Summary
Steve’s spent an hour along Portobello Road before he sees the paparazzi on the left side of the street, trying to be inconspicuous by a street lamp. He crosses the street and ducks into the first store he sees, tucked behind a screaming red door and under a blue and white striped awning.
He listens, feet planted in front of the door, shoulders tense, as he looks around the shop. Row upon row of books are on the shelves in front of him, the wood creaking under their weight. Behind the counter is a dark haired man wearing a jacket, elbow on the table, stubbled chin on one hand, gloved left hand flipping the pages of a book.
No one follows Steve in.
Or, the one where Captain America travels the world, learns how to be Steve Rogers again, and meets Bucky Barnes along the way.
Also: the one where two old souls fall in love over young adult books, long distance calls, and texting at strange hours of the day.- Language:

Summary
Bucky is a rockstar, one year sober, his sober chips shaped into guitar picks. Steve is an army vet wrangled by a friend who needed an additional bodyguard for the tour. Their time together is made up of small moments, quiet stretches where the whirlwind of the tour and Bucky’s thorny past fades into the background. But nothing stays in the past for long and Bucky will need to face up to it sooner or later.

Summary
Maria Elena Popescu’s apartment building might be a faceless grey dump, but it’s her faceless grey dump, and she’s proud of it. It’s small – three floors, and three very poky flats to a floor, except for the bottom floor that was the entrance hall and her own quarters – but that just meant she knew everybody who lived here, and liked them. Nobody was allowed to come in here and make it worse, or disreputable, not even tall dark and good-looking foreigners who reacted with an appropriate amount of fear when Maria eyeballed them.

Summary
In his dreams, their fingers brush in the Alps. Sometimes, he swears he could have pulled Bucky back from the brink by the curl of a finger.

Summary
Without all the drugs, the memory stuff had started flooding back in. Which was a laugh and a half, squatting in some leased flat that wouldn’t know a proper air conditioner if it had eyeballs, so Bucky had battened down the hatches and gone out to get himself a job.
Enter Falucci’s Corner Store.
