    Summary

    Sublimation

    1. Passing from one phase to another without transitioning through an intermediate phase.
    2. Where socially unacceptable impulses or idealizations are consciously transformed into socially acceptable actions or behavior, possibly resulting in a long-term conversion of the initial impulse.

    Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews should probably have figured out the first time what this type of behavior meant.

    Summary

    It starts in Paris.

     

    “You can’t steal things just because you like them,” Sam tells Bucky, feeling innately that this is a losing battle, and Bucky cocks his head to the side, considers Sam very thoughtfully.

    “Really,” he says. “I’m stealing you, aren’t I?”

    Summary

    Sam's just chilling watching TV one evening when Bucky comes in and stares at him silently for a minute or two before sitting down on the couch. He's pretty close to Sam.

    Okay, he's really close to Sam. Like, Sam would be using the word 'cuddling' if it wasn't so bizarre.

    "What," he says, carefully not looking at Bucky, and Bucky huffs a sigh.

    "Steve's not here," he says as if it's obvious. "Don't make it weird. Just- shut up."

    Summary

    When Bucky's libido shows back up, it's basically proof that his life is cursed.

    Like, obviously, hooray that his dick works again, it's been a long fuckin’ road (and a long road of no fucking, his brain helpfully adds) but—Jesus, fuck, Hydra really are just dedicated to making his life a misery in every possible way, even years down the track, because it turns out there's some operant conditioning Bucky did not know about until now.

    Specifically: he can't fuckin’ come unless someone's giving him the order.
