Bucky Barnes and the Terrible Horrible No Good... Oops That’s Stealing but You Get the Idea

Fic Summary:

Bucky's had a bad day. A really terrible horrible day and he doesn't wanna talk about it and he's set on hating the world forever and never being happy again. Until his husband comes home. And then everything changes.

Rating: Mature 

Warning: N/ALength:  2.1k complete

Sample: “I’m home!” Steve calls out. Cheerfully. God why does that asshole have to always be so optimistic. “Babe? You here?”

“I’m in here,” Bucky mumbles with his cheek still pressed up against the mattress.

“Bucky?”

“Here!” This time, Bucky shouts it and lifts his head up to do so. There’s probably an edge to his voice, too. One that Steve hardly deserves, but it’s still there.

“Oh, hey.” Steve chuckles when he comes into the room. “What’re you doing?”

“Contemplating everything I’ve ever done.”

“Cool. Sounds fun. Mind if I join you?”

“Yes.”

But Steve sits down on the bed in an empty space next to him anyway as if Bucky hasn’t said a grumpy thing at all. He even pushes some hair away from his forehead and places the back of his hand on his brow.

“You feelin’ okay?”

“M’fine,” Bucky grumbles. “Go away.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

“Why not?”

“Because.”

Bucky huffs and, with Steve’s hand still keeping his hair out of the way for him, flicks his eyes up.

*cwtches*

Oh no! If you have a hard time settling down, try taking a warm bath and putting an ice pack on your neck. I do that for migraines but it helps clear my mind when I get anxious too. I hope you feel better!

I’m so sorry, hun. :( I’m sending thoughts and prayers and cyber hugs your way. If I can do anything (distract you through messages, listen while you just talk it out in my inbox, etc) that you think might help, let me know!

thank you, guys.  I'm actually feeling a little bit better already. Just reading shanology fic was a nice focusing distraction (not to mention just plain awesome omg i can't wait for more)

I got into Marvel when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. My grammar school had a magazine section in the library and in there I stumbled upon some X-Men comics—I instantly loved Jubilee—and then happened to start watching X-Men (the cartoon) one Saturday afternoon. I then found the Avengers in the library as well and that was it. The collection was not complete and were totally out of order, but I didn’t care. All I wanted was more and more of Captain America

See, I had/have a stutter and really bad anxiety (which wasn’t being diagnosed the way it is today so it was all brushed off as ‘oh she’s just shy’ and ‘she’ll come out of her shell’, yeah thanks) so I was picked on, teased, and pretty much bullied starting at a very young age. So, can you imagine 8 or 9 year old me coming up on Steve fucking Rogers? The man who pretty much invented [in fiction] the idea of standing up to bullies? Yeah he was my hero and remains my favorite to this day.

Unfortunately, I was also made fun of for even liking them at all cause “those are boy things” *eyeroll* and eventually the library got rid of all the comics. There was no internet at the time *le gasp* and it never occurred to me to ask my parents so I was cut off from it all until a few years ago.

As far as my favorite, I guess you could say that Bucky Barnes is my favorite character and Captain America is my favorite superhero. 

I’m not gonna lie, I’m still in awe of Ed Brubaker’s decision to bring Bucky back and do what he did with the character. Talk about brilliant story telling. I remember sitting at my computer (cause the internet was around by that point!!) and reading it and practically screaming. My husband and I were just married and he was like “what the hell is going on?” (He’s not as into it as I am), but I just went on gushing about it, and being the great guy he is, he just sat and listened and still decided it was a good idea to be married to me lol. Really, I think it’s one of the best story arcs ever told. 

And now with what MCU has done…I just can’t get a grip.
