    Summary

    The clone's jaw flexes. For a second, it looks like he might ignore him again, but then he breaks eye contact with Steve and turns his head toward Tony.

    “You possess something that belongs to me.”

    Tony arches a brow. “Oh, yeah? And what exactly would that be?”

    “My asset. The Winter Soldier.”

    Steve feels Bucky shift behind him. It's subtle, but it's there. He already wishes the clone would shut up. Wishes he could reach through the glass and tear the words out of his throat before they have a chance to land.

    Or

    Steve and Bucky suddenly have to live with Steve’s HYDRA clone. When the clone starts trying to claim Bucky for himself, the tension between them begins to rise. How long before it breaks?

    Summary

    Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man.

    To break him, you must first shatter his body—again and again and again. Then, you take his mind, his will, his name. You strip him down to something unrecognisable, reshape him into something he was never meant to be. Survival is its own kind of cruelty, and some wounds don’t heal. Some don’t even scar.

    Because war doesn’t just take. It chews men up and spits them out as something else: hollowed beings, stitched haphazardly, and left to stumble forward. No side is ever truly victorious, not when the battlefield becomes a graveyard, and the survivors are left carrying its ghosts. No matter who wins, the cost is always the same: the weight of what can never be undone.

    All wars end the same.

    -
    This is the story of Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, and the Howling Commandos. The war they fought. The men they lost. The scars they carried. The love that blooms, even in the darkest of places, far behind enemy lines.

    Before the ice. Before the Winter Soldier.

    Before it all got worse .

    Summary

    "The Soldat doesn't need the suppressants. He'll go through the heat with his pack, as he should," Josef answers with overwhelming confidence, rolling his shoulders as if shaking off a minor annoyance. "And most importantly, we need his scent to integrate him. Isn't that our mission?" he asks defiantly as he steps away from the Asset and makes room for the technicians. They're fidgeting, not moving until they receive Colonel Karpov's signal.
    Something inside the Asset tells him that Karpov is actually smiling, even though his lips aren't moving an inch.

    Summary

    The Asset has been stolen. It’s not familiar with the new organization that has gotten a hold of it, but it knows it must adapt quickly, follow orders, do well, and prove itself.

    But ever since waking up with bandages carefully wrapped around its torso, it has found itself questioning what its new handler wants—or, more accurately, doesn’t seem to want from it. The Captain doesn’t act like any other handler it has had before, and now the Asset feels like it doesn’t understand anything… least of all its own growing desire to stay by the Captain’s side.
