manifesting all of this but lariela

Something something, Bucky survived the fallout, survived the wasteland, his supersoldier serum protects him from turning into a ghoul.

But at least the new drugs have some effects, although not very strong. He ages, slowly, painfully slow. He finds family, they die. He gives up. Just another lone wolf, roaming the desert. Somehow not ready to end it all.

He meets you. Sweet thing, how can you be so soft and friendly and survive this hell? And you are the most capable mechanic he'd seen in ages. Good enough to fix his arm. Tony would have loved you. He wants to protect you.

But the thing is, you already have a scary dog watching over you. The Ghoul/Cooper is always near. Watching Bucky.
