This is not a love story; it's a ghost story.
[AU where Steve & Bucky both fall from the train.]
This is a language Steve understands.
Almost the worst thing is how Steve doesn’t really see stuff. It’s not exactly like Steve sees the world through rose-colored glasses, but there’s a lot of things Steve doesn’t see.
Sometimes, because Steve doesn’t see it, other people don’t see it too. Like how Steve doesn’t see any problem with throwing a big hubcap at people who’re trying to shoot you. Steve didn’t see the problem, so somehow everybody just accepted it.
But sometimes other people do see the stuff Steve doesn’t see.
The Commandos don’t spend time with Bucky much.
"Steve had learned that if you messed with someone--well, with Bucky, anyway--you could create the illusion of force."
He wanted to say that, to say, "Bucky, you’re perfect," except he couldn’t talk over the dick in his mouth, and he wasn’t sure Bucky would appreciate it, anyway. Steve is a little fucked up. Bucky is a lot fucked up, drunk with despair, and completely filthy.
There is a way these things are done; this is not it. -- Or the one where Steve belongs to the Winter Soldier.
It was a throwaway comment, nothing he'd actually meant-- but as it turns out, well. Maybe Steve does like getting punched after all.
Post-movie AU in which Bucky didn’t just leave Steve on a river bank...he took him.
