Summary
Steve'd thought about it for a minute. You're saying Bucky had the equivalent of multiple abusive childhoods, one after the other.
Sam rubbed his forehead. Pretty much. And that shit leaves a lot of marks - I mean, it literally shapes the brain. He might remember when you were kids? Sam grimaced. But the other stuff might basically be mapped in deeper, because it happened so many times over. So much more.
Carved in, Steve said, and Sam'd winced.
He's thought about that a lot, since then.

Summary
I cannot see the path.
Perhaps there is only abyss.
Trembling, I step forward,
In darkness enveloped.
-Canticle of Trials 1:13Cullen spun to face the next of the demons pouring out of the blighted hole in the sky, reached for the skills he'd used instinctively since he was eighteen years old--and snarled under his breath when, for the hundredth time, he found aching emptiness instead of lyrium-fueled power.
He couldn't even begin to count the dead--mages and templars indistinguishable as twisted corpses in the destroyed Temple, men he knew and those he didn't, fighting beside him one minute and fast-freezing bodies the next. They were all going to die, and he was fighting without skills he'd relied on for so long he couldn't remember what it was like without them.

Summary
the mud is going to soak through into the seat of my pants no matter what i do, but even so, when i reach their gravestones, side by side like they are, i shrug off my jacket and lay it down on the ground before dropping to sit, spreading my legs out, kicking off my wet slippers, wiggling my toes in the air before pressing my bare feet against the cold stones. i don’t got flat feet-- that’s like, a serious medical condition, i’ve heard-- but when i press my feet down against the ground, all bare like this, they go flat anyways. i can feel every inch of stone right up against the arch of my foot.
maybe that’s too descriptive. it makes me feel closer to them, at any rate. if i could, i’d dig my hands right into the spot in the ground where i’m sitting, pushin’ aside handful after handful of mud and clay, until i reached them, and then i would burrow myself in between their graves and just go to fuckin’ sleep.
i haven’t thought like this in a bit. maybe i really shouldn’t’ve come alone.

The wool blanket is navy with some intricate threads of cream woven in. He traces a stitch with the pad of his thumb, but stops and frowns when he notices that his knuckles have healing yellow bruises on them.
He wonders where that's from, then subsequently stiffens and wonders where the hell he is.
Which, you know, leads him to his next question: Who is he?

Or: Peter wakes up with no memories in a remote cabin where a mysterious man tells him that they're married.

Silent, Silver and Deadly IV: Shinsou by opalspring21

Summary
Part IV: Shinsou
Shinsou Hitoshi doesn't remember his birth parents. Apparently, they gave him up when he was a newborn. He likes to imagine they were good people, good people who couldn't take care of a child and gave him away in the hope that it would give him the best chance at life. They couldn't know how badly it would go for him. That's what he liked to think.
Shinsou Hitoshi had a very strange friend (well, ok, most of his friends were very strange, but Silver was Weird). But when they're asked to do projects on their families and he's partnered with her, it seems like a cool idea to ask her if she can find anything about his birth parents.
It doesn't end how he thought it would.

Summary
Steve has no plan. Not because he hadn't tried to make one. He'd tried to make lots of plans. Plan, adapt, plan again, tried to think of every contingency.
And then he'd thrown them away, because there wasn't much point. What could you plan for? He couldn't guess the possible contingencies, the situations, the potentials. And he sure as sure hadn't figured on what's happened now, on coming back to his place and finding Bucky here. He hadn't even hoped for that.
He hadn't realized he could.

Bookmarker's Notes
Dick doesn’t have the heart to tell her the truth. In his dreams, Slade doesn’t have to ask him to return. He does so on his own, with nothing but quiet resignation. It is only when he wakes that the terror hits, and no amount of company or reassurance can help with that.
and
Then Slade flicks off the safety, and presses the gun harder into Dick’s forehead. “If I ask you to kneel, would you do it?” he says, more curious than threatening.
Dick’s breathing stutters. He looks to the floor. “You have a gun to my head,” he whispers. “Of course I would.”
“You know a million ways to break my grip,” Slade says. “If I asked you to kneel, would you do it?”
Dick shudders. He closes his eyes, swallows. “Yes,” he breathes, and tries not to hate himself too much for it.
