    Summary

    You haven't exactly been in the best situation these last few years, with your boyfriend being an abusive asshole, your job being hell, and you only having one friend in the terrifying and claustrophobic city that is New York. One day, you literally fall into the arms of a sweet stranger who doesn't seem to be much of a talker, and for whatever reason, you can't help but feel safe around him. Good thing he happens to live next door.

    EDIT 5/28/25: This vintage little fic is picking up again post Thunderbolts* (heyyy fellow Bucky Lovers) and seeing new comments and kudos made me come back to it and want to fix up my 18-year-old creative writing. I've gotten two degrees in English since this fic was originally started, so hopefully I can edit and brush up some of this story to fit my current standards, or at least make it more readable. Editing one chapter at a time and doing it slowly, but I hope new and old readers alike can still get some joy out of it!

    Summary

    “Can you…” His voice sounds thin. He clears his throat and tries again. Lower, more demanding. “I think you owe me.”
    You blink. “I’m sorry?” One of his hands slams past your shoulder into the wall.
    “I think… you owe me.” He repeats thickly. Whatever side effect he complained about is taking a toll on his body. He’s so warm you can feel the heat radiating through his suit. You shift against the wall. You’re no fool but decide to play as one. It may be the safest option.
    “I don’t have any money,” You begin to apologize. The hand on the wall tilts toward you, something sharp catches your sleeve.
    “Come on, you’re smarter than that.” You want to roll your eyes but don’t dare to look away from the streaks on the mask. He’s just behind them, watching. Assessing. Waiting. “A pretty girl like you has better resources than cash.” The back of your neck prickles. Desperation still writhes on the surface of his words, but there’s more control now. He’s goading you. Trying to see if you’ll rise to the challenge, give the go-ahead.
    He did save your life, after all.
    . . .
    Miguel saves you in an alley. With him running so hot, how can you repay him?

    Summary

    Sea Kings, sea-sickness, sunburns, a 95% genocidal Navy and more than a million and one other assorted ways to die. It's official: Being inserted into an anime sucks ass... Buuut I guess it could be worse. I mean, look on the bright side: At least I'm sailing with the future king of the pirates.
