Ohmygoddd this is SO GOOD. Weirdly enough I've never read any "initial training of Bucky" stories, so this is all becoming headcanon as I read. And what perfectly delicious trashy headcanon it is. :DD

I love how you write Bucky's reaction to the first-time rape: obviously horrified and ashamed, but also kind of steely and resigned (not outright panicked - at least until the reality of the funeral hits him... eeep!). It feels exactly right, especially considering what we know of his personality later on.

"Bucky wanted to bury his head into the crook of the one arm he still had left and disappear." :(((
