Hello! Jumping off from the nonnie asking about WW2 era Stucky fics, more specifically could you rec any fics that actually feature the Howling Commandos? I know some on the list you already supplied would certainly qualify!

Hi! Oh, that is a good question... A couple on the list I posted before do definitely feature the Howling Commandos, so I'll add those here again, and then a few others that I thought of (also, thanks to the lovely @leihaddock for helping me out with this!)

If anyone has any other good recs though, please feel free to share, because I know I'm forgetting so many! <3

a fucking fact is bucky has ALWAYS seen captain america as more than captain america. to him steve and sam are just guys that he loves. just dudes he would die for. this bitch is one of the only men who has taken the time to really look beyond the shield so THERE.

The Bank Scene™ in CA:TWS is such an iconic scene that I feel like sometimes we gloss over its significance.

Up to this point, we have only seen Bucky as the Winter Soldier. I think it's kind of dulled after a few watches because we know it's Bucky, but the Winter Soldier is terrifying. He's ruthless and devastatingly efficient. The look on Natasha's face when she sees him is enough to get across just how disturbing it is to be face-to-face with the Winter Soldier; even someone who knows him, someone who has fought him before, is so terrified of him.

For most of the first 1/3-1/2 of the movie, the glimpses we get of the human beneath the armor are incredibly sparse. For much of his screentime before his identity is revealed, we can't even see his eyes. He is stripped of all of his humanity. Silenced by the muzzle, physically restrained by the leather uniform, his metal arm so prominently displayed.

That's why the scene in the basement of the bank is so off-putting. Suddenly, he isn't the brutally efficient weapon, he isn't the skilled assassin. He's half-naked, restrained, and fully at the mercy of people we know for a fact he could easily kill. He lets Pierce smack him across the face without any reaction. We watch him cry and panic and tremble in fear, we watch his humanity, so long repressed, try to peek out.

Again, on our second and third and fifteenth rewatches (and for anyone at all familiar with the comics), we know all along that the Winter Soldier is Bucky. We see the Winter Soldier as a person the whole time, we empathize with him even when he's the ruthless weapon of HYDRA. The gravity of this scene is lost. But when you look at it with fresh eyes, when you fully grasp how disturbing that scene is... ugh.

It kinda feels personal: Rumlow, Hydra, and SteveBucky

Rumlow is interesting because he has such a specific moral code. he joined Hydra for the greater good, he was a true believer, yet he also canonly admired Steve, he made sure to let Steve know the fight wasn't personal, he ordered Rollins to not point the gun at him in public, he sympathized with Bucky.

it made so much sense that he went solo afterwards. 'there're no prisoners in Hydra, only order.' but if not Bucky then himself is proof that there WERE prisoners, perhaps most of them were. Hydra was just another death cult, no matter how they branded it.

how does this affect how we interpret the your Bucky scene? the strategy hinges on his assumption of Steve's devotion to Bucky. how could he have known? through Bucky. Rumlow knew then Hydra brainwashed Bucky frequently. still, Bucky remembered him, their bond must've been incredibly strong.

that's when it became personal. Rumlow was alone, hurt, he almost died for a cult for nothing, he was humiliated and betrayed. and here was Steve, a hero, surrounded by pals and most importantly, was so loved even Hydra's brainwashing couldn't eradicate that from Bucky. yeah so fuck Captain America and his 'friendship'. you love him as much as he loves you? well then, that's gonna be your demise just as it was his.
