Multiple short stories (approx 132k words in total) following the original work 4 Minute Window. Worth it for the additional art & multimedia bits alone. Plus, in the midst of the serious stuff, are moments like this:

Natasha nodded. "You guys haven't had any problems?" she asked. "Nobody's noticed he used to be Captain America?"
"Mainly we've found that if he wears a tight enough shirt, nobody looks at his face," Barnes replied. "He could have three eyes, like a Picasso."

- word count clocking in at 197k as of 1st jan 2023
- I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS😭😭😭
- the yearning, tight and intense plot, domestic fluff, FABULOUS writing and characterizations, everything i wanted and more
- had no idea i was in for a long haul when i started the first 4mw fic, don’t you just love it when you read a fic randomly and it turns out to be one of the greatest things you’ve ever set your eyes upon, like wth…
- don’t even get me started on the art😭
- this series is what it’s meant by the devil works hard but fanfic writers work harder indeed✊the dedication and commitment put into this over the years is mind-boggling🧎🏻‍♀️
- slightly ooc natasha at the beginning, and no explanation on how the soldier became bucky again, but these could be excused easily
