Summary
Marrying Bucky Barnes wasn’t about love. It was about safety, about getting out of the city that was becoming too dangerous for you to stay in. It was never about love.
So why does he make your heart flutter so erratically? And why does it hurt so badly when he chooses to ignore you? Why does he pretend you don’t exist when you can tell he wants you too?

Summary
“Your Grace! Just the man I was hoping to find!” Wriothesley glances where the voice came from, already bemoaning talking with the owner of the voice.
“Monsieur Dougier,” Neuvillette greets the man. “I thought you were out of town?”
“And miss your lovely performance? Madame I would never,” Dougier flatters the singer as he slides into the booth uninvited. “Though I was hoping I could speak to his grace about some important matters,” Dougier says, eyeing Neuvillette with a smile that borders on a sneer. “Important business matters,” Dougier emphasizes, gesturing for Neuvillette to leave with a flick of his hand. His smile strains when Neuvillette doesn’t move.
“By all means, don’t let me stop you,” Neuvillette says lightly, taking a sip of his drink.
“I was hoping we could speak in private,” Dougier says, his brow twitching slightly in irritation.
“The Madame can stay,” Wriothesley says with a sharp look to Dougier. “If this is about taking out a loan, I’m quite pleased to say I’ll have to decline such a generous offer.” Dougier’s face twitches, the man unable to fully mask the displeasure from being turned down for the millionth time.

Summary
When Denki gets sent to an asylum to "get help" for a seemingly insignificant condition he wasn't even aware he had, there was no way to know that everything would go wrong in the worst ways possible. In a place where he's meant to get help, he ends up picking up more problems. Even when he finds another boy his age there who he believes is his true love, that also goes wrong.
Toya has been in the same asylum for more years than he can remember, and with an extremely codependent relationship with the most unstable patient in the hospital and an unbridled hatred towards his family, he fails to see how anything could actually make him feel... well... anything other than nothing. That is, of course, until a certain orderly entered his life who he's become dangerously attached to.
Both males share the same psychiatrist who seems to want to remain mysterious to a concerning degree. And it's obvious that he's hiding a lot. Is he truly there to help his patients? Or is he playing some sick game for his enjoyment?[Fic playlists at the end of chapter 1]

Summary
It's 1927 and Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers don't know it yet, but they've just found a friend for the ages.
As years go by, and the three musketeers grow from plucky children to mischievous teens and, finally, to young men and women--will the small crush you harbour for Bucky Barnes ever blossom into something more? Or will the war that threatens to tear the three of you apart succeed before you even get the chance?
An autobiography of sorts--and a winding road. The ways in which you loved Bucky Barnes span years, decades, lifetimes. It ends in Russia, or the Arctic, or Times Square--depending on who you ask.
But it starts in Brooklyn.
