You are reading all the wrong fic and/or not nearly a wide enough variety, because pretty much none of the S/B fic out there has Steve acting like Bucky is exactly the same. And the few where he *is* doing that, he get called out by several characters, including Bucky, and mends his ways.


In the movies...no. Just...no.

Honestly, I wish there were more fics of Steve being the one to get a bit of support from having to deal with Bucky recovering and Bucky's changes.

Most fics have Steve being super supportive all the time. And many of the ones that have him being called out are usually, "Stop your shit, you are being stupid." Instead of fics with Steve struggling to understand this new Bucky and needing his own therapy.

I just want more caregiver burnout fics.

[tabaqui]

YES!!
I really hate how a lot of fic/authors act like letting Steve have overwhelming emotions, not 'helping' perfectly, and having issues is basically just a plot-point for Natasha or Sam to make fun of him.

ESPECIALLY hate fic where Natasha is (as always) the 'terrifying' cypher that tries to make Steve feel stupid for having emotions.

ARGH.

[kaijinscendre]

I read one fic where Steve was struggling to deal with Bucky being different and cutting him out of his life. He was complaining about it to Natasha (his friend) and she slapped him and told him to get over it. I stopped reading that fic.

[tabaqui]

WOW.
Yeah. Fuck that.

Oh yes caregiver burnout is a thing.
