    Summary

    The biggest lies are usually the ones we tell ourselves, and Steve has been telling lots of lies, especially lately. That in spite of how he can’t stop chewing his fingernails bloody, the never ending nightmares chasing him out of bed, and the way merely seeing ice sends him into a panic, he’s fine.

    But when his latest mission with The Avengers goes horribly wrong, Steve can no longer keep lying, not even to himself.

    Diagnosed with PTSD and placed on medical leave, initially Steve is resentful, stubbornly refusing the idea there’s anything that can make it better. Until Sam suggests a Service Dog, and introduces him to James Buchanan Barnes, a fellow vet and trainer who swears one of his dogs can help, if only Steve can summon enough bravery to take a leap of faith and accept a four-legged companion in his life.

    What follows is a long and winding journey of fear, doubt and self-recrimination. But also hope, acceptance and redefining what it means to be a hero, as Steve finally faces the issues that have been haunting him his entire life.

    There is also a lot of fur, conversations with dogs, and a cross-country road trip, as Steve rebuilds his life and maybe, just maybe, falls in love along the way.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers is a soon to be award nominated journalist. He works on in-depth pieces and loves his life at SHIELD News Inc.
    He lives alone but has an ongoing, if casual, relationship with Sharon Carter who he met when she pulled some nasty metal shards from his hand in the ER one night after he'd narrowly escaped, chasing a story of the local Russian Mafia in Brooklyn.

    Bucky Barnes was an award-winning singer of a rock band, The Winter Soldier. He disappeared off the face of the earth a decade ago and the world had all but forgotten him until he was featured in a "Where are they now?" article in a weekend magazine and the internet exploded. #whereisbuckybarnes?

    Steve is not happy to be sent in to interview him, but goes along as a favour to his boss, Nick Fury. He expects to find a washed-up singer who's hiding, but he finds a man and a story that's worthy of another nomination, and possibly his heart.

    Not beta read - all mistakes are mine, mainly from typing late at night :)

    Summary

    The girl stood still. There was a gentle tap-tap echoing in the air as she observed the room. Her fingers were wet, and her toes squished unconsciously into the puddle beneath her, an age-old habit from a childhood spent playing in the water. It was wildly inappropriate in the current situation, her mind helpfully pointed out.

    Tap tap tap.

    The noise mocked her. She inhaled a breath, disrupting the sound, and turned her eyes away from the tableau before her. Her fingers clenched into fists. Unhelpful, she couldn’t help but notice. The skinny little hands that sat at the end of her equally short arms were virtually useless. Tiny fingers unable to clench anything, palms to small to hold anything. Useless.

    Tap tap tap.

    The girl inhaled again, flexing bloody fingers into the cold air. She eyed the floor once more, or more accurately, the bloody mess that covered the floor. Her toes squished again.

     

    OR: A girl is promptly horrified to learn that she has been reborn into Hannibal universe and is fairly certain of her impending death. She really shouldn't have gotten attached to the man that is now apparently her father.
