not the anon but what if buckys soulmark was on his left arm? and he lost it in the fall? what if when he starts to remember he doesnt remember what it was? OMG what if its an AU where the marks match and Steve sees Sams mark at one point and recognises it?
oh that just makes the red star MEAN, like HYDRA put a mark on him just to rub it in that his real soulmate mark was gone. D: I mean, not that HYDRA was ever in any way NOT mean but yeah still.
*pictures the asset scratching restlessly at the star and feeling like there’s supposed to be something underneath it, if he could only get through it*
*noooooooooooooooooo*
… you know, I wonder how much of his real arm is left underneath all the metal, because I can TOTALLY picture HYDRA preserving juuuuust enough of it to keep his soulmate mark from reforming somewhere else, never mind if it’s more of a strain or more painful or whatever.
oh and here’s a cruel and terrible thought: what if Steve sees Sam’s mark BEFORE he finds out Bucky’s alive, yeah, what if that, that sounds RUTHLESS AND AWFUL AND UPSETTING AND LIKE MY EXACT AESTHETIC. >:D
