Summary:

A Choose Your Own Adventure tale where Sam Wilson goes back home to be there for the birth of his second nephew, AJ. Bucky may or may not be tagging along.

EXCERPT:

Sam Wilson walked through the streets of London, watching the jarring mix of new and old; buildings hundreds of years old and newly created; wide gridded streets and narrow, winding alleyways.

Sam had been to many cities in his search for Bucky Barnes.

Well.

He had been to many cities as he visited Bucky Barnes, really.

Sam found him the first time around.

Lounging in a hole in the wall deep in the heart of Prague.

Low lighting; his face only lit really by a candle on the small booth he sat at.

Intense eyes on Sam.

Sipping on something Bucky would later say was a Czech Mule; a fascinating cocktail that tasted like Christmas.

Bucky hadn't been ready for Steve to know where he was then.

Sam doubted he was now.

And.

Sam was a little selfish. He liked his days with Bucky. He liked talking with him. He like - he liked getting to know the man. And there was part of Sam that just wanted to keep it that way.

A little bubble.

Only for Sam and Bucky.
