    Summary

    Bucky's dog tags were folded in the crease of the paper he'd torn from his journal, reading: "Steve, here. You have them, if you want them. You have me, if you want me. I’ve never tried loving a man before but for you I’ve run headfirst into wars and Death’s wide, gaping jaws, so this is easy in comparison. This is like breathing."

     


    It was so dark when Bucky handed him the note, the fire just burning out, and he glanced back only once to see Steve watching him as he walked away.

    Summary

    “I’m not worth all that. Not worth your life.”

    “You’re worth everything to me.” And there it is, the secret truth. There’s no way to interpret it as anything but what it is. Steve’s heart, held out in his hands. The one that didn’t work right, ugly all over from damage. The one that was Bucky’s first, has always been Bucky’s. They say his new one is perfect, but he knows the truth. Even if they fixed everything else, they can’t fix this. Every inch of his heart, scarred with Bucky’s name. Over and over and over.

    Summary

    Steve and Bucky have to pose as a couple for a mission. Nat insists it really is the only option. She's checked.

    The complication: unbeknownst to even Natasha, Steve and Bucky's friendship has been rocky ever since Bucky confessed his tender feelings and Steve left him out in the cold. Can asexual, completely-in-love-with-his-angry-best-friend Steve complete the mission and win Bucky's heart?

    (The answer is yes. Yay!)

    Summary

    Bucky wasn't getting better.
    He was trying, Steve knew. God knows, he knew.
    Bucky still didn't talk. And it broke Steve's heart a little bit more every day.
    Catatonia, Sam had said. Maybe dissociation.
    Fancy words, sure, but none of it changed the fact that Bucky was lost so deep inside himself that Steve couldn't find him.
    Steve might never find him.
    On darker days Steve wondered if he was even there at all.
