Summary
In "U.S. AGENT #2: Southern Hospitality (And Lack Thereof)" it's revealed that at roughly ten years old John's house burned to the ground with him still inside, his sister Katie ran back into their room, but only to grab her doll, leaving John in the fire despite him being savable. luckily he was saved by his older brother.
This oneshot, however, is my MCU take on the housefire.
What if there was no Katie to grab her doll? What if there was no big brother savior? How would this change him? And most importantly, how would this change the context of the Vault escape scene?

Summary
Part 1 — Second Chance, First Choice
A glitch in time punts John back to the morning before the serum. This time he saves Lemar, learns that “boring is merciful,” and quietly hands the shield to Sam—claiming U.S.Agent and a kinder way to be a hero.Part 2 — The Safety Net Clause
Thunderbolts, but with guardrails. John joins on his terms—nonlethal-first rules, lanes for civilians, Sentry kept steady—and outsmarts Val while running city-scale saves. By the end, the world hears it: “Captain America stands with U.S.Agent.” -

Summary
What if a temporal hiccup meant Steve Rogers completely botched his trip back in time and landed smack-dab in the middle of the newly formed Thunderbolts? A group of dysfunctional "heroes" with more baggage than a lost-and-found convention.
For John Walker, it's the greatest day of his life. A lifelong fanboy, he's now on a team with his idol, Captain America, and Bucky Barnes, the one guy who’s been giving him the cold shoulder since forever. But John's hero worship is more than Bucky can take. Now Bucky has to deal with the guy he thought abandoned him and a puppy-dog soldier who's showering Steve with the admiration Bucky had been so carefully rejecting. It's a possessive, jealousy-fueled nightmare.
Now, with missions to run and way too many feelings to unpack, the trio finds themselves in the most awkward love triangle in superhero history.
Their solution? To somehow convince a completely oblivious John Walker that two of the world’s most complicated ex-soldiers are clumsily trying to court him. It's all a disaster, but hey, at least they're in it together.

Summary
Former Captain America, asshole-extraordinaire, John Walker has spent his entire life pretending, first as a hero, then as a soldier, and last as a father. But always, always as an Alpha.
But now, thrown into the chaos of his new life as a member of the so called "New Avengers", he starts to realize that he can't hide what he is forever. Between high-stakes missions, a shifting power dynamic, and domestic shenanigans, John’s secrets begin to unravel beneath his feet.
....Also, is there something going on with Bob?
Or: the one where John Walker is a closeted Omega, finds a team that becomes a family, works on his issues, and maybe, eventually, lets someone love him.

Summary
John Walker is an impending time bomb... of flesh or whatever mussy gushy words Bob would use.
He was 9 or so months along now, he'd lost count way long ago enough to not care anymore even though that just meant his biggest fear would only get worse due to the uncertainty all around.
John was stubborn; always was, always has been. Anyone could tell you that but even in his state of pain he is very neglectful of help.
Like almost everyone around him, told him.

Summary
John only ever knew vanilla sex with Olivia. Bob was used to the opposite—fast, intense, detached. When they start dating, their ways of understanding sex clash more than either of them is willing to admit… until silence is no longer an option.
Based on a Tumblr post I couldn’t find again to give proper credit. Whoever you are, I couldn’t stop thinking about your post until I wrote this fic.

Summary
John never thought of himself as talented.
Growing up in rural Georgia, there wasn't much around but the school and the Chevron gas station up a few miles from his house that he would park his dad's old two-seater truck at and squint at who was working the counter through the window before heading inside. His buddy, Shawn, wouldn't ID him for the Kodiak dip if he paid in cash and let the guy take a few dollars off the top.
His high school wasn't anything special either. Mostly outdoor and the majority of funding going towards the football field— not that he ever cared as he was the captain of the football team anyways. He was always fascinated during the shows the band did halfway through the games. The loud instruments, the formations, the flying flags, even the uniforms had him curious.
John's father told him once that he would rather have a pathetic football player son than a faggot trumpet player one. He never brought up joining the school's band again.or,

Summary
John Walker had a choice, and he said no. He rejected the Captain America shield, hoping to cheat a prophecy of ruin, but some things are fated: if it was meant to be, it will be, and it was.
The mantle wasn't a job; it was a curse that destined him to fall. The shield pulled him back to the serum, the moment of Lemar's death, and public catastrophe.
Now, part of the Thunderbolts team, John is consumed by the poison in his blood. He finds a brutal kind of mirror in Bucky Barnes, the only man who knows what it means to be a weapon broken by the state.
Their relationship is not love; it’s a necessary, desperate pact built on shared trauma, where Bucky’s cold, unyielding Vibranium arm becomes the only anchor John has left.

Summary
After the events of Thunderbolts, John Walker is back on a team, in the public eye—but he’s not the same man who chased glory behind a shield. John struggles to hold together a life that never truly belonged to him.
Haunted by the parts of his past no one saw— secret violence, abuse under command, the silent price of being "the good soldier"— he begins journaling on Ava’s suggestion. What starts as a survival mechanism slowly unravels the truths he’s buried for years.
Among a team that masks its own trauma with bravado, sarcasm, and poorly cooked meals, John is forced into reluctant vulnerability in multiple scenarios. From his relationship with Bob to his obsessive need to cut, he needs to learn to break out of the abuse.

Summary
He doesn’t want to hurt the people he cares about. He may be an asshole, a mess on a good day, but nowhere in any of his life had he trained himself to turn on his own men.
Things have to change, and for that, John has to change.
John walks right into the common room, past the startled faces of his team, up to Bucky, and demands, “I want to do therapy.”

Summary
After the Thunderbolts, John Walker is trying—therapy, fatherhood, co-parenting, and holding together the life he almost lost. He’s oblivious to the fact that half his new team has adopted him as family… and that Bucky Barnes is very much in love with him.
Between Alexei sneaking casseroles, Yelena heckling like a little sister, Ava’s rare but pointed check-ins, Bob drifting in like a storm front and quieting the room just to stand in John’s orbit (because John’s steady hands and warm hugs anchor the Void better than any drug), and Sam trying to play wingman, John slowly learns he’s allowed to want things for himself.
Bucky just hopes he notices before the whole world figures it out first.
It turns out love isn’t a mission, and family isn’t a unit—it’s a branch that grows, if you let it.
