When Bucky's metal arm starts giving him trouble, he turns to Steve (who turns to Tony and Bruce) for help. Lovely.

"Nat, what are you doing?" Or, five times Natasha used unconventional means of flying. Exactly what it says on the tin. Highly enjoyable look at Natasha at work.

Bucky almost freezes to death in Antarctica. Steve warms him up. Aw.

Bucky tries to set Natasha up, with little success, until Maria Hill. This is sweet and funny.

Achingly melancholy missing scene that follows the Winter Soldier from Nick Fury's assassination in Steve's apartment to the end of the movie. Gorgeous.

Adam joins Ronan in his dreams. Things get intense.

After Gansey's mother and sister take Blue out for a makeover, Gansey helps restore her to herself. Lovely.

Remus takes tea with Hagrid during his first year at Hogwarts. Oh my heart. Precious babies! *sobs*

Exquisitely wistful story in which Bucky moves upstate to keep bees and Steve misses him even when they're together.

Three times Steve and Bucky were found sleeping together. Soft and sweet. Aw heart.

Adorable story in which sometime in the future, Adam and Ronan accidentally acquire a baby. This is really lovely (though Gansey's unremarked absence is surprisingly painful).

Wonderful, evocative story of Wanda grieving and making a new place for herself in the world.

Steve and Bucky try to put themselves back together again in the 21st century. Oh boys. Both wistful and hopeful and hilariously funny in spots.

Bucky and Natasha manage Steve through Peggy's funeral. Oh my heart.

Super hot Matt/Claire knifeplay.

The Wives watch Max with Furiosa and learn a little about consensual sex. Lovely.

In which Sam tries to use music to bring Bucky up to speed on the history he's missed. The other Avengers have some suggestions. Aw heart.

Molly and Peter bond while building a table from Ikea. Oh heart.

Sweet, hot, in character first time for Adam and Ronan (of course Adam needs Ronan to meet him halfway!) but my favorite thing is the last line. Hee!

It's one thing to stand and scream "We are not things!" It is something different to sit down in the quiet that follows and find what that means. Furiosa and the wives rebuild in the aftermath of the movie. Lovely.

Utterly stunning look at Bucky's recovery from his POV.

Bucky, Steve, and Natasha, long after the apocalypse, find a new place to rest.

Bucky's identity as the Winter Soldier comes out, and everyone has to deal with the aftermath. Have tissues handy. Oh my heart.

Johnny Storm asks Peter to fake marry him for ~reasons. Oh heart.

Quiet, lovely Adam/Ronan fake dating full of emo teenage boys having feelings. Oh heart.

Bucky shows up and Sam gets a ringside view of the Steve/Bucky UST show. He kind of wishes he hadn't. Hee!

The kids get stranded when the Pig dies and they have to work out sleeping arrangements when there's only one room (two beds) at the hotel. One of my favorite tropes, hilariously and excellently deployed.

The evolution of Tony and Pepper's relationship. Oh heart.
