Summary
It’s the eyes that bring it back. Gray like every overcast day of Steve’s youth, like the moral compass he carried back then. Like the pavement he can still feel grating at the skin of his knees when he’s lying awake at night thinking of anything but that, anything but him.
Memory tangles in a tight-bound knot of busted knuckles and broken windows, and sweltering nights of not-supposed-to. Steve’s first glimpse of heaven, and his first taste of sin all at once, all wrapped up in that stare, in those hands, that mouth.
It’s been five years, but that face hasn’t changed.
James—Bucky—still looks like every bad decision Steve ever made, and never quite figured out how to regret.
--
In which priest-in-training Steve takes up a placement as a prison chaplain, and finds himself confronted with a sinful piece of his past that he still can't bring himself to repent for.
