Together at the end

Rating: G

Tags/Warnings: Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, major character death

Wants: I just want they can be together til the end of the line.

DNWs: What happened after Endgame

Summary: 

Bucky Barnes – a WW2 veteran just had a weird dream that he became an assassin under a maniac Nazi’s organization and Steve was there... It was so real, but glad that it was just a dream. Now, he can go back to his family and…his Steve.

Thanks to the wonderful mods of Bucky Barnes Events  @buckybarnesevents and the Shrinkyclinks Double Fest 2023. I'm so happy to have claimed this amazing art from @dwarvishgeorge. It's been an honor and privilege to work with you again, and your art is gorgeous.

-”You’re my friend…”

-”You’re my mission!” – the Winter Soldier looked violently at Captain America, punched him as hard as he could. 

-”Then …finished it…Cuz I’m with you…til the end of the line…” – Captain America looked straight at the Winter Soldier, which confused the assassin so much. ‘How can this man want to be killed. He could have beated him, but why?

Then, the Helicarrier collapsed. Captain America fell into the river. 

‘Cuz I’m with you til the end of line, pal’

‘Why does it sound so familiar? Has he heard it before?’ – Winter Soldier thinks.

‘Thank you Buck, I can be on my own now’

‘Don’t do anything stupid til I come back’

‘How can I? You take all the stupid with you.’

“Steve?”

-” Sergeant Barnes? Are you okay?”

Bucky Barnes woke up. He looked around, they were his warbounds, looking at him worriedly. 

-”Look like you just have seen a devil” – one soldier said. 

-”I guess it was a really bad nightmare.” – said Bucky. He calmed everyone that he was fine, but only he knew that he wasn’t. Everything he saw was so real. Himself as an assassin tortured by Nazis, a metal arm, and big strong Steve that tried to stop him but his crazy mind keep hurting Steve. That was definitely a nightmare – he thought. Although he always wanted Steve to be healthy, but a giant Steve like that…it’s impossible for his condition. And he would NEVER EVER hurt Steve, even never think about it. So maybe it was just a bad dream that showed him everything he never wanted to see. That’s all!

‘Kiss me once, then kiss me twice

Then kiss me once again

It's been a long, long time’

After nearly four years, the war was finally over. Bucky and his peers can finally go home. The ship finally stopped at New York habour. Bucky was really excited to see his family and…his Steve. 

-”Mom…Dad…girls…It’s good to see you!!!” – Bucky hugged all of his family the moment they reunited at the habour. After experiencing a deadly war and that terrible nightmare, he cherished this like it was the most precious moment ever.

Dad drove the family to their home. Bucky asked them about another person, the one he vowed to protect. 

-”Guys, how is Steve?” – Bucky can’t not help it but asked about Steve, that punk. He did also hope to see him at the habour, but Steve was not there. Maybe because his condition was not good again, or he was making troubles somewhere, or even worse, he joined the army and became a what…super soldier?. Oh, snap it out, it was just a bad dream.

-”Oh, I thought you was gonna ask about him sooner” – laughed Rebecca. “Steve was the same without you, but you know, no one was there for him the deal with trouble, but mostly, he’s fine, we also supported him when he got sick. His health is not good these days, that why he cannot come and see you. He must be very happy if you come and see him.”

Rebecca was right, he needed to see Steve right now. He really missed that punk. 

*cough…cough* 

-”Rebecca? Is that you? Did Bucky come…back?”

Steve cannot say a word right now…It’s him…It’s Buck.

-”I heard that you have done some stupid things while I’m gone.” – Bucky smirk.

-”BUCKY!!!” –Steve burst into tears, seemed to forget that he was sick, ran forward and hugged Bucky like he never hugged him before. It’s been a long time since Bucky last wrote him. There was rumours that his unit was captured and was tortured. But now Bucky is here, and if it was a dream, Steve would never want to wake up. 

Bucky hugged Steve back. He was thinner than the last time he saw him. It must be so hard for him to be on his own during cold winter. Bucky knew that Steve is a strong man, but everyone needs helps sometimes. Steve must have refused the support from his family because he didn’t want to be treated like a weak kid. That punk,…always stupid.

However, Bucky was glad to see a small Steve, not that big guy that was called Captain in his nightmare. Because in that nightmare, Steve stupidly joined a deadly experiment, then was treated like a clown, and then sneaked in Nazis’ lair alone just to find him. Bucky never wanted Steve to run into a deadly war like that, never wanted him to see deadly scene. So, in a way, he was glad that Steve can stay at home safely.

