GLOSSSSSS!!!

You know how much I *love* this, right? It is my new FAVORITE thing.

Bucky thought of the tracer he'd found on his belt buckle, just an hour after he'd last left Fury. Thought, too, of the shield on his arm, Steve's shield. Totems and fetishes that made their own magic: You belong to me.
I can't even say anything about this line, I am so in love with it.

He rested the blade perpendicular to Fury's throat. A little more pressure, and the skin would part softer than fruit. Blood could run, welling before it arced.

The star on his arm was insurance against that instinct.
The almost soft description of something terrible, and then a staccato sentence putting it in its place-- gorgeous.

His thumb curved into the white hair on Nick's temple, his fingers clutching at the darker hairs further back. At night, blood on snow looks just like this, glitters of darkness, stars in absence.
OH, GAH.

And Nick drinking highballs!

I like icon twinnage! 'tis *fun*

I am SO HAPPY you enjoyed. I just -- it flowed pretty well, then I slept on it, and all of a sudden there was *more* that brought it together just as I'd hoped. <3333

I'm especially glad the totems/fetishes wasn't too alien to the rest, because I couldn't cut it. I tried! And I failed.

Nick HAD to drink highballs. It was a moral imperative, much like Buck's new armshield, really.

you don't mind if I keep it?

I think Bucky might believe in, or at least pay some kind of respect to, fetishes. He strikes me as the sort of boy who might have had a lucky rabbit foot, and anyway I think the arm-shield is proof enough that he puts stock in tokens.

Fury : Bucky :: Jameson : Ginger Ale.

Please do keep it. *g*

Honestly, it was the moment in "Gunsels" when he squirrels away a lock of Jason's hair that got me thinking around this.

Fury : Bucky :: Jameson : Ginger Ale.
They taste best together, yes. (And Bucky : Cap :: Ginger Ale : Scoop of double-churned vanilla?)

You know, I had him do that because of Waid's thing about how he collected trophies! Firm canonical support here, clearly.

(And Bucky : Cap :: Ginger Ale : Scoop of double-churned vanilla?)
YES ABSOLUTELY. HOMEMADE DOUBLE-CHURNED VANILLA. WITH REAL BEANS.
