    Summary

    "It worked because of the way Bucky was, and when it came to that it didn't matter if it was just muscle memory, if he was a shell with the insides rotten--he was gifted with a way of keeping things going when they should have cracked."

    Steve usually follows Bucky's lead when the deep conditioning triggers get set off. This time that isn't possible, because Bucky isn't himself anymore, and Steve doesn't know what to do.

    Summary

    For this prompt by Dayzor from the Imagine Tony and Bucky comm on Tumblr:

    "Oh yay! Super excited!! I've been sitting on a couple prompts haha Imagine a Sentinel/Guide AU- Tony is a guide, something kept from the public as Howard always saw it as weak. Bucky is a sentinel, and HYDRA made a point to never send the Winter Soldier after any guides to avoid natural instincts breaking through their programming. They send him after Tony, not knowing better."

    The Winter Soldier had never had a Guide.

    They told him that he must not approach or engage a Guide. They didn't explain why, but he knew better than to ask. He was the Winter Soldier, Sentinel and weapon. The only things he needed to know were what they told him.

    And two days ago, they'd told him to kill Tony Stark.

    Summary

    Every winter, Lambert, Eskel and Geralt have a tradition of getting drunk and sharing stories of the past year. A few times, Geralt's stories have included mentions of an annoying, human bard who insists on following him around. The stories did nothing to prepare Lambert for seeing Geralt and Jaskier together.

    5 times Geralt talked about Jaskier to his brothers and 1 time they met him.

    Summary

    The thing about Bucky these days is that, while he might be a semi-mythical assassin, he's also vulnerable—the kind of vulnerable that makes total strangers want to drape a blanket over his shoulders and take him to safety. The problem is, of course, that Bucky is already safe.

    The first time it happens, Bucky has no idea how to react. He and Steve are walking down the street, when a slight woman takes in Bucky’s terrified eyes, the dark circles so bad they almost look like bruises, and Steve’s protective hand resting on his lower back, guiding him down the busy sidewalk (but it must look possessive, to someone looking for a sign), and comes to the wrong conclusion.

    Summary

    The plan is this:

    He will note all the things that annoy Geralt, and he will stop doing them, and then Geralt will want him around.

    It will work. It has to work, because Jaskier cannot be left behind.
