Summary
War creates invisible scars that never go away
This story is part of a series but can be read by itself, it is self-contained.
This is the story of Bucky's experiences from 1943 to 1945, from the Battle of Azzano and Krausberg in 1943 to falling off the train in 1945.
This is a story about friendship, solidarity, brotherhood, secrets, betrayal and trauma.
Bucky went through a lot more in World War 2 than Steve ever knew about, this is the story of what happened. So much trauma, and angst. And blackmail and military homophobia. Please check the tags.
He never would have thought it possible for a person to be held hostage by their own brain, but that’s what it felt like now. Sheer force of will could only get you so far.
He felt a horrible sense of inevitability and impending doom that there was only one way out of the dreadful situation he had managed to get himself into.
And sometimes he felt such a deep desire and such a desperate longing to simply just not exist anymore.

“She got married two months ago, you don’t know her husband. And then Thomas, from school, he got married before he shipped out last month. Oh,” Steve said remembering, “Your friend Jack, you know from the club you boxed in,” he said.
Bucky’s head shot round.
“What about him?” he asked, doing his best to sound casual, but he felt his heart speed up in his chest.
“He got married,” Steve said. “Or he’s getting married. I can’t remember.”
Bucky made an incredulous noise. “What?” he asked, bemused.
“He turned up at your parent’s house saying he wanted to invite you to his wedding but it seemed you weren’t getting his letters. Of course you were in Krausberg but no-one knew that.” Steve then moved on to speak about some other people, completely oblivious to the chaos that his words had caused in Bucky’s head.
Bucky was no longer paying attention to the stories of people he had no interest in. His head was reeling as he tried to make sense of what he had just been told. He felt it couldn’t be possible. Jack was getting married? Or perhaps he had already got married. That can’t be right. And so soon after Bucky had left.
He thought back to the last day he and Jack had spent together – Jack had been talking about his parents who had reached out to him after the death of his brother. He had been excited at the possibility of mending bridges with them, emboldened by Bucky’s own recent reunification with his own family. Jack, like most men who liked men, had been cut off when his family had found out and he had been practically giddy by the prospect of being part of his parents’ lives again. Was that the price? Had they found Jack a nice, oblivious girl to get married to so they could pretend he was ‘normal’ and have a normal life? It had happened so quickly – Bucky had only left six months ago. He loved Jack; and thought Jack had loved him.
Bucky was suddenly very aware that Steve was still walking next to him, still talking, and Bucky hadn’t taken in a single word. He glanced nervously up at Steve and was relieved to see that Steve had not noticed his state of shock. He took a few quick breaths and looked away again. He had to act normal.
How do you act normal when your heart is shattering?

Summary
Even over the jeep's engine noise, Viktor heard Jayce’s stomach growl. He glanced over. “Hungry, Mr. Talis?”
Saying it had been a long time was a laughable, sad understatement. Jayce had played his fair share of sports in high school, lived in dorms throughout his years in university, and throughout his life had risked more than a few glances at plenty of the men he’d been attracted to—not like this though. None he’d ever seen mounting and straddling things, even on the lacrosse fields. There had been short shorts, yes. Never on a work site, never flashing hard, rosy nipples with no undershirt.
Viktor had faint scars from some sort of chest operation perhaps, one that Jayce would not ask him about because Jayce wasn’t rude and he was, surely, just hungry for food.
This was work, after all. His dream. He wasn’t some hopeless schoolboy, he was a physicist, damn it. Still up-and-coming, sure, but he’d made something of a name for himself for someone as important as Viktor to know who he was, that Heimerdinger had spoken highly of him and his work, had sent him here for work. With this man, and Jayce wasn’t going to screw it up all because Viktor just so happened to be the most attractive man he’d ever met.

Summary
It was rather normal for an SS officer to have at least one mistress besides the woman they married back home. Some mistresses were foreigners, others local Germans, but they always had unblemished Aryan looks and blood. At first, Michael didn’t want to take a mistress. He had wanted to stay true to his wife waiting for him back home in Cologne, the woman he regarded to be the love of his life. But then a ravishingly beautiful Nordic creature had appeared. They were almost nymph like, that was how beautiful the Omega was.

Summary
Bucky,
Go ahead and get yourself demoted for me, why don’t you? That way I won’t have to draw your crummy hat. I know you’d flip your lid on me for drawing your eyelashes so long, but lucky for me you’re out in the sticks getting shot at. Yahoo!
I just draw what I see buddy, and I happen to have an excellent memory. Don’t go shooting the messenger…Jokes aside, stay safe. Miss you lots.

Bookmark Notes:
Kind of like a reverse not easily conquered, bucky loses his arm before he is rescued and is sent back while steve "dies" and his unsent love letter get leaked. Unnecessary Peggy chapter plus didn't like the sam/Steve and nat/Steve. Bucky actually dies when Steve comes back from the ice but in the endgame time travel scenario he goes back to bucky in the past
