I'm Coming Too

Post CA:WS Recovery!Bucky

I wrote this while writing prompts for my 2k Followers Challenge. Inspired by Hadestown - more proof that I see Bucky Barnes everywhere, even if he's Eurydice and I'm Orpheus singing a song to lead him out of the underworld.

I'd like to dedicate this to @nix-akimbo who heard Bucky in this song, @godofplumsandthunder who loves this show, and @jobean12-blog who, when I asked her to name one or two things that she associates with me as part of the poll for my challenge, answered "New beginnings and the buildup of love and hope" - I really don't know how I got so lucky. Thanks, Jo.

Lyrics from "Wait For Me" in italics - Hadestown written by Anais Mitchell. No Warnings but my blogs are 18+ spaces always.

The tall, silent man across the hall with the haunted eyes. You didn't know where he had come from. He'd been hurt, shying away from your offer of friendship at first like a bruised animal. You persevered, offering little gifts at his door and soft words, cultivating a safe haven. Sitting quietly together and letting him just breathe - and finally he allowed your hand in his, the leather of his glove covering what you knew was cold metal.

You loved him on his terms. Slow and safe.

"Bucky." He answered the question you hadn't had the nerve to ask.

"Stay with me, Bucky."

Danger creeping in, his eyes darting on the street. He evades your questions, reverts to his old ways. You're afraid - scared you will wake up one morning and he will be gone.

You can see it in his eyes even when he avoids your glance. You just hope he tells you first.

You'll have to take the long way down

Through the underground, under cover of night

Laying low, staying out of sight

There ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map

Just a telephone wire and the railroad track

You keep on walking and you don't look back

"I have to leave, it's not safe for you."

"I'll go with you!"

"You're not safe with me."

Wait for me, I'm coming

Wait, I'm coming with you

You bargain, and he agrees but your heart is cold. Rushing to pack a bag, it hammers a steady beat. Don't leave me - I'm coming - trust me.

You're on the lam, you're on the run

Don't give your name, you don't have one

And don't look no one in the eye

Bursting through the door, a sob escapes as you see his room empty. It can't end like this - it repeats in your head. This isn't how the story ends. You can still feel him in the air, and you know it hasn't been long since he left. Slamming the door and rushing down the stairs and out onto the street, you search.

Wait for me, I'm coming too

I'm coming too

"Wait!"

He hears you and turns. Waits. You rush up to him, out of breath, eyes rimmed with tears. "I'm coming too."

He's silent, staring at you. It's hard for him to speak, difficult to explain the storm in his head and you know that. You know he's worried and he doesn't know if he can keep you safe, you see it in his eyes. Taking his gloved hand, you pull on each finger, stripping the glove from the metal and curling your fingers around his.

"This is the only hand I want to hold."

A ghost of a smile on his lips, and he nods. Hand in hand, you start off together, down the road.

Eury's 2K Challenge

To prepare for this challenge, I polled some friends and asked them to name one or two things that they associate with me. There were many mentions of Sweet Space Husband and Government Bureaucrat Daddy and 40s Bucky, Soft Trumpet Boy and Daddy Andy, and that I'm Always On My Charles Blackwood Bullshit ™ - but mostly I was touched and inspired by their thoughts of friendship, kindness and of how they look at my idiosyncrasies and see someone worthy of their support.

The prompts were inspired by their answers.

I really never thought I'd reach this milestone. I'm happy to share this with my friends and followers and readers, who inspire me every day. THANK YOU for following me and for playing with me!

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

Between the sinners and the saints

It takes and it takes and it takes
