Summary
“The good news is, none of the substances any of you were exposed to were particularly dangerous. They were mostly trying to make psychedelic drugs in that little kitchen lab of theirs. That’s why they were growing mushrooms,” said Athena.
“Mostly?” asked Eddie.
“That’s the bad news. They were also trying to formulate an…aphrodisiac.”
When Eddie gets exposed to an experimental aphrodisiac on a call, he realizes there’s only one person he trusts to help him get through it: Buck.

Summary
“Nah, it’s fine, I—“ Wait, what was that? Bucky stopped in his tracks. He’d heard something, something that didn’t fit with the usual ambient clamor of the city, something that had all his instincts on edge.
“Buck? You there? Hello?”
“Yeah, sorry, I just heard something.” A whimper? A baby crying? There it was again, a soft and agonizingly pleading little sound that sounded hurt and scared.
“Shit, it’s the aliens,” said Sam. “Buck, be careful—“
“You literally just said there was no alien invasion situation,” said Bucky absently, turning slowly until he could pinpoint the sound better.
There. A cat—or more accurately, a kitten.
Bucky finds a cat that might be more than it seems. Sam and Bucky find a home together, and that might be more than it seems too.

Summary
“I feel like literally, actually saving the world has given you unrealistic expectations. Most folks don’t need you to save the entire world on the regular, Sam," said Sarah.
“I hear you,” said Sam, rueful. He sighed and tipped his head back, pressing the heels of his hands against his eyes. “But I still kind of feel like I have to save the entire world, if I’m carrying this shield.”
“Sam,” said Bucky, and Sam lowered his hands and opened his eyes to look at him, only to find himself the subject of Bucky’s staring problem yet again. “Let’s just go out there. See who we can help, how."
Taking on the Captain America mantle is all well and good, but unfortunately, it quickly becomes pretty obvious to Sam that carrying the shield doesn't guarantee a paying gig as a superhero—at least, not any kind of job that fits with the kind of Cap Sam wants to be. But when it comes down to it, all Sam wants to do is use the shield to help people, so paying gig or not, he and Bucky set out on the road to do just that, and to figure out what kind of superheroes they want to be. Slowly but surely, they figure out just what kind of partners they want to be too. (Hint: it is not 'just a couple of guys.')

Summary
"I thought Halloween was October 31st…?” said Bucky, peering over at the kitchen calendar to check. “Yeah, it’s October 31st.”
“Ignore the calendar,” Sam ordered Bucky. “Halloween is a month-long holiday if you do it right!”
After years of missing out on Halloween with his nephews, Sam was determined to do Halloween right this year. If that meant coaxing Bucky into joining the Halloween celebrations too, complete with a Wilson family group costume, so much the better. The fact that this would involve spending a lot of time sharing all the wonders of the Halloween season with Bucky was just a fun benefit that definitely didn't have anything to do with Sam's growing feelings for his partner and housemate.

Summary
“A version of Steve from the future—some 70-odd years from the future, actually—came to give me this letter, tell me to save you, and also about how to save half of the entire universe from genocide.”
Barnes blinks at Peggy in total silence for a moment. His mouth opens, then closes, then opens again.
“What.”
“I told you it would be quite unbelievable.”
How Peggy Carter finds love twice over, saves two super soldiers, becomes a super soldier herself, time travels, defeats HYDRA, and saves the universe, not necessarily in that order.
