"The Asset was suddenly entirely sure that the kid was like him. He couldn’t track down the origin of that thought, or the base of this feeling of similarity, but ultimately it didn’t matter. It was instinct like battle-readiness, like the anticipation of the next move of an opponent before his conscious brain could catch on."

***

"He didn't move for a moment, too surprised. This position was too sudden and too much - the closeness wouldn't have been a problem for him, Tony was used to his private space being invaded, but the fucking wing outstretched over him made it into a nest, caring and intimate. Tony was used to sudden closeness, had been in just enough parties with drunk university students, even if this environment wasn't where he would've expected something like that. What was truly shocking, though, was the lack of visceral reaction from him."

Summary:

"He had seen the grainy pics on the screen of a bruised and bloodied merman and had turned to Steve who had been there, god bless him. Steve had come immediately when Bucky needed him the most. Bucky had tried to lift his missing left arm, unsuccessfully, so he had pointed to the television with his right.

“If that merman survives, so will I,” he stated."

***

One and a half years after its discovery, the merman was transferred to the Monterey Aquarium in California and a whole exhibition was dedicated to its presence.

Bucky Barnes, secret empath, former soldier, and current marine biology student got a job as the janitor of the exhibition the same day.

This is my contribution for the Winteriron Reverse Big Bang!

The first non-linear fic from me.

Inspired by the lovely art of @quietscribbles which you can find here.

Many heartfelt thanks to my amazing helpers: @cpt-winniethepooh @lilianox7 @the-kitteh @cinnamon-anemone for the cheerreading and believing in me, brainstorming with me, listening to my whinings, suggesting cute nicknames, researching marine institues, etc.

The greatest huzzah and yay for Faustess, who betaed this piece for me with admirable enthusiasm and speed!
