    Summary

    When what should have been a straight forward mission in Hell's Kitchen goes pear shaped due to lack of communication, teaching his teammates sign language seems like a logical step to Clint. Communication when their comms are down - great plan! And including the local vigilante, who's been working closely with them on this, is a real no-brainer.

    Until it turns out said vigilante is an asshole that thinks sign language is beneath him, judging by the way he's stubbornly refusing to learn it.

    (Conversely - Matt's trying, he really is but damn it, those two signs are exactly the same... what do you mean they mean completely different things?!)

    Summary

    Nureyev has a very complicated relationship with locked doors that boils down to one rule: if it locks, he and Juno need to be on the same side of it. Unfortunately, the world doesn't revolve around said rule. When a heist gone wrong makes that abundantly clear, the mask of Peter Ransom cracks just a little more.

    in which a confused but supportive Buddy Aurinko helps Nureyev unpack a few of his many filing cabinets.

    Summary

    Juno can’t breathe. Nureyev didn’t recognize him. Nureyev, the man who wears a mask every day from the moment he wakes up til he falls asleep at night, who sees through every mask and disguise, who catches every minute facial expression and catalogs it, looked through the eyeholes of his golden fox mask and didn’t recognize Juno Steel.

    (or, the masquerade ball fic no one asked for ever)

    Summary

    “Why did you think I wouldn’t like you for being gay?” Steve asks gently.

    “You’re Captain America.” Eli’s got his teeth clenched and is resolutely looking ahead. “You stand for truth and justice and the American way. You stand for American morals. You stand for…” he shrugs awkwardly. “Not people like me.”

    Steve blows the air out of his cheeks slowly, trying to figure out how to keep the anger out of his voice so Eli doesn’t think it’s at him.

    Or, Steve comes to terms with his new world, and gains some children in the process.

    Summary

    Peter grabs his hands, rising to his feet and pulling Juno up with him, and though Juno might protest and grumble, he’s laughing all the while. Perhaps it’s just the drink talking, but he thinks he’d do anything if Peter Nureyev asked him to.

    Summary

    “So your bed’s right there.”

    Juno points at his own bed where it’s nestled into the corner. Jet argued that Juno shouldn’t have to give up his bed, but Juno’s shared with Ben before (especially in the last couple years, whenever he has dreams that Ben’s gone, taken somewhere Juno will never find him again), and Juno figures the new kid might want to sleep with his back against the wall or a knife under the pillow.

    Peter Nureyev smiles. “Thank you,” he says, his voice all polished and shiny.

    The kid’s sharp, smooth like the knife he showed them when he showed up. Juno doesn’t mind him having it, so long as its blade stays far away from Ben.

    ...

    A brief sequel to loonylu's up the wolves. Peter Nureyev stays with Jet, Juno, and Ben for a little while, and Peter and Juno learn to get along.

    Summary

    Juno hates this, he thinks as he curls up tighter and watches the acidic rain drip down onto the concrete floor. He hated it at Ma’s, he hated it at the hospital, and he hated it at the group home especially, and he hates it here in this moldy basement.

    Juno is nine years old and he feels like half of himself is missing. It’s been thirty-nine days since Juno has seen Benzaiten and he feels like he is going to explode. He’s a resourceful kid, at least that’s what the caseworker lady said, and he is not gonna cry. He’s gonna find Benzaiten and they’re gonna live together and take care of each other like Ma said to, no matter what.

    Just as soon as the rain stops.

    Summary

    Peter Ransom is perfect, and this makes him favorable, until he is expected not to be, and then he is nothing. Peter Ransom is a no-good bastard to Vespa and a shameless suck-up to Jet and an obstacle to Captain Aurinko, who only wants to crack him open like an egg and poke at the raw yolk of Peter Nureyev where Ransom protects him from her view.
    Peter Ransom expects to be hurt when he is caught. He does not expect this, Juno’s hands raised in surrender and twigs openly snapping beneath his feet across a clearing, not two hands around his middle or a trap around his leg but a hand extended with food in its palm and for once no scent of danger on the wind.

    Perhaps he needs a hug more than he thought.

    Summary

    Now, Peter Nureyev is warm, and well-rested, and loved. Peter Nureyev does not have to be a man built from pain, he reminds himself, as Juno so often does. Peter Nureyev can be happy without the things that make him at his core cracking and falling to oblivion, and so he is.

    “Perhaps I missed you,” he says, and tries to put every soft, glowing thing inside his heart into the words. “Can a man not long for his wife’s warmth beside him, Juno?”

    “Sap,” Juno chuckles, pulling away a few painful inches so he can smirk knowingly at Nureyev. “You’ve been saying that an awful lot lately.”

    “Saying what, love?” Nureyev asks, feigning innocence. Juno rolls his eye.

    “Y’know. Wife.”

    Summary

    Juno didn’t see why he would bother with a crammed, freezing corner of a museum that had been delegated for a ten foot block of ice encasing an emerald that frankly, didn’t seem to be worth the trouble. It wasn’t the most glamorous of jobs, but on the other hand, the billionaire had left a gloating ad in the newspaper and was almost certain to buy another if the Nameless Thief didn’t show up. By Juno’s estimation, it was about a fifty-fifty shot of him coming at all.

    They weren’t his favorite odds in the world, but they were loose enough that once evening crept closer and the hall began to empty, Juno allowed his eyes to wander, and subsequently, land on Peter Ransom.

    Summary

    Zolotovna's security system would make any sensible scalawag would pick up their sword and run back to their boat, renouncing every sin and theft and plundering in the hopes that, if the guards weren’t merciful, their deity of choice might be.

    Nureyev, however, was not any sensible scalawag. He much preferred to be called a pirate, a buccaneer, a swashbuckler, or ‘Juno Steel’s favorite career criminal.’

    Summary

    Juno, as Nureyev had learned his name from a professor who insisted on doing a verbal attendance for the first few weeks, was the individual crammed into his unassigned assigned seat at Peter’s side. While they had yet to exchange phone numbers, that wasn’t for lack of trying.

    Juno was from the opposite side of the country and wore twice as many layers as Nureyev at any given time. His face had been blessed with a divine side profile and when he smiled, Peter had to make a mental note to watch an extra video on the subject of the lecture, just because his mind had a habit of flickering in and out of focus when Juno’s lips curved into that shape.

    Summary

    About thirty seconds ago, Juno had been half asleep, letting the king’s words flow in one ear and out the other while he zoned out in the direction of the nearest candle. Knights’ meetings always went the same way anyway. The ones who arrested the most folk heroes and dulled their swords on the most dragons got cushy jobs, while Juno would be assigned to stand guard in the creepy forest on the edge of the kingdom again. He didn’t doubt it would take a miracle to get his attention.

    With the door recently thrown open and Juno’s head still aching from where it banged against the round table in shock, he no longer wished for an end to his boredom. At the end of the day, it seemed a far kinder fate than the one promised by the large, glowing axe slung over the shoulder of the interloper.

    Juno Steel is so determined not to blow his last chance with Nureyev. To take things slow, do things properly this time. To not screw up like he did last time around.

    Only it's considerably harder to do when Nureyev is wine-drunk and stubborn and still hurting. Juno is in for a long night.
