Re: CA:TWS

[blunderbuss]

Yeah, I get you about them being lovers before the war. Not only was their relationship a little unbalanced but I doubt that Bucky would have gone off to war so easily if they were in love.

Now, them having crushes without realising what it was, that I can buy.

As for switching personas, I did see one fic where he was actually diagnosed with DID and explained how it developed because of the trauma Bucky went through. That I can get. Just switching otherwise without that justification? Ker-nope.

Yeah, that's also a reason why I can't really buy it. And in fact I never had shipping thoughts before TWS, so I suppose it never got me even on an emotional level.

There are always wonderfully crafted stories that will justify everything and make me love it, and this is no exception. A reason why I don't like this happening is that I *adore* the Winter Soldier. I mean, it's not that he is a villain, it's just that they destroyed him and wiped him until he knew nothing anymore... and it makes me sad when they just 'replace' him with ol' good guy Bucky (even because in my head Bucky wasn't a 'nice guy' before either, he had been pretty fucked up).

Re: CA:TWS

[blunderbuss]

I agree. I'd much rather have TWS slowly start to learn to be human again and get in touch with what's left of 'Bucky' until the two merge together. After what he's been through he just CAN'T go back to being 'old Bucky'. He needs to forge a new persona for himself in a new world he can finally be a part of. THAT'S the goldmine.

Uh, speaking of which, if you know a good fic that covers that ...

h, speaking of which, if you know a good fic that covers that ...
You've just opened a big can of worms here. I think I have 7 pages of ao3 bookmarks... I think I only save the fics that deal with this theme in a decent manner.

Let me see if I recognize some titles straight away and I'll be back with some quick recs. :)

I now realised I need to go to bed or tomorrow I won't wake up at all. I promise to have some good rec by tomorrow night. :D

Re: CA:TWS

[philstar22]

I agree. The best fics are where they work on healing his BTSD and stuff but where Steve acknowledges that Bucky is not the same Bucky he used to know.

I like it when there were feelings pre-WS where Steve was conflicted and liking both Peggy and Bucky and maybe not realizing it. I can like it where they maybe acted on it a bit in secret in the army. That's just because I like the idea of Bucky having flashbacks to a relationship. But I don't want a modern-era type relationship pre-WS or anything that hurts the Peggy/Steve we got.

I have seen meta that based on Bucky's military ID number he was most likely drafted.

My heart. <3

In Cap 3 I desperately want them to give us more closure on their pre-war relationship. Not only because I WANT IT, but because seriously, we need more... I understand comics may have a lot more in them, but the movie was seriously lacking.
