ok, ok so this is more than Bucky asking Steve to move in with him:

All you gotta do is shine my shoes, maybe take out the trash…

he’s asking Steve to move in with him rent-free. how much you want to bet Steve was going to art school at the time – so on top of having his mother die, he was going to have to quit school to support himself. And there’s Bucky saying you don’t have to do this alone, let me help with what I have…

#(also for the love of god somebody tell us what year this is supposed to be) (via legete)

hardboiledmeggs and I were discussing this, and she suggested mid-1930s, based on Bucky’s hair (slicked back) and attire. Can’t see it here, but he’s wearing a wide tie, and a (double-breasted?) suit with wide lapels, so I would guess around 1938, which is when the heavily padded shoulders and wide trousers came into vogue (in part due to the popularity of gangster films, which is what I thought of when I saw Bucky’s outfit). For reference, that makes Steve 19 and Bucky 20 when the scene takes places.

I’d just like to state my deep appreciation that someone dated this thanks to fashion history.  God bless fandom.

I hope you all have enjoyed reading!! Comments, feedback, and anything else you want to send my way is loved and cherished. I love to know what you think! I will reward you all with dancing animals gifs. ❤

And happy reading to all who have patiently waited for the fic to be complete before diving in. 🙂

In a fandom with many beautiful stories where the narrator or the information they hold as truth may be unreliable, this is something I think is unique and special. Brightwork just finished posting today, and it’s a story I’ve followed with interest since it began. notoska takes a fascinating ‘what if?’ premise and teases it out over twenty-two chapters as the characters travel around the world, tracking down the remnants of Hydra and finding tiny pieces of the puzzle. There’s a tension that runs through the whole story that’s equal to any conspiracy thriller, and the reveal, when it finally happens, is so small and subtle that you’d be forgiven for thinking it completely opaque unless you’ve got a very good memory for minutiae (or you do what I do, dig back into the story and find the answer) and realise its profound significance. It’s not a story for people who need everything wrapped up in a bow or are unsatisfied with open endings, but for those of you (like me) who love a story for the beauty of its construction, for those who love seeing characters struggle and don’t need to see them triumph, just survive, for those who like to see Steve, Bucky, Sam and Natasha questioning everything they know, then this story is for you.

Okay. It will never be completed. So… There is some fem!Bucky hmmm some kind of cosplay. I don’t know. But my friend Tanya and I think that she’s sooo Winter Soldier, cz she has the same hair, grumpy face and hasn’t a left arm (she was born without it), so we did it 😀
The riffle is a full Barret M82 replica. The shield and the arm are made by razvodnoi klyuch. Thanx to glukauf and fa11fox for help with the retouch.
And yeah, the last four pics are inspired by colnchen’s The Soldier’s Diaries *_*

Btw: the two first photos was made on the eve of the 9 May, the Victory Day in Moscow, and, you know, we was on the roof of this tall building that is situated near the Lomonosov Moscow State University, with this big riffle… We felt like true soviet assassins 😀

This is AWESOME
I absolute really really love all of you and that lovely dog! Thank you!!

One of the things that struck me about the scene in the bank vault in CA:TWS is just who is in the room. There are two people who I will consider doctors, one of whom  may be the “doctor in charge”.  There is at least one technician who deals with the Winter Soldier’s arm.  And then there are the guards. 

The Winter Soldier is just sitting there, getting his arm fixed when the memories of the time when he was Bucky Barnes, of the time when he was just becoming what he is now, comes bleeding through.  Up until that point, when he throws the technician across the room, he was behaving as they expected.   And yet, despite this, they still have maybe half a dozen guards with guns in the room who draw on him the moment he acts and stay drawn on him until Pierce comes in the room and waves them down.

How does the Winter Soldier interpret the presence of armed guards? What does this mean to him?  He certainly has enough tactical understanding to know that the very fact that the guards are there (even when the guns are not yet drawn) means that the men he serves do not trust him.  They are telling him, he is dangerous, even to them.
