Author’s summary:

 

Bucky is walking out of Starbucks when he sees a Captain America signal hanging in the sky.

 

“Uh,” Bucky says, stopping dead on the sidewalk. “Huh.”

 

For one thing, he doesn’t have a Captain America signal.

 

So… that seems like kind of a bad sign.

My notes:

 

This is absolutely hilarious! It's a wonderfully realistic depiction of a long-distance relationship and the difficulties and pitfalls with it, as well as hashing out of how to make it work, but also coming to realize that sometimes you need to find a new way of doing things.
