    Summary

    "You give ground and you forget to resist, how to resist, or that you ever did in the first place. They don't need a thousand volts through your body to mold you into a good soldier." Like me, went unspoken but Steve heard it anyway. "It's harder to fight pleasure."

    "Obedience is a pleasure?" Steve asked dryly.

    The Soldier's expression stayed unreadable. "Sit," he said.

    Hydra tries to turn Steve Rogers into a dog. The Soldier tries to turn into Bucky Barnes.

    Summary

    The bottom line was that Bucky had two perfectly decent friends and he did not need anyone else ever.

    Definitely.

    Especially not the new kid.

    The really fucking hot new kid.

    Summary

    At least he’s focused on something else now, something other than the things running through his head on repeat. The doctors tell him flashbacks are normal. It’s not shell shock or postconcussion syndrome nowadays, but some acronym he hasn’t bothered learning because he’s sure they’ll ban that one in a few years too when too many soldiers come down with it.

    They gave him a lot of techniques for how to remind himself where he is, how to prove to himself that it’s the 21st century—like he could ever forget—and that he’s not in war anymore, but they don’t really help. He’s never lost in the violent images and memories. They just won’t fucking stop.
