Rules in brief: don't be a jerk except to fictional characters, warnings for particularly fucked-up garbage are nice but not required, thou shalt not judge the trashiness of thy neighbor's kinks unless thy neighbor is trying to pass off their rotting banana peels and half-eaten pizza crusts as a healthy romantic dinner for two, off-topic comments may be chucked out of the dumpster at management's discretion, management's discretion decrees that omegaverse, soulbond AUs, D/s-verse, non-superpowered AUs, and dark!good guys AUs are off-topic.

Steve unintentionally harms Bucky's recovery

[(Anonymous)]

Bucky survived Hydra's torture, rapes and abuse, and he is psychologically broken by this experidnce. But then everything is fine, he is free and reunited with his best friend who desperately wants to be more than that. The problem is that this best friend, great Captain America, is bad for the process of Bucky's healing. Not intentionally, never, he is a good man and loving man, but he is so out of his depth with trauma and consequences of sexual abuse that he is actually harmful.

Any idea in what way, anon? Because there's many ways to be harmful. Is he in denial about the abuse? Or on the contrary, being over-protective like a helicopter parent? Or is the wanting more a problem?

I'll take anything, really, but honestly, I can imagine Steve being unintentionally insensitive to Bucky's trauma. He is from generation that had little idea about psychology and psychiatry and trauma. And he always was hard and demanding on himself, even when his body was weak, his spirit was strong, so he doesn't know what it's like when your mind and spirit betrays you. But that's just one of the ideas. It has to be unintentional though.
