    Summary

    “Captain America lives on the top floor. Roof access. This is the closest we can get with camera surveillance. Stark hasn’t started sweeping random bakeries, not yet. Think you can handle the mission?”

    The Soldier has killed presidents and priests, drug lords and diplomats, people with small armies to protect them and people who could make him break a sweat as they fought for their lives. He has shaped the century.

    These are facts, not memories.

    But he knows this is nothing, this mission. Follow a lone man around the city. Break into his apartment. Watch and observe.

    “Yes,” he says.

    “Guess Pierce was right. This is ironic. Fucking poetic even.” Rumlow snorts. “Barnes is a supersoldier. You’re the only one who can take care of him, isn’t that right, Cap?”

    That is not the Soldier’s designation. He nods anyway.

     

    -
    After the Battle of New York, Captain America refuses to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. and remains in New York. Alexander Pierce activates the Winter Soldier to handle the situation and unknowingly signs Hydra’s death warrant.

    Summary

    Cohabitation is now trial and error. Some days, Bucky tries to console himself by thinking that it was much the same back when Steve moved in with him after Sarah passed. But he knows that was different. The anger had no real bite. Steve’s harsh diatribes were always aimed at his perceived weaknesses rather than Bucky’s clumsy attempts to be sweet on him.

    God help him, he misses that firecracker kid, his bones held together with spite, and he misses the brave monster who walked into hell to pull Bucky out of it.

    And that’s just it, isn’t it? Steve pulled Bucky out of hell, but the stories all say it comes with a price. Steve paid with his life, his soul, and he was a ghost for seventy years and now he’s a wraith, and Bucky wants so badly to breathe him to life, but he doesn’t know how.

    “You haven’t tried to kill me in weeks,” Bucky manages to say, and god, is that his voice? He sounds worn and old, like he’s really in his nineties. He swallows and tries to be stronger. “So yeah, Steve. A reason would be nice.”

    After Insight, after Hydra, Steve and Bucky are a work in progress.

    Summary

    "You don't have to worry about not having good health insurance," Bucky says. "I'll pay. Whatever your treatments cost, I'll pay it." He'd pay anything to save Steve.

    "I can't let you do that," Steve says. "I can't let you drain your savings when we both know I'm going to die eventually anyway."

    "Don't say that," Bucky says. This is a problem. He can solve problems. He solves problems at work all day. That's what he does.

    And then it comes to him. The wonderful, horrible solution to this catastrophe.

    "Let's get married," Bucky blurts out.

    When Steve's heart starts failing, Bucky's gold standard Stark Industries health insurance gets Steve the treatment he needs. But Bucky finds that when you're secretly in love with your (maybe dying) best friend, things get a lot complicated, fast.
