No Trio Has Ever Trio'd As Hard As THEY Trio

Love the idea that Bucky just drops heavy shit on the others without any warning.

They're all watching some movie where a character gets a super gruesome injury or dies in this horrible way, and Bucky walks by, stops, and says, "that's not right."

They're like, "Okay? We're assuming the soldier did that to a few people?"

"No. Hydra did that to me a few times for tests." And just wanders off like he hasn't stunned them into a horrified silence.

They all turn to look at Steve and/or Sam because what the fuck.

They just shake their heads, though, and put their face in their hands because they're horrified too, but also Bucky, buddy, we've talked about this. It's great that you're remembering/processing this stuff, but it's really heavy stuff to just drop on people without warning. Even if those people are the only other people in the world who might be able to relate.

But Bucky just can't seem to wrap his head around the fact that they're upset by the idea of those things happening to him.

And maybe one time they argued with him like no that's totally an accurate portrayal of 'insert horrible thing here'.

Bucky just kind of goes dead eyed and asks them if they'll be testing it on him again or if they'll be able to tell from Hydra's notes on the last time they did 'insert horrible thing here' to him.

And they don't argue with him again.

"The universe itself is deafening— black holes collide in silent vacuum, stars implode without a whisper, yet their gravity sculpts galaxies.

So too with us.

The world drowns in noise— politicians shout promises, influencers scream for attention, algorithms howl with empty trends.

But real power? It moves like starlight: soundless, relentless, rewriting destinies.

The enslaved who dug railroad tracks— not the senators who debated railroads. The nurse holding a dying hand at 3AM— not the viral thoughts-and-prayers post. The single mother working triple shifts— her silence louder than any CEO’s manifesto.

You want to know what shakes the earth? Not thunder. Not words. But the weight of a million quiet deeds, piling up like sediment until whole mountains have no choice but to rise."

Summary: For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would become a Dark Lord. For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would take down the Ministry or die trying. He should have known that Hermione and Ron wouldn't let him do it alone.

Like at this point I dont have the energy to change the direction my life is taking right now. Like God's taken the steering wheel and I'm just cruising along in the passenger seat, that's what's happening rn. Or maybe the devil's the one holding the steering wheel, idk someone's in the driver's seat. Or maybe it's a self driving car, the way my life's going it seems like a self driving car. Or maybe it's all just minutes away from crashing and burning and no one's driving the car at all and we're just headed towards an accident.

i still can’t believe sam and bucky canonically rolled down a hill on top of each other

Hydra never even really tried to figure out how to numb/relieve pain for Bucky so the first time he gets good, healthy, safe medication that actually works on on super soldiers, he's kind of overwhelmed that he doesn't hurt because he always hurts.

"Oh..." He's all wide, wet eyes and a soft, awed voice. "I didn't know you could make it go away."

He doesn't remember ever not hurting.

~~~~

And he's overwhelmed by them telling him that he should be unconscious for major surgeries, and certainly shouldn't feel during them what the fuck, because... what does that even mean? He's always awake and he always feels it.

And he's stuck on the fact that there's medication out there that will help him, actually help him and not whatever Hydra told him would help, and it doesn't make him violently sick or high as hell or anything horrible.

I feel like if Hydra managed to get their hands on Bucky again, the best way for them to keep him would be to put him immediately in cryo and leave him alone for awhile. Maybe in an old base, or even somewhere kind of random.

A small handful of people know, and that's it.

They leave him there.

I feel like that would be hard to track.

No one out in the world knows where he is.

There's no gossip about Hydra getting the soldier back because no one knows they have him.

No influx of people near any known or potential Hydra bases because they stayed long enough to freeze him and then left.

No data or activity logs to find because they're not doing anything with him.

Just silence.
