Summary
John Walker needs an absolute peace, from pain, from control, from the man named James Barnes in front of him.
"What about you?" Barnes's voice low, "what do you think you need orders? Need to be used? Need to be degraded? " His thumb gently brushed the blood vessels beating in Walker's temple.
An almost gentle contrast made Walker stiff. Walker's breath was stuck in his throat, and all the elaborate defenses, all the arrogant disguises, fell apart under the weight of those eyes and that question. He felt a sense of exposure that almost made him vomit, but at the same time, a terrible and long-awaited sense of relief welled up from the cracks."Yes, maybe ..." He admitted hoarsely, and his voice was almost inaudible.
"No," Barnes denied softly, but his tone was extremely positive, like stating a fact that had already been discovered, which surprised Walker. He thought that his affirmation was the response Barnes wanted. "What you need is to stop thinking, someone needs to take over your hyperactive brain, and you need to let go of all the responsibilities and expectations that keep you awake at night."

Summary
约翰沃克需要一种绝对的宁静，来自于疼痛，来自于控制，来自于面前这个名为詹姆斯巴恩斯的人。
“你呢？”巴恩斯的声音压低，“你觉得你需要命令？需要被使用？需要被贬低？”他的拇指轻轻擦过沃克太阳穴跳动的血管，一个近乎温柔的对比，却让沃克浑身僵硬。
沃克的呼吸卡在喉咙里，所有精心构筑的防御，所有傲慢的伪装，在那双眼睛和那个问题的重量下土崩瓦解。他感到一种几乎使他呕吐的暴露感，但同时，一种可怕的，渴望已久的解脱感从裂缝中涌出。
“是，或许吧……”他嘶哑地承认，声音破碎得几乎听不见。
“不，”巴恩斯轻声否定，语气却异常肯定，像在陈述一个早已被发现的事实，这让沃克有些意外，他以为他的肯定是巴恩斯想要的回应。
“你需要的是停止思考，需要有人接管你过度活跃的大脑，需要放下所有那些让你夜不能寐的责任和期待。” -

Summary
John Walker is known as many things — U.S. Agent, dime-store Captain America, a joke, a murderer, an asshole, and more. However, he’s never known for who he really is — a decorated war "hero," a veteran with PTSD, and a man trying to stop being haunted by his past.
And for some reason, the only person willing to see Walker for who he actually is happens to be the one person he finds himself giving the hardest time.

Summary
John always looked out for his teammates.
It was only natural since the way he grew up.
Unfortunately, that was all it took for the media to think he slept around with all of the New Avengers'.or
just an excuse for me to write John Walker being slutshamed rather publicly

Summary
John isn't quite sure of his role in the new and fragile team he's ended up with after getting used to being assigned one all these years as a soldier and a shadow operative.
Everyone else seems to fall into some designation or other—leader, strategist, moral compass, father figure, muscle—all of them pieces falling in a puzzle that John can't seem to fill because the others fit better, and the thought slowly pushes him into a frustrated despair.
John spirals, becoming one with the sofa. He doesn't know that something else is wrong with him. Something darker and more sinister.
--
John wakes up in a cold sweat, drawing deep, labored breaths, feeling like his chest is about to cave in.
His bloodshot eyes focus, and with it, the chilling realization.
A sinister shape, pitch black, is straddling him, a figure so utterly devoid of light that it's silhouetted by the already dark background that is his room.
It only takes a second for him to catch on. He's seen this figure before, hovering above New York the day Bob transformed into Sentry.
"You show such willfulness, John Walker, clinging to your own darkness for so long."

Summary
What would you do if you woke up to find an unfamiliar hand holding yours?
How would you react if the only familiar face in a hospital room told you that you might not remember anything—but that it’s okay?
What would you do if the stranger holding your hand—someone entirely unknown to you—also felt absurdly familiar?
And more than that… how do you return to a life you remember, but that no longer belongs to you?How do you forget the feeling that the hand holding yours is so important to you—that even without remembering, you can still sense the confusion of emotions and the undeniable feeling of belonging?

Summary
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.

Summary
“You look ridiculous,” Ava said, stepping out of the stairwell soundlessly.
John flinched. He’d never get used to Ava’s Ghost thing—appearing without sound, like a blade drawn in reverse.
“Can’t believe you picked the roof for a smoke break,” she smirked. “Cliché much?”
“I don’t smoke.”
“Then it’s worse. Brooding with no props.” She drifted closer, the clink of a bracelet faint against her wrist. “Seriously, Walker. You ever get tired of looking down?”
John shrugged.
“View’s better than in there.” -

Summary
After a huge opportunity for the band, Bob truly screws up, letting himself be carried away by his newly intensified addiction—already strong enough not only to ruin his own life but also to mess up the lives of those around him, especially John, who would have followed him passionately if it weren’t for Bob’s overwhelming urge to self-destruct.
Fifteen years later, they needed to learn how to deal with past mistakes, life choices, and changes—and more than that, to realize that sometimes a new chance comes with the same face as the previous one.
With invaluable losses, a shake-up in their lives, and loves never forgotten, they need help; otherwise, memories and fears could destroy each one of them. -
