Summary
How Sam Wilson met the Avengers and the support staff, brought in an assassin, kept several women from murdering Tony Stark, and found a family. But he is not their shrink. No. He isn't. Shut up, Tony. Or, as Sam puts it most days, how in hell did he get roped into this?
The one where Sam offers to carry Natasha’s purse.

Bookmarker's Notes
First of the series -- great fill-ins and witty banter from Sam's POV.
Ch. 7 "Sam decided he would concentrate on the caring behind the gestures, and not the insult implying he couldn't take care of himself. He also decided not to mention the assault rifle he kept under his bed."“Why is it you're so easy with Pepper and Natasha and Hill, badasses one and all, but you start stuttering around mortal women?”
Steve seemed to stop and really think about it. “Maybe because they remind me of my mother.”
Boy, there was a discussion for another day.Ch. 17:
“I think that’s Steve’s super power.” Maria told him dryly. “Getting people to do stuff they don’t want to.”
Natasha made a sound of pure annoyance.
Sam took on three helicarriers with a dusty old set of wings and two machine guns, for fuck’s sake. Before that was a kill squad including the Winter Goddamn Soldier with a utility knife. And he was moving to New York. And helping bring in an assassin who tried to kill him. More than once. Ugh.Ch. 19 The source of my head-canon that Bruce is a stoner.

Bookmarker's Notes
Bucky recovery with surprisingly well-integrated flashbacks. Good Tony characterization, too. Here is his more logical reaction to his parents' death, proving again that Civil Wars was just an excuse to get the Avengers action figures to fight each other, like Superman vs. Batman.
"No. Shut up. Listen." Tony grabs his shoulder. "My dad used to tell me stories about you, remember? Too many. I was beyond sick of them. Barnes was in a lot of those stories. Running into battle together, risking your lives to save the other, the whole spiel." He points at the door. "And five days ago, the man in there beat you so badly you'd be dead ten times over if you weren't filled with patriotic steroids." Steve doesn't know what to say, so he just keeps staring, mouth open. "They told him to kill you and he very nearly did. That tells me literally everything I need to know about how much of a choice he had, how much - how in control of himself he was, when they ordered him to kill my family."
And reminds us that Steve got a raw deal in Civil War, too -- Zola didn't tell him who killed the Starks, so he wasn't keeping a secret from Tony.

Good outside-character POV and fill-in of a gap that often slides by -- between First Avenger and Avengers 1. Confusing ending, but I gather from comments that the epilogue skips to post-Endgame.

Bucky finds himself, though he didn't want to.
Black Widow steps out to take the Captain's duffel bag.
"You must be tired after your long and exhausting search," she says to the Captain. "We should've sent you after bin Laden. He'd've showed up in your kitchen inside of a week."Revealing answer to routine instructions:
Banner looks up from the metal arm to meet Barnes's eyes. "Tell me if it hurts."
Barnes frowns. "Why?"
Banner's fingers still against the injured arm. "Because," he says, very calmly, "then I'll stop doing that and start doing something that doesn't."
Barnes doesn't have a response for that, so he says nothing.
