    Summary

    Steve works in a Brooklyn dive bar. A tall, guarded guy comes in to drink at regular intervals. He always sits in the back corner.
    Steve leaves him alone. He looks like a guy who deserves some peace and quiet.
    He does find out the stranger's name is Bucky.
    Finds out what he likes to drink.
    And little by little, conversation happens. Connection happens.

    Until one day a cock-flock of dudebros comes in (i made up cock-flock, but really, is that not their collective term) and the heckling goes up to eleven once they’re good and drunk. Bucky gets asked to take it outside. Steve will have none of that, thankyouverymuch.
    .
    A tale of love and hope in unlikely places, sprinkled with a bit of PTSD, and the occasional sarcastic quip.

    Summary

    Steve looks for Bucky for a long time.
    But the thing is that Bucky doesn't get found, Bucky finds. Bucky always finds Steve.

    This takes a hard left after the Potomac and stumbles through the dark a lot after. Take a bit of running, the occasional synaptic misfire, the resurfacing of old memories, a dash or two of PTSD, and (eventually) a nice dose of action, stir, and serve over some unresolved issues.

    Summary

    Night shifts in the emergency department are hectic most of the time but Steve loves his job as a nurse. Everything in his life seems to be in order, his Ma's Brownstone is fully restored and he's had Dodger for two years now. Sure he's single, but he can get by on his own just fine. Now if only Natasha would stop nagging Steve about his dating life. Not to mention she's been hooking him up with blind dates, time after time.

    Then this insanely cute guy with luxuriant shoulder length brown hair and crystal clear blue eyes turns Steve's world upside down. It should be illegal for a patient to look that beautiful after coming off the anesthesia. The flirtatious space themed pick-up lines were enough alone.

    “Are those space pants? Because your ass is out of this world.”

    Summary

    It’s Monday morning, and Bucky is just preparing a large mocha, extra whip for one of the many exchange students that have been finding their way into his shop lately, when the little bell above the door rings and a large man carrying a tiny baby in a papoose walks in.

    Summary

    The money he'd stolen from Hydra has almost run out when he finds a black piece of card stock with blocky capital letters stapled to a telephone pole:

    FUNNEL NO. 9

    DO YOU HAVE KNIFE SKILLS?

    WE NEED YOU

    And then below, there's a phone number.

    Knife skills? I have knife skills, he thinks. That part is pretty self-explanatory, though he has no idea what Funnel No. 9 could mean. He doesn't really want to get back into the hitman business, but needs must, and Bucky Barnes is a practical man.
