    Summary

    When what should have been a straight forward mission in Hell's Kitchen goes pear shaped due to lack of communication, teaching his teammates sign language seems like a logical step to Clint. Communication when their comms are down - great plan! And including the local vigilante, who's been working closely with them on this, is a real no-brainer.

    Until it turns out said vigilante is an asshole that thinks sign language is beneath him, judging by the way he's stubbornly refusing to learn it.

    (Conversely - Matt's trying, he really is but damn it, those two signs are exactly the same... what do you mean they mean completely different things?!)

    Summary

    Nureyev has a very complicated relationship with locked doors that boils down to one rule: if it locks, he and Juno need to be on the same side of it. Unfortunately, the world doesn't revolve around said rule. When a heist gone wrong makes that abundantly clear, the mask of Peter Ransom cracks just a little more.

    in which a confused but supportive Buddy Aurinko helps Nureyev unpack a few of his many filing cabinets.

    Summary

    Juno can’t breathe. Nureyev didn’t recognize him. Nureyev, the man who wears a mask every day from the moment he wakes up til he falls asleep at night, who sees through every mask and disguise, who catches every minute facial expression and catalogs it, looked through the eyeholes of his golden fox mask and didn’t recognize Juno Steel.

    (or, the masquerade ball fic no one asked for ever)

    Summary

    “Why did you think I wouldn’t like you for being gay?” Steve asks gently.

    “You’re Captain America.” Eli’s got his teeth clenched and is resolutely looking ahead. “You stand for truth and justice and the American way. You stand for American morals. You stand for…” he shrugs awkwardly. “Not people like me.”

    Steve blows the air out of his cheeks slowly, trying to figure out how to keep the anger out of his voice so Eli doesn’t think it’s at him.

    Or, Steve comes to terms with his new world, and gains some children in the process.
