E | 10.4k | no archive warnings | tags: canon-divergence - tws; adventures in renovating the apartment you also destroyed; identity issues; top Bucky/bottom Steve; Steve feels; starting over

“If you’re gonna stand there admiring your handiwork,” Steve says to the construction paper he’s laying over the hardwood floor, “the least you could do is pitch in.” Bucky doesn’t move from the shadows of the window frame. But Steve can see in the dark, too. Can see his suppressed smile tick, then reset.  There’s a soft whir as Bucky points at the kitchen island, where the granite countertop is cracked down the middle. Then a Steve-sized hole in the living room drywall. “That was all you,” he says, before picking up a drop cloth off the floor and covering Steve’s couch.

Written for @catws-anniversary theme: To The End of The Line. Thank you Tej and Maya for organizing such an epic event! Consider this my humble contribution to the time-honored tradition of pretending canon ends in Brooklyn, where the boys experience a lot of big feelings and also kiss and nothing bad ever happens again, the end.

(Also fills my free space for @stuckybingo)

[catws-anniversary]

THANK YOU!!

Just like the 10 years since the release of CA:TWS, the 10 days for this event have flown by. We’d just like to take a moment to thank everyone who’s created something for this event, everyone who tagged us in older CA:TWS content, and everyone who’s shared & reblogged. We’re so happy that everyone embraced this event and celebrated this incredible movie with us like it deserves.

We received over 270 creations for this event, which is so much more than we’d imagined!! Your love for Captain America: The Winter Soldier has been incredible to see, and we are just in awe of all the works created, from poetry to fics, from manips to fanvids. You can find the final masterlist with all creations here.

A huge thank you to all the creators that made this event a success!! 💙💙💙

- Tej & Maya

Note: We know that some of you might have wanted to create for this event, but didn’t manage to for whatever reason, so we’ve decided to keep the AO3 collection open until April 4th, 2025. This will allow those of you who want to add creations to the collection to do so on your own time.

I felt everything (and nothing that I had before)

Rating: Explicit Wordcount: 1.9k Major tags: Buck/Eddie, established relationship, domestic fluff, porn with feelings, morning sex, Buck is a human koala, and also obsessed with Eddie's BO (and who could blame him)

I know I'm repeating myself, but: writing buddie fic really wasn't on my 2024 bingo card, yet here we are. They're soft and sweet and love each other so much, and I am completely obsessed with them. 💕 A thank-you smooch to Tej for supporting and/or enabling me 💋

Read on AO3

Buck huffs a soft laugh. “Good morning.” Eddie yawns, pushing his face deeper into his pillow. “You should’ve woken me up.” “Went for a run,” Buck mutters, brushing a featherlight kiss to the back of Eddie’s shoulder. “Wanted to let you sleep.”  “In that case you could’ve dried yourself off before getting back in here.”  “What if I was in a hurry?” Buck noses into the side of Eddie’s armpit. “You smell really fucking good.”

[tejvirani]

Tej Virani Contemporary Artist Style: Inspired by Neo-expressionism, street art, and abstract mixed media Biggest influences: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Diego Tirigall

As a teenager, Tej got his start as part of a graffiti crew on the streets of Seattle.

Tej attended uni in London with certain expectations set by his grandfather. However, academics were a struggle thanks to dyslexia and general disinterest. He dropped out of uni after a semester, much to his grandfather's dismay. Tej remained in London, living with relatives and developing his own style with an art collective.

His work transitioned from street art to mixed media. Raw and unpolished, he combined elements of drawing, painting, collage, and built on layers of traditional and used/repurposed materials.

Examples are pieces of recovered wood, old appliances, collaged fabrics, discarded doors and other cast off industrial items found on the street used as canvas.

Other Materials: ink, oils, acrylics, house paint, spray paint, charcoal, gesso, crayons, markers, broken glass, sand, smoke.

He works quick and intentional, a remnant from his tagging days.

Some works are abstracts, and some feature figures (faceless or with exaggerated features), symbols, and text. Often, the narratives represent intense emotional states, like grief and loss.

Tej’s art began to gain traction in London with smaller galleries. Later, on his move with Zaid to New York, he continued to slowly and steadily earn more recognition.

In 2023, he was part of an exhibition featuring up and coming artists at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One critic said, “Tej Virani’s pieces, while primitive and evolving, contain a complex visual language, rhythm, and sense of urgency that sets him apart from other young artists.” 

