    Summary

    On July 11, 2025, Canadian singer-songwriter Jay McCarrol was arrested for the murder of Luke Lalonde, a member of his live band. He was charged with second degree murder and sentenced to 8 years of incarceration in a federal correctional facility.

    Famously, despite damning and public video evidence and multiple eyewitness accounts, McCarrol has denied any and all connection to the crime.

    On December 25, 2026, Jon “Matt” Johnson was arrested on charges of domestic terrorism. He was sentenced to 12 years of incarceration in the same facility.

    The audio you are about to hear was recorded in the Collins Bay Multilevel Correctional Institution between the dates of February 19 and March 3, 2027.*

    Summary

    Twelve days ago, Captain America had landed in England, on a ten stop tour to cheer our boys in service, one of the first USO shows to ever brave the front. Seven days ago, Captain America had gone AWOL in Italy after learning that the 107th had been decimated, and many of its forces captured by the Nazis. Three days ago, he arrived back in the Allied camp, having crossed thirty miles of heavily fortified enemy territory with nearly two hundred POWs in tow, chief among them one Sgt James Barnes.

    "Well that - that does rather sound like Steve," Mother says.

    -

    Or: the Barnes family, during the events of The First Avenger.

    Summary

    Bucky gets on a Manhattan bound train around 2:30, heading to 8th St. He watches the Lady far off on Liberty Island as they roll over the East River. The train is crowded and people smile at him, pleased to see a handsome young man in uniform. He smiles back, pleased with the world and everything in it. He wonders where Steve might want to go for lunch. What he'd say if Bucky asked him if he’d ever thought about treating this thing between them as real.

    He comes out of the subway a little before 3 o'clock, and the world has changed.

    Summary

    Two key truths had remained constant for Jay McCarrol since his childhood: one, Matt was always there; and two, Jay had no real sense of direction in his life.

    On the rare occasions in which he had allowed himself to reflect on it, Jay had always ended up reaching the same conclusion: a change in number one must be the key to changing number two.

    After experiencing a timeline without Matt at his side and making the decision to go back to set things right, though, Jay realizes how much he values the life that they have together, and it finally occurs to him that maybe the purpose that he’s been searching for his whole life has been right there in front of him the entire time.

     

    Or, Jay decides to propose to Matt.
