The Needs of the One

[przed]

A year and five months late, I've finally finished my Fandom Trumps Hate 2019 story. I'll be putting up a chapter a day.



The Needs of the One
Chapter 1 of 8
Fandom: Captain America (Movies)
Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers
Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson (Marvel), Shuri (Marvel), Natasha Romanov (Marvel), Okoye (Marvel)
Additional Tags: 1930s, Brooklyn, Post-Black Panther (2018), Post-Civil War (Marvel), Pre-Serum Steve Rogers, Goat Herder Bucky Barnes, Wakanda (Marvel), Hurt/Comfort, double timeline

Summary:
"I hear your pal is sick again."

Kenny McMannis smirked as he passed by, and honestly it was the smirk as much as the comment that made Bucky grab the jerk's arm and glare at him.

"Who are you talking about, McMannis?" he said, squeezing his arm just a little bit harder than necessary. "Steve?"

"Of course I mean Rogers." McMannis tried to pull his arm out of Bucky's grip, then acted like he didn't care when he couldn't manage it. "You got another sickly runt roommate?"

1938 or 2018, Brooklyn or Wakanda, Bucky Barnes will always be there to look after Steve Rogers.

aaaaaa I'm so excited to read! (alas, gotta grade first...)

[przed]

Hope you like it. And good luck with the grading! (I haven't had to grade since 1996 when I moved to corporate training, and I don't miss it one bit.)

haha I read chapter 1 and got really nervous that it's a story of Bucky being alone and Steve just constantly leaving him so I haven't psyched myself up to read chapter 2 and 3 yet.....

[przed]

Not really. They’re with each other pretty much the whole story. Though there are other sources of angst along the way. But there’s plenty of comfort to go with the hurt.

[potofsoup]

oh whew it wasn't about Steve constantly leaving :)

Well done! I love your writing but haven't a clue about the fandom so might give it a miss!
