  2. Summary

    I recommend you read them in order.

    Re: the series title: An option offense is an American football offensive system in which a key player (usually the quarterback) has several "options" of how each play will proceed based upon the actions of the defense. In a read option play, the quarterback has only one teammate to whom he can pitch or hand the ball, and he typically "reads" the initial movement of the defensive end when deciding whether to run a keeper or hand it off. The QB will have a lot of freedom with the Read Option, and he'll need to read the defense quickly and correctly to maximize the results of the play. Option plays require good decision making from the quarterback, being able to make the correct read of the defense in a split second. They are also more likely to expose quarterbacks to big hits. If a quarterback can't adjust to protect himself, he will end up hurt.

    Summary

    Steve lives his life exactly the way he wants to, he's got his routine, his work, and the last thing he wants is for something, or someone, to mess that up for him. It's all going well until one day a stranger comes into his world and threatens to change it forever, unless he can keep himself from letting that happen.

    (Alternately: two lonely men find an unlikely friendship in each other, and perhaps maybe more)

    Summary

    The Winter Soldier first noticed it when he was on the helicarrier.

    The blonde’s shoulders were broad, incredibly broad.

    They stretched the blue uniform in a wide span, drawing down to a narrow waist. It was a distinctly triangular silhouette. It was entirely improbable. And somehow it was strangely familiar.

    The Winter Soldier raised his gun and fired. He didn’t have time for distractions, or Steve Rogers’ shoulders.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes and his best pal Steve Rogers stumble into a situation that leaves Bucky feeling tongue-tied, out of his element, and convinced that Steve—Steve!—has more experience with the ladies than he previously let on. It's terrible.

    (Pre-serum Steve, pre-war Brooklyn, befuddled Bucky, and showgirls, for your pleasure.)

    Summary

    For a couple minutes he slots through some things that are only just now making a whole lot of sense — like how odd his stomach felt every time their teacher in middle school, Mr. Barlow, so much as looked at him, and how he had the urge to go back and see Bringing Up Baby six or seven times just to re-watch the moment where Cary Grant was running around in a women’s dressing gown. It was a comedy, he’d told himself at the time — of course he’d liked it. Funny how things make sense in retrospect.

    Summary

    In 1918, Bucky is forced to flee New York with his family. In 1923, he returns as a prize fighter, determined to send money to his sisters and stay far away from the gang violence that destroyed their home.

    And then Steve Rogers shows up.

    These days, Bucky’s childhood pal isn’t facing down neighborhood bullies. He’s taking on every factory owner in the Garment District—and every gangster they hire to intimidate union members.

    By joining the fray as Steve’s bodyguard, Bucky can finally stand up to the mobsters who took so much from him. And if that means spending a whole lot of time by Steve’s side…well, that’s just an added bonus.
