Summary

Summary
After the Thunderbolts, John Walker is trying—therapy, fatherhood, co-parenting, and holding together the life he almost lost. He’s oblivious to the fact that half his new team has adopted him as family… and that Bucky Barnes is very much in love with him.
Between Alexei sneaking casseroles, Yelena heckling like a little sister, Ava’s rare but pointed check-ins, Bob drifting in like a storm front and quieting the room just to stand in John’s orbit (because John’s steady hands and warm hugs anchor the Void better than any drug), and Sam trying to play wingman, John slowly learns he’s allowed to want things for himself.
Bucky just hopes he notices before the whole world figures it out first.
It turns out love isn’t a mission, and family isn’t a unit—it’s a branch that grows, if you let it.

Designation, Restored by AteNanaAo3
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thunderbolts (Movie 2025), The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (TV)
22 Oct 2025

Summary
After the war with Thanos, the once-defunct Dom/Sub “Designation” is resurrected as a cure for chaos. John Walker wants one thing the new order won’t allow: a life where everyone is free to chooses. When a mission declares a bureaucratic “correction” to his identity, his defiance slams into Bucky Barnes’s creed of protection—tender, relentless, and terrifyingly complete.
As the Thunderbolts fracture over what justice looks like, an old ally tightens velvet chains, turning safe houses into cages and “escorts” into moral minefields. Part pursuit, part locked-door intimacy, this story asks whether love can exist without permission—and what it costs to call someone “mine.”

Summary
After missions, John Walker’s fatherly habit of temple-kisses becomes the Thunderbolts’ unspoken ritual—touch-starved teammates lining up for cheeks, hugs, and grounding warmth in their crew-less corner of Avengers Tower. Everyone gets their kiss…except Bucky Barnes. Until Sam points it out, and Bucky asks in front of the whole team.
