This is so fucking funny

[fiction-quotes]

Five miles further on...

The wind off the sea blows away all doubts, it blows away the past and the smallness of this world, it tears open the sky the fields ripple like water; it blows away the tiny cramped-up prison bars that you built across your soul the wind is...

Theo isn't sure he has the words for what it is. It is a thing he cannot express. If he could express it, he might have to say what else the wind purges from his soul, and he can't imagine saying these things out loud would make anyone happy.

Summary:

Steve Rogers is a wealthy philanthropist and the owner of Rogers Inc, an American conglomerate that works closely with Stark Industries. While acquiring a small company, Project Insight, a subsidiary of S.H.I.E.L.D, Steve learns that S.H.I.E.L.D might not be the company he thought it was. After stumbling into a back-room at a party, he finds James Barnes, an escort - or so he seems - in one of S.H.I.E.L.D’s prostitution rings. But Barnes seems familiar, and Steve is sure they met once, many years ago, and the encounter changed his life forever. Can Steve free Bucky from the grips of HYRDA, bring down S.H.I.E.L.D, and protect his business at the same time? Bucky has been bent and broken and Steve wants to help him as much as he can, but can he stop himself falling for him along the way?

What if your life were defined by a number?

What if any crime could be committed without punishment, so long as you could afford to pay the fee assigned to that crime?
