Summary: The Pierce Memorial Hospital had a reputation. Amongst medical professionals it was the height of modern care, an example for all psychiatric centres to aspire to. Steve had mostly heard the other rumours though, the ones from the inpatients. Be careful what ya say. Do as you’re told. If you don’t they’ll send you to Hydra. No one ever came back from Hydra, they said.

 

All Steve knew was that Abraham must have pulled in a whole heap of favours to get him this appointment, and he absolutely could not screw this up. But it’s only a matter of time before Steve comes across the hospital’s most secluded patient. Bucky Barnes, Pierce’s skittish nephew, and Steve’s missing lover.

 

When Steve had failed to follow him across to sea, to fight for freedom in someone else’s country, he’d thought there were only two options, that either Bucky would come back to him, or he would die, now he realised that there was a third option. The Hydra.

Summary:
 

It’s been two years since Bucky was medically discharged from the Army. It’s been two years and three months since he was taken captive as a POW.

 

Will Bucky’s PTSD let him live a normal life? If recovery isn’t linear, what about when it feels like a hurricane, when it chews him up and spits him out without a second glance? Bucky feels like he’s getting the hang of this college thing, but what about the man he keeps running into? Why does he feel a connection to him, when he shouldn’t be thinking about dating, not yet, not this soon?

 

Wherein Bucky learns that some threads never break, and acceptance can be found if you know where to look.

Summary: Steve’s heart breaks when Bucky turns 18 and his Gift emerges: he’s a Voyager, blessed with long life and the irresistible urge to travel the universe. Voyagers, Steve knows, don’t usually come back once they leave. Steve’s happy that Bucky will get to leave Terra IV, their shithole of a planet, to explore his beloved stars. But he isn’t sure what he’ll do once Bucky’s gone and he’s left behind.

Bucky does come back, at the exact moment Steve needs him to, and makes a decision that changes Steve irrevocably and alters the course of both their futures, before disappearing. Steve tries to adjust to his new life as he searches the cosmos for Bucky. When the looming shadow in his prophetic dreams threatens to consume Bucky, he’s terrified that he’s already too late.

Summary:
Steve wakes up on the cold stone floor of the foyer. He scrambles up; there’s glass shards everywhere and they crunch under his gloved hands. People are staring, holding themselves back. They must have seen the fight, must have seen two of him.

His own voice rings in his head.

“Bucky is alive!”

It’s all gone FUBAR in 2012.

Summary: Steve Rogers died saving the universe and bringing back the dusted, leaving Bucky behind to mourn and self-destruct. Despite the efforts of the team to help him heal, he enters a downward spiral of hurt and despair that affects everyone around him.

Six months later, when things finally seem to be getting better, a visitor arrives that throws his still-fragile world sideways, and maybe, just possibly, gives him hope that not all is what it seems..
