Summary
The Winter Soldier thrashed, drowning. It was taking forever. His mask seemed to be stuck. He pulled on it, struggling to draw breath, sinking and resurfacing, clawing at his face, the panic in his eyes terrible.
Steve's would-be killer. The very worst HYDRA had ever conjured. A symbol of death and everything he stood against. And Steve just couldn't bear it. He was ready to go, but this guy clearly wasn't.
----------------------------------------
The premise: the Winter Soldier's mask doesn't come off quite as easily. Meaning, Steve never saw Bucky's face, and he didn't hold back during the fight on the Helicarrier. This is where the story picks up and is no longer canon-compliant. Though, I've stolen some ideas from the sequels and deliberately contradicted some future plot points/established canon.COMPLETED

Summary
“Captain America in a vampire bar,” says a deep voice, thick and dark with amusement. “What would the people say?”
Bucky’s got to give it to the guy—he’s got balls. Or he’s a fucking idiot.
He turns his head, teeth bared in a smile feral enough to match any of the fanged fuckers in here, vitriol on the tip of his tongue, and—
Gold hair, blazing blue eyes, and a crooked smile that lashes out into the space between them, sinking a red-hot hook straight between Bucky’s ribs.
His retort withers on his tongue. The vampire cocks his head, and Bucky’s heart gives a painful thump.
“Fuck,” he says intelligently.

Summary
The mer's face is twisted into an expression of utter terror—so remarkably human. With all that hair, Steve can’t even see his gills. But Steve’s had over a decade of experience with things that look just human enough to make his conscience twinge, right until the memories wash away the guilt in a flood of rage.
He walks closer, circling the tank to get a better look at the mer. He’s a bit of a mess, covered in cuts both shallow and deep, with his shoulder-length hair all tangled. He’s bleeding sluggishly still, red swirls vanishing into the water. He’s not in as bad a state as he was when Steve was done with him. Mers heal fast—much, much faster than humans. Steve’s never found that particularly fair, but then, life never is.
He stops by the foot of the tank, peering down at the mer’s thick, long tail. Objectively, it’s beautiful. The color’s a pale, pearlescent blue that Steve can’t remember seeing on any other of his kind, and the fins are large and transparent, like pretty frills.
Steve doesn’t even need to close his eyes to picture the very same tail dotted red with the blood of his men.
“Hello, Bucky.”

Summary
They took down a lab full of mutated animals today. It was normal enough at first, James with his metal arm and Steve with his shield, the two of them armed to the teeth with guns and knives. But then the creatures kept coming. Steve wrapped himself around a horse-sized something that might have been a wolf in another life and broke every one of its bones with a single, heaving squeeze of his limbs. James punched through the chest of a biped taller than him with his flesh arm and ripped its heart out for good measure.
There was no pretending after that.
James smiles at Steve, a small, heated thing.
“I want you to fuck me until I can’t walk."
“And if I say no?” Steve asks.
James shrugs, and the gesture is nonchalant, but Steve can see the tension underneath.
“Then I will be very disappointed, and I will leave and take my whiskey with me.” James tilts his head to the side, an animal-like motion that’s a strange cross between predatory and adorable. “But somehow, Captain, I don’t think you’ll say no.”

Summary
Cohabitation is now trial and error. Some days, Bucky tries to console himself by thinking that it was much the same back when Steve moved in with him after Sarah passed. But he knows that was different. The anger had no real bite. Steve’s harsh diatribes were always aimed at his perceived weaknesses rather than Bucky’s clumsy attempts to be sweet on him.
God help him, he misses that firecracker kid, his bones held together with spite, and he misses the brave monster who walked into hell to pull Bucky out of it.
And that’s just it, isn’t it? Steve pulled Bucky out of hell, but the stories all say it comes with a price. Steve paid with his life, his soul, and he was a ghost for seventy years and now he’s a wraith, and Bucky wants so badly to breathe him to life, but he doesn’t know how.
“You haven’t tried to kill me in weeks,” Bucky manages to say, and god, is that his voice? He sounds worn and old, like he’s really in his nineties. He swallows and tries to be stronger. “So yeah, Steve. A reason would be nice.”