His last series was left unfinished/untitled and never displayed, using a technique called fumage (smoke) with oil.

Tej has not painted since he split from Zaid and they lost Inika.

☆ Joke on me | Part two

Javy Machado x reader (O'conner)

Summary : Javy messed up and he miss you.

Warnings : Fight, but happy ending, hangman is an ass (Fast and furious crossover)

tag list : @luckyladycreator2 @biqherosix @the-untamed-soul @the-mouse27 @ch4ot1ccoff1n @creativitybeware + three other really nice blogger that I failed to tag :(

Like shit. That's how you felt. And that feeling hadn't left you for two weeks, two fucking weeks since you found out that the man you thought you were in love with was screwed with you, two weeks since you found out he slept with your supposedly friend, while you were together, and two weeks that you lived at your brother's house, with his friends who were ready to beat the crap out of all the pilots present that evening.

"You don't have to go back to work tonight y/n" Mia told you. "I'm sure Penny won't mind if-"

"Listen Mia, I love you and I love my brother but I'm going to go crazy if I sit here doing nothing all day."

The brunette came towards you and took your shoulders "I understand, but I don't want you to suffer again if he ever comes tonight"

You closed your eyes and sighed "I know, I know, but I can't hide all my life, there will come a day when I have to face him"

She nodded and kissed your forehead "You know your brother and the others will want to come to the bar tonight"

You roll your eyes "Oh please no! I know how it's gonna be if they ever run into them" You turned around and continued to put your clothes in your bag “Brian and Dom will want to blast Javy, Letty will go after Phoenix, and Romane will hit the first pilot who will pass in front of him, oh and without forgetting Sam who will want to take care of Hangman”

Mia bit her lip to keep from laughing "You forgot Tej, Ramsey, Han and Gisele"

"Even worse" You exclaimed

"Does that mean we're the worst of them all?" Exclaimed a voice, you turned and saw the two sisters, Gisele and Samantha.

"Don't take it personally, but I don't need you messing around where I work"

Gisele smiled before coming up behind you and hugging you, "Don't worry, Han and I have something planned, and I'm pretty sure Tej and Ramsey had something to do tonight too."

You sighed in relief and thanked the brunette

"I have nothing planned, however" It was Sam, the curly black-haired one sat on your bed and played with the pages of one of your books.

You pointed a finger at her "Don't think about it" She raised her arms to surrender "I'm just saying a little beer wouldn't be refused" You tossed your head back while growling "Alright! But only you! But no violence"

She put her hand on her chest and made an offended pout "How dare you think such a thing?"

With a smirk you rolled your eyes. Sam and you are the same age, you have become very close over the years and you knew her better than anyone, when she sees Jake she couldn't help but throw her left hook at him, and the idea of ​​seeing Hangman get his ass kicked by Sam would be satisfying.

"Now let me finish my bags"

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

The evening came after having repeated twenty times to Penny that everything will be fine, you found yourself back at work. You missed it, the regulars, the music and above all, you could think of something else, even if every time you passed the table, the birthday one, everything came to the surface.

"Excuse me miss, I think I negotiated a beer this morning" You turned your head towards the brunette who had just arrived at the bar, you looked Sam up and down and whistled when you saw her outfit. She wore a red sundress that came to mid-thigh, over it she had a black leather jacket, certainly one that she had stolen from Dom or Romane.

"Nice legs baby girl, when do they open ?"

She rolled her eyes "Shut up and pour me a beer"

As you uncapped a bottle of Corona, you heard engine noises outside, noises you knew all too well. You closed your eyes and groaned "Please Sam, tell me it's not their cars?" The curly hair opened her mouth to answer but she was interrupted by the door bell. You were both looking towards the front of the bar and, as you expected, your brother was there, with Dom, Letty and Romane.

Romane spread his arms and came towards you "Hey hey hey, if it's not my favorite girls" He moved forward to hug Sam close to him. She brought the beer you had just given her to her mouth and shook her head slightly "If you care about your teeth, don't" You burst out laughing when Roman lowered his arms and sighed "Okay, no need to be rude girl" Sam with a smirk pinched his cheek "I still love you, big baby"

The rest of the group came up to you and as Letty hugged you and Dom rubbed your head like you were a dog, your brother was scanning the room for a certain pilot.

"He's not here, he hasn't come and I don't think he will-"

As if he had heard you, Javy entered at the same time, accompanied by Rooster, then came Phoenix and Bob and finally Hangman with a blonde under his arm, whom you did not know.

