Hah! I knew the byline would be Peter Parker!
Subtle immersion in the team's delicate interactions; sometimes more is revealed in the spaces and silences than in the words. Artfully done. -

Summary
Hurt, hungry, and on the run, the Winter Soldier doesn’t have a lot of safe options to go to for help. Figuring that any friend of Captain Steve Rogers is unlikely to be HYDRA, Bucky takes a chance and reaches out to the first Avenger he can find.
It works out better than anyone could have expected. Eventually.

Bookmarker's Notes
Interesting characterization of Bruce as super-tentative and excruciatingly inoffensive, presumably so he can avoid turning social interactions into fights.
See "Cut the Wire" for a revised version with interleaved Steve & Tony scenes.

Summary
"If Sherlock's brain is a hard drive, then these attacks are an electro-magnetic pulse." Sherlock Holmes does not do anything by half, not even a migraine. It falls to John to witness one of the greatest minds he has ever known tear itself apart, and he must do his best to help Sherlock pick up the pieces.

One of my favorites: migraine with synesthesia. Fascinating descriptions of Sherlock's hallucinations and John's nightmares.
Reread over and over. One of my all-time favorites.

Summary
Just back from the war, 26-year-old John Watson is looking for a job. Luckily, his old buddy Mike Stamford has one in mind:
“Mike, you did not tell me this was a porno.”
“What? It’s not!”
“No? Then why the hell am I being asked to eventually take my kit off and mount some kid who barely looks like he’s out of secondary!”
He expects Mike to be angry or indignant on his behalf, but what he does not expect is for the man to burst out laughing on the other end of the phone.
“Mike!”
“Sorry, sorry. Are you serious? Frankie told me it was an art house/independent type but I thought he meant Little Miss Sunshine, not Eyes Wide Shut!”
“Oh my God, Mike, I’m going to kill you.”
Or, what happens when the author watches Love Actually with Johnlock in mind.

Always smile-inducing. Totally OOC denouement, like something out of a rom-com -- oh, wait.
