Oh my gosh, thank you very much. This means a lot to me.
At first I decided this was going to be Sam/Bucky for variety's sake (and because once I thought of a dynamic for them I really wanted to write it), but once I started to think about the structure of the story it was clear that there was going to be Sam POV later on, and I was looking forward to it the whole time. I wanted to try and write Sam as someone who had a pretty high level of self-awareness but isn't infallible or anodyne, and also as someone who has obviously gone through mental health treatment and training without sounding like a walking, talking Psychology Today article. And I was also looking forward to putting him in a trash context because I love to make my faves suffer Sam is all of the above and he's still unprepared for this, because really, who the fuck could be?
Anyway, I am very glad you've enjoyed it and hope to have another update ready... sometime before the next geological epoch.
