Summary
When you are around the team, you move as if you're bracing for impact, shoulders hunched and eyes distant. You disappear into yourself like someone bracing for a storm they've survived time and time again, every instinct turned inward, conserving what little warmth you have left.
It happens every month, like clockwork. As if your brain were hardwired to self-destruct at the same time every month.
He tells himself it's not his place. What right does he have to barge into your life demanding answers? Because he could easily delude himself into thinking it's nothing. The others haven't noticed—but then again, none of them look the way he does.
OR: Reader is struggling with PMDD. Bucky helps.

Summary
Kaz's cane echoes in the alleyway, louder than usual. The pull in his leg after a particularly rough stretch of cobblestone sends a flare of resistance that gives him pause. Ever since the Ice Court, his knee has been punishing him tenfold.
Something shifts in the corner of his vision. He immediately flicks his eyes to the parapet, already accounting for a second set of eyes that isn’t there. His teeth press together briefly, the muscle in his cheek tightening. Inej isn't there.
OR: Kaz gets ambushed in an alleyway.

Summary
Bucky Barnes is sent out for coffee in the middle of December with a list of orders that make no sense and a growing hatred of the cold that winter brings to New York. The cafe is a warm, quaint little escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city. He doesn't expect that warmth to linger after he steps back into the cold, following him all the way back to the tower. He especially doesn't expect to volunteer to come back, much less to start looking forward to it because of a certain barista with a warm smile and a voice coated in honey.

Summary
After too many failed dates to count, you'd resolutely sworn off dating for the foreseeable future. But Lois Lane wouldn't let you give up that easily. She swore that her insanely attractive coworker was nothing like the string of disasters you'd endured, that this one was finally different.
Yet there you sat, nursing your second glass of water, with no handsome reporter in sight.
OR: Clark Kent stood you up on your blind date. What you weren't expecting was a heartfelt apology served with a bouquet as he begged you for a second chance.
