Hey guys!
Can I humbly submit a lil’ self rec? I just posted my very first fic and I’m really proud of it!!
It’s called Home Is Where the Heart Is (And Where You Get to be Yourself). It’s a sort of introspective recovery fic from Bucky’s POV, placed in Wakanda an inspired by Seb’s beautiful and heartbreaking scene in TFATWS episode 3. It features protective Steve, angst, fluff and forehead kisses!
Here is a link to it:

““You are free.”
The words register clearly enough, but it’s like the emotional reaction that should be happening, haven’t gotten the memo yet, like there is some sort of wall between his thoughts and and his body.
Or maybe it’s just that it all seems a bit anticlimactic. They’ve been working towards this for months. Having the culmination of all that work be that nothing is happening might fit the success criteria for the whole operation, but yeah.
Anticlimactic describes it pretty well.
He will never be the old Bucky again.
But at least he is himself.
As the realization of what that means begins to take over, a trivial fact arises and slowly but surely fills up his body, replacing the numb feeling bit by bit:
Every small action he makes will be his own from now on.”
Or: Bucky is rid of Hydras programming. He need a bit of time (and Steve) to process it.
Inspired by Sebastian Stan’s phenomenal and heartbreaking performance in episode 3 of TFATWS.
