NATIONAL BESTSELLER • SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST EDITED ANTHOLOGY • BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE FOR SUPERIOR ACHIEVEMENT IN AN ANTHOLOGY • LOCUS AWARD FINALIST A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: “Are you ready to be un-settled?” “Never failed to surprise, delight, and shock.” —Nick Cutter, author of The Troop and Little Heaven Featuring stories by: Norris Black • Amber Blaeser-Wardzala • Phoenix Boudreau • Cherie Dimaline • Carson Faust • Kelli Jo Ford • Kate Hart • Shane Hawk • Brandon Hobson • Darcie Little Badger • Conley Lyons • Nick Medina • Tiffany Morris • Tommy Orange • Mona Susan Power • Marcie R. Rendon • Waubgeshig Rice • Rebecca Roanhorse • Andrea L. Rogers • Morgan Talty • D.H. Trujillo • Theodore C. Van Alst Jr. • Richard Van Camp • David Heska Wanbli Weiden • Royce K. Young Wolf • Mathilda Zeller Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home. These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.

Another Time

Summary: Memories are mixed up in the Winter Soldier’s mind but he realizes the blond man is the one who knows the truth.

Length: 2.4 K

Characters: Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, Gabe, Dum Dum, Dot, Dr. Zola, older man in suit (Pierce).

Warnings: Breaks in Bucky’s programming allow old memories to intrude on the present, implied violence, implied torture, anger, fury.

Author notes: As this one-shot starts Bucky and Steve are back in New York, along with the Howling Commandos, home for a hero’s welcome. Except things keep popping up that puzzle Bucky, because they don’t belong. More memories occur, that reinforce the feeling that something isn’t right, especially when they call him Soldat or Soldier. When the blond man calls him Bucky, the Soldier knows this man holds the key to the truth. Durachok = Russian for dummy.

🐙 🗝️

Together. The two men sat together, Peggy Carter squeezed between them, perched above the back seat of the 1940 Packard convertible. Bucky Barnes’ parents sat on the seat below them, while Rebecca sat in the front seat with the driver, basking in the glory of their son and brother, and the man they had always treated as their own, Steve Rogers, Captain America. As the ticker tape rained down on them, both men and the beautiful woman waved to the throngs of people that lined Broadway, right from Bowling Green up to City Hall. Behind them, in their own vehicles, also sharing the spotlight were the rest of the Howling Commandos, heroes of the war against the Nazis and HYDRA. It was a glorious moment for all of them but especially for the two men from Brooklyn.

As the procession inched past Wall Street the ticker tape seemed to get even heavier, draping itself around the shoulders of everyone in the car. Steve lifted some off of Peggy’s hair and heard yells of “Kiss her” reverberate from the multitudes. Obliging them, he kissed the British beauty, then raised her hand up with his, while she took Bucky’s hand in her other one, raising his as well. They all laughed, then waved at everyone again.

At the end of the parade, in front of City Hall, they disembarked from the car. Bucky’s parents and sister were escorted to their seats, located directly in front of the dais, set up for the ceremony, where the two Brooklyn boys would receive the keys to the city. The rest of the vehicles pulled up and the other Commandos joined them. Dum Dum, married with kids, hugged them, watching with amusement as their mother, his wife, herded them to their seats, still amazed how she did it on her own during the war. Gabe Jones’ family were also there, seated with all the other dignitaries, as if the colour of their skin didn’t matter, not in this day and age. In fact, a white man who was sitting in their seats willingly got up and moved so they could all sit together. Bucky was glad that the rest of New York saw what he and Steve saw in Gabe, a good soldier, as smart and capable as any other man. Placing his arm around the young private’s shoulders, Bucky leaned towards him.

“The world is our oyster, Gabe,” he remarked. “We’re going places. Just you see.”

“Sure, Sarge,” smiled the black man. “We’re going to change the world, starting with New York.”

The assembly was called to order, starting with the singing of the national anthem. For a moment, Bucky saw a black flag with a strange red insignia on it, fluttering behind all the Stars and Stripes that were waving in the wind. But when he looked again, it wasn’t there, and he figured with all he drank the night before he was seeing things. Wouldn’t be the first time he did that after having a little bender.

