    Summary

    When Bucky fell from that train, when he slipped through Steve’s fingers, it had felt like the end of the world, a cataclysm whose blast radius was limited to one Steven Grant Rogers. Everyone else, he’d thought, could survive it, even if it hurt them. Steve could not. Steve had not, even if that had proven to be a temporary state of affairs.

    Now, Steve’s world doesn’t feel like it’s ending. It feels like it’s beginning again: a violent transformation, a terrible rebirth. It roars through him, hope and horror in equal measure, drowning everything else out.

    After the Avengers find a frozen Bucky in an abandoned HYDRA base in Siberia, Steve thinks that everything will be okay now that he has Bucky back, now that he's safe and alive and healing, now that they're together again. But Bucky's road to recovery is long, and Steve and Bucky have fundamentally different ideas about what it means to come home from the war seventy years later than they'd expected to. Those different ideas might even be irreconcilable. Even if Steve has found Bucky, he's going to have to reckon with the ways he's lost himself along the way, or risk losing Bucky forever.

    Summary

    The last thing Steve sees before he feels himself slip away is Bucky’s eyes.

    Stunning blue-grey and filled with tears. Impossibly wide, like a deer's in headlights.

    There is something there.

    --

    A rewrite of the helicarrier fight scene from CA:TWS and what could have happened if Bucky hadn't left Steve by the river.

    Update: As of now, I think I'm going to discontinue this story. Sadly, I just don't think I have the motivation to add to the plotline; I'm very sorry to anyone who was looking forward to more :( But I want to post other things here, maybe one shots and things like that, so I'm not disappearing, dw!

    Summary

    “Mr Banner has asked that you, to quote him directly, ‘... not freak out.’ regarding the following information.”

    Steve paused his drawing, flicking his eyes up to the walls with a puzzled expression.

    “I have been instructed to inform you that The Avengers have successfully located and captured The Winter Soldier, otherwise known as Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes.”

    All the air in Steve’s lungs was drained in an instant.

    “Bucky?!” He whispered, his voice trembling.

    “Affirmative.”
