Summary
He is useful. He holds onto that. He is useful and a useful tool will not be thrown away. (For illumynare's request: How about something with Bucky realizing the Avengers actually think of him as a person? And off I went to the utterly shameless h/c place.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Bucky gets his groove back, unaccountably.
"They like me!" Bucky snarls at him. "They all like me!"I'm a "doctor" too and nobody should let me practice medicine. I've often wondered how Bruce gets away with it:
"It's just me," Banner says, doing something mysterious to his IV. .... "Don't worry, I'm a doctor."
"So's Stark, I think, but I don't want him anywhere near my insides," Bucky whispers, and Banner grins.
"I'm both kinds of doctor. Well, effectively." ....
"Effectively?"
"I can't legally practice medicine, but I do know what I'm doing."
"I'm going to stop asking questions now," Bucky says. "The answers just make things worse." -

Bookmarker's Notes
Such good medical writing! Reminiscent of the best of Berton Roueche's medical mysteries: clear and easy to follow without being simplistic, and also increasingly suspenseful and involving.
Linguistics: hypercorrection of cases.
Ch. 5: The touch lingers on his own palm, an acute awareness of the connection between he and John.
Ch. 5: The nurse nods at Sherlock, then explains to both he and John that he'll brush his teeth, suction the airway, and then they'd ask Sherlock to step out for a few minutes.
Ch. 7: " but if you need me again, I'm available for you, just leave a message with whomever is on."Ch. 8: Use of 'nonplussed' to mean "unfazed" rather than "speechless, baffled."

A sweet series. Interesting evolution of Clint/Coulson, interrupted by Loki.
