Or, Niall is on trial for murder.

Summary
“Oi, shaaaggeeer, I can hear you in there.” The voice, gravel rough, is barely muffled by the locked door that separates them, and Niall knows, somehow he just knows, that it’s because his face is pressed right against the wood. That pale, single-scar face. The face of all his nights. A deeply sunken part of Niall imagines how his spit must be staining the wood.
The banging on the door rages on.
“Oh my god,” Alby whispers, no longer nonchalant. “What the fuck.”
Set during episode 2. What if Ruben heard them while Niall was in Alby's room?

Summary
Bucky Barnes gets cold at night like every other man on the front, so when he finds himself trapped in a bathroom stall with the prospect of getting down on his knees for Captain America, he doesn't mind all that much.
There’s an obscene hole in the wall between the endmost stall and its neighbor. He touches the edges of it, sanded smooth, and stares dumbly when he realizes that it must not be a rumor at all.
