I reread this story recently. It’s a magical au done really, really well. In it, Bucky is a somewhat chaotic nurse with the curse/gift of prophetic dreams that he’s usually fairly bad at interpreting. He does, however, correctly See that he’s about to meet his soulmate.
No prizes for guessing who that is.
(It’s Steve)
I really enjoyed the world building in this story, with all the different powers and types of magic that are presented as normal in this world. I also loved how the story isn’t really about all the magical shenanigans. Even though Bucky knows that he and Steve are soulmates, there’s no magically-denstined certainty that they’ll end up together. At its heart this story is about getting to know someone and falling in love and choosing to let someone into your life. It’s told with a lot of humour, feeling and (sometimes literal) warmth in this fic.
