Oh nonnie, you are so sweet and I am so easy. Look out for some gratuitous cuddles in 7b, added just for you. <333
I love that you love that James is doing his own thing! :D I wanted to show him making a genuine effort to construct a real life for himself, despite the ~trash problems~ he has to deal with. So he picks a useful (nonviolent) job and learns how to do it, he goes to therapy, he loves small things inordinately just because he can, he tries to ask for help when he needs it.
I also love how his studies affect his thoughts and perception of things. It's just cool. This is incredibly nice of you to say. I've actually headcanoned Bucky as kind of a nerd ever since I saw this tumblr post ages ago (I have tried and failed to find it again for you) that was like, Why do people think Steve had to keep Bucky out of trouble? Steve was the one who wanted to fight everyone; Bucky was the one who went to science fairs for fun. ;)
Thank you so much for your kind words about the story. It makes me ridiculously happy to hear about the things that worked for you, and it helps me press on when I get stuck. I hope you like the next part!