“Except you can’t get drunk anymore, remember?”

He turned around to see who was saying that. Of course, he could get drunk. He was a man, just like any other man. Figuring that someone was playing a joke on him he ignored it and focused on the mayor, who was approaching the microphone. He thanked everyone for coming out on such a glorious summer day. Which was odd, because Bucky remembered waking up a couple of days before and there was snow on the ground.

“That was a dream, durachok.”

There was that voice again. Once more he looked for whoever was speaking out of turn before turning his attention back to the mayor. That man was going on about Bucky joining the 107th, then Steve being changed by the super soldier serum in Project Rebirth, that turned him into Captain America.

“Now we have two super soldiers, that fought side by side, ridding the world of those who sought power just for the sake of it,” droned on the man.

Bucky was already bored and looked around, seeing a gorgeous blonde sitting beside an older general. He winked at her, and the general noticed, frowning at Bucky, then motioning to an aide and whispering in his ear. The general wore a little pin in his lapel and Bucky found himself staring at it, thinking it seemed familiar, but he wasn’t sure where he saw it before. It kind of resembled an octopus with its tentacles spread out. Before he could place it, he felt a hand on his left arm and looked up to see a smiling face, offering him a program. The man wouldn’t take no for an answer, so Bucky took the small pamphlet and idly opened it up. It was blank and he looked for the man who gave it to him to get one with printing on it, but he had already left. Before he could get up to find him, he heard his name again and immediately looked up, seeing the mayor gesture to him with a medal in his hand.

Smiling, Bucky stood up, strode confidently to the mayor and shook his hand. Then he glanced at his parents, expecting them to be proud as he received his medal. But instead, his mother and sister were crying, while his father had his arm around them, struggling to keep his composure.

“As you can see the soldier responds well to his name,” said the mayor, who suddenly seemed much shorter, with thinning hair and glasses. Bucky looked at him curiously. Whatever was the man talking about? “Soldier, who do you serve?”

“The United States of America,” replied Bucky.

It was obvious, wasn’t it? He was wearing the sergeant’s uniform of the United States Army. But when he looked down again, he was surprised to see he wasn’t wearing his army uniform. He was wearing plain black clothing, harsh and severe in look. The small man pinned the medal to his chest then stepped back and smiled at Bucky, waving him back to his seat. As he sat down, he looked closer at the medal and noticed it was like the pin that he saw on the general’s uniform. Its insignia was of a black octopus, its tentacles spread out out over a red background and he suddenly recognized it as the memory of where he knew it from made him afraid.

“No,” he murmured, then his murmurs became yells. “No, I’m not …. Get it off me! Get it off me!”

As he thrashed, he felt jolts from several different sources hitting his body and forcing him to his knees. Before he blacked out, the last thing he remembered was a heavy black boot aimed at his head. 🔹🔹 🔹

The music was too loud, and he opened his eyes. He was on the dance floor, right in front of the big band and a redhead was holding him up around the waist.

“Come on Sarge,” she said. “Cap said I had to get you back to base. You have a big mission tomorrow.”

“What’s your name, sweetheart?” asked Bucky, burying his face in her hair as her perfume invaded his senses.

“It’s me, Dot,” she laughed. “You really have had a few, haven’t you? Come on, soldier.”

Suddenly, they were outside and the cool breeze from the ocean revived him. He looked around, recognizing the boardwalk at Rockaway Beach. He must have been at the dancehall there and had a little too many double whiskeys. Dot still had her arm around him and was pulling him along the boardwalk.

“Where are we going, Dolores?” he asked, knowing that using her full name would irritate her but he didn’t care because he liked when she got all up in his face.

“Bucky, you know I don’t like my name,” she whined. “Now be a good boy and do as I order.”

“Oh, you’re ordering me now?” He laughed at her trying to be all dominant with him. “Give me a kiss first, and then you can order me around.”

She grabbed his face with her one hand. “Obey,” she commanded, and he suddenly didn’t like her tone, pulling his face away from her.

“You’re not my mother,” he grumbled, angry that this red headed woman who had strung him along for weeks now wanted him to obey her.

A slap across the face jolted him and Dot’s face disappeared in the darkness, replaced by the face of an angry man, whose scarred visage seemed to be cut from shards of steel.

