    Summary

    Roy was only supposed to be going out for cigarettes, dish soap, and paper towels. Maybe some ice cream, if they had Cherry Garcia. And there’s a plastic bag hanging off Roy’s right wrist, so maybe he did get those things.

    But… he also came back with the Winter Soldier.

    Summary

    “Do you, Clinton Francis Barton, Baron of Waverly, swear to take this enemy of the Crown, James Buchanan Barnes, to be bound in permanent servitude to you, that he may learn to fear and obey you, living in humble repentance for his crimes until such time as your death ends his own life?”

    “Sodding hell,” Clint says faintly.
    ______

    Clint Barton was a loyal soldier in the Shield alliance's war against Hydra. When the war ended he didn't expect to be made a baron, and he especially didn't expect to become a husband. When the Council of Allies decrees that the former Winter Soldier must enter into a correctional marriage or be executed, however, Clint and Bucky take the leap. Together, they will need to navigate the burden of the ring-bound curse, their new lives in the neglected keep of Waverly, and the secrets of their past.

    Summary

    The Asset stares at the child. The child is, presumably, staring back from behind the creepy white lenses of his domino mask, but it’s impossible to know for sure. 

    “Where in the everloving shit are your parents?” the Asset demands. 

    “Dead,” the kid says promptly, and grins at him again before darting forward to examine the restraints. “I got this, don’t worry.” 

    “I got questions for your legal guardian,” the Asset growls.

    [Or: the Avengers acquire an emotional support Robin. Robin acquires an unwanted babysitter. The Winter Soldier just wants a nap.]

    I just want all the words in this universe, all of them. Bucky is grumpy, and doesn't want to take on a new kid filled with fire and brimstone and no self preservation instincts.

    Summary

    Steve had gone fully red-faced with pedantic altar-boy fury. “Did your computer forget how to Google translate?” he bellowed, sticking his head up and over. Bucky yanked him down again. “What are you even trying to say?”

    Bucky tried to shake the sparkles off the grenade he had been planning on lobbing over the divider. “It sounded like Latin to me,” he said reasonably, pursing his lips and frowning at the explosive. It dripped a sparkle, and a puff of purple smoke curled up where it hit the concrete.

    “That’s because you spent Sunday school flirting with Sarah Cunningham,” Steve accused, bobbing back up to throw his shield and ducking back down to dodge a shining ball of blue light. “You wouldn’t know Latin if it came up and kissed you on your ugly mug.”

    “I’d sure know it if Sarah Cunningham did, though.” Bucky grinned, struck by the memory. “That gal really knew what she was doing.”

    Summary

    SHIELD was the only intelligence agency that assigned werewolf and vampire agents to work together in the field, but the program had been a staggering success. They compensated each other’s weaknesses, complemented each other’s strengths, and a werewolf could feed a vampire and shake off the effects faster than ordering a pizza.

    Bucky knew all that. What he didn't know was why this particular vampire, one Agent Steve Rogers, was holding out a protein bar. They were perched in the rafters of a warehouse, waiting for not-overly punctual arms dealers to show up and deal arms, had been stuck up here for a couple of hours, but none of that explained vampires suddenly offering snacks.

    In his near decade as a werewolf in SHIELD, Bucky had worked with a lot of vampires, and they all tended to be pretty much the same. Steve Rogers was different, didn't fit the vampire mould, and Bucky couldn't quite figure out why.

    Not that it really mattered. Steve was just someone he was occasionally paired with on SHIELD assignments. It wasn't like he was going to have any effect on Bucky's life.
