[In one moment, Bucky is fractured pieces, bits of memories and glass thrown to the wind, lost in the smoke. In the next, his chest surges as he gasps for a breath he didn't know he needed, his body alight with Sam's ability.

Cedar and pine wind down through the ice, fracturing in long jagged edges.
Alicia, 1984, her eyes vacant and empty, smoke falling from her mouth in plumes, but that isn't right. The smoke goes with the train and the fall and oh god his arm-

But Sam is here now, will always be here, and breathing for him and Bucky wants nothing more than for it to stop. He doesn't want to remember. He can't stop remembering.
On Concordia, his notebook filled from front to back with faces, Steve watching him with candid fear-
Back on the Station- at least it didn't take me two years-
Hair braided away from his face, his beard gently cut away, Sam in the dust beneath him, the urge to run every time they go back to the Station-
no subject

It's all looping again and again.
Stay. Stay with him. Don't leave.]
