say.

    Summary

    Rumi wanted an escape. Mira wanted connection. Zoey wanted to be the life of the party. None of them wanted to be dragged into rehab and forced to confront their feelings. But the universe works in mysterious ways, and maybe they were meant to be here. Maybe they were meant to find each other. And maybe, just maybe, they can begin to heal.

    Idk I just thought all the girls could use some therapy
