    Summary

    Bucky Barnes and his best friend Steve Rogers, along with the rest of the Howling Commandos, boarded a train in the Alps on a hunt for Arnim Zola. By misfortune, Bucky fell from that train, and Steve was unable to save him.

    That fall was a fixed point in time; it cannot be changed.

    What happened after, though? Well, that can be changed. Especially if you have a TARDIS.

    This is a crack fic and also I cried, gently but irresistably, mostly about Steve and Bucky.

    Summary

    “What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?” Clint says, instead.

     

    Barnes snorts. “Having a drink,” he says, then gives Clint another one of those appraising looks. “You a professional?” he says, after a second, and Clint is momentarily confused.

     

    A professional what?

     

    And then he realizes Barnes must be talking about pool, and Clint huffs a laugh. “Only when there’s money involved,” he says, smirking, and Barnes kind of nods, like that makes any sort of sense.

     

    Then Barnes nods again, a little more firmly, and says “You got a place?”

     

    Which is about the point that Clint realizes that he’s not meeting the Winter Soldier in a bar, he’s being picked up by the Winter Soldier in a bar and-

     

    “Yeah,” he croaks, clears his throat, thinks wildly that he’s really fucking glad Kate has Lucky for a few days, and says “Yeah, I got a place.”

     

    Or, how Bucky got his groove back.

    (And Clint too, but it was a different sort of groove)

    Summary

    Garrett Hawke is a simple guy. He likes simple things. Things like playing MMORPGs with his friends. Their guild, Wicked Grace, has been pretty exclusive for a while. But, when the guild becomes interested in recruiting a new member - an elven warrior named Fenris - what used to be a "fun way of passing time" becomes "Operation: Hard in Hightown" (or, as Isabela calls it, "Operation: Get Hawke Laid"). Needless to say, this operation is anything but simple.

    Ongoing epic of fluffy longing!
    Hawke is soft and all of the DA2 characters are nerds playing an MMO called... what was it? Dragon Time? Chips are a plot point, or at least a character trait. There's a convention! And a dog!
    Appearances and cameos from the other DA games & DLC. (Don't eat the eggs at Corey's diner!)
    Did I mention longing? so, so much longing. Read this fic for all the longing, just, ever. It's fabulous. <3

    Summary

    He isn’t in the habit of picking up strays and he isn’t about to start now. He remembers enough of a life from many years ago to know that picking up trouble-prone blonds isn’t a habit he ought to be falling back into.

    Unfortunately, trouble finds him anyway.

    He’s cutting down the side-street that leads to the shop when he hears the sickening sound of fist-on-skin contact, and he rounds the corner to find tall-blond-and-trouble in a literal back-alley brawl with four guys nearly as big as he is. They’re wearing black and white-striped Adidas tracksuits, and Bucky hears at least one of them call the blond guy ‘bro’ in a thick Russian accent.

    Bucky’s not going to get involved.

    He’s not going to get involved, right up to the point that one of the tracksuit thugs pulls a gun out of the back of his pants and releases the safety, and Bucky realizes that he is going to get involved because he’s not going to let anybody get shot in broad daylight if he can help it.

    Fuck’s sake.

     

    OR - escaped, former assassin Bucky Barnes accidentally makes friends with a blond disaster. It goes about as well as expected.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is a great comic where the characters face some big challenges, but the tension is light enough to be comfortable, except of course for the main conflict: getting the Chargers' pictures on their Facebook page! Also, interesting worldbuilding, magic, and original characters! Inquisition characters with basically one cameo from DA:2. Maybe some photobombs I missed? Probably. Have to read it again to be sure.
