Dear Mr. Bucky

Summary:

The Winter Soldier gets fanmail.

Notes:

While you don't need to read LaughsatThunder's fic, took my love, took it down to understand this story, it's well worth the read. This was inspired by the following interaction in that story:

“That stupid little bear got me through my mom’s death, and middle school, and highschool, and college. I was holding it when I made the decision about my dissertation topic. And you know what? I still have it in my room, on a shelf above my bed.”

Bucky is stunned, can’t think of what to say.

“So if you are asking why I wanted to help you, Bucky Barnes, it’s because you’ve been helping me my whole life. Even if you didn’t know it. When I realized who you were, I figured it was time I returned the favor.”

In a world where Bucky will inevitably hate himself for everything he's done over the past 70 years as the winter soldier, this work is a collection of letters I think Bucky Barnes needs to read.
