    Summary

    “What about you, Barnes?” asks Dugan. The sound of his voice brings Bucky back to the present, dredges him out of memories of a beat-up little apartment with sunlight streaming in through the windows. “Got yourself a girl waiting for you back home?”

    There’s an answer on the tip of his tongue, one that he’ll deliver with a cocky grin and a half-laugh and a little shake of his head. But Bucky is exhausted and hungry and so sore it hurts to move, and one of the guys in their platoon fucking died yesterday. His mouth tastes like iodine water and his feet hurt and none of it’s going to get better any time soon, and all at once Bucky misses Steve so badly he can barely see straight.

    “Yeah,” Bucky declares abruptly, the word escaping from his mouth before he fully realizes what he’s saying. “Yeah, I do.”

     
    [This fic presents a self-contained story that can easily be read on its own. If desired, however, it can also be read as a prequel to "Reconstruction Site" and "Amidst the Rubble". It takes place chronologically first but was written third.]

    Summary

    Summary

    From the kinkmeme: http://avengerkink.livejournal.com/16524.html?thread=37295244#t37295244

    After the battle in New York, there's a renewed flood of public interest in Captain America. Steve's OK doing some publicity here and there, but not really comfortable at all being a "dancing monkey" all the time. Sometimes he'd like to be anonymous again, able to just walk down the street and blend in.

    He turns to Bruce, who has years of experience blending into a crowd. Bruce helps Steve "schlub up" and teaches him some tricks for not standing out. They start going out into the city together to test it out, and as they do, they end up having a really good time together. Enough that they keep doing "test runs" that start to feel suspiciously more and more like "dates"... eventually Bruce/Steve ensues.

    Summary

    “Ye of little faith.” Steve was feeling...not quite defensive, but a little unappreciated, even though the exaggerated ribbing was, in the end, true. “I got you guys out. By myself, with what Phillips referred to as a garbage-can lid. I can learn on the job.”

    Some things have to be taught.

    Summary

    Written for a prompt on avengerkink:

    I want to see something where, for whatever reason, Steve's accelerated healing turns out to be a bad thing. Something where the faster healing is making things worse. I would prefer something other than the standard, super-healing allows for more torture without death.

    “He's lucky – to have the serum, to have you all.” Tony wasn't sure about that first part.

    When one faced death and destruction every day on the job, there were many advantages to having a healing factor...and a great many disadvantages as well.

    Summary

    'Why can't I seem to die?'

     

    The thought floated through Steve's swirling mind, and he started to laugh through his tears. God he was a mess, but suddenly he couldn't stop laughing. Steve Rogers, the premature infant, the sickly boy, the stubborn asshole couldn't seem to die. It wasn't like he was holding onto life particularly hard. His Ma was the strongest person he ever met, and even she was gone first. Why was he still here? Why on earth did he deserve to be here in place of anyone else that had died before him?

    -----

    Captain America. The myth. The legend. The mask.

    But what about Steve Rogers? What about the suffering young man who took up the mantle? What about the man who believes he deserves nothing less than to die?

    Summary

    Bucky hasn’t seen his own soul mark in seven years, not since a doctor sawed off his left arm to save his life. So it’s a little bit of a shock when he walks into Stark Tower and sees at least a dozen people with his soul mark proudly emblazoned on their skin.

    And that’s how Bucky finds out he’s soulmates with Captain fucking America.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers’s patriotic eyebrows jump up. “Holy cow.”

    That was not what Tony would have expected from Captain America. “‘Holy cow’? Did the history books mess up? Was your family actually from India and not Ireland?”

    “Fuck off, Stark. I ain’t shitting on what comes out of your mouth, so you better leave my goddamn cows alone as well.”

    Tony doesn’t know whether to feel awestruck or betrayed. “You,” he says and points at Rogers, “are nothing like I expected.”

    “Sorry to be a fucking disappointment,” Rogers says with a scowl and pulls his ridiculous helmet on, covering the sleekly styled brown hair. It was astonishing how even Rogers’s golden hair had been false propaganda -- but of course the great America had wanted to present its figurehead as Aryan perfection in the time of eugenics. “Suit up, everyone. Let’s get this shit done.”

Will a heart to heart with her mother and a chance meeting at the break in the mountains ease her mind?
