And I was even beginning to think home might be with you.

The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood

[escapeintothepages]

“That's death and life, you see. We all shine on. You just have to release your hearts, alert your senses, and pay attention. A leaf, a star, a song, a laugh. Notice all the little things, because somebody is reaching out to you."

The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, Ben Sherwood

MORTE E VIDA DE CHARLIE ST. CLOUD DE BEN SHERWOOD

ORIGINAL: The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud 2012 Novo Conceito 309p ⭐⭐⭐

SINOPSE: Um coração dividido entre dois mundos. Em uma pacata vila de pescadores da Nova Inglaterra, Charlie St. Cloud cuida dos gramados e monumentos de um antigo cemitério onde seu irmão mais jovem, Sam, está enterrado. Após sobreviver ao acidente de carro que tirou a vida de seu irmão, Charlie recebe um dom extraordinário: ele consegue enxergar, conversar e até mesmo brincar com o espírito de Sam. É neste mundo místico que entra Tess Carroll, uma cativante mulher treinando para navegar sozinha ao redor do mundo em um veleiro. O destino faz com que seu barco seja apanhado por uma violenta tempestade, trazendo-a assim para a vida de Charlie. Sua bela e incomum ligação os leva a uma corrida contra o tempo e a uma escolha entre a vida e a morte, entre o passado e o futuro, entre apegar-se ou deixar o passado para trás – e a descoberta que milagres podem acontecer se nós simplesmente abrirmos nossos corações.

The death and life of James B. Barnes (6) - the end

MASTERLIST

Pairing: Bucky x reader

Warnings: ANGST, mentions of dying and death of a loved one and FLUFFY TIMES.

Word count: 2.053

Summary: After finding Y/N’s body, Bucky makes amends with his loss. Final part of the @hunters-from-stark-tower movie challenge!

Part 1: the sailing competition

Part 2: the accident

Part 3: the fresh start

Part 4: the first date

Part 5: the high water

She doesn’t recall much, as was to be expected. Not soon after I reached Y/N, a chopper located our whereabouts and a rescue team was sent to our aid. They found our entangled bodies, clinging together in the space between life and death, our laboured breaths the only sign they needed to pursue with our extraction. Not even the paramedics managed to properly separate us afterwards as the freezing cold had been responsible for joining our bodies like a statue made of stone.

The hospital staff was so kind as to give us one shared room so I could monitor her recovery myself.  Y/N almost died and so did I but with every waking moment she’s gaining her strengths back. She just has to open her eyes for me once so I know she’s still with me, that I won’t lose her a second time.

It all still feels so unreal but luckily I have Tony by my side to guide me through the aftermath. Imagine me having to explain to the cops how I knew exactly where to find her, that I talked to her ghosts the night before. They would’ve sent me straight to the asylum if it wasn’t for Tony.

We’ve been spending a lot of time together, waiting together for Y/N to wake up. Tony tells her stories of his glory days when he used to be the star sailor and how he met Pepper in a similar fashion as Y/N and I did.

He spoke of how Pepper initially posed a threat to him (“I might swear like a sailor but she was always the better one”) but that he learnt to put his pride aside and finally ask her out. I must admit I teared up a little inside when he talked about how she eventually lost the battle against cancer and we cried together at our losses, the memory of both Pepper and Steve still very much alive.

While we were away, Nat went into labour because she could not cope with the stress of not knowing whether her best friend had survived the storm. I apologised profusely to both Nat and Clint for breaking them apart during what is considered one of the most important moments in life, but they assured me that I should not feel guilty as the baby was born without any complications and is as healthy as can be which is what matters most.

Three weeks later and the doctors decided to keep Y/N in an induced comatose state to minimise any potential brain damage. I was also there when they made the decision to put her off life support to see if her lungs would be able to breathe on their own. Fortunately Y/N is a strong woman and if it wasn’t for her determined spirit, I would’ve given up on life a lot sooner. It’s only fair I did the same for her.

Many sleepless nights later, I am making my way towards the docks where I know she’ll be sitting patiently, her thoughtful eyes following every ripple and every wave as the sea beckons her. I understand the temptation all too well, the longing for the water to engulf me with all its might as I conquer the tides with my boat. But none of that would ever be my main priority as long as there’s Y/N. I will always put her first.

“Hi,” I say shyly, lowering the bouquet of soft pink roses and taking a quick peek at the stunning woman in front of me. She’s staring achingly at the sailboats that have gathered today for another competition, pining over the fact she will not be able to participate for a long time to come.

“Hi,” she offers back gingerly, unsure of how to react. It’s been a couple hours since she was released from the hospital, her memory still ragged and full with holes and yet here she is, returning to her first love, the sea. Nonetheless, she’s still got questions marks written all over her beautiful face and oh, how do I wish I could provide her with the answers she so desires.

I give her a kind smile even though she does not return the gesture, her lips curling downwards as she continues to focus on the boats passing by. “I stopped by the hospital to see you but the nurse told me you’d been released earlier this morning.”

“Yeah,” she sighs, carding her slender fingers through her hair, loosening the tight bun holding her luscious curls captive and I watch with rapture as it cascades down her shoulders like a waterfall. “I didn’t have the heart to call you, Bucky. I just,” she sighs again, gathering her thoughts, “I just don’t know. I don’t know anything, I don’t remember anything and it’s killing me.”

“I can tell you what happened, if you want me to.” Bucky takes a few tentative steps towards her and Y/N slowly inches back, still on guard after all that’s happened.

Clint and Tony filled her in on the conditions in which she was found, sticking like glue to Bucky’s body warmth. Yet her mind cannot wrap itself around the fact that she actually made it out alive and all thanks to Bucky. Somehow she is convinced she shouldn’t be here at all, that the time had come for her to join her parents in heaven.

