PAIRING: Steve /Bucky

SUMMARY:

In East Berlin around the late 60s /early 70s, KGB Asset 3B-1 is tasked with eliminating a subject, but his personal equipment malfunctions and the whole thing gets switched to recon and this is how Asset 3B-1 finds himself watching a hapless artist sleep, mostly. But this is the heyday of spies and corruption and nothing ever being what it seems, and so Things Happen. Plot and action and secrets and lies Happen. Until of course the truth comes out, the way it always does. Because at the core of this are Bucky and Steve, as always—idiots who are being the most idiotic idiots about everything, especially each other.

A/N: OMG PEOPLE. IT IS DONE. WE MADE IT.

i nearly drove myself nuts trying to wrap up every last wayward plot strand, but really -- i only have myself to blame for stranding so many plots to begin with.

You absolutely have my permission to yell at me in the comments if i've missed tying up any loose ends. Or anything else. 🤣

i also need you all to take a moment and thank @booksandabeer because she made this story into what it is and saved me from myself countless times. It would not have been worth reading without her amazing beta skills and patient understanding. And she's as much of an accuracy /research freak as i am, which, let's face it, is saying something.

And then i need you to help me throw all the love at @bittersweet-in-boston who is the reason i wrote this, and is the loveliest and staunchest supportive cheerleader anyone could ever hope for.

Finally to @hanitrash and @sparkagrace, and the amazing @smlmsworld, who yell shouty love at me and then blame me for making them yell. i am not sorry.

THANK YOU ALL FOR READING. i LOVE YOU.

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
