Summary
“You’re gonna have to come in eventually,” says Sam, then he takes a deep breath and steps away from Barnes, back towards the club. “But it doesn’t have to be now.” Barnes’ eyes widen, and he goes utterly still. “I’ve got some conditions though, if I’m gonna let you go.”
A year after the helicarriers go down, Sam finds not the Winter Soldier, but Bucky Barnes, who's trying his best to live and not just survive while on the run. Sam finds him and keeps finding him, and eventually, Sam finds himself too.
An alternate take on canon where Sam and Bucky have been secretly meeting up since after CATWS.

Summary
Karli crosses her arms again. “Oh yeah? What’s more urgent than the Power Broker? And I swear, if you tell me it’s classified—”
“Bringing our best friends back home,” says Bucky.
“Your best—” Karli’s eyes go wide. “What, OG Captain America and…?”
“Natasha,” finishes Sam. “The Black Widow.”
“I thought they were dead,” she says. Her face scrunches up into a dubious expression. “Don’t tell me the tabloids are actually right and Steve Rogers has been on the moon.”
“Not on the moon, no, but they are in outer space, and they probably need an extraction from a sticky situation, or a ride back home,” says Sam. “So we’re taking a little space road trip to go pick ‘em up.”
On a space road trip to bring Steve and Natasha back home, Sam, Bucky, and Karli start to figure out just what kind of superheroes they want to be, and Sam and Bucky figure out what kind of life they want to build with a family that includes Steve and Natasha again.