He holds out the roses for her and she accepts them with a small smile lightening up her Y/E/C eyes. “Please,” she breathes out languidly as the aroma of the freshly cut roses invades her nostrils and tickles her senses awake. “I don’t know how much longer I can take it.”

Unbeknownst to Bucky, Y/N does have some kind of recollection of their date. Unwilling to give in to the preposterous idea that it was in fact all real, she simply chooses to believes it all was a very vivid, very lucid dream. Yet here he is, James Buchanan Barnes, with his pleading puppy dog eyes asking her if she wants to hear his story, their story. And she just knows, deep down, that it’s all true.

“You remember that night at the harbour?”

Y/N nods shyly, her eyes locking with Bucky’s and a wave of familiarity washes both of them clean of their insecurities. “The next day, you set out to sail and got stuck in a storm which threw you way off course.”

Her eyes start to gloss over with the tears of remembrance. It must’ve been hell for her, all alone and with a malfunctioning radio, no-one to reach out to and nowhere else to go. Completely disoriented and utterly frightened.

“This might sound weird, but I promise you I’m not joking,” Bucky begins again. “But I saw your ghost that evening.”

Bucky continues to tell a slightly startled Y/N how they had spent hours on end talking, eating, drinking wine, kissing and eventually making love. It was all so bittersweet but that doesn’t make it any less real.

Y/N’s soul fought her way back to Bucky, unaware of the whereabouts of her actual body. Her subconscious had guided her back to the one person that would be able to help her. Every single detail Bucky recalls very intensely and the longer Bucky’s words fill her ears, the more Y/N’s resolve starts to crumble.

“How do I know you’re not crazy like everyone says you are?,” she queries and Bucky would be lying if the questions doesn’t sting a little. But he understands where it’s coming from. She’s not quite willing to give up on the world as she knows it and indulge herself with the knowledge that there is in fact a world in between. That she was, in fact, dying.

“That night, you said that your parents’ death hit you harder than anything else. You recited a poem to me, you want me to repeat it for you?”

“Bucky,” she exhales slowly before nodding. “If you must.”

Taking in a deep breath, fingers crossed that he gets the words right, Bucky’s voice carries through Y/N’s bones, cutting her in half and reaching her very core with fate’s tendrils.

“Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backwards. E.E. Cummings.”

As soon as Bucky utters the last word, Y/N jumps into his arms, burying her face in his shoulder and Bucky cranes his neck in order to place a chaste kiss on her temple, whispering countless I love you’s into her ear.

She finally remembers.

ONE YEAR LATER

Everyone’s at their Sunday’s best, per request of Y/N and Bucky. It’s their special day after all.

“Come on, you slug!,” Bucky calls out to Clint who’s cradling his baby girl in his arms, followed closely by Nat, showing off her little baby bump. “Or has fatherhood turned you into a pussy? You’re sure as hell going fast here, man, with a second one already on the way.”

“Watch out, Barnes,” Clint lifts a playful finger at Bucky, “Or do you want me to spill the beans to Y/N about the confession you made at your bachelor party?”

Bucky swallows visibly, laughing away Clint’s empty threat, knowing that his best friend would never tell Y/N just for how long Bucky had been pining over her before he finally had the guts to actually talk to her. But he’s not willing to take that risk because there’s no way in hell Y/N isn’t going to let him live that down for the rest of his life. “Cut the crap, Barton,” he chuckles nervously.

Friskily slapping his shoulder, Clint resumes his place by Nat’s side, gently rubbing his hand over her swollen tummy and shooting Y/N a smug grin when they make eye contact. “You look like an angel,” Clint comments on Y/N’s wedding dress.

“It’s so absolutely you to get married and start your trip around the world merely two hours later, leaving all your friends to celebrate without the bride and groom,” Natasha pipes up, wiping away a single tear so it doesn’t crack the strong front she’s trying to keep up for her friend, both of them realising they won’t see each other again for a quite a long time to come.

Y/N looks back at Bucky, her now husband, patiently waiting for her on the deck. The two of them spent a year trying to rebuilt the boat that Bucky and Steve used to sail their competitions with, not only attempting to restore the vessel to its former glory but also trying to build it into a better version, a way of commemorating their deceased loved ones.

Occasionally they would crash into a wave of emotions when Bucky spoke about Steve and the countless gold medals they collected when they were on their winning streak. He often wonders how Steve’s doing, hoping that his little brother knows deep down that he’ll always live on in Bucky’s heart. Steve’s part of Bucky’s soul just as much as Bucky’s a part of Steve’s soul. “Till the end of the line,” escapes Bucky’s lips each and every night before he falls asleep with the love of his life right there in his arms.

Little did Bucky know that when the canon shot announced sundown, Steve wasn’t waiting for Bucky to arrive so they could resume playing catch just like they had done so many times before. On the contrary, Steve had been standing at the shoreline, watching with a big, dorky smile how Bucky, Clint and Tony resolved their differences and set out to sail towards Y/N.

Steve watched and prayed for his big brother, waving one last time before rushing into the woods towards their old meeting spot, a familiar weight lifting off his chest and disappearing into thin air as Steve’s body roams these trees and vines one last time before vanishing into a ray of light, accompanying the stars above.

Even now he is still keeping an eye out for Bucky, grinning like a complete fool as he sees Bucky take Y/N’s hand in his, softly kissing her knuckles before tucking her hand in his, intertwining their fingers as he steers their sailboat away from the harbour of their hometown and towards a new adventure.

Both boys are finally at peace.