Javy freezes when he sees you. He looked miserable, he had wrinkles, his beard was starting to grow, like he hadn't showered or shaved in two weeks. The group that was with him also froze, all head-sweeping between Javy and you. Except Jake who kept walking and whispering things to the blonde. Your group of friends were staring at them, ready to jump on one of two dice the first wrong step.

Jake, who had just settled at a table with his conquest frowned and looked at his group, then he looked in the direction where their eyes were resting. He looked at you, but his eyes turned to Sam, and a smirk appeared on his face. Without taking his eyes off her, rather without stopping to fuck her with his eyes, he says loudly "Come on guys, we'll be better seated"

Passing in front of you, Bob and Rooster smiled at you shyly, a smile that you returned to them, you were no longer angry with them, even if they knew about it, it was not for them to talk about it. Phoenix came forward and walked past you with her head down, that's when Letty sniffled several times.

"I smell, skanks"

Natasha heard it, but preferred not to say anything.

You looked at Letty and begged her not to start a fight here. That's when Javy came forward, but rather than going towards his colleagues, he came towards you.

"Y/n can we talk please"

You were about to speak but Brian beat you "No"

Javy knew your brother, actually he knew your group of friends, including the ones here, and he knew not to test them.

"Brian I know that–"

Your brother laughed wickedly "You know what? That you screwed up, that you broke her heart ?"

"I know I'm a shit, it's true, I bet, but I really love your sister"

"Spare me your speech and go find your friends" Brian didn't speak loudly, but he made it clear, the discussion was over, and Javy whispered "Okay"

You watched him walk away and you didn't know why but you wanted him to come back and fight for you.

The evening went on without incident, surprisingly your friends were calm, but when the last customer left, leaving the group of pilots and your group of friends as the only people in the bar, you knew things were going to get out of hand. And your suspicions turned out to be true when Hangman, who had been staring at Sam all evening, left his blonde to approach the bar. He leaned on the counter and looked at the brunette, his usual smirk on his face.

"Hi, I'm Jake" Your friend looked at you when she heard his name "And you are ? "

She turned to smile at him, a smile that all of Sam's friends knew well, which made you think "and shit, here we go" and that made Letty rub her hands laughing.

"I am, not interested in arrogant assholes"

Jake chuckled lightly "A woman with character, I love that"

She nodded "And I like men who have them in their pants, which is obviously not your case"

Your friends were laughing in unison and you're pretty sure you heard Bob and Rooster laughing too.

"Oh and I also like guys with brains" She patted Jake's chest and continued "Which, again, is obviously not your case"

Hangman was silent for a moment, surprised that a woman sent him packing like that. Then he clears his throat

"And what makes you think that?"

Sam with a smirk, tell him "A guy who drives big machines clearly has something to make up for. And you date a different woman every night, which proves that everyone who's been in your bed doesn't want to follow up, then a guy with brains would not have come to flirt with me knowing that my best friend is the girl at whom he threw a bomb in the face two weeks ago right here"

There was a silence, Jake took a deep breath. Phoenix got up and approached the bar

"Listen we don't want to–"

Letty cut her off "Here, the tramp will talk"

Phoenix turned to her "Listen, I'll be you, I'll shut up, because–"

"Because what doll ? Because you're military? Sweetie we have an ex FBI agent" She pointed at Brian, then Sam "And one of the best snipers, ex special forces agent. You really think a little low-level pilot is going to scare me"

Jake burst out laughing "And you let me guess, you're a criminal, in any case you have the face of a criminal. And as for you" He turned to Sam "I don't regret throwing shit at Y/ n, it's not my fault she's too dumb to–"

It all happened very quickly, Sam stood up, took the back of Jake's head and smashed it against the counter. Phoenix moved forward to grab the brunette but Letty grabbed her by the hair, pinned her against the wall and kicked her. Bob and Rooster got up and ran to the bar to help their co-workers, but Dom and Roman wouldn't let them, and the blows rained down.

You yelled at them to stop but they wouldn't listen. You then bent down, grabbed the gun that Penny was hiding in case of extreme emergency and fired in the air, everyone froze.

"Now that's enough"

Jake chuckled "They started it"

"SHUT UP"

Surprise, you turned to the one who had shouted, as well as the others. It was Javy "Stop Jake, I'm sick of your bullshit. It's your fault we're here. You're so miserable in your life that you're destroying other people's lives"

Sam brushed the blood from his lip with the back of his hand "Ouch, he hit where it hurts huh?"

