Summary
Tale 2 … in which they’re hunkered down in their usual spot in the media room with the rest of the team for horror movie night, but it’s just the 2nd of October and Clint’s yahoo friends and teammates are already itching to be scared out of their wits.
They do some version of this every week, with half the team giving the movie and group activity the attention it merits and the other half goofing off or fooling around.

Summary
(Tale 3…) …in which Clint can still remember the little burst of joy and longing that flooded him every time he checked in post-mission and his phone lit up with Darcy’s daily check-ins from his farm.
She’d watch Lucky for him, feed the chickens and gather their eggs, just generally hold down the fort while he was gone.
And send him naughty selfies.
It was early October last time he left her and she’d been in full, everything-autumn mode.

Summary
Tale 4 … in which Steve smells delicious.
To anyone else, this probably wouldn’t be a problem, but for Bucky?
It’s fuckin’ weird.
Unbeknownst to Bucky at the time and for quite a while after, he got in a bit of a scuffle with a vampire coven in a creepy ass forest in Budapest while he was recovering his memories after Insight died a fiery death over the Potomac. Bucky has the worst luck but maybe running into that coven wasn’t the worst thing ever happened to him.
Besides, taking out what was left of the STRIKE team and lab staff shortly after at The Vault like tearing through wet tissue paper kind of made up for the new inconveniences of suddenly being a vampire.
Even though it took a long goddamn time to figure out that’s what he was.

Summary
Tale 5 … in which “You say this is … tradition?” Thor asked, crossing the lofted master bedroom above their newly constructed Viking longhouse in New Asgard to help her fluff her nest and spread the woven blankets gifted her by the village women.
“It is,” his beloved assured him, setting up her little tablet in the center of their great alcove bed and gathering up another stack of blankets to share while they watched the first of her favored seasonal movies together. He had a passing familiarity with her enjoyment of all things hyggelig, and was fully prepared to indulge her every delicate whim through the long cold months of the coming winter now that she’d confirmed his suspicion.
Darcy was carrying.

Summary
Tale 7 … in which The Avengers walk into a bar.
The Crow Bar.
Sounds like the beginning of a joke, right?
It’s not, but it’s still funny, Darcy thinks as a rainbow rhinestone-bedazzled Tony Stark spins away from his teammates out onto the dance floor, hollering, “It’s Gay Halloween, bitches! Somebody jack my lantern.”
Certified silver fox, Steve Rogers, pauses on the edge of the dance floor, keeping an eye on Stark, assessing the room, probably for potential threats. His long hair is down for once, bouncing around his shoulders like a volumizing shampoo commercial, and there’s a bi flag stripe painted under his left eye. It’s June, but as a certified bi, he obviously hasn’t gone out without his leather jacket and rainbow Chucks to celebrate.
It’s actually kind of adorable, Darcy thinks, pulling a trio of beers as she watches the team of heroes fan out, hoping there won’t be trouble. The crowd parts for the Avengers and a wave of whispering begins in their wake, spreading like climate change.
It’s a queer bar the first night of Pride Month in Brooklyn and Darcy’s already exhausted.

Summary
(Tale 8 … in which) One evening, in early October, Darcy and Steve lay in bed together in the Owens Family house on the cliffs above the seaside—a rambling, old anachronism, a remnant of less complicated times, but a house Darcy’s family nonetheless had loved and called home for longer than nearly anyone could remember.
(Witches are very long-lived, after all.)

Summary
(Tale 9 … in which) when Darcy suggested they go to her family’s cabin deep in the heart of the Catskills on their honeymoon, Brock had his doubts that she would truly enjoy it.
Weren’t honeymoons meant to be an escape or a bit of an adventure? He’d lobbied for them to spend at least three weeks honeymooning in Rome and she promised him they’d go there for a future anniversary, but her family’s cabin was real special to her. And she wasn’t wrong about its aesthetic appeal. It turned out to be a lovely, picturesque cabin with every possible amenity Brock could want.
She swore, by the end of their trip, he’d never want to leave.

Summary
Tale 10 … in which “Get up, get dressed,” Nat orders, barging in on an evening of pizza, spooky movies, and highly likely mutual hand jobs on the couch.
“What? Why?” Clint whines without moving. He’s sprawled across Bucky with a hand down his fuckbuddy’s pants and a promising handful of That Dick chubbing up nicely in his fist.
Bucky stares at her, dead-eyed and monotone, “No force on earth could make me. Not you, not even God herself.”
“Darcy broke up with Steve. We’re cheering him up, gonna get spooky together.” She snickers and tosses a lumpy garment bag at each of them. “Thor brought Aesir booze, enough for a dozen super soldiers. I will make sure you get a doggie keg to bring home if you throw on these Halloween costumes without complaint.”
And that turns out to be carrot enough for Bucky.

Summary
Tale 11 … in which…
“Scanned you with a kimoyo bead before we struck our deal,” James dropped his voice back down to a whisper for her ears alone. “Your back is broken, spine is severed. Skull’s busted, too, ribs, pelvis, coupl’a others.” He pressed his lips to her forehead again and she felt his tears as they fell on her skin. “Gonna fix you right up, Nataliya. Get you home to Wakanda, get you checked out, then we’ll go see your folks. Hulk’s beside himself, too. He couldn’t fit on the space ship.” James sniffled.
Natasha swallowed and exhaled.
James didn’t warn her again.
She didn’t expect him to.
A pinch at her neck was the only warning she got.
Then.
FIRE.

Summary
(Tale 12 … in which…) “Hey!” She waved. “Hi, S.T.R.I.K.E.!” she called out as his team crowded around to see what was up.
“Lewis!” Across the bar, Sharon and Maria lifted their cocktails in a toast at the sound of Lewis’ voice on Brock’s tablet.
Brock’s team returned the greeting with the usual baffled hellos.
Dr. Foster hated everything in combat boots and everyone at S.H.I.E.L.D. knew it.
Dr. Lewis partied almost exclusively with her preferred jackbooted thugs, Woo and Rambeau, due to her S.W.O.R.D. posting as a sort of roving, intergalactic representative of NASA. Brock’s S.T.R.I.K.E. team had played security more than once for Lewis, though always on terrafirma in the past.

Tale 13 … in which…
She practically heard his eyes roll when he called back, “I’m eighteen. You wanna check my teeth like a horse next, too?”
“Mind your step, Babyface. I will call your mother, buddy.” Darcy hissed, pointing a warning finger at him where he dropped trou, kicked off the ranger panties, and sauntered around some more with his jailbait ass out.
That right there, that was the last fucking straw.

Summary
(Tale 18 …) in which Darcy and Bucky have been keeping secrets.
When Coulson tries to pry and starts asking questions she won’t—can’t give him answers to, he (surprisingly) takes the hint and backs all the way off.
She’s grateful. She doesn’t know why he cooperates so readily, but she’s not going to question good fortune. She knows better.
He’s the one who puts out a warning to the security team, in fact, that Dr. Foster likes the wild cats milling around the property she uses for her lab; they’re great mousers and they keep the desert rodent population under control for free at the old car dealership.
Be kind to them, Coulson orders.
Coulson never breathes so much as a word that Darcy knows of to anyone that Darcy uses the presence of those cats to hide her nighttime activities.
(Tale 19 … is in Chapter 3.)

Clint adopts all the strays—as always—and earns that Team Sniper Dads mug he got for Christmas, Steve Rogers returns after his trip back in time to return the stones, and Bucky realizes he really did leave all the stupid with him.
