6 secrets ask game: Zemo, Bucky and Reader from LJH if that's not too much?
Sorry it took me a little while to get this one typed up. I'd gotten started the other day and my computer decided to say: eh it's been awhile since we've seen tech fail Letta come screaming to the surface. (And we're not talking about the writing block. Nope.)
Six Secrets: LJH Edition
Zemo
An open secret, so long as those that comprised the EKO Scorpion unit he commanded still draw breath, is that he looked to the skies that day so many years ago now and smiled: The Avengers are here.
A secret those close to him know: He never hesitates to toss out the barbed response when someone dares bring up those he lost. Three days. Three days of digging through rubble, until his hands all but matched the family he unearthed only to bury them again shortly thereafter. So many know those details. Only those closest to him know how many nights he spent sleepless, or how he'd wake in a cold sweat clawing at the sheets (or whatever random surface he'd happened to collapse upon from exhaustion), or that sometimes he can swear he still feels the layers of debris jammed beneath his fingernails...
A secret he doesn't much care one way or the other if it gets out? That prison break. You know the one. Yep. Not his brainchild... he wasn't, of course, going to let opportunity pass him by.
A secret exactly one person knows anything about: Only Oeznik knows the details of the various caches and safehouses scattering the globe.
A secret nobody knows about and he sort of wants to tell someone: That prisonbreak. He... wasn't so confident that it could be successfully managed, not that he let it stop him from pretending otherwise.
A secret no one knows and he desperately wants to keep it that way: "Well - then it wouldn't be a secret, would it."
Bucky
A supposed secret that is, in fact, known to many people is that he is a nerd. Smart doesn't cut it, even when you consider that the serum amplified his ability to recall, mimic, etc. Give him long enough to get comfortable and stop scowling, maybe mention movies or books or whatever might have recently caught his attention as he tried to reup on everything he's missed out on over the years...
A secret known by those closest to him: He can remember just about every moment from every mission. Faces of assignments wait to reappear in his dreams. He also remembers being dragged, barely conscious, through the snow. Which he shouldn't remember at all, but does. And pain. Through the haze of body wracking pain, he remembers. Moments that are burned in. Moments frozen in time. All of it.
A secret he wouldn't care about getting out: How quickly he flipped from wary of the presence of the young woman that attached to their group in Madripoor who was clearly tangled with Zemo, to something else.
A secret exactly one person knows anything about: Steven Grant Rogers knows, and the punk knows to keep his mouth shut about it cause secrets burn both ways.
A secret nobody knows about but he sort of wants to tell someone: The rooftop garden at his apartment building that was a no-go until it suddenly was allowed - yea, that was all him. Not that he went toe to toe with the landlord or anything. He just... made sure that one morning all the needed supplies, equipment, starter plants... all of it was up there on the roof.
A secret no one knows and he'd like to keep it that way, thanks: While it is true that living with minimal décor is easy on the wallet, that's not the reason for his lifestyle choices. Fewer belongings and a go bag always packed means he's ready when the occasion calls for it. He's waiting, still, for the other shoe to drop.
Reader
Her open secret always has been and always will be her harbored crush on one Helmut J Zemo.
A secret those close to her know: That though she's terrified to the point of a visceral reaction of the thought of being forced to return to Sokovia -- she also yearns to go back to the place she grew up.
A secret she wouldn't care if it got out: She leaned heavily on that numbness to the world to survive even the most difficult of days. The things that were tied to her life with the Zemos were always felt, always mourned. Nothing ever seemed to dull those sharp pangs of loss delivered.
A secret exactly one person knows anything about: There was a beach vacation being planned to surprise Helmut. It was still in early stages, but even Carl was helping - and oh-so-excited to plan something for his favorite person in all the world. She's the sole keeper of the secret, now.
A secret no one knows about that she sort of wants to reveal: Is it a secret that she's remained distant from her family because she's now older and is hesitant to see recognition of that on their faces? Is it only something that has gone unspoken but everyone is aware of... and very much needs to be addressed. At some point. Maybe. Or perhaps never, because while it was painful to lose them and then chaos when everyone returned she might sort of like the fact that the sibling dynamics are all messy now.
A secret no one knows and she desperately doesn't want anybody to know: It's been easy enough so far to explain away feelings, or point to other reasons, but more and more it seems to be that there's a bit of a uniform fixation in play. If that's the case... if Bucky's actually flirting with her... and if he ever figures out that she's attracted to him, too? Yea. This could be a problem. (In that it wouldn't be a problem but it could be such a problem.)
At the end of the day, he is more accustomed to following orders than giving them; he is not at all certain what sort of monarch he will make.
★ - a guilty desire they are ashamed of
He dreams sometimes, of holding a sword to Bharmal’s throat and demanding his birthright, and then, in his mind’s eyes, the face before him shifts to that of the father he only half-remembers, and he wakes, heart beating twice as fast with horror.
♒ - a secret that’s obvious
If it came down to it, Sujamal would choose his sister over the throne every time.
∇ - a secret about your muses family
Sujamal is unsure exactly how his father passed away; at his worst moments, an allegation hovers on his lips--but one he does not dare make.
☼ - a person who knows most of the muses secrets
Jodhaa, insomuch as Sujamal chooses to share them; Bharmal might make the most effort at uncovering them, but it is Jodhaa who recieves answers without even seeking them out.
♡ - a secret about their love life
His liaisons are always discreet; he will not have them seen with suspicion because of his uncle’s mistrust--or worse, used against him.

I was tagged by thedamngoodcoffee. I’m not sure how ‘secret’ these things are, but here’s me giving it a shot.
1. I’m a writer, but I’ve only told a few people IRL. I can be really weird about giving out my pen names. However, if people ask, I’ll tell them – as long as those people aren’t my parents.
2. I reread more books more than I buy new books. But I’ve got a TBR pile in the 100s. (Okay, that last part is just part of being a reader)
3. I loved going to grad school, but I much preferred the socializing and sitting in classes to coming up with new ideas. I’m not getting a PhD no matter how rose-colored my glasses get about that time I was there.
4. I was heinously bullied through middle school and it only stopped when I got violent with the leader of the bullies. I was only ever bullied by boys, not girls.
5. If I was given a do-over and could go back to the beginning of college and redo the past ten years, I’d probably take it. I wouldn’t want to go back any earlier, though.
6. Other than writing, I have no idea what I want to do with my life and I feel like I’ve been drifting for the past six years.
