John Walker: U.S. Agent (ao3) - ShadowPuncher
T, 2k
Summary: A couple of years ago, John Walker had it all. He was a celebrated War Hero, the inheritor of the Captain America mantle. He had a wife he was desperately in love with, a best friend he would die for, and a country he believed in more than anything. And then he lost it all. His best friend was killed. He was discharged of duty, his rank as Captain America stripped from him. His wife divorced him and took his child with her. Now all he has left is his job, operating as the U.S. Agent for the defense company OXE and its CEO, Valentina Allegra De Fontaine.
Now, De Fontaine has a new mission for John, one that will put him in the middle of a conspiracy involving political secrets, hidden islands, insidious cabals of supervillains - and yes, androids, aliens, and wizards. Aiding him in this is Jim Hammond, another agent of De Fontaine operating under the codename Torch with super soldier powers and a murky past. Can Hammond be trusted? And will John be able to prevent sinister forces from obtaining Valentina's mysterious asset?
This story takes place in the MCU in late 2026, following John Walker's story leading up to his appearance in Thunderbolts*.

Summary: After John Walker takes the serum, all the worst parts about him—his ruthlessness, his violence, his need to be special—are exacerbated. Including his obsession with Captain America and the aching emptiness in the place where his best friend once stood.
John just wants to do the job he was given, dammit. The way he figures, in order to do that, he needs to get what Rogers had. What Sam Wilson stole. Not just the fancy shield, no. That came later. What Steve Rogers had was Bucky Barnes. Best friend, ally, sidekick. Lover. The man at his six and in his bed.
If John can get Bucky Barnes, well. He must be Captain America, not that thief, Wilson.
(The truth is, John Walker wants to be Steve Rogers, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.)
