Medium, Genre, and Format: Prose Fanfiction, Superhero/Slice of Life, Long-Running Serial (completed)
Year Released: 2014-2018

A cool quote from the work:
“Not too busy after all, I see,” Esther says when she opens the door.
“No.”
Cat Eleanor stands up on her hind legs, balancing her front paws on his knees, and says hello in cat. Esther smiles.
“She wants you to pick her up.”
REFUSE
Higher likelihood of claw holes from picking up or not picking up.
DANGER
Eleanor makes holes in his kneecaps. He picks her up and drapes her on his shoulder, where she purrs into his neck and presses her cold, wet nose against his ear. Barnes learns that the area around his ear is extremely ticklish.
The mission imperative is a sound in the back of his mind a little like “eeeeeee.”
Blurb: Following on from the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), brainwashed assassin James Buchanan Barnes, his mission imperative, and his mission briefing try to protect Steve Rogers while dealing with assassins, criminals, trauma, memory issues, and becoming a part of a community again.
Why is it worth your time?: This is a story about small victories, supportive friends, and finding your own solutions to problems. Barnes' system configuration is repeatedly affirmed and celebrated as functional and good. It also has a lot of good humor, and the fight scenes are well-integrated into the arc of the plot.
Plural Tags: memory work, nonswitching, relationships: teamwork, voices. fusion/integration is discussed but does not occur.
Content Warnings: stalking (non-malicious), near-drowning, self-harm, past and hypothetical torture, past sexual assault (not dwelled on), hospitalization and medical talk, action movie violence, alcohol use, gambling, mild ableism, brief mention of casual racism.
Accessibility Notes: screenreadable, audio/dubbing (almost all the stories have at least one linked podfic).
Misc. Notes (if any): The author retcons a number of things over the course of the series and Barnes is an unreliable narrator due to memory issues, so the work is internally contradictory in a number of parts.
