    Summary

    The world was full of things no one could have expected.

    Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes never expected to fall from a train into decades of torture and killing.

    HYDRA never expected their perfect Winter Soldier's programming to shatter.

    And Bucky, who'd once been the Winter Soldier, who was now an auxiliary to the Avengers, never expected to look down from a rooftop in New York City, where he was keeping watch over the world's most ineffectual aspirant supervillains, and see a tiny ball of angry sunshine. Fierce and fearless, he loosed feelings in Bucky that he'd thought were gone forever.

    Bucky was determined to see him again. The better thing would have been to introduce himself. Not to stealthily follow him as he leapt across the rooftops, strong and agile, feet touching down like he was doing gravity a favour.

    The world may have been full of things no one could have expected, but Bucky probably shouldn't have been surprised when his tiny ball of fierce, angry sunshine dumped him on his ass.

    Summary

    “But Sam!” Steve whined. “He’s so hot! And he’s so sweet! I saw him help old Mrs. Smith with her groceries and on Tuesday when it rained, he brought home a soaked, stray kitten and I saw him taking care of it, through the window, and-“

    “Steve!” Sam exclaimed horrified. “That is toeing the creepy line, man. Next thing you know you’ll be telling me you followed him to work!”

    “Uhh..” Steve looked sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck as his other hand, nervously played with the edge of his t-shirt.

    Steve has an unhealthy obsession with his new neighbor.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes is a guy who knows how to take a licking and keep on ticking. And it's a good thing, too, because the world has thrown some pretty weird things his way, including Nazis, dinosaurs, demons, robots, and *shudder* having a teddy bear named after him.

    Summary

    Alex is about to call it a day, and a wasted one at that, when he sees a fancy looking man wandering in front of his booth. The neatly coiffed blond hair and plaid blazer are a sight for sore eyes, compared to Alex’s own disheveled state. Alex pastes on his best customer service smile, and catches the man’s attention.

    “Hi, welcome. Can I interest you in some beautiful homegrown flowers?”

    The man approaches carefully. Alex takes it as an encouragement to go on.

    “Maybe these spiky purple ones? Or some tiny white ones? I even got some…uh…. wannabe sunflowers?”

    The man has fully stepped up to the booth now, smirking like he has a secret Alex isn’t in on.

    “Somewhere, a botanist rolls over in his grave,” Fancy Pants says. British, go figure. Alex can’t say he’s surprised. The blazer in this weather should have tipped him off.

     

    OR, reluctant gardener Alex meets plant aficionado Henry. Something blooms.

    Summary

    “Look, it isn't what it sounds like. V's basically a sweetheart most of the time."
    “Basically a sweetheart. Most of the time." Incredibly, Barnes did not look sold.
    "Yeah," Eddie rubbed his neck, trying not to fidget. "They just need the right person, which is me. They’re not gonna steal Captain America and go on a rampage.”
    Though, once Eddie put it like that.... riding around in that pumped up pinnacle of perfect human physicality did kinda sound like V's idea of a good time.
    “Shit.”
