    Summary

    A few weeks after stabilizing the Circus and coming to terms with their permanent life there, the gang agrees to bring Caine back- on the condition that Kinger rewrites his code and removes his power over the world.

    Caine awakens to find himself on relatively equal footing with humans for the first time in his life. Can he learn to listen and understand them now that he's no longer bound to his program's original purpose? Will the humans ever be able to truly forgive him for everything he's done to them? Can anything truly change?

    Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

    Summary

    Sam met the blue eyes in front of him. The last time he’d seen them, they were cold, empty, and calculated, practically staring through him as he ripped the wings from his suit.

    In that moment, in the rundown warehouse, they were directly on him. In their proximity, Sam realized that Barnes looked terrified. His eyes were wide, frantically searching his face. He wasn’t fighting back, even though they both knew he could.

    “I don’t want to hurt anyone,” Barnes rasped, voice tight from the pressure on his throat. His hands gripped Sam’s forearm, yet didn’t pry it off of him.

    -

    Or, Sam does find Barnes. Multiple times. Somehow, they learn to trust each other.

    Summary

    “We should stop,” Sam pants the next time he draws back. But his hands somehow end up on Bucky’s waist, a rough grip that makes his knees weak and makes an unfamiliar warmth burn in his stomach.

    “Probably,” Bucky agrees, because it’s the logical thing to say. He knows it and Sam knows it and all they need to do is just – stop. It might be awkward for a bit, but they can just pretend it never happened and go on bickering with each other until this mission is done. That’s what should happen.

    But if Bucky’s being honest with himself, it’s not what he wants to happen.

     

    (Sam and Bucky sleeping together throughout TFATWS. 5 times they say it means nothing, and the 1 time it means everything.)

    Summary

    Killian Jones was, by far, the worst, weakest, most ineffectual Dark One ever. (According to the Darkness, at least.) And he was fine with that. He was just a slave, a deckhand—what use did he have of dark magic? And even less want. But the Darkness has vowed to firmly get him under its grasp, one of these days. He finds respite in a beautiful secluded garden—and the amazing woman he eventually meets there. The question remains, though: is it—is she—enough to keep him out of the dark completely? One can only hope...
