Re: FIXED: Barfing Out Hurt (2/?) DAMN FORMATTING

OP: No matter how many fics I read where Bucky begs to be put down, it still hits me so hard in the feels every time.

"Hell a month of that would be enough to drive most people insane." Make that a few hours, Tony :( The human mind ... doesn't do very well under those conditions.

Bucky still calls it water! Ow, my heart.

Maybe it's been done before (but I haven't read a great deal of Tony content so I haven't seen it anywhere else) but I love the idea of Tony comparing Bucky's torture to his own and resenting him for not "holding out" like he did ... until he thinks a little harder about things. A lot of people like to just skip to the camaraderie that two people who survived similar horrors could have, but it's just as realistic for there to be bitterness and judgement when people try to weigh their experiences and reactions against each other's--and of course it's x1000 for these two.

That cliffhanger ... Oh my goodness. *rustles trash in nervous excitement*

This chapter almost felt like a respite after the last one, so I'm sure what comes next is going to be even more painful (in a good way).