“Soldier, you are to obey!” he hissed. “Perform your mission!”

“Fuck you,” spewed Bucky, then he put his left hand around the man’s throat and was shocked to see his hand was covered with a shiny metal.

Without a thought he pushed the man away from him, not even noticing that he had sent him through a wall. Then he focused on his hand and flexed it before trying to find the edge of the metal so he could peel off the shiny surface. There was no edge and as he switched his gaze further and further up the arm, he saw nothing but metal. He heard distinct mechanical whirring sounds as he twisted and turned the limb desperately searching for the lock that would remove this covering from his arm. Frantically, he began hitting it against the wall, then at a pillar covered in stone, wanting desperately to knock the metal off. Even as he succeeded in knocking parts of the metal off, he couldn’t see any skin beneath it. Instead, he saw machinery, gears, and nuts, and bolts, that clinked and clanked against each other before seizing up so that he couldn’t move his arm at all. His last thought then was wondering why all of the walls seemed to grow arms that were holding him down. One of them held a syringe and it bit into his neck, almost immediately, making him feel drowsy.

“Why?” he asked, over and over again. “Why?”

“Go to sleep, Soldat,” was the only response he heard before everything went dark. 🔹 🔹 🔹

It had been a confusing day. Two targets that turned to four, only one successful. Then a battle with a man he was sure he had seen before, who fought like him, hit for hit, blow for blow, moves that countered every one of his moves. The mask had been knocked off the Soldier’s face, exposing him to the air, and the blond target called him Bucky, like he knew him.

As he sat there in the lab, while the technician repaired the damage to his arm, there were flashes of another time, many other times. The target was there, calling him by name, laughing with him, crying for him, his face getting further and further away. Memories of what was done to the Soldier, his arm gone and replaced with a metal one, the torture, the machine …. With a rage that engulfed him he swept the technician away and sat up, vibrating with anger and fury. All the guards stepped forward with their guns pointed at him and he waited.

The older man in the suit appeared then, asking for his mission report but the Soldier wanted to know about the man on the bridge. He was slapped several times and could feel the anger building again but he held it back. The older man was dangerous and capable of hurting the Soldier. As he blathered on about the gift the Soldier had been to mankind, he focused on one thing, and one thing only. The man who called him Bucky. Somehow, he would find out the truth about him.

Later, he glared at the man who had called him Bucky. He remembered someone telling him to focus on the blond man but during the preparation for the mission the reason for focusing became lost and all he remembered was the death of this man was his mission. Nothing else mattered. They fought, with fist, and kicks, guns and knives, and that stupid shield that felt so familiar to him, but he couldn’t remember why it did. Then the Soldier was trapped, certain that his mission had failed, and the fear of his punishment filled his mind, soaked his brain in anticipation of the agony he would be subjected to. He almost cried as the man came closer and lifted the metal that trapped the Soldier, allowing him to slide out. Why? Why did he do that?

“I’m not going to fight you, Bucky,” said the man, throwing the shield away.

The fury of his mission returned, and he hit the man over and over and over again, until his face was bloody and once again, there was something familiar from another time about the man. Something buried so deep, that it wasn’t even a memory anymore. It was a feeling, a certainty, that this face was important to him, this face had been something precious and fragile, this face had been the face of a friend.

“I’m with you to the end of the line.”

Those words … he knew those words, from another place, another time, a time when this man was his brother. Then the blond man was gone, fallen through the broken glass to the river below, and a sickening feeling of dread filled the Soldier’s entire being. The mission to kill was replaced by something else. He had to find the man, find him and save him, because his life meant everything to the Soldier.

Letting go of the metal beam he plunged into the river, opened his eyes and found the man, sinking in the murky water, drowning right in front of him. Ignoring the pain of his broken right arm, he swam down to where the blond man was and pulled him up, kicking his feet until they broke the surface. Then he pulled the man to the water’s edge and looked at him for a long moment, making sure he was breathing before turning away. Until another time, the next time, when maybe he would remember.

April is Autistic Pride Month!

30 days of yippee characters!

For each day of Autistic Pride Month, I will draw a fictional character who is canonically or head canonically autistic or the 'sona of an IRL individual.
