    Summary

    A contract means SHIELD plans to use him in the field. They want a soldier. A weapon. If the asset can demonstrate his value as an operative, SHIELD might never consider using him for anything else.

    It offers a measure of protection, slight though it may be. But—

    It isn’t a guarantee, Captain Rogers said. Not yet. The asset will have to earn it.

    The asset resolves to meet every expectation SHIELD raises. He will comply with every demand. Follow every order.

    If he does that, if he can keep SHIELD satisfied with his performance as a weapon— Maybe they won’t have time to consider other ways he could satisfy them.

    It’s a possibility. A hope, tiny and vulnerable and the asset should know better—he *does* know better—but he holds on to it anyway because— (Maybe things will be different this time. Maybe, if he’s good enough— If he doesn’t ruin it for himself like he *always* ends up doing—)

    Summary

    He’s shorter than Steve by a long shot, standing alone on the side of the road. His eyes cut through the darkness, staring directly up at Steve. He can’t be older than twenty.

    And he’s holding a thumb out.

    Steve makes a split-second decision and slams his foot on the brake.

    (Or: the dirty trucker AU that approximately two people asked for.)

    Summary

    “This is Detective Derek Hale. Remember, we brought him on from the omega victims unit?”

    Derek Hale holds a gargantuan alpha paw out to Stiles for shaking. Stiles glares at it for a moment, eyes flicking desperately to Jordan for approval without thinking about it. He hasn’t moved or done anything without Jordan’s permission in so long he can’t help himself, and everyone in the room notices. Derek Hale most notably. He looks at Stiles’ reaction, looks at Jordan, and slowly retracts his hand. “No talking to alphas, is that it?” There’s accusation there in his tone, but it’s veiled. Thinly. But it is veiled.

    “He can talk to whoever he likes to talk to, he just doesn’t like alphas,” Jordan corrects firmly. “Stiles, shake his hand.”

    Summary

     

    The wolf beneath Shane's skin is not some committed leader, intent on controlling others. Yes, his designation fits well with his need to protect those he loves. To protect innocents. But, his alpha status is not the same caliber as Ilya Rozanov's.

            In this moment, it's both good and bad news. If Ilya manages to do what his brother has tasked him with, Shane won't suffer too much in changing designations. The pride in him is attached to his accomplishments, not whether or not he can pop a knot. But on the other hand, his flexibility practically guarantees that, with enough time and effort, Ilya will succeed. They will end up permanently mated. All because Shane couldn't sleuth stealthily enough.

    Or, Agent Shane Hollander gets caught, cover blown. It's up to Ilya, their confidential informant, to save him. But will the price be worth it?

    Summary

    'Do you think they'll accept me?' Steve had asked doubtfully, staring down at the flier. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! it bleated at him in sour Hulk green, which he thought demonstrated a serious lack of tact considering it was an advertisement calling for people to work with kids left with PTSD after the Avengers levelled half their home city. 'I mean. I'm the one who caused half the mess.'

    'While defending the earth from aliens,' Natasha pointed out.

    --

    In which Steve joins a support group, realizes rebuilding New York isn’t just a one-man job, and tries to figure out what the hell is going on between him and Bucky.
