(OP) well here I am hijacking my own prompt BUT I keep imagining Bucky Cap getting raped and honestly it is the greatest. There's many advantages to both possibilities, it being old-style Hydra baddies or first-time Bucky abusers, but imagine if either way they knew Steve? The things they could say to Bucky! Rogers was a self-righteous prick with a stick up his ass, but you had to respect the guy. Had a kind of purity about him. Not like you. Picture all the things they could do to make Bucky feel ashamed he ever dreamed he wasn't too ruined, hadn't already been brought too low to carry on Steve's legacy.

And afterward, Bucky's glad Steve never had to know this about him, but at the same time he misses him more than he would have thought possible. Orrr maybe Steve did know about Bucky's trash past, but he was the only one Bucky ever opened up to about it, and so Bucky's in crisis and his support system is DEAD and his trauma gets tangled up with his grief and he doesn't know how to cope. This is the exact situation he needs Steve for, and Steve isn't here. Even if it's just videos being released, it would still be enough to send Bucky into a tailspin and make him NEED the only person he ever felt he could divulge his trash problems to; you know, the guy he watched them bury six months ago.

Meanwhile people are calling him a slut and screaming for him to resign. The next civilian he saves spits on him.
