    Summary

    In the chaotic years after Steve Rogers arrives back in 2023 as an old man, he helps rebuild the world, falls in love with his best friend, adopts a stray cat, and saves the entire timeline. Not necessarily in that order.

    “Now you’re slow enough for me to catch you the next time you try to do something stupid.” Bucky leans close and jostles their arms together. “That’s the best part.”

    Steve presses a wrinkled hand to his chest. “I’ve matured, James Barnes. I would never do something stupid.”

    Bucky rolls his eyes and drops an arm over Steve’s stooped shoulders. “Yeah, you’re still a punk, old man.”

    Summary

    It starts as a joke on Instagram, a tourist in New York posts a picture with the caption: Was going through my vacation photos and saw this. No big deal. It's just the ghost of Bucky Barnes.

    By the end of the day the image has gone viral: a young man with short brown hair walking down the street in a grey pea coat, hands in his pockets as he glances back just in time to be caught in the photo. The moment Steve sees it, he knows it’s Bucky. He doesn't care what his friends tell him. He knows it's not just some lookalike, and it's sure as hell not a ghost.

    (Or; the Winter Soldier does not kill Howard Stark and his wife in 1991, and escapes from Hydra with Howard's help. But fate still has every intention of getting Steve and Bucky back within the same time and place)

    Summary

    The Winter Soldier has been a prisoner of SHIELD for about a year and a half, placed in solitary confinement under strict security when it was clear he wasn't going to respond to the best interrogators and deprogrammers SHIELD had available. When Fury asks a newly awakened Steve Rogers to assist, Steve is hesitant. He doesn't understand why Fury thinks he would have a better chance of getting through to this guy than all the people who have tried and failed.

    Summary

    Bucky’s daily circuit, without fail, takes him to the small plot of land where Steve is buried. Brooklyn’s ghostly ruins are the perfect setting for the once proud tombstone, now battered and sloping from wind and grit.

    Sometime in the future, Earth has been left uninhabitable after a long alien war. The few humans remaining fled to the skies, leaving only Bucky Barnes behind to monitor the dying planet.

    Then, a very much alive Steve Rogers crash lands at his front door.

    Summary

    Bucky is just a regular guy. He works as a nurse, lives in a moderate Brooklyn apartment with his pet cat, oh, and he once dated Captain fucking America. After a pretty rough breakup over a year ago, he's been re-adjusting to regular life, with only a moderate amount of success. But what little progress he had made goes straight out of the window when Steve shows up at his door, and the two of them are finally forced to confront their feelings.
