    Summary

    How many times can someone watch the person they love leave before they break? Bucky has the bad habit of going away, and Steve... Steve’s bad habit is not telling people what’s on his mind. Instead, he lets it eat at him, swallowing his feelings because he can’t just ask Bucky to stay, and trying not to dwell too much on the fact that he might still be government property. After all, as long as Bucky is okay and Steve can do his job, it doesn’t really matter, does it?

    Summary

    "This is it," Bucky murmured to no one but Mother Earth herself, blades of greenery tickling his lips as he sang his dying whale song into the ground. "This is where I perish." 

    ...

    Despite how it often looks, dramatic millennial Bucky Barnes is not actually homeless. He's just really, really bad at flirting.

    Summary

    [Transcript 00:11:48]

    MS: You were with him the most throughout the course of events, both before and after. Your account could shed light on something we may have missed.

    JB: What difference will that make?

    MS: It could make all the difference. Captain Rogers’ case is unprecedented, he’s the most intact victim we’ve ever recovered-

    JB: [laughing] You call that intact?

    Summary

    Being told constantly as you grow up that you are a monster, that you are poison, does nothing to help self esteem. Steve Rogers was used to being told to live a lie, was used to hiding what he was so that people wouldn't be afraid of him. No one can be afraid of Captain America, even if its at Steve Rogers expense. No one really cares for Steve Rogers after all its all about the Shield, and he is so, so lonely.

    That is, until he meets Bucky Barnes. Can the self confident and charming kindergarten teacher bring some real happiness to a man who was sure he had lost everything? Bucky is determined to do his best, no matter how much the shy Captain seems to resist.
