    Summary

    The automatic door of the lift is almost closed when a hand quickly pushes it back and Dr. Langdon very unceremoniously enters. Mel is a little stunned, and she jumps backwards-old habits die hard.

    ‘Sorry, it’s me, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you’, he apologizes.

    ‘No problem, I just-it’s a reflex. It’s fine’, she tells him, while she nervously clasps her hands around her phone for just a moment, and then confirms her ride. And then again, silence that's thick as honey. She’s uncomfortable and she’s upset that she's uncomfortable, and she’s exhausted. So, Mel? Not having a good time right now. She doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable, and if she were just a bit lucky, darkness would swallow her up whole. No dice.

    And the worst part is she can already tell this is not a Halloween thing, or a fatigue thing, this is something else entirely, but she can’t-she won’t put it the name it’s aching to be named with.

    Summary

    You both survived Hydra, the Blip, and even survived each other. Yet you still hadn’t survived the hardest part—learning how to live normally.
    Bucky Barnes is trying to make peace with a world that finally stopped hunting him. He traded his rifle for a congressional seat, promising himself he'd do what he could to help. Congress meetings instead of missions, making headlines instead of spilling blood. But politics has its own kind of crosshairs and ghosts don’t rest easy.
    Neither does the woman who once fought at his side.
    You’re learning what it means to stay and build something that isn’t just survival. To trust the quiet when all you’ve ever known is the fight. You weren’t what Hydra made you, but when others start moving in the dark again—sanctioned killers under government badges—you can’t ignore what’s coming. Not when you’ve seen what simple orders can turn into.
    Bucky wants you safe. You want to protect him at all costs. And somewhere between that love and loyalty, both of you will have to decide if you can hold onto each other without losing who you’re trying to become as new threats stir and the past resurfaces.
    But even when you think the war is over, it still casts a shadow.

    Summary

    Frank turned to face her again — and for the first time in their ten years, he looked at Mel as though he didn't know the person standing in front of him.

    Her breath caught, lips clamped shut as if she'd already said too much and nothing at all, all of it years too late. 

    "Why would you tell me this now?" he asked, disbelief sharpening his voice. "Why would you even think I wanted to know that?" 

    Mel's mouth opened and closed around nothing, her grip on her racquet going slack. "I just... I wanted you to know."

    Frank’s expression hardened as he stepped toward the door. “After this game,” he said, not looking back, “we’re done.”

    * * *

    In which Mel and Frank climb the ranks of mixed doubles tennis, and life gets in the way.

    Summary

    Picking up soon after the events of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and before Wakanda Forever, Brave New World, and Thunderbolts*, this story explores the bonds of friendship, the aftermath of betrayal, and includes a lively mix of banter, action, angst, and globe-trotting adventure, as well as a deep-dive into just what happened during Bucky's two years in Wakanda.

    When news of a series of high-profile murders sparks international interest, Bucky and Sam find themselves undercover to investigate a lead that could place it as the work of an unknown assailant who might be a part of the “Big Four.”

    While Bucky would prefer to believe that his time as the Winter Soldier is long behind him, strange dreams and the shadows of missing memories prompt him to realize that their elusive secrets may be the only thing standing between them and another HYDRA operation of unknown ends.

    But to move forward, Bucky will need to navigate the complex question of where the Winter Soldier ends and the White Wolf begins…
