They keep moving, straight on by The Persistence of Memory and onto Picasso. “This stuff I remember, too,” Steve says, looking over at Bucky. “There’s lots of other stuff downstairs that’s just—well, you’ll see. I never thought Picasso would seem, I dunno. Old and familiar.” Gorgeous, melancholy, Steve and Bucky and art through the years. *sobs*

When Nightingale disappears, Peter tries to find out what happened to him. But with the London Olympics opening in a few days and a string of magical crimes across the city, he can't afford to let any more major tourist attractions blow up either. Excellent casefile set after Broken Homes that gets Peter's narration just right.

Batman needs his Robins. Even in the Nolanverse. Long, lovely, heart-clenchy story of Bruce and Selina in the aftermath, collecting orphans to make up their family, with a lovely Selina POV. Oh my heart. Plus, there's a whole set of timestamps to go with it: http://archiveofourown.org/series/46430

How Bucky ended up in Tennessee he didn't know. How he ended up befriending a squirt with a potato gun and a fancy workshop, nobody knew.

Five quiet moments between Amelia and Ramses over the years. This is lovely, and really captures both the feel of the books and Amelia's voice. *sniffle*

Steve is an open book in nearly every way, just not in this. If he’s bad at hiding things, it’s because he’s never had any real reason to before. Everyone has secrets, though, even the most upstanding folks; even Captain America. While this fact surprises Barnes not at all—Steve might be superhuman and a living legend to boot, but he’s still just a man—what he finds isn’t what he honestly expected. After years of secrets being kept from him and having none of his own, he knows well enough the things people like to hide, whether for leverage or personal gain, or just to protect themselves or what—or whom—they love. Even happiness, sometimes, if they’re scared enough it might be taken away. It figures. Only Steve Rogers's deepest, darkest secrets could manage to be as blithely innocent as the rest of him, and it’s something of an unexpected relief to Barnes that Steve remains so steadfastly wholesome, even in the things he most wants hidden from the world. It’d be sickening if it weren’t so predictable, if it weren’t the cornerstone around which Barnes's entire life is currently built. Bucky finds Steve's old sketchbooks and susses out his secrets. Steve's angry about it until he isn't. Breathtakingly gorgeous.
