Fics like The Thing About John Walker

After the Thunderbolts, John Walker is trying—therapy, fatherhood, co-parenting, and holding together the life he almost lost. He’s oblivious to the fact that half his new team has adopted him as family… and that Bucky Barnes is very much in love with him. Between Alexei sneaking casseroles, Yelena heckling like a little sister, Ava’s rare but pointed check-ins, Bob drifting in like a storm front and quieting the room just to stand in John’s orbit (because John’s steady hands and warm hugs anchor the Void better than any drug), and Sam trying to play wingman, John slowly learns he’s allowed to want things for himself. Bucky just hopes he notices before the whole world figures it out first. It turns out love isn’t a mission, and family isn’t a unit—it’s a branch that grows, if you let it.
