Summary
Poem inspired by Steve's line in Winter Soldier: "Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." And my pre-Civil War Stucky feels.
Some days are crippling:
knuckles wrapped and slammed–
one, two–against worn, navy leather;
hard enough to sting and smart and punish

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
“There was a boy,” Izzy’s dad murmurs. “He… he was my first friend—my best friend. And I…”
His voice trails off. Tears well in her dad’s eyes, and Izzy reaches across the space between them, taking his free hand. She gives it an encouraging squeeze, and her dad laughs, soft and broken and free.
“I loved him, Izzy,” her dad whispers, meeting her eyes. “I loved him. I really, really did.”
Or:
The one in which Mike Wheeler has a crash out of epic proportions when listening to ’Good Luck, Babe!’ and his daughter, Izzy, decides to do something about it.

Summary
Will’s expression smoothes out then, and he’s looking at Mike in consideration, like he sees him in all the ways Mike does not want to be seen.
“You were jealous,” Will offers it like it’s a fact, simple as that, and Mike nearly doubles over with the shock of it, an immediate blow to whatever unbothered facade he’d been attempting to put on for Will.
“Was not,” but his voice is so weak that he nearly collapses in embarrassment, an omission of guilt clear as day.
Mike is in love with Will. He tries very hard to love him quietly.