Bucky missed his punk so much, he could not help himself but laying a kiss on Steve’s lips. To Steve’s astonishment, he said: “It must be God’s gift that I can be alive and go home. I just want to be by your side. Will you let me be with you til the end of the line?”

Bucky knew Steve did not have any prejudice on this kind of emotion, but would he accept his feelings? Bucky didn’t why he dared to do this, maybe he that nightmare gave him a belief that Steve also had the same feelings.

-”I miss you too, jerk” – Steve kissed him back. 

After returning from the war, Bucky got benefits from the government such as higher education and housing. Now, he can have a place of his own, where he can take a better care for Steve. He heard about an island called Hawaii, where the weather was sunny all year long. Therefore, he wanted to live there, with Steve so his health can be improved. 

Bucky worked very hard to earn money to support for his small family (in secret) and savings for Hawaii. Steve also have drawing jobs. Bucky knew that Steve loved it, but he worried about his health more. However, Steve is happy, so Bucky is happy. 

Finally, it was a sunny day in 1950, they can have a new life in Hawaii. 

The weather is really good for Steve’s health, the asthma was lessen. Everything here is relaxing, life is slower and people are friendlier. The native people there was open with the kind of feelings that they were having, which was amazing. 

It was a nice, quiet, and peaceful life that Bucky always wanted.

But nothing lasts forever. 

On Steve’s 50th birthday, they celebrated it in the hospital. Steve used to say on his 15th birthday that it would be a miracle if he can live until he was 50. But now, he is 50, and may leave this life at any moment. But he regrets nothing, accept the fact that he always feel like he has been a burden for Bucky because everything that Bucky did was for him. He wished that he was stronger to make Bucky happier. But, Bucky stopped Steve to say more. He got all he needed for this life, is to be til the end of the line with Steve. All he wanted is Steve to be healthy and stay with him longer.

Outside, fireworks were displayed colorfully in the sky, and inside, Steve had been into a forever sleep with a smile on his face.

Bucky held Steve’s hand, which was cold now. 

What could he do now? How can he move on without Steve? What should he do now?

Suddenly, Bucky saw a light outside, in the sky. It’s not fireworks or something, it’s just stay there. Bucky thought that his eyes had problems, since he is old now. 

-”Bucky…Bucky…” – he heard a voice outside. That familiar voice, how can he not recognize. But it’s not from the one on “sleeping” on the bed. It’s from the light, that light outside. Curiously, Bucky opened the window, in that light, he saw Steve, but not the same as his Steve. It’s the tall and big one that he once having a nightmare about it in the 40s.

-”Bucky…we will be til the end of the line together, won’t  we?” – that Steve said. Bucky knows that smile, that eyes, it was always Steve, just a different body. Steve would always want to be strong like that. His heart and mind never fits his body. This must be how he would have become if he was fully healthy. 

-”Sure, why not?” – Bucky takes “big Steve” hand and go into the light…

.

I guess that your mind is in peace now, and you can see you punk in Astral Dimension. Sleep well Bucky Barnes, you finally can be at the end of the line with Steve Rogers. 

I confirm that Bucky Barnes or Winter Soldier is dead now. There is no reason for me to stay in this dead universe anymore. 

You might be wondering who I am and what I am talking about. So, let me introduce myself. 

I am an inter-universe creature, who can travel across the multiverse. You can say that I, myself is a dark matters between world, who goes around, see things and escape from danger. With my power combined with my device, I accidently landed on this universe, where Ultron won and annihilated everything. On this planet Earth, somehow, Bucky Barnes still alive and he is also a Winter Soldier in this universe. I found him under the radiation snow, he was still fine, but seems lost. I tried to talk to him and looks like he was still finding his lost memories, just like his versions in many other universes. He did remember about Steve, his little Steve, which was Captain America. 

But well, in this hopeless universe, there is no more Steve for him to find, and now, he is all alone, in this world, waiting for death, a sad lonely deadth. Therefore, I decided to help him a little bit, by injected a dose of strong LSD, REALLY strong LSD. I did have a little affect on his mind, and with LSD, he can have a illusion in his mind about the life he always wanted with Steve. At least he died happily.

When the time comes, I touch his hand, take him to death with my power, a soft death, with a smile on his face. I guess you saw your Steve in Astral Plane. 

Well, this universe is dead now. I need to move to another one. Good night Bucky Barnes, I hope in a universe that I will come, you will be truly happy.

-THE END-

[kocuria]

His missing tshirt makes sense when he finds Steve wearing it—swimming in it, really—as he works in the kitchen

“Well this smells delicious,” he says, grabbing a coffee mug as he enters the room, and Steve jumps.

