    Summary

    The garland strung along the upper railings tells him where he is (the fucking Kursk base), who is working on him (fucking HYDRA), what they’re putting him through (so fucking cold), and what’s expected of him (…he tends to draw a blank here; there’s only so much garland can help with).

    The birds are the most interesting of the objects tucked into the greenery. They shine and glitter in the flickering, buzzing fluorescent lights, and sometimes say hello. Not at all like real birds, though he can’t recall when he last had an opportunity to stare incessantly at any actual, non-garland-haunting birds.

    He may be going a little stir-crazy.

    (Or: *cracks egg into skillet* And this is the Winter Soldier’s mind with absolutely nothing to occupy his thoughts but some bird-themed Christmas decorations along the upper railings. Naturally, everything is horrible.)
