Steve and/or Bucky's past comes a-callin'

[ladyhatshepsut.livejournal.com]

I know such stories exist because I've read them.  I just can't find the bloody things!  These stories take place right after the Battle of New York or after the fight between Cap and WS and Bucky comes in  from the cold.  When the images hit TV and the internet family is going to show up, most likely at the Tower or Steve's new house.  First, the one's I thought I had downloaded but are AWOL.  A young black man shows up with his grandmother, great-uncle, and great-aunt looking for Steve, having driven across country.  They are Bucky's younger siblings who were ordered by their dad to shun Bucky for being with a man when he moved in with Steve.  I think Bucky does reveal himself to his brother and sisters, who are overjoyed to see him.  The next story has 3 (or maybe 4) elderly women living together (probably in assisted living) seeing the Battle of New York and TV and realizing that its THE Steve and not a clone.  They drive from a distance to the Tower and demand to see Steve Rogers.  He and Tony happen to be crossing the lobby and Steve is surprised and over joyed to see some of his old USO dancers.  The third story I recall is the Tower lobby being invaded by an angry contingent of the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the Howling Commandoes and their siblings.  They're pissed off that some clone or whoever he is is wearing Captain America's suit and pretending to be him.  Steve and a couple other Avengers come down to the lobby and he finally convinces them that hes the real deal when he recognized Bucky's little sister and calls her by a nickname only he used.

Do these ring any bell for anyone?  I'd love to find these stories and any other with a like storyline.  And I promise I'll do a better job of keeping track of them.  Thanks.

I don't know the other two.

That's one. Thank you. I'm going to re-read it (and mark it this time) as soon as I get the next response straightened out.

I think the one where they storm the lobby is either part of A Very Good Team by Queb on fanfiction.net or Damaged Defenders by Sherza. Actually it might be a combo of both because I know the one Damaged Defenders had the Howling Commando relatives thinking it was a clone and A Very Good Team had Steve recognizing Bucky's sister or niece.

That whimpering and thud sound you hear is me banging my head against the wall. Damaged Defenders (by Sherza at AO3) and A Very Good Team (by Qweb at FanFiction.Net) are two stories, sagas even, that I've been reading over and over for quite awhile. Reading again as chapters are added and tweaking for possible printing when they're finished for my own private library of fanfic faves. It's just that the tales are so long (at 108 and 74 chapters respectively, and counting) with so many smaller stories and characters going on that its really easy to lose specific vignettes in the whole mass. If you like long stories, I do recommend these. (And hopefully I'd find this thread before I lose my memory and ask for the same damn stories in a few months. Again.) And my thanks to you, ananova55.
