    Summary

    “Steve—” Bucky stutters.

    He can’t breathe. He can’t move. Steve Rogers is standing in his kitchen. Alive.

    Bucky grips the counter to steady himself. He must be dreaming. Because Steve—his Steve—left him behind.

    ***

    Steve thought he made the right choice.

    He danced with Peggy, lived with her, kissed her—wrapped himself in the life he always believed he wanted. But at night, in the quiet, it wasn’t Peggy’s soft touch he ached for. It wasn’t her warm brown eyes he saw behind closed lids. It was Bucky. It had always been Bucky.

    Regret claws at his ribs. He made a mistake. A terrible, selfish mistake. And now, he’s come back.

    ***

    The day Steve vanished, something inside Bucky shattered. When an old man took his place, the world blurred into nothing.

    Steve was gone. Gone in a way Bucky could never fix, never follow.

    He grieved. He bled. He forced himself to keep breathing because Sam reminded him how. And just when the ache dulled into something manageable, Steve returns.

    The air is ripped from Bucky’s lungs. His hands shake, his heart slams against his ribs.

    This should be a miracle. A second chance. So why does it feel like a curse?

    Summary

    Bucky doesn’t laugh anymore, hardly ever. He doesn’t scribble down equations and diagrams like he’s gonna beat Howard Stark at his own game. He doesn’t hum, doesn’t dance, doesn’t look up at the night sky in quiet awe.

    But he still smokes. He still smokes.

    Steve holds onto that.

    In which Steve holds on to Bucky as hard as he can, and somehow it still might not be enough.

    Summary

    “Jesus, Sharon, I’ve never seen this much paperwork with any client.” Bucky thumbs through the folder that she’d handed him when he came in. It’s thicker than any client packet he’s ever been handed and it doesn’t even contain so much as a location. There’s no name, no preference list, no requests. Just page after page of disclaimers and clauses.

    “You’ve never had a client that was this high priority,” Sharon shrugs. “Some folks like anonymity in these dealings.” 

     

    As a rut specialist, Bucky's never been given an emergency placement before. Until a high-priority alpha in need picks his scent out and he suddenly finds himself in the position to be helping Captain America through his rut. It's no big deal. Just another placement. Except he doesn't anticipate finding a broken alpha needing more TLC than anything else. And Bucky can't help feeling like this isn't going to be just any other client.
