    Summary

    There are, Sam has found, a number of things he does enjoy about being Cap. Saving people, sure. The suit, well that thing’s pretty sweet. The hordes of fawning admirers that absolutely do exist, no matter what Bucky says to the contrary? They’re not so bad either.

    And there are things he enjoys less. Spending too much time in stuffy rooms around large tables where everyone just talks circles around one another. Living in a world where he has to be a voice for the voiceless, because no one else will be. Wreaking violence on a near-daily basis, because that seems to be the only language some people understand.

    And there are things he really cannot stand. Like today. The saving innocent civilians, that’s alright. The doing violence to violent people, he can live with. But the having to sit here, pretending not to care while someone beats up his partner/co-worker/guy with a mutual friend right in front of him? Yeah. He’s over this shit.

    Summary

    Bucky hates this. Hates this assignment. Hates this place. Hates everything about it.

    Hates that he and Sam agreed to do Rhodes a little favor, go check out a not strictly on the books government installation after the last bunch of poor saps Rhodes sent there never came back out.

    Hates being in this terrible, creepy underground facility, this warped reflection of all the other terrible, creepy underground facilities he spent way too much of the past eighty years in. Hates how there’s always an unpleasant memory around the next corner. And something worse around the rest.

    He hates the realization that unpleasant memories are quickly becoming the least of his problems. And he really hates the sinking feeling that they might not make it out of here intact. Or at all.

    Summary

    “I would greatly recommend against ever returning to Madripoor. The nature of your celebrity there will not have improved with our latest visit. To reestablish the status quo your presence once held would require extremely violent methods.”

    Bucky felt his face twitch, sending a sharp twinge through his still-healing jaw. “I wasn’t planning on going back.”

    -----------

    The consequences of the trade to Selby are more far reaching and lasting than anyone could have prepared for. When Bucky goes missing, the reality of that hits home hard.

    (Direct sequel to unjust means. Post-TFATWS.)

    Summary

    Three teams. One war.

    Yelena and Bucky are settling into life as Avengers. With an unlikely team behind them, they have one objective: bring down Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. But when Val makes her move first, the team is given a new mission - survive.

    Sam may not have the government’s approval, but he has the shield, a legacy, and a team worth fighting for. As legal pressure increases on vigilantes and a new group rises to finish what Thanos started, the stakes turn personal when one of their own is taken.

    Kate is still figuring out what it means to be a hero. When a raid on an illegal auction brings the Young Avengers an unexpected recruit, they stumble into a conspiracy that places millions of lives in danger.

    They’re all in the same fight. But are they fighting a common enemy… or each other?
