    Summary

    If Steve was certain one thing would have stayed the same during his sixty-something years in the ice, it was that libraries were still the place to go if you needed information. And Steve needed information. Lots and lots of it.

    ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────

    aka Librarian Bucky helps freshly desfrosted Steve learn how to use computers and catch up on everything he missed whilst he was in the ice. Featuring mutual pining and cute awkwardness.

    Summary

    The asset is programmed not to strike a handler. Not to struggle no matter who is doing what to it. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to shy away when technicians approach torch-first to take it apart and put it back together in the name of science, research, progress. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to object to the mouth guard, the restraints, the chair. Not to beg or plead when it is left empty and hungry in its cryo tube. And it complies. The asset is programmed not to so much as consider harming an operator, the highest of all members of the organization. And...

    And if the silent, liquid fury in the asset’s eyes is any indicator, the asset does not comply.

    (Or: The one where the asset is thawed out during the Chitauri attack on New York, escapes, and goes hunting for revenge with the Avengers hot on the trail.)

    Summary

    The observation takes less than a second, but Rollins is a trained fighter. He immediately seizes the opportunity and starts thrashing to free himself, spitting nearly incoherent defenses that Steve has heard before. The litany is as familiar as breathing and triggers a nauseating flare of familiar disgust.

    They like it. They need it. They don’t mean it when they say ‘no’. It’s just a little fun.

    Doms haven’t changed in over a century.

    Summary

    rara avis
    [rahr-uh ah-vis]
    origin. latin (tevene)
    noun, plural rarae aves
    1. a rare person or thing; rarity.
    2. literal, a rare bird

    When Dr. Alberta Marieve Shaw left work on Christmas Eve, she was planning on a quiet evening at home before heading off to sit on a beach in the Caribbean for a week, but things do not go according to plan. She finds herself in a completely foreign world, unlike anything she has ever experienced. At first, it seems that nothing in her past or training could have prepared her for this, but perhaps she is better suited to this world than she initially thought. She must navigate a war between mages and Templars, the brutality of Thedas itself, and the whims of a powerful Inquisitor to survive and find her way home.
