Summary: Bucky hasn’t spoken to anyone in 500 years. They don’t see him, pass through him, like he isn’t even there, and he supposes he isn’t. He’s a door closing of its own accord, a cold spot by the fireplace; he’s a ghost, stuck within the castle grounds, and he’s made his peace with that.

Steve knows everything about the castle. He’s spent his entire life studying it, and now he gets to work in it, imparting his knowledge on the visitors who pass through every day.

When Steve talks to Bucky, the first person in 500 years, Bucky knows that Steve is special. He just can’t imagine how special he truly is, and how Steve might be the key to helping him move on, in one way or another.

Summary: "Steve Rogers, keeper of the light, is used to being alone. He spends his days running the lighthouse, tending to his errant chickens, and sketching the endless passing waves. One dangerous night brings an injured soldier into his quarters that remembers nothing about his past, and Steve finds himself helplessly devoted to getting Bucky some answers. Will his life of solitude ever be the same, or will he open his home and his heart to a mysterious stranger?

 

Or, Lighthouse Keeper Steve rescues Captain Bucky Barnes and nurses him back to health as he tries to regain his memories. Featuring lots of snuggles, far too many maritime facts, and good ol’ Steve Rogers’ fighting spirit, just for flavor."
