    Summary

    Seems like closure, Sam accepting the shield and Bucky making amends. Maybe it is, but some things are only just beginning and others are far from closed.

    Summary

    Humans like to believe in luck. Sam wonders if it’s just that. Some people get better stories than others. All Sam has to do is look at the possible paths and try his best to push someone through the best variation of it. Repeat, repeat, repeat until he chooses wrong or they die from something he can’t account for, like illness.

    Sam has been assigned Bucky's long-term guardian angel. When a lackluster near death experience pushes Sam to present himself to Bucky, some things become simpler and other things become complicated. For the "Bodyguard AU" prompt on the Winterfalcon Bingo Board.

    Summary

    “You’re gonna 40’s talk me outta this funk Barnes?”

    And if it wasn’t for the decades Hydra spent torturing him into controlling his emotions, Bucky might’ve let his surprise at Sam’s casual admission of his feelings show on his face. Because Sam, for all of his lighthearted posturing and easygoing banter, has a difficult time sharing his feelings with anyone: his need to always keep his head above water, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going being simultaneously one of his greatest and worst attributes.

    In the year that he’s spent being Sam’s partner, Bucky’s learned that Sam’s habitual smile and inherent need to help others is sometimes a defense mechanism he uses when he’s either unable or unwilling to turn any of his sharpened psycho analytical skills inward. That underneath that amazing smile and those pretty warm eyes, there’s sometimes a world of hurt that Sam is trying desperately to ignore.
