Oh. Gosh. I don't even really know what to say.
That was beautiful and heartbreaking and sad and depressing and sweet and hopeful and cute all at once and I'm gonna go lie down in a corner and bawl like a baby now.
I mean, DAMN. That was brilliant. The chemistry between them all and the subtle jokes and all that sadness, but mostly Sam's careful handling of everything, his whole approach in dealing with Bucky to not trigger him in any way...
I'm sorry, I think I don't have words right now – that was so, so, so, SO good. You're bloody awesome. <3

oh thank you! that's so sweet. <3

Sam's just such a good guy and we see how he is with Steve, and his therapy group, and how he has more tools than Steve does for how to deal with Bucky. And he understands that it wouldn't be quick and easy, but at least they can start together.
