Summary
Steve Rogers hasn’t slept in four days, driven by a single purpose: finding Bucky Barnes. Buried in surveillance files and mission reports, he forces himself to stay awake even as exhaustion claws at him. Every image of the Winter Soldier feels like a punch to the gut, and the silence of the safehouse only sharpens the ache of everything he’s lost.
When a new set of coordinates reveals a blurry glimpse of Bucky on a city street, Steve can’t sit still any longer. He heads out into the cold night, running on desperation and memory, haunted by the man Bucky used to be and terrified of the man he might find now.
But as Steve pushes himself past his limits, he senses a presence watching him.
For the first time, Bucky isn’t just a file or a memory - he’s right there, close enough to touch, yet still impossibly far away. And Steve, on the edge of collapse, can only hope that this time Bucky won’t disappear into the dark.Or:
Steve Rogers needs to find Bucky Barnes.
(I’m really bad at summaries can you tell?)

Summary
Bucky follows Steve to a quiet rooftop, telling himself it’s just to check on him - until he realises the truth is much simpler: he can’t stand being far from the one person who still sees him. Under the city lights, Steve offers honesty, hope, and a kiss that feels like coming home. Bucky isn’t sure he remembers how to be himself, but with Steve beside him, he thinks he might learn.

Summary
"- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"
Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.
After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.
A beat passes.
"What's your teacher's name again?"
AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.

Summary
It's 2016 and Steve Rogers just got rudely dragged out of his relationship with Sharon Carter - Agent 13, while Bucky has been released from hospital after getting the code words programming removed. The two men require each other’s help to get back on their feet in their new lives.
A story about recovery, trauma, healing, love, and creating a new life in the 21st century - with or without each other? Who knows ;)
TW for descriptions of panic attacks, body harm (torture / self harm) and physical trauma. Bucky swears a LOT. In a universe where Thanos never happened and Steve never left Bucky's side
