“Because I’m me,” says Steve, his voice reedy and hurt. “Because you’re you. I’d be killing myself. How do you not know that? All this time, how do you not—?” He swallows hard, but his throat closes up anyway. He confesses, “I died too. When you left me. I died too.”

File this under “this is gonna hurt, but I’ll probably read it anyway”
I won’t lie, this fic hurts more than you’ll ever see coming, it will rip you apart and leave you with a whole new appreciation for Stucky. It’s worth all the pain though, best thing I’ve ever read hands down and I won’t ever stop recommending this one.
hey so it’s cool if you don’t ship stucky but just remember that hydra brainwashed Bucky Barnes for 70 years and they were never able to make him forget Steve Rogers so
he pulled a fuckin helicopter out of the sky with his bare hands for this man and people think they’re still just pals™️??? what is this heteronormative world we live in
steve’s going to b a drama queen and like be bleeding out while bucky holds onto him & he’s like ‘i think it’s the end of the line, buck…’ & bucky is just like ‘it’s the end of the line when i say it’s the end of the line asshole’
afterwards it eventually becomes an inside joke and one day when steve gets a paper cut he manages to say “it’s the end of the-“ before bucky shoves him out a window
