"And that darkness gets pretty enticing and it starts to feel a little bit like a...void"

Close Ups:

it is so simple to forget that steve awoke only to mourn. he tried to rid himself of his anguish and suffering by charging himself into the sea and yet it was futile, even tried to frame it as anything but a suicide, and yet, he awoke in the new world with the same old weight on his chest. no best friend, no remnants of the life they shared, nothing.

i think he starves himself as a form of coping, trying his hardest to shrink himself into the man that bucky knew, that bucky believed in. sickly and weak, short and frail. because he would give the serum back in a heartbeat in exchange for his best friend.

he faints a few times and feels satisfied cause it is an homage to bucky, i will suffer as you have suffered.

what if in those two years that he and sam search for bucky, they find him. sam knocking him out so he doesn’t hurt them further. and steve crawls over to his limp body and cradles him in his arms, pressing his forehead to his, his gunshot wound dribbling blood onto bucky. he looks at his boyish face and pushes back his greasy brown hair, notices how sunken his cheeks look, how pale his skin is, how light he feels in his arms. and he weeps. tears glowing under the moonlight as they slide down the warmth of bucky’s cheeks.

What if?: Werewolf! Bucky x merman! Steve

I tried to draw adult Steve and Bucky reconnecting as adults after not seeing eachother, aka Bucky trying to court a very shy Steve.

I really like that idea honestly, it’d be cute.

Though I made a few changes so that they’d be together just a little different from original human Bucky and mer!steve

I actually decided to write a little bit about it!
