    Summary

    “You can crash here for the night, you know,” Sam says. “I don’t hate you enough to send you all the way back to Brooklyn in the rain.”

    "Queens," Bucky says. Sam quirks his head. "Looked for a place in Brooklyn, but I couldn’t afford anything there without Steve."

    "I don't hate you enough to send you back to Queens, then. Get comfy or don’t, up to you.”

    “Thanks,” Bucky says, and his smile is so soft it almost reminds Sam of-

    Nope. Not going there, not today, not ever. Sam brings out some soft goods, puts a Motown mix too loud on his headphones, and deep-cleans the kitchen while Bucky makes up the couch.

    Or: The one where two veterans on the run from their issues come crashing headfirst into each other.

    Summary

    It's 2011, men are allowed to marry, and Bucky is dead.

    The future isn't all that's strange. Together in peacetime for the first time since before Steve took the serum, Steve and Bucky struggle to find their place -- and each other -- in the middle of a new millennium, new bodies, and new dynamics.

    Or, just because you wake up in a century where everything you've repressed is magically okay, that doesn't make it easy.

    Summary

    When Nick first left for Leeds, they would cry every time they saw each other again after time apart, pent up love and frustration at their separation spilling over. They would slam into each other at train and bus stations, kissing tearfully as passing travellers rolled their eyes. Over time, and with practice, this has mellowed out somewhat. Now, all Charlie feels is joy and relief as Nick wraps him in his arms.

     

    The first of a series of one-shots covering Nick and Charlie’s relationship as they navigate their twenties together. Inspired by 'True Blue', Boygenius.

    Summary

    It's hard being casual when everything about Charlie makes Nick love him more.

    It's hard being casual when Nick is constantly telling everyone "we're not together" and it kills Charlie a little more each time.

    It's hard being casual when it's what neither of them actually want.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is fed up. With some encouragement from his beloved mum, he decides to head to Cornwall for the summer so he can reset and hopefully even cheer himself the fuck up. There, he meets Charlie Spring; sarcastic and self-assured and a little bit lost himself. It’s amazing what six weeks, near-constant rain and a little bit of opening up can do for you.

    or

    A love letter to Cornwall, to cosiness, and to love. Hopefully.
