    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

    This is a story of two people fighting side by side, but there will always be one person who forgets everything.

    Rumlow stood alone, the brief, stinging touch on his nape still burning. The wind whipped snow dust into spirals.
    He knew Barnes was right. They would meet again—in another mission, another place, under another sky, repeating this silent dance, this brief closeness, this destined-to-be-erased throb with terror. Cycle upon cycle, like changing seasons, like falling snow covering all traces, leaving only a cold, blank world waiting for the next encounter and oblivion.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The signing goes alright despite Barnes’ increasingly murder-licious expression and the ugly set of Rogers’ jaw. Even though Natasha slips Tony a note through nefarious means, that goes alright too. Rhodey’s solution was…unconventional but functional.

    ...

    i.e. he fucking ate the note in a moment of pure crystallized hilarity.

    Summary

    Maria brushes her fingers through her son’s hair as Tony cries onto her silk skirts. She and Howard had fallen into bed while still only betrothed as well, so she has no room to admonish her son now, even if she wanted to. But she doesn’t. She knows exactly who is the victim here and where the blame lies.

    “Shhhh, darling, I know, I know,” she says soothingly, “We will make him pay. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, I promise you, Steven of House Rogers will pay.”
