I went away and came back to find my Steve and Bucky action figures doing this!

  1. Summary

    This is an AU that branches off from canon to explore what life would be like for Steve and Bucky if they both set aside being superheroes to just live their lives as the best men they can be.

    Proving that you don’t need a super-serum to be a hero, and you don’t need to fight supervillains to make a difference.

    I’ll be adding to this on an irregular basis, just moments and time stamps and soft!Stucky in a civilian retirement world populated by people who care.

    Summary

    The man Howard Stark discovers in the ice cannot be Captain America: that role has already been taken.

    There is only one mission Steve Rogers 1.0 is interested in: saving Bucky. What happens when he accomplishes the task in record time? They follow rivers across the Eastern Bloc to discover, with the help of new friends, which purpose ghosts can serve, and whether things left unsaid in a previous life are easier to confess the second time around.

    (Despite being #2 in a series, can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    Steve and Bucky are lying in the hayloft of a barn on an abandoned farm somewhere outside of Vittel. They’re trying to keep quiet because the odds are about even that there are Hydra soldiers in the immediate vicinity. Even though it’s doubtful that the Hydra goons have Steve’s enhanced superserum hearing, the late October night outside is still and cold, and any noise they make could travel a decent distance across the barren fields.

    Earlier this afternoon, the Howlies pulled a successful raid on a known Hydra base just outside Nancy, some miles north of here. They killed the CO and his staff and made off with a nice-size cache of Hydra weapons, a box of gold bullion and uncut diamonds, and a small, mysterious trunk with strange designs on it.

    They were in the process of blowing up the base (merci fuckin beaucoup, Dernier!) when the mission started to go to shit.

    Summary

    The Asset stands motionless on the roof next to the apartment where his target is hiding. His gun is at the ready and his eyes are focused on the windows, looking for any sign of life from the living room. He’s already completed his assessment of the environs and he’ll wait as long as necessary to complete his mission, which is Level 6.

     

    Kill Nick Fury.

    Summary

    “What happened,” Steve says after a few minutes.

    “Scratched it on the fence while I was doing some recon,” replies Bucky shortly, kicking his boots into the soft earth under the leaves. “It’ll be fine. But I need your help with this one.”

    “Who or what is in there,” asks Steve, resisting the urge to run his hand down Bucky’s uninjured thigh.

    “It’s Rumlow and one of my old handlers,” says Bucky softly, and Steve says “motherfucker” under his breath. “They arrived last night by helicopter. It’s still there, on a pad behind the warehouse, northwest corner. And we need to take this depot out too. There are no trucks at the bays but there are thirty or forty semis inside, full of weapons and other materials to restart Hydra cells in the Northeast.”

    Steve says “motherfucker” again, this time a little louder.

    “This is pretty big, bigger than the Berkshires,” he says after a moment of silence. “Should we get the Avengers involved? They’ve got the extra firepower, and Tony…”

    “No,” says Bucky sharply, cutting Steve off. He can’t see it, but Steve knows his love is frowning under his mask. “I need to take care of this now.“