Jake turned to her, glaring

"SAM STOP NOW. I WANT EVERYONE OUT NOW" This time it was you who shouted. Everyone headed for the door exchanging glares. "Except you Javy, we need to talk" The boy stopped and nodded.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Once everyone was outside, Javy approached you "Listen, I–" You cut him off by crushing your lips against his. Once the kiss is over you put your finger on his mouth. "You are going to listen to me now, you really hurt me, the last two weeks have been hell for me. But I miss you terribly and I really want to give you a second chance, but you are going to have to prove that you you are worthy"

Javy nodded so quickly you thought his head was going to pop off. "I beg your pardon, if you knew how much I blame myself, these last few weeks have been hell for me too, I couldn't sleep, the bed was so cold without you. Days spent without you made me realized how much I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you Y/n".

He kissed you again, then pushed himself to catch his breath "I'll do anything to make it work".

You smile passing your thumb on his lips "You're rather interested"

A knock on the door was heard

"COME IN" you shouted

It was Jake, he was in a terrible state, the blood that had flowed from his nose had dried, he had a black eye and a split lip.

"What do you want ?" Coyote asks him

"I come to apologize." He sighed "You were right earlier. I was an asshole because I was jealous of what you had. But Y/n you didn't deserve that, i’m sorry"

You nodded softly "I accept your apology, you've had enough for tonight" You laugh thinking about the beating Sam gave him.

He sneered "It's true, your friend is...fierce"

You nodded while laughing "I know"

He leaned towards you and asked "Is she single ?"

steve x bucky | teen | 860 words tags: post-EG, time travel, not a fix-it but a break it further

Bucky finds the old man behind the creek. Sam is back at the cabin, talking to the remaining Avengers — the Shield already tucked away safe — and Bucky doesn’t need any of that. He needs answers first. 

He takes a seat on the bench, hands buried in his black jacket and stares out across the water. The sun already set but there’s still light in the air before the night really sets in. Bucky is headed to the airport in the morning; after that, he doesn’t know yet. 

“Hey, punk,” Bucky begins. 

“Bucky.” The old man’s voice is raspy and slow, but with an aching familiarity. Bucky tuts. 

“So… where is he?”

The old man sighs softly, a small smile playing on his lips. Wistful. Fulfilled.

“194—”

“No,” Bucky cuts him off. “Where is he really?”

The old man who has Steve’s face glances at him, and Bucky’s right hand tightens around the knife hidden in his jacket pocket. The left already a fist inside the other. 

Bucky has seen a lot of weird things in his extended lifetime. Seeing an older version of his best friend morph into a green alien barely fazes him. 

He’s heard bits and pieces as they recovered from the battle and put Natasha and Tony to rest, and as he was caught up on missing another five years. He’s heard about Skrulls from Fury, not directly but he was around when Steve found out. Last night he and Steve went for a walk around the cabin while everybody else slept, and Steve laid out his plan to go back and replace the stones and pass the shield onto Sam.

And return to Bucky.

They didn’t know how long it would take Steve to do it, but they both knew he’d come back a little older.

Not decades.

Not having lived an entire life without him.

This is not Steve.

“He broke the rules.” The voice that comes from the Skrull isn’t the poor impression of an older Steve, but he sounds experienced. “He was told not to change the timeline.”

“What did he do?” But Bucky already knows. He had already told Steve not to.

“He went back to save you. The Alps. He got to you before Hydra did, but just before they did. The TVA tried to come for him too. It was him against the TVA and Hydra and then…” The Skrull blows out a breath. 

“Is he alive?”

“He used his last Pym particle to send you somewhere. Nobody knows where in time the ‘45 version of you is. Wherever it was, he hid you good.”

“So, he’s in space jail?”

The Skull shakes his head.

“The timeline can’t change. Too many things need to happen for this to happen, for Thanos to be defeated. The timeline needs a Winter Soldier and you weren’t there.”

Panic floods Bucky’s gut. The hold on his knife tightens. 

“Hydra took him and turned him into the Winter Soldier. It took longer, but they still could carry out the major events they needed in order for this timeline to happen.”

“And you?”

“Me? I was sent to live out a life Steve Rogers could have lived. Nobody but Hydra knew he was the Winter Soldier, and no-one would believe it if they saw Captain America out in public for decades, enjoying the glory he should have had if he had survived the war. Nobody would be looking for him under the ice if they saw him on TV shaking hands with the President, would they?”

