ooc. a little sidenote to that tag rant: people who claim bucky hated peggy because ‘she took steve away from him’ should really shut the fuck up.
bucky would never ever even think about hating a beautiful, strong, smart woman who is obviously madly in love with his best friend. for years, he tried to make people (and especially girls) see what an amazing guy steve was but nobody managed to see past the illnesses and the weak body. but then peggy comes along and he hears these stories about how she punched hodge in the face for being sexist and how she treated steve even before the serum and he sees the way she looks at him and seriously, i bet he adored peggy for the woman she was. i bet they had drinks together all the time, ranting about another stupid thing steve pulled during a mission. i bet bucky teased steve about that picture of peggy in his compass. i bet he told him to fucking ask her for a decent picture. i bet he jokingly told steve ‘serum or not, she can still kick your ass. hell, she can even kick my ass’ more than once. i bet the three of them got along great and it were some of the happiest moments of their lives. because steve had his best friend and his best girl right next to him. and seeing steve being happy made bucky happy. after all these years of struggling and illness and poverty, steve was happy and that was all bucky ever wanted.
and you wanna know how i know all this? simple. for those of you who’ve seen agents of shield (everyone, i think), you know bucky was on the wall of valor at the shield academy. how do you think he got there? shield didn’t even exist when bucky fell. it didn’t exist when steve fell. the only people who survived long enough to see shield be born, were the howling commandos and peggy. and peggy helped start shield. so the only way bucky got his name on that wall was if someone inside the earliest shield decided he should be made a shield agent even after his death so he could be put on that wall and get the honor he deserved. the only person who had that kind of power and opportunity, was peggy carter. because she knew steve would have wanted it. because she admired bucky for what he had done for steve and loved him like the great friend he was to her. and i bet she was there when his name was carved into that stone, together with the howling commandos. i bet she cried. because nobody will tell me peggy and bucky were not badass friends protecting their precious little puppy steve.
