Bucky in a High Security Psychiatric Facility after CAWS

Set right after Captain America: Winter Soldier, Bucky has been captured and is being held at a max security institution to care for him

“Your friend? They carved him out, systematically over and over and over for over sixty years. They did everything they could to ensure that the young man you knew was exterminated and only the code they programmed was left. I know you see the kid you grew up with in Brooklyn but he’s probably all gone.”

Steve kept his gaze forward on the window they were in front of rather than meet the focus of the military doctor speaking to him, “The world’s longest serving POW,” he hollowly echoed the news report he had heard that morning.

“Right, all that time you were in the ice, he was being tortured. Sixty years of consecutive captivity. I know this is harsh but I’ve gotta prep you for what you wanna walk into.”

“Thanks doc, I appreciate it. I still gotta talk to him. Nothing going stop me from doing that.” 

The doctor held his hands up appeasingly, “Sure, I won’t stop you, just you heard it from me, don’t be surprised if your friend isn’t there. The strongest man wouldn’t be expected to survive what he did. I may be overstepping but I think it’d be a mercy if the James you knew died a long time ago, at least he wouldn’t have had to live through it.”

Steve nodded, he knew the doctor was right about one thing, it would be merciful if Buck died when he fell down that ravine in Europe. But he was selfish and terrible and he saw that spark. Buck was still there.

They said he’d be sedated. He wondered how they had come up with a sedative strong enough for a super soldier. With a shiver he wondered if they had developed it for him, had it on hand in case Steve ever became a problem. Knowing SHIELD, he didn’t want to think about it much further.

Buck was in a room entirely made of steel. But it had been painted white to disguise the cold metal, at least to the eye. He knew that was so they could shock him if need be. It didn't look good to outfit their patients in shock collars after all, this was a good work around.

Again, he wondered how long they had had all of this technology ready.

Buck was curled in the corner. No bed, no blanket, no mat. They had cut his hair short, buzzed to a quarter inch, He didn’t expect this, even in its odd institutional style it caught his breath. Bucky already looked more and less like himself.

“Buck-” The door closed behind him. Bucky didn’t stir. Maybe he was too sedated.

“Bucky-” He stepped a little closer and to his half surprise he saw the patient’s eyelids flicker open suddenly. But controlled, the rest of his body remained completely still.

“Uh- it’s me Buck, it’s Steve…” Bucky remained where he was a moment before he judged it was safe to move and he clumsily attempted to shift himself upright. He watched Steve with empty eyes all the while.

“I’m sorry they have you here-” For most, there would be no signs of fear to detect from the Winter Soldier. But Steve saw a trapped animal just shy of quivering in fear. Steve backed up again so he was against the wall to give him more space.

The Winter Soldier lowered his eyes then. He was wearing a hospital gown, Steve could see someone had tied the bows in the back. Must have been knocked out then, he thought to himself. No nurse would ever get that close to him while awake.

Was that how it went? Any care he needed administered while he was out only to wake up in different places, in different conditions, with signs of all that he had missed. It made Steve feel sick.

Then it made him feel sicker when he realized that was the reality of the Winter Soldier’s last 60+ years in and out of cryo freeze.

“You don’t always have to stay here- this doesn’t have to be permanent.”

Silence.

“Do you remember me?” His heart leapt out of his chest suddenly and it spilled out. He had meant to be gentler. This was one of the millions of reasons girls hadn’t wanted to date him in 1941 besides his stature, he had no subtlety.

Buck- The Winter Soldier looked back up at him, gazing at him for a moment before flickering his eyes back down and shaking his head.

“You’re lying. You pulled me from the river.”

He shook his head again, smaller this time. He seemed very unhappy.

“You saved me Buck. They told me you’re gone. But you’re my friend. You’re not gone. I know you’re not.”

Buck started shaking his head again now over and over and now he really did begin to tremble.

Someone knocked on the window behind Steve. In an instant the door was opening for him to exit.

“He get’s like this- they think it’s its his programming- he like- he shuts down-”

Men in special uniforms filled the space Steve had just taken. One of them had a syringe.

Steve had to look away.

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

Made some little guys to say that I posted a new chapter for botw era calamity au

The fact there's like 5 posts about Saladin Ahmeds Wolverine issue 1 but a boatload of posts related to that fuckass movie is CRIMINAL!

Like c'mon people, there's a big focus on Logurt, they hug and Logan patches him up and worries for him, Logan runs around naked for like half the issue, even next to Kurt. There's angst and comfort and them working together and it's so sweet.

Not to mention LOOK AT HIMMMM! He's so wide and hairy and wild!

LOOK HOW SHORT HE IS! THAT'S MY GUYYY!

