It's also a strong contender for the dumbest thing Bucky's ever seen Steve do in a long, long lifetime of witnessing Steve do dumb things.
this line made me smile and then i immediately felt bad for smiling while reading this fic because the rest of it is just heartwrenching. i can't compliment your writing enough authornon. i was uncomfortable and intrigued at the same time and i like how you write steve and bucky very much. keep up the good work!
