Summary
There's a lot of expectation attached to Steve Rogers' name. It's taken him years to prove his own worth - that he's made it so far in the USNA on his own merit and not just because of his father. He's close though - there are only a few more months until he graduates and gets to stand on his own two feet. It's taken a lot of effort to get there, and a lot of sacrifices.
Bucky's beyond the point of expectation. When your father and grandfather have both been President - and your mother nurses political ambitions of her own - brilliance is a foregone conclusion. He's just counting down the final months of his confinement to the glass cage of the White House and he's determined to put that whole world behind him.
But as the days standing between them and their dreams dwindle, Steve comes to realize he might have made one sacrifice too many, and Bucky learns that his freedom comes at a cost he's never going to be able to pay.

Summary
Nicolò di Genova is an Expendable on an icebound colony: he goes out, he dies, the printer brings him back. The company calls it continuity and writes him down as an asset; Nicky remembers every last moment.
Joe is security, the one who signs off on risk profiles and waits in the print lab for the cradle to spit Nicky out again.
After a “routine” mission goes wrong, a wake-up in cold fluorescent light and the quiet walk back to their bunk drag old fears to the surface: what choice means when you never really had one, where duty ends, and how you love someone the world insists is replaceable.

Summary
Six months in and the New Avengers had fallen into a routine with only a few bumps in the road. And being in charge of them isn't too hard. All things considered, Bucky thought being a leader wasn't so bad. The worst part was dealing with Valentina and keeping them from biting each other's heads off and trying to shrug off that exhaustion that just won't go away. But everything was fine, really. Nothing worth mentioning.

Summary
It’s too late. The moment he lets go of Steve he's lost. Pulled into a harsh and unforgiving current; thrown into the sensation that he doesn’t quite fit right inside his body. He’s hovering just below the surface like overlaying two pages of a book and seeing the text through the paper. He is slipping out of his skin, and leaving his body empty, all over again.
