    Summary

    The Soldier is the best of the best, the assassin his employers send when they don't want it to look like a murder—or when they want it to be an all-too-obvious murder, when they want a shot from a position that no one else could have made, a death so blatant that no one else could have pulled it off.

    Well, almost no one else.

    There's the Captain, of course, although the Soldier hates to admit it. But the Captain is his equal, and the two of them have spent years thwarting each other. Their employers are most often on opposite sides, and the Soldier has come up against the Captain so often that the familiarity he feels when he sees him is dangerously close to fondness.

    ~o~

    In which two hitmen discover, against all rational thought, that they have feelings for each other.

    Summary

    Bucky smiles into his phone. “Yeah, thanks, Mom. Actually, I had a few questions? What age do babies start mimicking language, aka cussing? And what age do they start walking?”
    “Is this for your book?” his mother asks suspiciously.
    “Yes,” Bucky says, staring into the eyes of the baby on his couch. “Yes."

    Summary

    Steve has his own heist crew. Bucky has his own heist crew.
    They vaguely know about each other in the way people in the same line of work sometimes vaguely know each other - which is to say, not at all. They know of the others' existence. Barely.

    And then one day their paths cross. And things have the potential to get very lethal very fast.
    Unless they don't.
    Unless possibly nothing works out exactly to plan.
    Unless nothing is quite what it seems.

     

    So here then is a heist fic which channels Leverage a lot and John Wick a little, because plot and action happen to me no matter what i do, it seems.
    Battle couples and happy endings all the way.

    Written for MTH 2024.

    Summary

    MARRIED?”

    “Basically married. Permanently engaged anyway. Weres have their own deal.” Natasha sounds much, much too gleeful about Steve’s rapidly expanding personal hell. “So you better wake your blushing bride and tell him the happy news: that it was an accident and you had no idea what you were doing.”

    “I,” Steve says, strangled. “I can’t do that!”

    “You can’t?”

    “He thought I was proposing! And he accepted!”

    “Wow, maybe he’s just as dumb as you are,” Natasha says thoughtfully.

    “I can’t just promise him a ring, take him home, drink from him three times in a row and then wake him up the next morning to say oops, just kidding!” Steve casts around, looking at his wreck of an apartment. “I don’t even have any good champagne!”
