    Summary

    James Buchanan Barnes has been chosen as Red Hook’s Midwinter tribute, an annual offering made to the old gods in exchange for calm seas and heavy harvests. Or that's what it used to be; it's all ceremony these days.

    We'll see what Kraken!Steve has to say about that.

    Summary

    He had done the arithmetic at fourteen and believed the answer ever since: a man who wanted nothing could lose nothing.

    He'd arrived at it honestly. His parents had coached—juniors, the cold-rink end of it, nothing glamorous—and they had loved him the ordinary, total way parents do, the way you never think to be grateful for because you assume it is simply the weather you live in. Then a drunk driver on an ordinary road took the weather away entirely, and for two years afterward Scott belonged to no one, which is a thing that happens to a boy and then never quite stops happening.

    Or:
    The one where fourteen-year-old Scott promises himself he'll never fall in love. And he keeps that promise... until he meets the one person who becomes his only exception.

    Summary

    The trick to Jack Abbot's coffee was that there wasn't one, and Robby had learned it anyway.

    At a quarter to six Robby was at the counter, hair still wet, scrub top inside-out, half-assembled for the day shift, when Jack wandered in. He had no business being awake—it was his night off—but years of working nights had worn the ordinary hours smooth in him, and he'd never quite managed to sleep through Robby's side of the bed going cold. So he got up, the way he always did the mornings he was home, to stand in the kitchen and see the man off. His coffee was waiting on the counter—black, scalding, two sugars he'd deny to his grave that he took. Robby had made it, the way Robby made it every morning Jack was home to drink it: the one with somewhere to be looking after the one without. Jack picked it up without breaking stride, the way you'd pick up your own hand. He didn't say thank you. Thank you was for strangers. He bumped his shoulder into Robby's on the way to the window and that was the whole sentence, subject and verb and object: you, here, this.

    Or:
    The one where Robby finds out that Jack has been receiving mail addressed to his late wife and decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    “He’s been cagey all fucking week, we never get to see him outside of games. Did he have a secret missus that left him?”

    “I don’t think he has a missus,” Eric sighed. “That, I’m sure, we would have heard about. Have you talked to him?”

    Carter rolled his eyes and leaned his head on his palm, blowing a raspberry. “No. He insists everything is okay, but…” He trailed off, toying with his beer bottle.

    -----

    Carter Vaughn's in the dark. Has he found the light switch? AU/Canon divergent.

    Summary

    Kip walked into the living room, leaving his messenger bag next to Scott's weird room divider. That's when he saw it. A tiny white bunny, sitting on the carpet next to the coffee table. Kip did a double take because surely, there wasn't really a bunny here. But when he looked again, the bunny was still there, looking up at him. Kip stared back, completely thrown off.

    Or: The one where Scott is a shapeshifter that turns into a bunny and Kip has no idea what is happening
