Summary
A few years out of the ice, now, and Steve’s adjusting to the modern world. He likes Thai food. He hates discrimination and inequality and also the subway at rush hour. He’s learned to live his life, generally, and is fairly content with what he expects tomorrow will bring.
He does not, by any means, expect James Buchanan Barnes.
Because James Buchanan Barnes is an Army Major sitting in Tony’s lab for a fitting of a Stark prosthetics prototype, and he is the most beautiful man, no: the most beautiful human being Steve has ever seen. And suddenly, Steve has to square with falling in love, hard and fast and all-consuming, with a person who fits into Steve’s life, who curls around Steve’s soul like he was made for it, and who might break Steve’s heart without ever meaning to, just because he’s a normal, precious, mortal man—and the serum quite likely made Steve something else.
Or: Steve Rogers never thought he’d live past 25. Now, he has to make peace with quite possibly living a hell of a lot longer, and losing the love of his life in the process.

Summary
James Barnes thinks he has relatively normal life. He has a job (security at the Wakandan embassy) and a house and some hobbies. Sure, he shares a name with the famous (now dead) international assassin and he just woke up from a coma with no arm or memory of his past life - but everyone has their quirks, right? Nonetheless, James can’t shake the feeling he was meant for more than this. When he discovers he has superpowers, James finds himself taking on the mantle of vigilante and finds himself face to face with a masked superhuman named Nomad.
Where did James get his superpowers? Why can't he remember his past? Why is he so drawn to Nomad's blue eyes? And how does Steve Rogers play into all of this?
Featuring: a superhero's origin, a love story, and a happy ending.

Summary
Steve doesn’t like bullies, on principle. It's less about justice, or decency, or righteous indignation; more about the look in the eyes of the people getting stepped on, the people getting trampled, the people getting lost.
So it cuts all the deeper, when Steve recognizes strength, precision, endurance, capacity: sees the pieces of himself not born but made, reflected in this body, this person, this weapon: the Winter Soldier.
It slices through Steve’s soul when he returns the Soldier's gaze, and reads the only thing that lives in the deadness that pervades behind those irises in the night.
It’s not You can’t beat me.
It’s more You can’t stop them.
For the prompt: The AU where Steve Rogers sees the best in everyone, and it is that quality that brings him back the person he loves most in the world; where Steve reaches out to help the Winter Soldier on principle, but when the muzzle-mask comes off, he finds Bucky Barnes.

Summary
“They lied to you. I lied to you. You died like you were supposed to and that was the end of it. But you’re back,” Bucky’s voice lifts helpless, disbelieving, “You’re alive. And you need to know. That you’re not who you think you are. You’re an orphan. Your mother gave you up the day you were born. They found you in the orphanage and the tests started right away. They never stopped testing you. They made you sick so you’d find a way to survive. They sent the bullies so you’d learn to fight.”
“What are you talking about? Who’s ‘they’?” Steve’s voice is too sharp.
“Erskine. Zola. Hydra before it was Hydra,” Bucky gestures through the air, “They’ve always had us, Steve. From day one.” His eyes focus on Steve’s face, “You’ve always been a science experiment.”
“Bucky,” Steve voice is dismayed, “That doesn’t— Why would they make me sick?”
Bucky looks at him for a second. “Blond hair, blue eyes. You had all the right ingredients. But Erskine knew it was what was inside that counted,” Bucky knocks two fingers against his chest and Steve realizes they’re shaking, “He didn’t just find a guy who would jump on a grenade, Steve,” Bucky’s eyebrows lift, “He made one.”

Summary
“Holy shit,” Howard says, crackling through the speakers. “You alive in there?” Lying is a sin, of course, but Steve’s not sure what else he can do. He’s already lied to the government and Bucky and God Almighty; and himself, himself most of all. He ought to tell the truth. That he’s not quite what they hoped for. That perhaps they should put him back into the ocean.
“Probably,” he says, instead, listening to Howard’s tinny laughter; and waits for the blast doors to unlock.
[There is now an incredible podfic of this story here, please listen & give quietnight some love.]
