    Summary

    The biggest lies are usually the ones we tell ourselves, and Steve has been telling lots of lies, especially lately. That in spite of how he can’t stop chewing his fingernails bloody, the never ending nightmares chasing him out of bed, and the way merely seeing ice sends him into a panic, he’s fine.

    But when his latest mission with The Avengers goes horribly wrong, Steve can no longer keep lying, not even to himself.

    Diagnosed with PTSD and placed on medical leave, initially Steve is resentful, stubbornly refusing the idea there’s anything that can make it better. Until Sam suggests a Service Dog, and introduces him to James Buchanan Barnes, a fellow vet and trainer who swears one of his dogs can help, if only Steve can summon enough bravery to take a leap of faith and accept a four-legged companion in his life.

    What follows is a long and winding journey of fear, doubt and self-recrimination. But also hope, acceptance and redefining what it means to be a hero, as Steve finally faces the issues that have been haunting him his entire life.

    There is also a lot of fur, conversations with dogs, and a cross-country road trip, as Steve rebuilds his life and maybe, just maybe, falls in love along the way.

    Summary

    And in the end, that’s what people always miss about Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.
    They didn’t just fall in love. They clung to it, like it was breath, like it was war, like it was the only thing in the world that ever made sense.
    They mated far too young, despite all the hate in their world.
    When Bucky was drafted, Steve allowed the army to experiment on him, just to follow.
    When Bucky became a prisoner of war, Steve went behind enemy lines on a reckless, hopeless rescue mission.
    They fought side by side. They changed the course of World War II.
    And when Bucky fell—
    Steve jumped.
    Because till the end of the line meant dying together, too.

    Summary

    People are going missing. There's a sorcerer in the outskirts of the Kingdom. A group of uniformed bandits attacks a village. A stallion is following Bucky around like a particularly loyal dog.

    -

    As part of the King's Horsemen, it's on Bucky and his Commandos to protect their people. Deadly on their horses' backs and faster than the Royal Guard, there's no better team to investigate rumours of a sorcerer. Skeletal and crimson-skinned, or so the rumours say. The magic sorcerers use is different than the common Talents most have, and it twists them almost beyond recognition if not respected. A sorcerer showing up would be bad news for everybody.

    Luckily nothing has turned up so far in their investigations. At least he gets a horse out of it, right?

    Or maybe not, as it turns out.

    Summary

    "Jesus, Steve, I just had to explain to a ninety-something year old ex-killer that it was normal to *have dreams* and *wake up with unusual physical attributes* and, and listen, we have to get him a male GP, a, a man, because when I asked him why he hadn't just called her to discuss this he looked at me like I'd suggested he slap her in the face."

    Summary

    Fast and fierce, the Horse Guard protect the Kingdom and its people, and they welcome anyone into their ranks-noble, commoner, or peasant-so long as they can ride a horse like they were born to it. Guard Barnes—Bucky—has come to the Kingdom's largest horse fair to find a new horse. He's supposed to choose from one of the approved horses; instead he finds himself buying a tall, skinny, angry stallion with the ridiculous name of Steve. Bucky can't leave him behind, but he's nothing like what Bucky's looking for and everything Bucky doesn't want.

    But Bucky's more right than even he knows because Steve's not a horse at all. He's a man under a curse, victim of a powerful sorcerer's temper and magic, and he's bound to never, by action or deed, reveal what he truly is.

    It's gonna be one hell of a ride.
