Summary
He was still asleep, chest shiny from sweat; his torso moved slowly like a half-dead frog. In the dawn light, he seemed monstrous. I dressed quickly and left before he could wake, before his eyes could probe into me and ransack my mind.
In which David does some much-needed self-reflection.

Summary
“I do not care for games, Mr. Moriarty—though I imagine you know that as well.”
“But you are capable of playing them.”
“Rather,” Mycroft said. “I know that you are propositioning me because you cannot have him.”
Moriarty faltered, just for a second. “Perhaps I simply aspire to the set.”
It was Mycroft’s turn to smile. “And you do not believe achieving that is possible. You are more transparent than you think.”

Summary
“True physical fitness means freedom from disease and from defects—a state which may be reached through willpower, training, and self-discipline. Those who complain that they are weak, that they are incapable of acts of strength, are sick, but not in the body: they are psychologically deficient, lacking in the spirit and courage that in the true American man can overcome all.
Steve reads an article condemning American men who are unfit to enlist. Bucky gets angry about it.

Summary
“Henry Montague,” he finally says into my hair, “I am never letting you out of my sight again.” He pulls away just enough to cradle my face in his hands, taking me in again. “You always come back missing pieces.”
“The leg isn’t missing. Just broken,” I correct. Percy’s laugh is watery. “Though I’m still not the most steady on it so…”
“Oh, Jesus, sorry.” Percy pulls away and helps me to the nearest trunk to sit on. He stands over me and kisses the top of my head, then leans his forehead against mine. “You have to tell me everything. Starting with what happened to your leg.”
I slide my arms around his waist, putting as little space between us as possible. “I will, I promise. There’s something else I want to talk to you about first, though.”
“Now?”
“Yes. It’s important.”
“Something more important than your broken leg?”
Finally reunited with Percy after his travels with Adrian, Monty has something to ask Percy and isn't wasting any time.

Summary
He must doze off sitting up, because the next thing he knows there's a big hand cupping his face with gentle care and Steve's voice crooning, "Bucky, Bucky, hey, Buck."
He blinks once, twice, and Steve's face resolves itself in front of him. Even his face is different.
"Stevie, what did you do to yourself?" he says.
"It's a long story," says Steve.

Summary
“What is all this?”
“Keys to Steve’s place in Brooklyn, and his motorcycle. Some records about his, ah, accounts and things. He—well, he hasn’t been declared officially dead, we can’t, you know, say anything about the time travel, but—”
“He’s not coming back,” says Bucky, before Banner has to try to couch it softly, or spare Bucky’s assumed feelings. It’s a courtesy Bucky doesn’t need. His feelings have seemed very far away since Steve left. “I know.”
"Yeah, so, uh, I just figured you should have all this."
Bucky is doing fine after the Blip. He has his amends, he has his exit strategies, he goes to therapy. Steve's gone, but that's fine, Bucky can deal with that, even if he can't deal with feeling like a ghost in the apartment that Steve left behind. But when Steve returns, they'll both have to deal with how to rebuild a friendship and a home that are haunted by the ghosts of who they used to be. Their methods of doing so are perhaps less than ideal, what with how they involve more sex and stealthy surprise interior decoration than any actual communication. Maybe that's all they need to make a new home together.

Summary
“What’s the plural for a group of Steves?” asks Natasha, and it’s weirdly comforting that the question has a hint of whimsical hysteria to it. Good, Bucky’s not the only one who’s not dealing well with all of this.
“A clusterfuck,” he says. “A clusterfuck of Steves.”
Despite how little sense his life has made since he got on a battlefield to fight a bunch of aliens, Bucky's pretty sure he knows exactly what's happened when a much older Steve appears after the mission to return the Infinity Stones: he left Bucky behind to get his much deserved happily ever after in the past. Only then another Steve shows up, and another. And Bucky realizes he still hasn't got any idea what's going on.
What he does have is a whole lot of Steves, a fraught relationship with his own Steve, and tentative plans to leave. But the more Bucky talks to all these different versions of Steve, the more he begins to wonder if leaving really is what's best for him and his Steve, or if there's a way to make something new out of their long friendship.
