Completed: 232 Ks Summary: With his college dreams and life plans frozen in his past, Steve Rogers spends his days working a dead-end job, taking care of his ma and niece, doing street art, and occasionally riding his bike. But when Bucky Barnes, his best friend’s older brother, makes a surprising return home after being gone for years, many of the dreams he had learned to shield himself from start to make his way into his life, making him struggle to reconcile his own desires with his fears and responsibilities. (based on Shelter, the 2007 movie) Title, from The Beatles: Got To Get You Into My Life

Well, it is here. I don’t even know how this came to be, but… here it is: The (somehow loose) Shelter AU that I "vomited" for fun. And it would NOT be here without @thewinterwelded, @between-a-ship-and-a-hard-place and @dreamsinthewitchouse who made the best suggestions when I was close THIS CLOSE to give up making sense of it. This fic started as a messy stream os consciousness thing for myself, and it wouldn’t be here without them. And I mean literally, since it'd not only be a much worse story, but also forever sitting on my hard drive. THANK YOU. Being able to talk about this is the most enjoyable part of this process.

(more notes about warnings and updates on Ao3. This thing is written to the end, and I hope to edit fast enough to update weekly :)) For @stuckybingo SB045 NI "AU: Movie” aka That Shelter AU
