    Summary

    A novel-length historical AU about power, silence, and control.

    When two men of unknown origin take possession of a house on Fifth Avenue, New York society expects spectacle. It does not arrive. What follows instead is reorganization.

    Set in a late-1890s alternate history, this is a large-scale epic about dominance through restraint: money that moves without announcement, systems that realign quietly, and intimacy treated as structure rather than performance. At its center is a public, acknowledged marriage that functions as an axis.

    Clint Barton and Thor Odinson are married. Their union is recognized by society, governments, and the German Kaiser alike. They are a power couple. They are deeply in love.

    Written in a literary style inspired by Wharton and Balzac—slow, deliberate, cumulative.
    This work is complete. No cliffhangers. No abandonment.

    The story takes intentional historical liberties, including:
    – Bismarck retiring later than in our timeline
    – The Russo-Japanese War occurring earlier
    – Norway gaining independence ahead of schedule, as a republic

    Summary

    Stories about Team Red (&Barton) doing stuff. Sometimes they'll be evading the Avengers, other times they're having a mental breakdown.

    "We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance" focuses on all four of them
    "You ever see somebody ruin their own life?" focuses on Clint
    More stories focusing on the others are probably to come (I'm not making promises though)

    Summary

    “What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?” Clint says, instead.

     

    Barnes snorts. “Having a drink,” he says, then gives Clint another one of those appraising looks. “You a professional?” he says, after a second, and Clint is momentarily confused.

     

    A professional what?

     

    And then he realizes Barnes must be talking about pool, and Clint huffs a laugh. “Only when there’s money involved,” he says, smirking, and Barnes kind of nods, like that makes any sort of sense.

     

    Then Barnes nods again, a little more firmly, and says “You got a place?”

     

    Which is about the point that Clint realizes that he’s not meeting the Winter Soldier in a bar, he’s being picked up by the Winter Soldier in a bar and-

     

    “Yeah,” he croaks, clears his throat, thinks wildly that he’s really fucking glad Kate has Lucky for a few days, and says “Yeah, I got a place.”

     

    Or, how Bucky got his groove back.

    (And Clint too, but it was a different sort of groove)

    Summary

    Clint wasn't great at being a functioning human. And feelings weren't his friend.

    Bucky was just trying to figure himself out a bit.
