    Summary

    Bucky Barnes leads a charmed life in New York; a well-off family, high-flying job, and caring boyfriend. At least—that’s how it looks from the outside. Until the day he finds himself out of work and newly single, set upon by parents determined to micromanage their prodigal son and his emotional support ice cream up off the couch and back into society where he belongs.

    Cue a drunken movie marathon with some old college buddies, a spur-of-the-moment vacation to New Zealand, and a lesson in taking the road less travelled—courtesy of a hot local named Steve who’s on a mission all of his own.

    From Cape Reinga to Invercargill—lollies will be eaten, cultural norms will be misinterpreted, and two idiots will fall in love somewhere along the way.

    Summary

    The Soldier doesn't know why he pulled the Target from the river. He doesn't know why his body isn't obeying the orders given to him by his mind. He doesn't know what to do next.
    The only person promising answers is the Target himself. Luckily, the Soldier has his phone number.

    Summary

    That spring Steve hears a lot about what’s big in algebraic topology from Mary as she talks a mile a minute in the car passenger seat, across the dinner table, under worn-out beach umbrellas or climbing up him like he’s still her favorite jungle gym though she’s almost too big now. What he gathers mostly is that, in order to classify shapes, mathematicians spend a lot of time trying to distinguish between differences that matter and those that don’t.

    And isn’t that the trick in life, thinks Steve: figuring out what matters.

    (Doesn’t help in explaining Bucky, though, but he’s not sure what would.)

     

    Or: Steve as the single dad from Gifted and Bucky as the DJ from Monday. Sort of.
