Fics like the gentle light that strays and vanishes (and returns)

Even now there was still some small part of him that always scanned a crowd for him—some small part of him that always fluttered with hope when he saw someone who might be the right height, or whose hair might be the right color. Some small part of him that hoped they’d see each other again. Some small part of him that still wanted their stolen time back. --- Captain America's identity was supposed to be a secret, until suddenly it wasn't. Now too famous for special ops in Afghanistan, Steve Rogers is stuck riding a desk at SHIELD's public affairs office and counting down the days till he can turn in his dog tags and leave the sleaze of Washington D.C. behind once and for all. His childhood best friend, Bucky Barnes, is a wounded vet trying to adjust to civilian life after a military career he can't talk about. Even though it's been almost 20 years since they've seen each other, it feels like nothing's changed. Except that everything has.