“So you’ve been around for seventy years pretending to be Steve?”

“No, I lived it better than he ever could. I made him a legacy,” Skrull Steve grins proudly, and Bucky hates him. “I gave him a wife and kids, medals, glory. Passed on the Shield once or twice, and now Sam has it as it should be. He had a good life.”

“You had a good life. Where is he now?”

The Skrull shrugs. “Went down with Project Insight.”

No, no. That can’t be right. There’s no way that Steve — his Steve — who he just saw a half hour ago vanish on that platform, is gone. They’ve always rescued each other. Bucky eyes the platform in the distance. If he could—

“He’s gone, Sergeant. He saved you, for whatever that’s worth. You might already be dead by now too.” In his pocket, the knife taunts Bucky. He hates how this imposter talks about a Steve that wasn’t the one that Bucky knew. Wasn’t the one the world deserved. 

A shot rings out, startling Bucky and killing the Skrull. Thankfully not with Steve’s face but still. Bucky’s eyes dart around the area until he hears soft shuffling a short distance away. Bucky takes the knife from his pocket and holds it ready. 

Then he watches as an older man emerges from a hidden spot, a pistol in his only hand and a haggard face that has lived decades.

His face.

Older. Experienced. Haunted.

This is him from the Alps. The one Steve risked everything to save.

“We don’t have much time, Sergeant. Come with me. I know how we can save our Steve.”

ily sweet Bri! ✨I absolutely hate time travel because it is confusing but thanks to @cable-knit-sweater and @teenytabris for getting my thoughts in order 🥰️

8 Shows To Know Me

Thank you @sparkagrace for the tag! I had to spend some time thinking about this one. (I'm honestly terrible at finishing TV shows even if I like them.). But here in no particular order:

Veronica Mars

Little tween me loved this show! When the first season was airing here I used to biked over to my grandparents house on Tuesday evenings because we didn't have that TV channel at home. Maybe the first time I can recall really being a Fan of something, as in like going on The Internet and looking for more content and saving wallpapers and stuff.

(and then they made a new season and ruined everything...)

NCIS

This was a staple in my house when I was like 12-15. Me and my dad and my brother used to watch this (along with a bunch of other shows in similar genres: Criminal Minds, CSI, the Mentalist, etc.)

Good Omens

Love it, ship it, can't wait for season 2!

Normal People

Sorry Tej for copying your answer but: oh god yes! I finished it and immediately wanted to start from ep1 again. I actually finally read the book recently and I kept hearing Connell's lines in Paul Mescal's voice. The show and book complement each other so well.

Skam

The OG Norwegian one of course. I feel like the gif explains it all, but the other seasons are also very good.

Young Royals

Which is basically Skam meets Red, White and Royal Blue and it's amazing of course. Also as a Swedish-speaking person it's kind of hilarious to observe the English fandom for this show and sees people analyze scenes and lines.

Foyle's War (and Midsomer Murders and Agatha Christie's Marple)

Another nostalgia trip. Okay I realize it's sort of cheating to lump these together but you get the picture: brutal murders in cozy British settings. This was a summer holiday tradition, there was always a season of one of these on in the evenings.

But if I had to pick one it would be Foyle's War because I think the storyline outside the whodunnit is most compelling in this one. (Also if anyone knows where you can stream this nowadays, let me know!)

Sherlock

Yeah what can I say I enjoyed it. I was not on tumblr during Those Times but it's the one of the holy trinity that I've actually watched all of.

Okay, that's it, you're welcome to judge my tastes and personality now.

hey! i’ve been getting into the fast and the furious franchise (i love it!) and i was wondering if i could get some fun facts abt your ocs? thank you! (and no need to worry about spoilers!)

oh i have been waiting to talk about these four!! i have a lot to say but i’ll keep to just some shorter facts for now to not make this super longer.

starting with leah, since she’s the oldest and most developed:

leah prefers motorbikes to cars, but when it does come to cars, she’s favourable towards chevys and ford mustangs.

her car colour theme is light blue and sometimes darker purple. same goes for her bikes. she hates red cars; orange is fine though because it's han's colour.

she speaks three languages: english, spanish, and japanese. she learnt spanish in school and then kept on with it after graduating; she learnt japanese since it was always part of her and han’s plan.

leah has a lot of small tattoos and wears a lot of rings. she probably has the most hairstyle changes of every character in f&f across the series.

