Summary
The fog is lifting. No resets. No wipes. No handler.
HYDRA’s collapse leaves James Barnes without orders for the first time in his adult life. He doesn’t return to the Avengers. He doesn’t go back to Steve. Instead, he turns toward the wreckage and begins dismantling what’s left.
He has a mission partner. Someone who hates HYDRA as much as he does.
Reintegrating into a person again is a slow, incremental process. But James is learning that he can lean on Helmut Zemo. That some firsts don’t have to hurt. That recovery can be still. And shared.

Summary
Helmut Zemo is both resentful and relieved by Sam Wilson’s presence in the safehouse.
Relieved, because Sam’s proximity keeps certain lines intact. Because James Barnes, when Sam is near, remains just out of reach.
Resentful, because Zemo wants him anyway.
He wants to possess the man. To run his hand through James’ heart, to coil his soul around James’ core and hold him there, endless and enclosed, without beginning or end. The desire is vast enough to be frightening.
It is agony to be in love with a mated Alpha.
Sam Wilson and James “Bucky” Barnes are bond-mated, under orders by the US Government to soothe and regulate the rabid former Winter Soldier assassin, a powerful Alpha. But Helmut Zemo and James Barnes are careening toward the edge of the cliff face. Hearts are bound to break. True bonds are inevitable. Fate will have the last laugh.

Summary
James Barnes woke in a strangled cry, chest heaving, ragged gasps.
“Zemo,” James choked. “It’s not been me. The Soldier - he’s been here. He’s been living as me. He’s tapped your phone, email, everything. Get help - Sam, Wakanda, anybody - he wants to raise Hydra from the ashes!”
Zemo stroked his shoulder, soothing. “It is only a night terror, darling. You are safe. Here, with me.”
But James only clung harder, eyes wild. “No, no. It’s him. I'm not strong enough, he might hurt you.."
Zemo soothed him back to sleep, dismissing the echoes of old trauma. He would notice if the Winter Soldier had taken his husband’s place. Wouldn’t he?

Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

Shane Hollander's Guide to Winning Free Agency by DistantStorm
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
04 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Shane Hollander is a UFA on July 1, 2019 at 12pm Eastern. An Unrestricted Free Agent, or UFA for short, is a player of a certain tenure whose contract has ended and can sign with any team of their choosing. If it were anyone else, a player walking to his UFA day would strike fear into the fans and managers hearts. They could lose a player for nothing.
On the morning of July 1, 2019, with Shane Hollander set to test free agency, the Montreal Metros and their fanbase aren't worried. It's well documented that Shane Hollander has always held out for the best deal, and being a free agent is his leverage. Everyone knows that he’ll sign another deal with the Metros.
But maybe everyone is wrong.
(Alternatively: the one where Shane Hollander finds out ahead of schedule that Ilya Rozanov is lonely.)

Summary
“Six on one, huh?” Hayden says, looking down at the guy and then back at Shane.
“Yup,” Shane says. The cop starts to lead him to the car. He doesn’t bother to put up a fight. Just turns to J.J. and says in French, “I’ve been under the security camera since I called Hayden. It should have picked everything up.”
“Self-defense, then, and you can prove it. Yes?”
If the cop hadn’t closed the door then, Shane might even have responded: and I don’t have a scratch on me.
Or: After the fanmail video, but before Shane transfers to Ottawa, a group of guys sees Shane walking alone and decides to do something about it. It doesn’t go particularly well for them.

Summary
“You…wanted to see me?” He asks, barely resisting a wince at how awkwardly it comes out. “After yesterday-” He stops, swallows.
Hollander makes a face–one of Ilya’s favorite faces, in fact–that says he’s a little embarrassed about what he’s about to say. Ilya feels his chest go a little tighter, wondering if Hollander has had time to reconsider, if he’d even planned to reach out after the game, apologize for spooking and running, ask to come ba-
“Did something…happen yesterday?” Hollander asks.
Ilya stares at him.
(the accident that takes shane out for the season happens the day after the tuna meltdown) (...it also takes his memory of the tuna meltdown with it)
