New fic: Captain America/The Bear for Into a Bar

[gwyn]

As usual, I cut it down to the wire for my Into a Bar fic, but hey, at the 11th hour, I got 'er done.

Don’t Touch Me I’m a Real Live Wire (2460 words) by gwyneth rhys
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Captain America (Movies), The Bear (TV 2022)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes, Neil Fak, Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto
Additional Tags: Community: intoabar, Bucky Barnes Recovering, Developing Friendships
Summary:

What was he going to do—admit that he was heading west, to Los Angeles or San Francisco or Seattle, to avoid dealing with the mess with Steve because he wasn’t man enough to handle any kind of emotions right now? To a total stranger? And yet he found himself saying, “I’ve been traveling, trying to get my head back on straight.” The kind eyes, Bucky supposed. That was a weakness even Hydra hadn’t totally obliterated in him, and oh, he’d been punished for that mercilessly when it had reared its head.

I only know The Bear from internet osmosis, but I still got a real sense of these characters, and this was a lovely scene.

Plus, Talking Heads is a bonus.
