Wanna know about Whumpee Bucky (ouch)
Yes the name is Quite Sad but I promise it’s not all sad!! This was just a descriptor I came up with when I wasn’t sure what direction the fic was gonna go yet; a more apt name now would be “High on Pain Meds Bucky”! Essentially the Avengers + Bucky + Sam are raiding a Hydra base that’s more prepared than they thought. A specialized, localized EMP took out Bucky’s arm and it dropped onto his shoulder joint, cracking it. (We’re pretending that’s not metal at this point too, honestly.) So far it’s a whole lot of Bucky being half-awake:
“Babe,” Bucky interrupted, going to pat Steve’s shoulder, but missing and accidentally patting the side of his face instead. “Tell me when I can actually remember.”
“Sap,” came from the man in question, who was barely awake. “Hey, Wilson.”
“Hey yourself, Barnes. Tell your boyfriend to stop going mental, please.”
“Stevie,” Bucky said, again patting his face. “Stop goin’ mental.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Steve laughed. “I’ll listen to you when you can stay awake for longer than five minutes, maybe.”
Bucky tapped his fingers against Steve’s ear in what was probably supposed to be a flick. “Ow,” Steve said helpfully.
“Dick,” Bucky muttered back, falling asleep again.
Also, it features Tony having a heart and making stir fry! All around a pretty good time and not at all what the working title suggests. 😂