“God in heaven! You scared the bejeezus outta me! How are you so big but so quiet?”

“Sorry, babydoll.” He wraps an arm around Steve and presses a chaste kiss to his lips. “Casualties of dating a supersoldier-assassin-sniper. We’re naturally sneaky from all the training.”

“Is… Is that what this is? Dating?”

Prompt #: 3

Warnings: panic attacks, PTSD, brief mentions of vomit

Summary: It runs forward again, aggressively butting its head against his right hand and digging its claws into his shin. His hand - flesh and bone, this time - twitches, but the sharp pain of the cat’s claws stops him from making contact again. “God, you’re a fucking weirdo, huh?” the Asset murmurs, flipping his hand over so the cat can sniff at his fingers. Immediately after, he looks at his hand suspiciously - how did he know to do that? - but before he can think too hard about it he feels something like sandpaper scraping itself against his hand. The cat is licking his finger.

At 16, Steve Rogers knew two things: Bucky Barnes was his best friend and that he loved him.

At 24, he hadn't talked to Bucky since the day before he moved to Colorado after his mom died and he thought he never would again, even when he moved back to New York City.

Except Bucky showed up at his door and Steve ran to his parent's old cabin up state. It was probably a stupid idea to go for a walk when there was a storm threatening--he did it anyway. The last thing he expected when he got stuck in the worst snow storm that year was for Bucky to show up and rescue him, but maybe he should have because the alpha had been saving his ass since Steve was ten.

Steve + Asthma Masterlist

Links Last Checked: December 8th, 2023

Asthma (ao3) - Somerandomauthorrr steve/bucky T, 3k

Summary: Steve was having an asthma attack. He was having an asthma attack and Bucky wasn’t there. He’d been on the couch and he wasn’t there when he woke up and he was having an asthma attack.

Bucky spent so many years comforting Steve when he had an asthma attack, he knows exactly what to do. Maybe.

Back to Square One (fanfiction.net) - Ratchet's Apprentice 88 T, 2k

Summary: The research proved it was going to happen, but now they have to deal with it. Steve is left with a pre-serum immune system, forced to relive the main sicknesses from his childhood. Follow the Avengers as they help take care of their almost constantly ill captain. How long can this possibly last?

Be My Breath (ao3) - ClarkeStetler, Goosenik steve/bucky T, 44k

Summary: For the Shrinkyclinks Fest 2021 prompt: Steve needs a roommate. He thinks he will never find one but then he meets Winter Soldier Bucky who needs a place to stay while he recovers. Steve offers him the room immediately and it turns out Bucky is a great roommate.

Basically: Bucky moves in with Steve after he escapes from Hydra, and Steve begins the long process of helping Bucky remember how to be human again.

Breathless (ao3) - littleblackfox steve/bucky E, 3k

Summary: He likes the guy. Likes that he's six feet of piss and vitriol in a 90lb body, likes the wrinkle in his brow when he's sketching, likes the way he presses pencil to paper, all bold movements and elegant lines. Likes the way he approaches everything like it's a battlefield.

Buchanan Medical (ao3) - Metalbvcky steve/bucky T, 54k

Summary: Steve's childhood was filled with illnesses and dread of going to another no good doctor. Even now as an adult, his asthma persisted. But three months ago, Dr. Erskine passed away. Procrastination and fear ate him away. Now he had to find a new one since his medicine supply ran out.

Little did he know, his new doctor would be the greatest thing to happen in his life. -- Modern!AU. Bucky is a doctor and Steve is his patient. This is their journey through Steve's asthmatic issues

Cold Winter's Night (ao3) - fadedlullabyes steve/bucky G, 3k

Summary: Steve has an awful time getting back to his and Bucky's place. He finally makes it home only to suffer an asthma attack.

Does not play well with others (ao3) - usedupshiver steve/tony T, 11k

Summary: While sneaking into the Starks' abandoned home, Steve makes the startling discovery that even though no Stark is living in the house anymore, not all of them have actually left.

G.I. Joes and 2AM Diners (ao3) - OhCaptainMyCaptain steve/bucky E, 100k

Summary: They look nothing like what they used to. Time and life have completely changed them. But as they sit there in silence, eating two halves of one cupcake, letting Brooklyn remind there where they came from, and enjoying a sky full of stars… They are those same little boys, somewhere deep down. For just a second, you’d be able to see them again.

And Bucky thinks to himself that maybe it’s little moments like these – fleeting as they may be – that remind him why life is still worth living.

