    Summary

    When Sam was fifteen, he started feeding the local stray cats after school. His favorite was the neighborhood psychopath, an old black and white female with a tattered ear who liked to leave the remains of murdered lizards around the food bowl in what Sam could only assume was a threat. He named her Miss Lola, and the one and only time he attempted to scratch behind her ears resulted in a spitting, howling ball of feline fury going right for his face.

    “You keep feeding her,” his mother said as she unsympathetically disinfected the cuts, “she’s going to keep coming around, and that makes you responsible for her.”

    “I mean, does it?” he said, and then barely swallowed a yelp as she dumped rubbing alcohol onto his open wounds.

    The joke was on him because when he opened the door to find Bucky with a duffle bag slung over his shoulder, Sam said, “Most people call before showing up on someone’s doorstep.”

    In which Bucky is the stray cat that Sam, despite knowing better, keeps feeding.

    Summary

    "Mm, see, but you don't actually know that," James says, shaking his head, but looking amused. "Not until you taste this. You might hate it."

    "I've been your audience, though. I've been right here watching you make all that," Steve protests, grinning. "I've seen your cooking focus and how you use your hands and everything. There's no way this won't be amazing."

    There's a pause after Steve's words. It's probably a very brief and barely noticeable pause, but it feels long and mortifying to Steve as he plays his own last few sentences back in his head.

    "Glad you think I'm good with hands," James eventually says, ending Steve's misery, but making him flush even redder.

    (Or: Natasha hires a private chef to cook Steve's birthday dinner. Steve's not too sure about the idea of a total stranger in his apartment on his birthday, but Chef James is incredibly attractive and very charming. He also seems oddly familiar. That might just be because Steve has met him before.)

    Summary

    Six months after escaping Hydra and securing a pardon from the U.S. government for his service and heroism during World War II, Bucky’s desperately trying to dissociate from his alter ego and put his life back together so he can find some semblance of peace. When his court-mandated therapist orders him to attend an art therapy class to deal with his trauma, Bucky’s sure he’s going to hate it. Steve, the initially grumpy, high-strung course instructor pushes all of Bucky’s buttons, but he’s also smart, disarmingly funny, and remarkably kind. Although he feels like he’s been painted into a corner, Bucky wonders if Steve can help him find his way out and discover a reason to live again.

    Summary

    “What’s the plural for a group of Steves?” asks Natasha, and it’s weirdly comforting that the question has a hint of whimsical hysteria to it. Good, Bucky’s not the only one who’s not dealing well with all of this.

    “A clusterfuck,” he says. “A clusterfuck of Steves.”

    Despite how little sense his life has made since he got on a battlefield to fight a bunch of aliens, Bucky's pretty sure he knows exactly what's happened when a much older Steve appears after the mission to return the Infinity Stones: he left Bucky behind to get his much deserved happily ever after in the past. Only then another Steve shows up, and another. And Bucky realizes he still hasn't got any idea what's going on.

    What he does have is a whole lot of Steves, a fraught relationship with his own Steve, and tentative plans to leave. But the more Bucky talks to all these different versions of Steve, the more he begins to wonder if leaving really is what's best for him and his Steve, or if there's a way to make something new out of their long friendship.