Small but significant character moments that I actually really adore are from both the times we see the boys as tots. There is a reoccurrence that happens in both of them that I find so incredibly interesting.

For the turtle tot short, Splinter leaves the boys with weapons. In the short, Raph is the one who suggests they do “what Lou Jitsu would do” and Leo is the one who takes point when Splinter comes back to reprimand them. Leo, in taking point, is the one to defend them and get Splinter off their tails.

And then, in the flashback regarding the Kuroi Yōroi helmet, Raph is the one who grabs and throws “Skully” as a way to replace their missing ball which breaks it into pieces, but Leo is the one who speaks for the group and rushes into action to fix the teapot.

I love this for multiple reasons, but the biggest are how it shows that Raph has always been inclined toward the bold and fun and making the plans to include his brothers in what he loves and believes they’d love, whereas Leo has always been inclined to be the “Face” of the group and shoulder the attention even if it’s potentially negative all while coming up with on the spot attempts to fix the situation.

i've just finished my s7 rewatch and it's kinda so funny to me how much discourse people created over every bucktommy interaction when their whole arc boils down to tommy being patient and vulnerable with buck and showing up for him. like when you are not wearing shipper goggles under the name of "analysis" and don't try to reverse-engineer every word and look and shot with utmost bad faith, that's what it is. a simple and sweet story of a new exciting relationship with a guy who's understanding and willing to show up. literally the two things buck needs from a relationship but never had with his previous love interests. they are kinda sickeningly sweet and well-communicating actually lol

with little to do and an even lesser desire to interact with most people, you sit beside Foul Legacy and write.

he and Childe think it'll be good for you, a way to detail all that you've been through, all that you suffered. Legacy ventures out into the world when he's sure you're warmly tucked beneath the blankets, seeking out paper and notebooks and pens to purchase and bring you. the nice ones, too- he's a Harbinger, he can afford to get you fine parchment and ink, little presents to make you happy. it's his way of making up for how the world has treated you, even though he can never undo your scars and wounds.

the ink is the same deep gold of the mended cracks on your skin. Legacy nudges the glass jar gently into your hands, purring when you slowly smile. you dip the pen, smoothing out the new paper and relishing how the nib glides over the smooth, rich surface- before, you never even guessed a sheet of paper could be a work of art. slowly the words form, gleaming as your scars do, an Abyssal monster by your side and watching, watching happily as the stories of the Creator are finally recorded.

tennis/fencing player yuuta what if i kms he wouldnt be getting any practice done if i was around

so real…. whenever tennis is involved, it has his attention, almost completely undivided. so even though you’re flirting with him, and keep pretending to flip your skirt up, and keep pouting, the only thing on his mind on the court is helping you LOLLL he’s in coach mode fr and it’s cute because even when you’re whining, “yuutaaaaa it’s hard when they’re coming this fast! why don’t you come show me again how you do it,” in such an obvious attempt to get him close to you, but yuuta just shakes his head from across the court and tells you, “i’m sorry, i’ll go easier. you can do it, honey, i believe in you.” he’s so genuine—you’re trying to get in his pants, and here he is putting his full faith in you :((

it doesn’t stop you, though. momentarily, maybe, he tugs on your heart strings, so put some actual effort into practicing, but there’s always a tipping point when the court is littered with loose tennis balls, and you’re frustrated because this is way harder than it looks and because yuuta looks way too good in his practice clothes, and it doesn’t help that he finds any excuse to praise you, no matter how small your progress might be, and now it’s getting hotter outside and he’s sweating a little bit and you need this to be over now, but yuuta’s already going on about whatever exercise you two can try next. you need to take matters into your own hands, because clearly your flirting isn’t getting you what you want from this far, so you sigh, and skip your way over to half-court, reach over the net, and pull him by his collar for a kiss.

you can literally hear him squeak and then get himself together, put a hand on your waist and kiss you back. he’s red in the face now, and it’s not from practice, and you always find it endearing that no matter how long you’ve been together, yuuta hardly ever seems to know when you’re coming on to him; and when you he does get it, he’s still as flustered as when you first met. you find his blush so cute, you have to kiss him again, and again, and again until he’s pulling back, and stuttering, “okay, okay—we just, let me pick up the balls real quick—” to which you groan and grab him by the collar again, arching your foot to step on a rolling ball, squishing it with more force than necessary, and warning him, “that will be you if we don’t go now,” which makes him squeak in a completely different way, nervously nodding his head, “r-right, yeah, okay—i’m sorry, come on let’s—” he pauses to jumping over the net to your side, bends down to secure one arm under your knees and lift you up bridal style, “we can clean up later.”
