In which the world has gone to hell in a zombie apocalypse handbasket and, in the middle of it all, Steve finds the one person he never thought he'd see again. Angst and feelings (amongst other things) ensue.

Here is the only thing you know: the body remembers.

The one where Steve and Bucky pose as a happily married couple while on a mission for SHIELD, to catch an international arms dealer hiding in a suburban neighbourhood.

Between the two of them, Bucky's not the only one with ghosts. All Bucky can think, holding on to Steve the way he's always done, in one way or another, the ugly truth of something creeping into his awareness, is 'who the fuck dared not love him?'

Steve and Bucky from the 30s to 1945. Inspired by an Avengerkink prompt about Steve and Bucky hiding their relationship.

Steve is sent undercover to catch an elusive Russian assassin. He didn’t want to do it in the first place; he’s damn certain he won’t be asked again.

“You really never did grow up all the way, did you, Steve? Of course it changes things. But hey.” He lifts his glass, and Steve reluctantly lets go to join in the toast. “Who says change has to be bad?”

Steve lets SHIELD think he and Bucky were boyfriends so they’ll let him see the Winter Soldier in medical.

Steve reaches out and hooks his fingers around Bucky's, holding on the way he didn't--couldn't--all those years ago.

He should have worked it out sooner. But then, Steve always was a sneaky little bastard—had to have been, just to survive this long.

"Do it," he goads. "Do it or come back home with me and let me help you. But you gotta do it now, Buck, because I can't take another moment of this hell."

Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life. Back then, Spencer had replied, "I love you too. I love you very much." This could be a love story someday.

To say that he didn’t know when it began would have been a bald-faced lie and, whatever else Aaron Hotchner might have been, he was not a liar. Even when he tried to be one to himself.

It isn't fair to compare Spencer to Haley—something Aaron tells himself every time he and Spencer are together—but he finds himself unable to stop. Aaron and Spencer work through the highs and the lows that real life brings, including the devastating attack by Foyet and Haley’s murder.

When Rossi realizes that Hotch is interested in Reid, he pretends to show interest in our favorite genius to make Hotch jealous enough to finally pursue the relationship.

A year after the murder of his ex-wife, Hotch begins to experience night terrors that threaten to unravel his career and home life. In denial about seeking help, he finds an ally in Reid who eventually becomes the fulcrum who could either save him or destroy him.

It usually goes like this: they have a bad case, Aaron goes to Spencer’s apartment, Spencer lets Aaron fuck him, Aaron leaves and they don’t talk about it.

The BAU is called out to Santa Barbara on a case where Spencer Reid meets Shawn Spencer. Shawn helps put some things in perspective.

Hotch holds the sprig of mistletoe by the stem, cocks an eyebrow, and waits for an explanation. Because, in the four months Spencer Reid has been on his team, Hotch knows that there’s going to be one. What he doesn't know is that it will become a tradition.

Bucky says, "Do you know, after you leave -- every time you leave, after the doctors have taken my mask off, I walk around this place and try to find everywhere you've been. Was your hand on the toaster? Did you lean against the doorway? Where were you on the couch? I haven't seen your face in seventy-five years, not really."

Thursdays become a kind of tradition for them. It's an unspoken agreement. The venue switches each week. If they're at Reid's apartment, Reid leaves the office first and Hotch brings dinner an hour later. If they're at Hotch's house, he leaves first and dinner is left up to Reid. They don't ever stay overnight, not since that night Hotch spent on Reid's couch after Haley left. Instead they spend a few hours watching whatever is on the Food Network, and then part ways.

Steve and Bucky are at a gay bar in the 30s, and some guy offers them money to take pictures of them as they fuck. They need the money, they say yes, and pretty much forget about it afterwards. The pictures come out years later.

In this alternate version of present day, Reid is a disgraced, former FBI agent from the White Collar Crime division who has been wrongfully convicted of the brutal murder of his partner, Elle Greenaway. Sent to a federal penitentiary and thrown in amongst other killers, he doesn't expect to survive too long until he catches the attention of a mercurial thief and gang leader named Hotch. Hotch offers Reid protection but he expects much in return, and ropes Reid into a paranoid plan to oust the prison warden. The more Reid sees of Hotch, the less he trusts him, and the more he realizes that his...

A year after Reid voluntarily leaves the F.B.I., Hotch discovers that Diana Reid is dead and he must find his former colleague and friend in hopes of setting a few things right.

"Does he ever strike you as the high romance sort, Penelope? You know, the kind of guy who goes for flowers and candy and moonlit dinners?"

Reid is developing schizophrenia and Hotch takes care of him.

“So,” Reid says, eyeing Hotch warily, “I’m going to leave you here to freak out as you slowly realize that we’ve been dating for a while and you just didn’t know it.”

Everything is about sex except for sex itself.

Three years since Nathan Harris first entered the BAU's lives, he's back, a suspect once again. But this time, it seems he really is the unsub.

The day they broke up was a week short of what would have been their two year anniversary. Spencer didn’t feel remotely sorry when Aaron said, “I hope this won’t affect our working relationship,” and he responded with, “Fuck you.” // A disordered timeline of before, during, after, and again.
