Summary
Shane’s jaw drops. “Rozanov?”
Jesus Christ. He hasn’t seen Rozanov since the Olympics, which was five years ago. As far as he knew— because he’d never actually learned where the fuck Rozanov disappeared to— Rozanov had stayed in Russia instead of coming back to the USA to play out the rest of his contract with Boston.
And yet, here he is. In fucking Florida, in a fucking tattoo shop.
After securing his third Cup with the Metros, Shane makes an appointment at a reputable studio in Florida to commemorate the win with a tattoo.
His tattoo artist is Ilya Rozanov.

Such a good canon divergence!
I really like this, Ilya in particular, using his power of insight for good.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov does not come pre-installed with good communication or healthy coping skills. Is he going to seek out help on his own? Hell no! But when a family member kills himself, fellow Boston Raider and friend Cliff Marleau decides that Ilya is going to therapy come hell or high water. And Ilya... well, Ilya is just playing along to keep the peace. Right? He doesn't need therapy. But if it helps his friend be less worried, so be it.
OR: What if Ilya came into the tuna meltdown with slightly upgraded social skills and no one actually ran away before they had a conversation?

Very fine exploration of Ilya's second chance at life, in which he comes out as bi and then makes friends with Shane, who thinks of Ilya as a brother.

Well written gen Bucky recovery fic, with the twist that Bucky can teleport and listen to electronic signals. I really enjoyed that. Also the good therapy.

Summary
Two years after a rogue turncoat agent tears HYDRA apart, exposing SHIELD's existence to the public and nearly bringing the agency down in a hurricane of scandal, SHIELD scientists find Captain America in the ice and revive him.
Wanting Captain America's endorsement, SHIELD appoints Steve as Captain of their specialized HYDRA-hunting unit, STRIKE Team Alpha. Which would be great except that STRIKE Alpha is in disarray due to one member being said former HYDRA turncoat agent, a highly uncooperative and incommunicative... super soldier?
Eager to connect with the one person this century who might be like him in more ways than one, Steve attempts to bring the Soldier more fully onboard the team. But aside from his two year revenge stint, the Winter Soldier is still fresh out of 70 years of captivity with HYDRA, crazier than a bucket of bats trying to imitate human behavior (in fact a bucket of bats might have slightly more success), and full of secrets whose existence he won't even begin to acknowledge. He also refuses to so much as take his goggles off around anyone from SHIELD. Not even during *brunch.* As Steve gets closer to the Soldier, he starts putting together the pieces of a very worrying puzzle.

This is intriguing, building a foundation for Steve (slightly melodramatic), the team, and Bucky. I like the worldbuilding, with a different flavor of Hydra. Very interested in learning more about the team members. Also good therapy in fic!
