Summary
Bucky Barnes was cold.
He felt like he’d been cold for months now; doing nothing but experiencing one unending chill after another. He’d been cold in England, and again in Italy, and again especially in Austria – both while he was kept in an underground cell, and when he was strapped without cover to the unforgiving metal of Zola’s lab table.
But Steve… Steve Rogers was sunshine. Everything about him was warm, from his crinkly-eyed smile to his white-hot rage. Steve was Coney Island on a summer’s day; lying back on high rooftops to watch fireworks on the 4th of July; drinking stolen whiskey in his parent’s living room…
Loving Steve was a fact – simple and plain, like breathing air or bleeding red; loving Steve was soldered into his skin like a tattoo – it buzzed in his brain like its own kind of high. It was a part of who he was.- Language:

Summary
“Isn’t that weird?” Sam starts, raising an eyebrow at Bucky’s parallel self.
“Sam-“ Bucky tries to interject, looking increasingly distressed – but it’s no use.
“I mean, you third wheeling Steve and his wife out here in the middle of nowhere?” Sam finishes, and Bucky can only cover his face with his metal hand and wish the ground would swallow him whole, knowing what is coming as surely as he has ever known anything.
“Pal,” the Other Bucky replies with a smirk, holding up his flesh hand to show off a thin silver band while the real Bucky stares resolutely at the ground, “I am his wife.”
Or
Of all the parallel universes they could have ended up in, Bucky can't think of a worse one than this - one that serves as a constant reminder of everything he's ever wanted, and everything he can't ever have.

At the end of it all, the thing is: Palpatine breaks his heart.

Summary
“You’re Jordan’s wife?”
If anyone in their town would’ve gone out looking for a foreign beauty, it would’ve been Jordie. He had an adventurer’s spirit, bold and daring. If Maja squinted at the old rope swing by the lake, she could still see the silhouette of him, leaping into the water while Kasper worried from his perch on the banks.
But Inej’s face freezes in an odd expression. “Not quite,” she says haltingly. “I’m married to his younger brother – Kaz?”
---
Or, the town of Lij is endlessly fascinated with the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. Rietveld each and every time they visit.

roomy, and drenched in sunlight by Whitherward

Summary
It was a story they’d told each other often, over too much kvas. A running joke between them, what they would do if they ever decided to leave it all behind.
She’d never dreamed they actually would.
Inej, and Kaz, and what comes after.

Bookmarker's Notes
Her questions die in her throat as the house comes into view and, with it, Kaz and Genna. Jesper stops dead in his tracks, mouth agape, and Inej and Wylan stop with him instinctively. Kaz, hunched over the front gate doing something that involves a hammer, seems to sense her presence in that peculiar way of his. He glances over his shoulder half a second before she opens her mouth to call out to him.
Their eyes meet, and Inej is suddenly breathless. Every single thing she thought she would do or say leaves her mind, replaced by the warm joy of seeing his face again. It doesn't make sense - Inej has spent far longer periods away from him in the past. But that was before.
Genna is kneeling by his feet, face close to the ground and bottom in the air, examining something very closely. Kaz leans down to her, one hand braced on his good knee, speaks. Genna looks up at him. And then he points, and she looks at Inej.
The excited squeal that Genna lets out cuts something loose inside her. She drops her bag and runs.
In the next instant, Inej is on her knees in the dirt pressing kisses to Genna's fat little cheeks, her little hands, hefting the weight of her in her arms as she smacks kisses into her belly and her girl shrieks in delight. All the while she murmurs to her in jumbled Suli, words tumbling over themselves, my darling, my little precious, my very own heart.
In the background she becomes aware of a great ruckus, all flapping wings and vicious honking and the distinctive sound of Wylan yelling fuck, fucking fuck!
Twisting to look over her shoulder, Inej sees that her friend has retreated a fair distance up the track and is climbing the fence, beset by geese and still shouting obscenities. Jesper, following after and betraying no particular urgency in coming to his husband's aid, calls, “Wylan no, darling, they can fly—”
She turns back to look up at Kaz, watching the proceedings with an air of resigned indifference, and all she can think is how much she's missed him. When he glances at her, she grins up at him, gleeful. He doesn't smile back, but the way he looks at her sitting in the dust with Genna tight in her arms, like she's the most valuable thing he's ever laid eyes on, is welcome enough for now.
