Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost 2020… That went by quick! Here selected are my favourite pieces of my work from over the past decade since I first started as ‘AKMA’.
Okay but you cannot convince me for one second that Clint doesn’t talk to Bucky about his own experiences being brainwashed.
“They’re going to tell you it’s not your fault,” he says one day, maybe in the training room, maybe over a cup of coffee. Bucky looks up, half-listening because he still doesn’t sleep very well and he and Barton haven’t exactly had reason to chat. “What you did when you were brainwashed. And it’s not, it’s not your fault, but somehow, people saying that doesn’t mean a goddamn thing. They weren’t there, they don’t know what it means to get ripped out of your head and see your body used to kill.”
Now he has Bucky’s attention, but Bucky just lifts his coffee cup to his lips and doesn’t make eye contact. “And you do?”
“You were under when Thor’s psycho little brother tried the whole ‘take over the world’ bit, but he used me to do it.” Clint’s voice shakes a little, even after all this time. “I know it wasn’t my fault, and so do you, but that doesn’t make it any easier to wash the blood off.” He swallows a sip of his coffee uncomfortably and stands. He’s said his piece.
“What does?” Bucky says before Clint can go two steps. “What helps?”
“You’ve got to find some kind of redemption,” Clint replies. “And someone to talk to.”
As the archer walks away, Bucky thinks that he may already have the latter.
I’m sorry and it’s been six years, I know I KNOW but it’s still funny to me that the entire plot of ca:tws was Steve going “hey I just met you and this is crazy but I will flirt with you by one-upping you in a morning run” and Sam being “okay cool, wanna visit me later?” and then Steve was basically going “hey I just met you and this is crazy but I need shelter from nazis trying to kill me” and Sam was just like “okay, how about you let me help you taking those nazis down” because he was actually as chaotic as steve was, and then in the following years they continued to show deep trust in each other and say fuck you to the gov together, and people are still downplaying their relationship.
