Summary
Margaret and Phillip Buckley were on holiday in Greece when they got the news of Daniel’s leukaemia. The next day, Margaret prayed to the Gods – ones she didn’t believe in – to protect and save her child. To bless them.
Her prayer was answered.
She’d just never specified which child she wanted blessed.

(i.e. Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses are real. Buck is blessed by the Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth, Home and Sacrifice.)

Summary
Sam and Bucky don't like Spider-Man. At least, not until they meet Peter Parker. Then they realize that they've definitely met this kid before. And someone's been messing with their memories.
or,
the end of No Way Home has been plaguing my subconscious for three years and I've finally decided to stop it through the power of fanfiction, so have some hurt/comfort in the form of Bucky and Sam's "Best Uncle" instincts.Series

Summary
What good was a man without a family? A soldier without an army? A ghost with no one to haunt?
— # —
Retired SAS Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley is perfectly content with his cottage overlooking the ocean. It's quiet, peaceful, and, most importantly, no one can hear how he screams after his nightmares.
At least, until a fucking mermaid shows up and reminds a dead man walking what it is to live again.

What if Ghost chose his call sign? What if the reason for that is because he can see ghosts himself? What if he is haunted by them until they can cross over to whatever place they should go?

Summary
“I had scoliosis,” Peter whispered, not looking away from where they’d heard the metal snap. He had gone pale. Bucky was sure he was a few shades lighter, himself. “That’s… that’s what I was gonna say before."
“Yeah?” Bucky asked. He loosened his grip on Peter’s shoulder, but didn’t take his hand away.
“My back still hurts sometimes,” Peter explained quietly. “But that might be because of the swinging. Hard to find a strong enough chiropractor to crack it, you know? Maybe… maybe two thousand tons of concrete would do it, though.” Bucky leveled his gaze at the kid. Peter looked back at him, swallowing hard.
“Let’s call that Plan B, okay?” Bucky suggested.
“Yeah, okay,” Peter mumbled.

Or, Peter gets caught in the collapse of a parking garage with a (mildly) concussed Bucky Barnes, and has a nice get-to-know-you sesh with our favorite super soldier while waiting for Tony to find a safe way get them out. Super chill, right? Everything's fine. Oh- and he's been impaled by two rods of rebar and can't move without risking bleeding out. That... complicates things.

Summary
And then it was silent. Just dust particles drifting through the air and panting breaths as everyone studied to broken landscape. A meaningless, random moment of silence embedded in a battle. Except this one didn’t end. A single snap, just as before. And again, nothing would be the same.
Lieutenant Rhodes landed next to Tony. Steve heard the powering down whirl of two suits. One weaker than the other, running out of energy reserves. A miscalculation.
----
Steve reflects on Tony's life and his legacy and what he must do to uphold both.

Summary
When Odysseus went to kill the suitors, he was only consumed by rage and bloodlust. Only feeling the type of ruthlessness that would make a god beg. When all was done, he got rid of every single body in the palace alone by hand. Only after that was done did he go to his wife.
And only after that was done did he realize he killed one too many men.
