for my love kirkspocks, who wanted sleepy steve/bucky

i immediately thought of this painting so have this, which i like to call “homage” but most people would probably call “blatant plagiarism and not even, like, good plagiarism”

the-steve-bucky-ship:

No matter how far Bucky runs, or how much progress he makes in rebuilding his life, he can’t shake the feeling that Hydra are following him and working to control him again.

I couldn’t stop myself – I just had to give him a pin with Steve’s wings for his jacket ;).

The moment that you realize Agent 13’s cover was not an accident. Stay classy, S.H.I.E.L.D.

As I mentioned here:

The question is, why was Sharon assigned to watch over Steve in the first place? Fury already had Steve’s apartment bugged; if anything happened, Fury would know about it even before Sharon called it in. Protection? If someone broke in and overpowered Captain freaking America himself, chances are Sharon on her own wouldn’t have been able to stop them either—could she have stopped the Winter Soldier if he’d gone for an up-close kill rather than sniping Fury from the opposite building? No way.

So if she’s not there to spy on Steve or to protect him, why? My guess is emotional manipulation. Here’s a guy from the 1940s thrown into the 21st century, in shock after the trauma of losing basically everyone and everything he ever knew, and on top of that he’s a war veteran showing symptoms of PTSD—and the world depends on him to save it from rogue gods and aliens and who knows what else. That’s not a man you’d dare leave to muddle through things on his own, but what can you do when he refuses to talk about it and declines every offer of help or therapy?

Solution: The nice girl next door. Someone his age (the age he considers himself to be), someone he can relate to, a nurse like his mother—she works in the infectious disease ward just like Sarah Rogers did, imagine that! Steve can’t help admiring her bravery and selflessness in caring for her patients, knowing what it cost his mother. She even reminds him of Peggy, the way she smiles. Just seeing her reminds Steve of why he keeps fighting, why he keeps going back to S.H.I.E.L.D.: to keep people like her safe.

And then it turns out it’s all a carefully crafted lie to give him a reason to get out of bed in the morning, put on his uniform, and do Fury’s dirty work. If I were Steve, I’d be pissed too.

but how much do i love that in the closing scene of ca:tws, steve is looking at the winter soldier’s file and there’s a faded photograph of bucky barnes in his army uniform, bright and reckless, before his horrific transformation

how much do i love that it’s a direct mirror image of the shot of peggy carter at the end of ca:tfa, where she is looking at captain america’s file and there’s a photograph of steve rogers in fatigues, determined and skinny, before his miraculous transformation —ladyspies
