    Summary

    It’s not the first time Bucky’s woken up in a strange room with no memory of how he got there, no knowledge of where he is, and no way to get out. It won’t be the last, either. But not everything here is what it seems. And escaping this place may be the least of Bucky’s worries.

    Somewhere between amending and avenging, there is this. Bucky, trying to do the right(est) thing. And Sam, right there with him.

    Summary

    On the outs with Sam and just about everyone else after a mission gone badly wrong, Bucky travels, and wanders, and drifts right into a group of other drifters, fitted together by a shared sense of never quite fitting in anywhere else.

    And a partner/coworker/guy with a mutual friend-less Sam finds himself doing some wandering too, trying to unravel the mystery of that mission gone wrong. Wondering if, by chance, his path might cross again with that former partner/coworker/guy with a mutual friend.

    It does. Of course it does. It’s like gravity between them, an inexorable pull they can’t escape, no matter how hard they try.

    Summary

    Usually that look of distrust, of distaste, is rooted in the Galra blood. In the near-expectation people have that one day he’s going to lose himself to it.

    But he’s never had them look at him like this because of his father, before. Because he dares to call himself human, because he dared to survive.

    It’s worse. Somehow, this is so much worse.

    Summary

    “What can you tell me about how you got to know the Winter Soldier?”

    Wilson chuckles. “The first time I met Buck—Sergeant Barnes—he ripped the steering wheel out of the car I was driving on the freeway. He got on the roof, punched through the windshield, pulled the steering wheel off. Just like that.” He mimes with his hands as he describes it.

    This doesn’t sound like an auspicious beginning to me, but Wilson is laughing.
