FIC: strings of secrets cut the ties that bind me
Title: strings of secrets cut the ties that bind me
Author: citadelofswords
Artist: branquignole
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Pairings: Steve/Bucky, Clint/Natasha/Sam
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, PTSD, Character Death (see here for more; warning: spoilers for the fic)
Summary: By the end, there was nothing but the moon, hanging in the sky. Literally hanging- Steve had reached up and touched it and watched it swing, hoping it would hypnotize him into a dream world where Bucky hadn't been ripped out of their Jaeger and cast into the ocean below to drown and die alone.
Steve gripped the wall with both hands and told himself to breathe before he had a panic attack. Bucky wasn't here anymore, but he could always find him in the Drift if he missed him too much. The ice had numbed the loss to the point that Steve didn't feel sad, necessarily. He was only empty.
He was only missing his soulmate.
