Summary: Life just hasn't been the same since Steve came back from the army. Left alone and fragile, he follows the direction of his therapist to get out there and seek out a human connection.

Warnings: Post-Apocalyptic

Relationships: Steve/Bucky

Characters: James “Bucky” Barnes, Steve Rogers

Word count: 30k

Summary:

Bucky’s daily circuit, without fail, takes him to the small plot of land where Steve is buried. Brooklyn’s ghostly ruins are the perfect setting for the once proud tombstone, now battered and sloping from wind and grit.

Sometime in the future, Earth has been left uninhabitable after a long alien war. The few humans remaining fled to the skies, leaving only Bucky Barnes behind to monitor the dying planet.

Then, a very much alive Steve Rogers crash lands at his front door.

(also known as: the fic where Bucky wants to be a sugar daddy but it’s post the apocalypse so there’s not much he can do)

Summary: Bucky doesn’t fall and Steve doesn’t crash. The Howling Commados take out the remaining Hydra bases...and then they go home, just like all the other allied soldiers. Throughout the war, they discuss what each of them would do if they make it back again. The only person Steve doesn’t ask is Bucky. He’s afraid of the answer. 

Steve himself isn’t sure if he knows how to do anything but be a soldier and a weapon anymore, but remembering the promise he made he vows to try to be just a good man again. 

He buys a farm in Washington state, and tries to relearn how to be at peace.

(Featuring: Steve as a bearded farmer, two rescued puppies, badass Peggy Carter speaking truth, the Howling Commandos doing the same, an apple orchard, soldier homecoming angst, and two dumb boys waiting way too long to talk it out--but don’t worry, they do!)
