    Summary

    The worst part about it is that it could have been avoided.

    John normally doesn’t think like that, can’t, because if he lingers on the what ifs then all of it comes crumbling down and there simply isn’t a point.

    But now he can’t help but wish Bucky had been paying more attention. That Ava had been able to phase sooner, that Alexei had stuck with the group or that maybe Yelena would have tagged along instead of staying with Bob at the Tower.

    Summary

    John never meant for Bucky to hear the truth he’d buried deepest, but on a battlefield soaked in pain and morphine, four quiet words break Bucky open—and bind him to the promise to make John finally believe he was wanted all along.

    Summary

    “…Olivia’s out of town,” Walker says, sounding uncomfortable. “Can I get drunk?”

    It sounds like he’s asking for Bucky’s permission to do so, which is weird beyond comprehension, but before Bucky can point out his choice of wording, Walker clarifies.

    “Like, am I able to? Is that even a thing anymore? Or does being a super soldier mean I’m condemned to some bitter life of sobriety now? Because that would suck.”

    “…Everclear,” Bucky says stiffly after yet a few more seconds of that same awkward silence. It’s starting to feel pretty unbearable. “Two or three bottles, maybe. As fast as you can comfortably drink it before your metabolism catches up.”

    “Okay, cool,” Walker says, and the line goes dead with a click.

    -

    It starts with John unexpectedly calling Bucky to ask for advice. For reasons that Bucky can't possibly fathom, he answers.
