Summary
When a something goes wrong and the tension between them finally spills into public view, the team's already fragile image takes another hit.
The solution? Simple. Clean. Effective: Fake a relationship.Walker refuses. Bucky doesn't even entertain the idea. Yelena thinks it's hilarious. Mel is out of patience.
And yet, somehow, they all end up exactly where they swore they wouldn’t be: pretending, denying, and wanting far more than either of them is ready to admit.
Because maybe the problem was never the act.

Summary
Bucky wasn’t exactly sure when he decided he was keeping the cat, but the more he thought about it the more he realized it was hardly a question at all. Despite the white fur littering his apartment and the stench of wet cat fur filling the air, he felt nothing but affection for the animal.

Originally planned to be a Sentryagent High school AU, and could still technically be considered as such, 'Yours, Mine, Hours' is coming-of-age story based in John F. Walkers hometown, Custer's Grove during the Summer. The plot follows John as he comes to terms with his own sexuality and learns more about himself and the life surrounding him. Though, he isn't alone in this journey. One 'Robert "Bob" Reynolds' who has just moved to the rickety old town guides John along by helping him through new experiences and giving him much, maybe too much, to think about.

Summary
John used to be good at following orders, so good that it led to him being dishonorably discharged and losing everything that he had thought made him himself. Yet, he still followed. He didn’t know what that said about his character.
Now? Now he was here with the Thunderbolts, considered to be the “next generation” of Avengers.
And Yelena, his leader, won’t stop ignoring him.
But John is more than just a good soldier, more than just his title, more than the expectations placed upon him. If only he could believe it.

Summary
John Walker wasn’t exactly known for his stellar communication abilities. His military training taught him that boys don’t cry, feelings were for sissies, and other similar sentiments. While he understood the value that emotional conversations could hold for others, he just couldn’t do it himself. It wasn’t in his nature. Emotions other than anger were a childish pastime, that he’d rather forget and move past.
This naturally clashed with the family-focused culture that had formed in Avengers Tower. It was so damn sappy all the time that Walker could almost vomit. And perhaps that reaction was something that Yelena would get all preachy about, and would encourage John to “open up” about, but fuck that. Walker was more than happy keeping those feelings to himself.
But it was only a matter of time.
OR
John Walker is completely fine. Until he isn’t.
