Left Behind

Author's Summary:

Bucky has loved Steve for a long time. After Endgame, Steve leaves anyway.

My Summary:

A heartbreaking short fic about internalized homophobia, angst, grief and mourning, incorporating some of the powerful poetic imagery of Crush by Richard Siken.

Excerpt:

An old man comes in Steve’s place and Bucky can hardly stand to look at him. He slides onto the bench and stares out at the lake, at the steam rising off the water into the chill air. 

“You’re angry,” Steve says. 

“Tell me you were happy,” Bucky says. 

“I love you,” Steve says. 

But if he does, it’s not in any way that Bucky can understand. 

“Just tell me you were happy. Because I can’t blame you for wanting that. But if you were miserable I think I’ll hate you forever.” 

“I was happy,” Steve says. 

Bucky tries to feel grateful, but he’s having a hard time with that.

Rocket Man

What are those red, white, and blue popsicles called?

Rocket pops, bomb pops, firecrackers, red, white and blue popsicles... whatever you call them, they must remind you of summer as a kid, right?

The original rocket-shaped but confusingly-named Bomb Pop was first invented in 1955 by . . . . The iconic red, white and blue stack was flavored cherry, lime and blue raspberry.

The frozen confections are still made today in La Mars, Iowa.

Val, you put a serum into someone like Steve Rogers, he becomes Captain America, but you do it to someone this unstable, I mean, who knows what it did to him?
