Illustration of a quote from theheartischill’s fic Fission, about Bucky and what he did as the Winter Soldier. (you should also read the rest of their works (if you can handle deep Bucky-recovery angst) they write beautifully)

(fill for @buckybarnesbingo​‘s prompt: angst) (it’s more a montage of still images than an actual moving video, so it starts slow, wait a few seconds; also: it’s silent)

Full quote in text format and stills below the cut. Here on AO3.

Full quote is: “Nothing holds the enormity of what he's done. Nothing in the world of people. At the bottom of the ocean, maybe, all darkness and weight. Or beyond: in space, beyond the gravitational pull of the sun, where it is airless and frozen.“

[Images descriptions: Background a dark blue ink texture, the same for both pictures.The first picture shows red lineart of Bucky (in his hydra uniform) curved in a loose ball, in a sinking position; giant whale ribs that small clutters of fish are swimming around in the background. Handwritten light yellow text says “All darkness”. In the second picture, the background has small stars, and bucky is curved out, head and feet back, in a floating position, his weapons floating around him. His lineart is light yellow. Pale blue text says “in space / beyond the gravitational pull / of the sun”]

My notes:

You know the phrase, fake it till you make it? Well, in this Bucky tries that, and it doesn’t work. It’s a long road, and a complicated one, but it’s delightful to read, even when your heart hurts for them.

My notes:

I really like this recovery fic, where Steve is also a mess while trying to help Bucky recover, and it’s tricky for him to balance. Good thing they’ve got additional back-up.
