    Summary

    Bucky’s crying before he’s off the boat and he’s the least surprised out of anyone to realize it.

    He’s always been a softie, a leaky faucet, and the war hasn’t changed that, so he doesn’t know why the sob that smacks him startles him bad enough that he grips the strap of his bag doubly hard, ready to swing it around like a battering ram, ready to find that cloying, invisible enemy. He’s not being ambushed, on his belly in the muck and camellias, cypress hanging low, moonlight casting an eerie smile upon Lake Como like it’s enjoying the hell out of muffled gunshots and the wet grunt of lifeblood spattering onto the undergrowth. He’s not trucking through a river that sucks at his boots like quicksand kisses, gun raised and one eye squinted shut to peek through the scope. He’s not under the street in Liverpool clutching his own hand to hide the shake, catching Peggy’s eye across the deep dank dark like she’d have anything solid to give him besides that wan shrug.

    That’s done. He’s safe.

    He’s just a weenie.

    Summary

    “All memories to tell you the truth aren’t good.
    But sometimes there were good times.
    Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep
    beside me and never dreamed afraid.

    There should be stars for great wars
    like ours. There ought to be awards
    and plenty of champagne for the survivors.”
    - Sandra Cisneros

    Or, it takes them decades.

    Summary

    “Captain America is haunting me,” Bucky says over a bowl of ramen.

    His pronouncement is met with a round of silence.

    “Captain America,” Natasha says. “As in--”

    “The first Avenger,” Bucky confirms. “Supersoldier and hero of World War II. The fabric of the American conscience.”

    “But he’s--dead,” Sam says. His look of perplexed concern, ever perplexed and ever concerned, only increases. “You’re aware of that, right?”

    “I know,” Bucky says. “That’s why I said he’s haunting me.”
