    Summary

    “You should take a hint,” Bucky says. “Or better yet, take this as an instruction manual—” He gestures broadly at the bodies littering the floor. “—and put a bullet in my fucking brain.”

    “Bucky!” It’s grief and a flash of anger, and Bucky’s face tightens, lips a thin, furious line. “Buck, please. I don’t—I can’t imagine what you’re going through. But you don’t have to do it alone. Come with me. Come home.”

    There’s a moment, so brief that Steve will never know whether he imagined it, when Bucky looks tempted, when he softens, the stark lines of his face mellowing into something warm and helpless. And then it’s gone and blazing blue eyes bore into Steve.

    “To hell,” Bucky enunciates very clearly, voice steady with unnatural calm, “with you and your savior complex. Go find another lost cause, Captain.”

    It’s that title, barbed and deliberate and bitingly impersonal, that does it.

    The anger that was a quiet spark roars into an inferno.

    Softly, with bared teeth, Steve says, “Get fucked, Barnes.”

    “Do it yourself, motherfucker.”

    -
    Steve and Bucky accidentally fuck their way into domestic bliss.

    Summary

    That spring Steve hears a lot about what’s big in algebraic topology from Mary as she talks a mile a minute in the car passenger seat, across the dinner table, under worn-out beach umbrellas or climbing up him like he’s still her favorite jungle gym though she’s almost too big now. What he gathers mostly is that, in order to classify shapes, mathematicians spend a lot of time trying to distinguish between differences that matter and those that don’t.

    And isn’t that the trick in life, thinks Steve: figuring out what matters.

    (Doesn’t help in explaining Bucky, though, but he’s not sure what would.)

     

    Or: Steve as the single dad from Gifted and Bucky as the DJ from Monday. Sort of.

    Summary

    Steve’s grip tightens on his arm, bracing for the fragile moment to break, but what Bucky says is, “Did you mean it?” with his chin tucked to his chest. “You still mine tonight?”

    Steve’s startled laugh bounces off the cobblestones. He knows from Bucky’s glower, the color high on his cheeks, that whatever game he’s playing at, Steve isn’t following the rules.

    “I’m sorry!” he says, tugging Bucky back to his body. Quieter, with their faces so close, “I’m sorry. But Jesus Christ, Buck, that was a stupid question.”

    Summary

    It's not a mark or a thread that distinguishes a soulmate; instead, it's a physical sensation, a bio-resonant connection—a rhythm to your breath, a cadence in your blood, the echo of an extra pulse inside your chest that proves your heart's not quite beating by itself, anymore; that it was always waiting for a matching set of notes to make a melody, and now it's singing, now it's soaring. Now you're whole.

    But when what you've got is a pair of tricky lungs, faulty blood, and a bum ticker, it doesn't matter how strong your soul is: the harmony will barely rise above a whisper, the resonance will almost always strike too weak. So it's no one's fault, really, if a person misses the fact that his soulmate's standing right in front of him.

    It's no one's fault if it takes the better part of a century to finally see.

    Summary

    Dr. Bucky Barnes is a plastic surgeon, highly regarded in his field. Dr. Steven Rogers, new head of the ER, has very little regard for Dr. Barnes or his field.

    May contain: Hospital drama-romance-comedy. (Dromance? Dramamance? Romandromancedy.) Cheeky residents. People who are competent at everything but romance. Stupidly muscular forearms.

    Content Warnings:
    Descriptions of medical procedures and surgery, particularly for burn patients as well as injured children. I tried to make it not totally gross.
