    Summary

    When Bucky was young, no more than fourteen and already head over heels in love with Steve fucking Rogers, Winnifred Barnes took a long, hard look at a picture Bucky taped to his wall, one of him and Steve at Coney Island, and said, “Be careful with that boy.”

    She didn’t elaborate then or ever, but Bucky has had plenty of time to learn – over and over and over – what she meant.

    It’s not that Steve’s a bad guy. But it’s a hell of a thing, being caught in his orbit.

     

    -
    The last thing Bucky expects is to run into the former love of his life at one of Tony's parties. Fifteen years of alienation shouldn’t give way so easily to strange, electric familiarity, but the two of them have always operated on a frequency of their own.

    It doesn't take Bucky long to realize that the universe should have continued to keep him away from Steve, but it's too late by then.
