Summary
“I am no longer the Winter Soldier. I’m James Bucky Barnes. And you’re part of my efforts to make amends.” Smile. The smile’s important. The smile is something his therapist didn’t tell him to do. The smile means he’s not following orders, he’s doing things his own way. It’s stupid. But when he practices the phrase, it keeps him from punching the mirror.

Summary
There’s no plan. Why would there be a plan? Who would need a plan when running into an open war zone?
Bucky thinks that if he and Sam had met when they were thirteen they’d be inseparable by now. Fortunately for both of them they met when Bucky was a brainwashed assassin and Sam was trying to help kill him, so they can keep driving each other up the wall.

Summary
Bucky pulls away, his hands cradling Steve’s face, and he begs without saying the word please. “Zemo knows ‘em. I can’t… I can’t risk it.”
The silence stretches on for a long time. It grates against Bucky’s ears. His life hasn’t been quiet since the war.
And then Steve reaches up to wrap his hands around Bucky’s, and it’s not a sentimental gesture. His grip is tight enough that Bucky thinks it might dent his metal palm, but he doesn’t care. They don’t take risks with this.
“Желание. Ржавый. Печь. Рассвет. Семнадцать. Доброкачественные. Девять. Возвращение домой. Один. Грузовой вагон.”

Summary
Bucky thinks to himself, Sam wouldn’t have fucking done this. And when he picks up the shield, he comes to the awful realization that he’s gotten just as sucked up into this symbol as everyone else has. He picks up the shield and he figures out why exactly he hates Sam so much, and it’s not because he isn’t Steve. It’s because he isn’t him. Shield wrapped in his grip, Bucky stares at his arm and realizes he’s been fantasizing about this, because by God, if one thing could prove he wasn’t the Winter Soldier anymore, it’d be putting the cowl on himself.
But standing above Sam and Walker, Sam with his wings torn off and Walker full of nothing but anger and desire for the power, the title, Bucky knows that the only person who should carry that shield is the one person who knows how goddamn heavy it is.
He drops it at Sam’s side.

Summary
Yeah, Sam says on national television that the government is fucked and that the enemy was right and that the people in power are the people who will do anything to maintain it, and Bucky stares in awe at the man carrying the weight of those stars and stripes. But what really guts him, the image that he will close his eyes and see for days after, is Sam Wilson carrying the dead body of the enemy because she deserved decency. This is what Captain America does, he thinks. But it doesn’t matter. And he knows it. Because what Captain America does isn’t for him to decide.
