My favourite stucky moment ever is in civil war and tony blasts Steve and Steve is down for the count so bucky of course goes after tony and then tony shoots his arm off and Steve, who was collapsed is like HELL NO NOT MY BOYFRIEND and goes feral ! And then when tony gets the upper hand again bucky, who is basically unconscious on the floor lightly grabs Tony’s ankle like HELL NO NOT MY BOYFRIEND it was so sweet

Also tony I still love you and feel your pain but I’m living for stucky

Anyways thanks for letting me ramble stucky nonsense ❤️

I don’t mind you popping by my inbox to share your stucky thoughts! It’s certainly not nonsense or at all bothersome. I’m enjoying going down memory lane and revisiting the highlight reel. I’m in the midst of an MCU rewatch, so very it’s aptly timed.

I love the fight scene at the end of Captain America: Civil War. Not only is it an explosion of the emotional tension built up between Steve and Tony but it’s also a great showcase of Steve and Bucky’s raw fighting styles. We get to see just how in sync they are. It’s as beautiful as choreographed dance, watching Steve and Bucky wail on Tony with such strength and grace in all of the hand to hand combat.

Both of the boys are beyond fed up with Tony’s bullshit by this point, trying to defend not only themselves but each other against Tony’s senseless wrath. Bucky gives no fucks when Tony knocks out Steve. All of his Winter Soldier skills coming in very handy to fight back and defend his love.

This close up so fucking intense, it somehow manages to convey how determined Bucky is to stop Tony at all costs while showing that he’s willing to suffer anything to do it. He’s been through the most sadistic torture and yet it couldn’t possibly compare how much it would hurt if anything were to happen to Steve. 😣

Then when the roles are reversed and Bucky is down, Steve goes absolutely berserk.

“DON’T TOUCH MY BOYFRIEND!” May as well have been actual dialogue in the scene. Of course they opted to use this “less straight” iteration but we see right through it.

Ultimately Steve’s perseverance overpowers Tony, knowing that there are no words that are enough to make him stop. Both Tony and Steve are acting out of pure selfish instinct, and there are certainly arguments to be made for each of them. But Steve knows that Tony is blinded by rage and is incapable of stopping until he kills Bucky, which leaves him no choice but to stop Tony himself.

As great as it is to watch Steve and Bucky fight for one another, to me the sweetest part is how ultimately Steve gives up everything he knows in modern day; the avengers, the mantle, the shield, to save the most important person he has from his past.
