    Summary

    That seems to be the thing that breaks the ice between them; Bucky's never really hung out with Sam before, past being jammed into a too-small car for six hours and then two uncomfortable months in a safehouse trying not to get on each other’s last nerve. Now they’re getting lunch or coffee every few days. Sam falls asleep on Bucky’s couch three more times. Bucky joins him and Steve a couple of times on their morning run.

    He doesn’t notice, is the thing; doesn’t notice how ever since Sam slept on his couch that night he’s been letting Bucky closer bit by bit, that as Bucky’s been wondering about the boundaries and structures of friendship, Sam’s been drawing in.

    Summary

    “I won’t laugh.” Bucky straightens out both his back and his expression and scoots closer, knee colliding with Sam’s own. He keeps it there; it feels hot and solid, even through the kevlar. “C’mon, I promise. Just tell me.”

    Sam turns it over in his head for a long moment. Swallows hard. Rubs his palms across his thighs.

    “Okay,” he says, looking away. “Do you believe in ghosts, man?”

    Bucky laughs, the asshole.

    Sam has been haunted all his life. This is the first time he's ever thought of telling anyone about it.

    Summary

    “Oh, but you can send me into the barriers?! Fuck you, Hamilton, leave me alone.”

    Lewis gapes at him. “Max, I was penali-”

    “You still won! You still won and nobody criticised you for it because you’re the great Lewis Hamilton, but when I so much as set a foot wrong…”

    “Max, your tyre touched my helmet. I could feel your car on top of my head. You brake tested me. Do you know how dangerous that is?!”

    “AND EVERYONE HATES ME FOR IT! THEY WISH I’D JUST DIED IN SILVERSTONE! LEWIS, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW IT FEELS WHEN EVERYONE’S ROOTING AGAINST YOU AND WANTS YOU OUT OF THE SPORT, BECAUSE YOU’RE THEIR POSTER CHILD, SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

    or: Max only joins F1 in 2017 and is subsequently adopted by Lewis Hamilton. Which makes their championship battle all the more difficult for both of them; and both have to cope. One way or another.

    Summary

    I have been silent too long. Seventeen years—seventeen years, two months, sixteen days, if I count this cycle. For longer than Julian lived in these worlds, I have suppressed these desires. I must speak. He must know. This Tantalean torment cannot continue. I cannot baulk now, closer to actualisation of the fantasy than I’ve ever dared to fantasise of being, in a more favourable circumstance than I ever would have countenanced, with a confession on the tip of my tongue.

    I must know.
