    Summary

    While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.

    Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.

    Summary

    “You’re trying to give me advice?” he didn’t mean to sound cocky, but he hardly needed advice with anything concerning romance.

    “Yes. Who do you think you’re talking to? I literally invented Vulcan-Human relations. I practically wrote the book.” She crossed her arms and smiled. “Actually, I did write a book, if you wanna borrow it.”

    “…Yeah, actually, I do.”
    ----------

    Amanda gives Jim a guidebook on how to romance a Vulcan. Unknown to either of them, Sarek has given a similar guide to Spock --on how to romance humans.

    Summary

    Silence.

    Jim pulls back the comm to look at the little screen. They’re still connected.

    “Spock?” He asks. Nothing. Jim is about to snap the comm closed in frustration, when he hears a ragged inhale.

    “You’re on a roof?” Spock’s voice is deadly soft, flat and hard and…something else that Jim’s brain won’t process. Jim rolls his eyes. He grabs another drink and wrestles it open, taking three large swigs before he bothers responding.

    ~~~

    After the events of ST:ID, Jim calls Spock from a rooftop. Spock misunderstands.

    Summary

    "Bidding will start at $5,000, ladies and gentlemen. $5,000 for an evening spent in the charming company of one of the most eligible bachelors in all of New York. The winning bidder will be chauffeured to Mr. Barnes' private yacht, where you'll both share a meal exquisitely prepared by his own personal chef, and a sunset cruise around the harbor. Who says romance is dead." The MC smiled, looking like nothing so much as a very hungry shark.

    "$50,000!" Steve called, shocking everyone in the room – and himself – into silence.

    The MC blinked. His perfect, plastic smile melted right off his face. "Uh...could you...I'm sorry, what was that?"
