While Steve is out looking for him, Bucky moves into his old apartment and starts making some improvements. Oh heart.

It takes Bucky a few tries to tell Steve that he loves him. Aw boys.

Melancholy look at Steve's search for Bucky and Bucky's ultimate return.

"How did you recognize me?" he demands again. Marci tears open an alcohol wipe, wonders if she needs something stronger, and rolls her eyes at him. "I've been dating your best friend on and- ah-" she winces at the sting-"off for six years, Murdock. I know what you look like, the way you move. Just because you've got a stupid ass mask on that covers your damn cheekbones doesn't mean I won't recognize you." She pauses, adds, "Asshole." I really enjoyed this story of Marci and Matt being bros.

This is a really sweet moving story about Honey Lemon.

In which Lily places a bet, does some investigating, gets in a fight, fixes a broken nose and learns a few things about her friends, that idiot James Potter, and herself. Three very complicated weeks towards the end of the year, because that's the only time anything actually happens at Hogwarts right? I really enjoyed this.

Lovely Marauder era James/Lily and Remus/Sirius.

Bucky Barnes and Susan Pevensie. It doesn't seem like it should work but it does. Sharp and melancholy.

Lovely Bucky-recovery story.

Shitty takes Lardo as his fake date to a family wedding. Lardo decides it's time to finally act on her feelings. Oh heart.

Kamala has an unexpected and quiet encounter with some Avengers. Lovely.

“I don’t care if you ask Blue.” Gansey hits the brakes a little harder than their slow approach to the stop light really requires. “I couldn’t,” he says, with what Ronan knows is valiant effort. Adam shrugs. “I don’t care, she’s not mine or anything. You obviously want to.” “She would stab all of us if she even knew we were having this conversation.” Gansey eases forward as the light goes green. “Hey,” Ronan says. “She has a knife now and I am not a part of this.” “Too late.” Adam smirks. He meets Ronan’s eyes in the mirror finally. “You’re an accomplice now.” “To rank misogyny,” Gansey says, but his lips are quirked in a small, secret smile that Ronan hasn’t seen in quite some time. This is actually listed as Adam/Ronan and it's that, but the stuff with Blue and her boys is always my favorite part of anything. This is adorable on all levels.

Very sweet story where Felicity is a virgin but Oliver doesn't know that and things don't go as planned when they decide to finally have sex. Oh Ollie.

A quiet, meditative look at Clarke's journey after the events of the s2 finale. I love that she's already being remade into a legend among the grounders, and how she has to learn to control her own narrative in order to make peace with it. Also Indra is the best.

“So when you said,” Bitty says breathlessly, cutting Jack off mid-sentence, “that you wouldn’t mind taking me to Winter Screw…” “Bitty,” Jack tells him in a low voice, “Eric. I would take you anywhere.” Hilarious and happily heart-clenchy Jack/Bitty from Shitty's POV.

AU where Natasha is still raised in the Red Room and trained by the Winter Soldier, but he's a father figure for her. He breaks his programming enough to escape with her to America, where they start over again. Lovely