she likes knives more than guns and carries at least three on her at all times. one of which was used to stab shaw in f8 before she's dragged off by hobbs. she and shaw still don’t get along even after han comes back.

she, rome, and tej are an iconic trio; those boys are her bros. she and dom kind of butt heads often, especially after han’s ‘death’ and especially-especially at the end of f8 when shaw’s at the fam dinner.

han helps ground her, so when he’s gone she’s kind of left hanging with this anger and pain she can’t really express properly. you’d think dom could relate to her in this instance, given his past with letty and fenix; instead it kind of pushes them apart because shaw never ends up dead despite promises. f7+f8 is very hard on leah.

angelo:

angel and ramsey have been besties for years. they worked on god’s eye together. it was ramsey’s baby, but angelo was there to help out.

angelo is more the ‘people person’ than ramsey and has more connections in both the hacking world and the racing world.

his hacker tag is 4ngel0. he was accused of it being ‘not really creative’ but argues back that ramsey’s just using her actual name.

since rome and angelo don’t actually make anything official between them until like the end of f8, angelo does hook-up with little nobody. just once. they still flirt a lil afterwards, but it’s clear between them that it’s just a joke, mainly to tease roman.

i was going to make letty and angel siblings, but the actors’ ethnicities didn’t line up so i scrapped that. they still have big sibling energy though and were neighbours as kids.

angelo is not much of a driver. he grew up in the environment of it with the torettos and letty, but he always had more interest in computers and tech. he and jesse got along really well before angel left town.

santiago:

santiago is a doctor. it’s how he met dante in the first place.

he wasn’t born in rio, but went there to work in his mid-late 20s. he was pretty sad to leave his family since he has 2 younger sisters and a younger brother he loves. he's kept in contact with them, but hasn’t seen them physically in years since being caught up in dante’s business.

santi is one of very few people who isn’t afraid of dante. he was in the beginning, but it’s been a decade, he’s gotten used to dante’s antics.

dante calls santiago ‘lucky’, short for ‘lucky charm’ since santi saved his life back in 2011 (f5).

santi and aimes don't like each other but pretend to get along for dante's sake. they're very short with each other and santi calls aimes 'amy', and aimes makes a lot of 'saint' comments about santiago.

santi is actually a pretty decent driver. not a racer by any means, but he's still pretty good behind the wheel. he's also not afraid to use a gun when needed.

he doesn’t necessarily agree with what dante’s doing, but he can’t really do anything to stop him. once dante has a plan in mind, it's hard to sway him so santi's just staying out of it.

the santi x dante romance is very …. beauty and the beast. it’s a lil on the ‘problematic’ side, but hey there’s gotta be conflict for an interesting story and it’s not real. also dante is ……… dante, obviously nothing is going to be easy with him.

yara:

spreading my ‘cipher is a lesbian’ agenda. evil lesbians get to do crimes actually.

yara used to work for ‘the agency’ under mr nobody. she was on a team with a few other agents, including aimes. she got along with most of the team except for aimes. she'd only briefly met mr nobody and worked closer with his daughter, tess.

she and tess dated briefly for a few months before breaking it off.

it was aimes’ call to abandon her in favour of finishing a mission. it’s going to come back around to bite him in the ass when cipher and the crew turn up and yara kicks aimes’ ass. or just shoots him. she doesn’t care about the fam vs dante nonsense actually.

not that she’d ever openly admit it, but she thinks letty is very hot.

she’s an excellent shot and has a favour for rifles. a lot of the guns on cipher’s jet are actually yara’s.

yara knows nothing about hacking. cipher goes on-and-on and yara just nods.

yara and connor were pretty decent friends; though yara wasn’t quick to trust after being betrayed by her last team. they used to have shooting competitions for fun. it’s a sore spot for yara that cipher went to dom to warn him about dante since dom killed connor and yara's not over it.

yara was the only half-decent one to elena while she was captive, but yara really doesn't like babies that much. she does think it was unfortunate that elena was killed, but hey, 'dom knew the risks'.

Henry is counting down days until Christmas break, though not because he’s particularly fond of the holidays. He’s going to spend them by himself, watching Wong Kar-wai movies and enjoying having the apartment to himself, which means he doesn’t have to witness Alex traipsing around hungover, wrapped in a bathrobe and chugging gatorade, or worse; hear him having sex with someone he’s brought home from one of his stupid parties.  So to say Henry is relieved when Alex finally leaves for Texas would be an understatement.  And of course Alex has to be… well, all Alex about it.
