    Summary

    Steve crosses his arms, feeling more than a little defensive. "Look, it's not my first choice either, but there's no other option. There's literally not another room in all of Susquehanna with space for me."

    Bucky looks as though his soul is about to leave his body in sheer annoyance. "I just—I really thought I was going to have a single this year."

    "Yeah?" Steve keeps himself from snapping, but only just. "I thought I was going to have a room this year."

    *

    In which Steve and Bucky are forced to room together their senior year at boarding school, and accidentally soul bond to each other even though they kind of hate each other. All they have to do to get out of it is not kiss each other for a year so the accidental bond will fade. How hard could it be?

    Summary

    “That one,” Tony says gleefully. “I pick him.”

    “Him?” Bucky hisses. “Steve Rogers?”

    “Bet’s a bet,” Tony says smugly. “Make Steve Rogers the class president by the end of the year.”

    “Motherfucker,” Bucky curses. Then he takes a fortifying breath. He can do this. He’s Bucky Son of A Senator Barnes. He runs a hand through his hair, messing it up in the front just the way he knows men and women like it.

    “Fine,” he says. “Okay. By the end of the year. Easy.”

    ***

    When Bucky Barnes--son of a state Senator, future president of his fraternity, and co-captain of his college’s soccer team--gets unceremoniously and very publicly dumped at a party, his entire reputation hangs on by the thinnest thread. Drunk and humiliated, he does the only thing that makes sense--he makes a bet with Tony Stark.

    Now Bucky has the length of the school year to take Steve Rogers--small, asthmatic, environmentally-conscious art nerd, political activist, and complete social disaster--and turn him into the student body president. How many misunderstandings, shenanigans, and college tropes will abound before Bucky realizes that Steve Rogers, well, he’s all that?

    "I shouldn't be surprised I got your voicemail. Our life is nothing if not a bunch of missed phone calls, after all."

    Or: If Steve learned to make the call, and Bucky learned to pick up.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers is a famous actor who is about to release a new movie when a violent altercation at Pride Day labels him as a homophobe and threatens to ruin his career.
    James Barnes is a brilliant, but unknown, actor who is typecast as a pained gay man.
    To solve both problems with one stroke, Rogers’ and Barnes’ agents come up with a beneficial-for-all agreement: a fake relationship.
    Steve hates it until he realizes James is the hottest guy he ever crossed paths with, and now
    a) he just doesn’t want to stop fake-cuddling that jerk
    b) all the fake-touches are becoming too real to be just acting
    c) all the fake-kisses are tasting too real to be healthy.

    Summary

    Wanda and Pietro Maximoff – twins, artificially enhanced, dangerous. The files are sparse on details.

    “What do you think?” asks a deep voice that has been haunting Steve’s dreams and waking hours.

    Steve tries to glare at James, but one look at those grey-blue eyes leaves him breathless, disarmed.

    They spent just one night together. The next morning, James woke with a limp in his step but with his skin wiped clean of every bruise. Steve made more, savage with the knowledge that nothing he could do would be permanent, that the imprint of his teeth couldn’t stay on James’s skin any more than James himself could stay with Steve in that sleepy motel in the middle of nowhere. And James let him, baring every inch of himself like he wanted the marks with the same desperation as Steve, like he was also choking on the looming end of their stolen hours.

    It’s been seven months, and now James is in front of him, solid and true, no longer a wistful daydream.
