    Summary

    A Narrative of Certain Events following the Ending of the World (Except Not Quite), as vaguely hinted at in The Slapdash and Not Very Helpful Prophetic Tidbit of Agnes Nutter, Witch (And Matchmaker.)

     

    "Their lives are in horrible, terrible danger that only we can save them from!" Anathema held up the Prophetic Tidbit. "It says so. Right here."
    Madame Tracy peered at the page.
    Raised a meaningful eyebrow.
    "Dearie, as a woman of, well, considerable experience, I really don't think that's what 'the lyttle Deathe' means in this context..."

    "Huh." Anathema squinted. Flipped the page. Read another bit. "....huh."

     

    (Or, alternatively: Eight - give or take - matchmakers trying really, really hard, honest; two clueless ethereal/occult beings mutually pining their endless days away; and one witch, who can't leave well enough alone when it comes to matters of the heart, no matter how many centuries ago she died.)

    Summary

    Nobody tells Steve it's okay to cry.

    Nobody touches him.

    Nobody remembers Steve Rogers is a person under the mantle. It's okay. He hasn't felt like a person since he watched Bucky fall.

    Summary

    Clint's just being a good landlord, repairing some completely accidental, not even his fault a little bit, he didn't TELL those robots to... Uh. Repairing some damage to Aimee's apartment, when he's banned from IKEA. Look, it could happen to anyone!

    Lots of things happen to Clint that could happen to anyone. They just... don't.

    So he does what anyone would do, if they were an elite secret agent in desperate need of stylish yet inexpensive furnishings: he breaks in to IKEA. He finds the shelving he needs. He also finds the Winter Soldier.

    Record scratch whaaaaaat

    Things... escalate quickly.

    Clint can deal with danger. He can survive the gravad lax. He can escape the ball pit. He can dodge Natasha's disturbing Russian metaphors. But falling for the Winter Soldier?

    Yeahhhh Clint's in over his head.

    TL;DR: Clint finds Bucky living in an IKEA. For reasons. Idiots-to-lovers hijinks ensue.

    Alternately: Clint came here to kick ass and assemble IKEA furniture, and he's allll out of Allen wrenches. Seriously, could someone assemble this furniture for him? Will pay in blow-jobs. Assassin experience an asset. Heh, asset. What, too soon?

    Summary

    After the Chitauri invasion, Steve parts ways with SHIELD, unsure if he can trust an agency that tried to deceive him and built weapons from the Tesseract.

    He finds himself alone in an unfamiliar future, penniless, not even legally alive. Fortunately, he knows how to survive. Steve Rogers is used to getting by on his own.

    The thing is, he doesn't have to.
