    Summary

    Steve comes home after returning the stones but he wouldn't say why, only:

    "Got my dance."

    Now Bucky has to figure out if he's the one Steve wants or just what's left.

    Real slow burn, like Nat Shermans.

    (Stand-alone Post-Endgame and Flag-Smasher rewrite.)

    Summary

    John Walker knows three things: he saw Bucky Barnes in Custer's Grove, Bucky Barnes tried to kill him, and Bucky Barnes didn’t kill him.

    Forced together, hunted across state lines, John and Bucky fall into an uneasy partnership built from bruises, motel beds, and conversations neither is ready to have. John’s supposed to be worried about his West Point application. Instead, he’s hiding from Hydra with an ex-assassin who is trying to re-learn the world.

    A road trip about survival, trauma, and the strange, impossible connection forming between a teenage runaway and the man the world calls the Winter Soldier.

    Summary

    John knows that Valentina is manipulating him, but that doesn’t mean he can do anything about it. He’s not just going to let her use him as a pawn in her campaign against Sam Wilson, though.

    When Val changes her strategy from manipulating to threatening, John is forced to make a choice that he really doesn’t want to. Sam hates him, his team hates him, Val hates him, and the public hate him, but somehow he feels like this will only make everything worse.

    Summary

    “I’ve been working with this guy who’s about to be released from the Putnam State Prison.” He finally said. The suspicion returned to John’s eyes. “He’s a good kid, John. He’s just had a real tough go at life. Struggled with addiction, fell in with the wrong crowd.”

    “Bucky—“

    “Non-violent. He was arrested in Atlanta when he was 21. He was working for this dealer that had him on the streets selling drugs and—“ He cut himself off, “Anyway he was sentenced to five years. He’s getting out in a week and he’s lost, John. He’s got nowhere to go. No family, no anything. And I know if he doesn’t have something he’s just gonna go back to his old habits and land himself right back in prison, or worse.”

    “So what, you want me to babysit him?”

    “No, I want you to put him to work.”

    -

    John is a ranch owner struggling to keep up on his own. Bob was just released from prison and needs a job and a place to stay. Bucky thinks they could be good for each other.
