bucky thought he was done with being used as a weapon against his will. turns out he was wrong about that.

he also thought he was pretty much done unpacking the emotional baggage left behind from years of trauma. well, he was wrong about that too.

how bucky barnes accidently became an avenger and married steve rogers. or some shit like that.

steve smiles against him, still getting his kicks with the whole thing. because he might be a truly wonderful person, but he can also be a little shit if he wants to be.

“never fucking do that to me again,” bucky says, but it lacks venom.

“i won’t.” steve says.

but bucky knows he will because he’s steve.'

or: whether he's doing it on purpose or not, steve consistently scares the crap out of bucky, who is already trying to deal with his looming feelings for the little punk. it's giving him gray hair.

five times steve rogers doesn’t need a guard dog (and one time...)

an account of every kiss steve rogers has ever given or received. or maybe only the ones he remembers.

either way, five hundred doesn't seem like much.

steve rogers falls from a speeding train and bucky barnes is left to carry the mantle and the shield. in the twenty-first century, the winter soldier is brought in from the cold and there can be no redemption.

captain america 3: the fallen son is a 2016 american superhero film based on the marvel comics character captain america, produced by marvel studios and distributed by paramount pictures.

five times bucky kissed steve because of ~reasons~, and one time steve finally believed he really meant it.

steve steps back into the car and closes the door, lips still tingling.

“you don’t like blondes,” bucky says.

sam chokes.

winter soldier set to stand trial for washington d.c. massacre and treason.

steve swallows hard, or tries to; his throat’s too damned tight.

“you,” and steve’s hands are brands, are vises against the wound where it’s spilling, where bucky ran and leapt where steve hadn’t even thought to look, where it’s bucky’s body that’s failing, bucky’s artery that’s leaking too fast to rightly heal, and it should’ve been steve.

it should have been steve.
