Summary
“Your son, Madame,” Steven began, gentling his tone as though to coax a small, lost creature to its first meal in weeks, “The Marquise is ... Adrift.”
She closed her eyes, drew a deep and shaking breath. “Not entirely,” she allowed, and took up her cup. “Not just yet. Though I do confess it is a painful relief to hear the matter put plain at last." She sipped, her eyes fixed on a traveling point beyond the windows, which Steven felt sure he could guess unseen, then she rallied herself at last to the confession.
"There was a false bonding," she said at last. "A profiteering roué, who saw my son as part of a prize to be stolen. As if he were not worth so very much more-"
A raucous shout and rattle of leaves brought Steven's attention to the garden at last, and he saw that the young Marquise had gotten himself into the drooping boughs of a myrtle tree, and was dangling like a sloth, ivy leaves laid over his eyes like Alexandrian pennies. He appeared to be singing as he rocked the branch to and fro, lost to the seeking of delight and sweetness, as could so easily happen when an omega's heart lay in ruins.

Summary
“What is all this?”
“Keys to Steve’s place in Brooklyn, and his motorcycle. Some records about his, ah, accounts and things. He—well, he hasn’t been declared officially dead, we can’t, you know, say anything about the time travel, but—”
“He’s not coming back,” says Bucky, before Banner has to try to couch it softly, or spare Bucky’s assumed feelings. It’s a courtesy Bucky doesn’t need. His feelings have seemed very far away since Steve left. “I know.”
"Yeah, so, uh, I just figured you should have all this."
Bucky is doing fine after the Blip. He has his amends, he has his exit strategies, he goes to therapy. Steve's gone, but that's fine, Bucky can deal with that, even if he can't deal with feeling like a ghost in the apartment that Steve left behind. But when Steve returns, they'll both have to deal with how to rebuild a friendship and a home that are haunted by the ghosts of who they used to be. Their methods of doing so are perhaps less than ideal, what with how they involve more sex and stealthy surprise interior decoration than any actual communication. Maybe that's all they need to make a new home together.

Summary
Some days Bucky wakes up and remembers nothing, not even the name of the naked, suspiciously well-muscled guy in his bed. Steve calls them zero days. So when Bucky just happens to hint that he’s into lap dances, Steve goes full-on superhero-strategist to win Bucky’s heart on a zero day and give him the lap dance he deserves. (This is not an AU! Steve actually teaches himself how to give an ace lap dance.)

An excerpt:
“You remember milk. You remember orange juice. But you rarely remember lemons. I love to feed you lemons; you make the most hilarious puckered faces. I may have more than one video of you eating lemons on my phone. And if we’ve already kissed (it seems to happen earlier and earlier with each new zero day, maybe you can feel me looking forward to it) then I lick the sour juice from your lips and take the taste right from your tongue. You can probably tell I wasn’t totally honest above: I love zero days. I mean, I love every day with you, but there’s something about being around you when you’re looking at the world with open, curious eyes that makes my skin feel new.”
