Jack and Phryne go undercover as married to a honeymoon resort. I enjoyed this.

Lovely story of Steve and Bucky's friendship throughout the years.

Long, thoughtful story of Bucky learning to live in the world again, and remembering how to be a person when Steve's not around. I especially like his friendship with Pepper in this.

Natasha wants to know all about Steve's love life, including whatever it is he actually feels for Bucky.

Natasha takes up knitting and gifts the team with her work. None of them can say no. Hee!

Mako and Stacker, before; Mako and Raleigh, after. Lovely.

Spot-on slice of life Nick/Cassie fic.

Nicely done story about Steve recovering some letters from the Howling Commandos and using them to help Bucky get acquitted of the Winter Soldier's crimes.

cast reunion/table read

Costis has been captured by the Mede, but Gen has a plan to get him back. Hijinks, as usual, ensue. Oh, poor Costis, always one step behind. This did a great job of evoking the books, even though here the Mede are faux-Roman rather than faux-Persian.

Mac gives Dot The Talk before her wedding night. Oh, this gets the voices down perfectly.

In which Bucky gets knocked out briefly during a mission, wakes up fine, and then spends a day enduring strange hints, clandestine looks, and cryptic texts from his friends. Steve will never let him live this one down. Oh, ♥

Bucky has a weekly spa date. This is adorable

Bucky wants to take Steve away from his unhappiness. Natasha isn't sure about that. (I didn't really buy Natasha's behavior at the beginning, though.)

Steve gets temporarily de-serumed. Bucky's the only one who knows how to deal with him.

Molly reflects on life at the Folly.

Steve and Bucky come together slowly after Bucky gets his head together.

Jack gets hit with temporary amnesia and tries to hide it while working with Phryne on a case. Of course, she knows him too well to be fooled. Ah, lovely.

Two stories (so far?) of super hot Steve/Bucky/Natasha.

Lovely Constance/d'Artagnan.

Ted tries to give Rachel advice, and Reese and Crews banter. Sounds just like the show!

Grayer travels back in time from the future, and ends up living as Hayden, aka, Annie's Harvard hottie.

Rick and Evie, through the years.

Brilliantly done AU where Phryne is a cat burglar and Jack is the police inspector on the case. I also really love the friendship between Jack and Mac here.

Bucky's a little upset that Steve is apparently sexting with Sam. Oh heart. This is fuzzy and adorable.

The story of Zhu Li and Varrick from their first meeting to their honeymoon. This does a great job with the voices (I laughed out loud a lot) and also with why Zhu Li would stay with him, and gets the emotional bits right too. Highly recommended.

Dani, in the aftermath of the series finale. Thoughtful and true to all the characters.

Fun caper fic with the teenage Gentleman Bastards.

Jean and Locke wake up with amnesia and hangovers, and spend a day trying to figure out who they are. Nicely done.

The words you use are a sort of magic, too, because Tiffany’s thinking about all the problems with the story but she’s also thinking about the words “fell and wild”; she’s tucking them into the back of her mind, and thinking that in her next letter to Preston she’ll give those words to him. When he writes back he will say it sounds like wolves in the snow, or something else she could never have thought of, which will be exactly right in the way Preston’s ideas are always exactly right, exactly what she hadn’t known she’d always wanted to hear. in which Tiffany considers the future. Gets her down perfectly.