Little and Broken, But Still Good (ao3) - AnonEhouse G, 3k

Summary: De-aged Tony and Steve bond together to escape their kidnappers. It's not easy when you're five and one of you has asthma, but they're both stubborn. And they have friends they don't remember.

No really angsty bits, just an excuse for me to write little Steve and Tony.

quiet breathing (ao3) - HunterPeverell steve/bucky T, 21k

Summary: Bucky lived a charmed life for exactly twenty-two years before the Incident interupted his life and reduced him to a shell of who he once was. Now twenty-eight, Bucky must deal with nightmares, apathy, therapy, and the scattered remains of his life.

Then came Steve, who radiated sunlight and may spark life and magic back into Bucky's heart.

safe in your arms (ao3) - orphan_account steve/bucky E, 3k

Summary: The kick came before Steve could block it. One minute he was standing and the next, he was pinned underneath a beefy, impressively muscular body.

“Oof!” Steve groaned, for a moment closing his eyes. His chest was heaving, after a heavy session and the sweat on his back was making his top stick to the matt in the private room he’d booked with his instructor. His instructor who happened to be holding his hands above his head.

His instructor who’s sinfully red lips were seconds away from his own.

Selective Service (ao3) - Kroki_Refur N/R, 10k

Summary: The serum's given Steve a lot, but it hasn't taken anything away from him. Not even the things he never wanted in the first place.

The Regal Conflict (ao3) - BarqueBatch steve/bucky M, 18k

Summary: Steve Rogers is a comic and graphic novel artist that needs a minimum of seven hours sleep every night to keep his problematic health issues at bay. That becomes nearly impossible when his new neighbor’s dogs start waking him up at 4 AM every morning. When Sam makes a suggestion on how to handle the problem, Steve doesn’t quite follow through the way Sam intended.

James Barnes just wants a quiet place to hole up with his dogs when he’s not working. He’s paying decent money for a place more off the grid so he can steer clear of people and be left alone. So why the hell is he coming home to a hostile note on his door?

The Soldier and the Mountain (ao3) - MarleyMortis steve/bucky M, 110k

Summary: This is a story about recovering from rape, society's apathy toward victims of campus assault, and one man's trial to escape an abusive relationship in a world where men are painted as the batterer. When James Barnes, professional dancer, starts realizing his long-term boyfriend isn't interested in a healthy relationship, he meets Steve Rogers, one of his boyfriend's victims and a soon-to-be-graduate from NYU. Their friendship seems impossible, but maybe they are what the other needs to start clawing out of their traumatic pasts. The road is long and arduous, but recovery always is.

The Taste of Ink (ao3) - AidaRonan steve/bucky E, 5k

Summary: It's Valentine's Day and if Bucky has to make another Red Hot Red Velvet frap, he'll personally find Cupid and murder him with his own arrows. It's been six long months since he broke up with his ex when an old familiar face walks into his coffee shop.

And if Bucky still remembers his coffee order after two years, well, it's not at all because he wants every inch of him from his high tops to his tattooed neck.

The Winter Wolf (ao3) - JBankai89 steve/bucky E, 95k

Summary: No one thought the Great Depression would be an easy time, but none knew it better than Steven Grant Rogers.

When his mother married a farmer from out of town with a mean streak a mile wide in early 1938, twenty-year-old Steve honestly thought his life couldn't get any worse. Steve was sickly and unable to hold down any kind of job; a burden on the struggling family. When it all became too much, his stepfather talked Sarah Rogers into the unthinkable—abandon the young man where no one but the wolves would find him.

One last sneak peek at the Camp Counselor's AU for the Shrinkyclinks Prompt Fest before I post it this weekend. It is a short snip this week.

Several others have started to post their claims! Go take a look, give Kudos, and Comment, please. Interactions with readers give us humble creators life.

This is when Bucky meets Steve!

Once Bucky and Becca get closer to the registration desk, Becca starts to excitedly call out “Steve! Steve!”

A drop-dead gorgeous blonde twink raises his arm in greeting and Bucky is immediately smitten.

“Hey! There’s my favorite playwright! Glad to see you back. Are we to be treated to another Becca Barnes original this year?”

Becca blushes deeply and nods as she takes the Team Howlies T-shirt Steve holds out for her.

So, this was the infamous Steve Rogers. That smile. God, Bucky would give anything to have Steve smile at him like that. And holy cow that deep voice coming out of that lithe body. Bucky is swooning. He has never swooned before in his life, but he is sure what he is feeling right now is a swoon.

Time to be smooth.
