oooooohh!! This is good! Let’s assume that Steve’s either not full of illness or gets immediate and proper medication so that he’s good to go. Let’s also assume is temporary so Steve’s not having a ridiculous crisis.
Sam would be the one to enjoy it the most for non-sexual reasons I think. He either makes Steve run with him or makes Steve watch him run and he laughs and laughs the entire time. Payback’s a bitch. Besides all the petty reasons though, I think he really enjoys seeing Steve smaller and that even though all his giant muscles are gone, he still has all the same bravado that he had before. Sam would be the snappiest about it. He picks Steve up at least once just so he can say he did it. I feel like Sam doesn’t let up on Steve at all because he doesn’t see Steve any differently if he’s big or small. It makes the least bit of sexual difference to him but he finally gets to try out some more acrobatic stuff on him now that he doesn’t weigh a ton.
Natasha? Loves it. Like, really loves it. It’s still her Steve but now she can crush him like a bug and tbh Steve’s just as into that as she is. She probably literally walks all over him and spends a lot of time riding him. So… not much changes there tbh. Nat’s super into skinny Steve though. I feel like knowing Steve skinny is a window into his soul. All the weird mannerisms that seemed odd for a giant man to do make sense on a little guy. She figures out that Steve’s still that little guy even when he’s big, he just can’t hold her up against a wall and fuck him anymore. Natasha’s probably super turned on by understanding the inner workings of someone’s mind. Since Steve’s super libido is gone too she also spends a lot of time sitting on his face.
Bucky’s interesting because it could go one of two ways. He could either be like ‘holy shit there’s the Steve I miss/ never got to fuck I gotta do him like I’ve wanted to for forever’ or ‘wtf this is weird and wrong and I’m gonna kill my tiny friend’! Either way it takes Bucky a while to come around but when he does, he really does. Bucky’s always a little sweet with Steve but when he’s tiny it’s amplified. It drives Steve crazy because he doesn’t want sweetness so he pushes and pushes and eventually gets Bucky to treat him how he wants. (He wants to get rekt)
Steve himself is probably extra needy and a little whiny and eventually decides that there’s no need to be miserable when his lovers can all pick him up and toss him around now.
Sam laid in bed and considered the idea that he was dying.
“You’re not dying,” Steve said, but he was holding his hand in a worrying grip that really didn’t reassure him.
“I feel like I’m dying,” Sam said.
“Serves you right,” Bucky muttered from where he was pacing in concern in the opposite side of the hotel room.
“The doctor said it’s normal,” Natasha said. She stood perfectly still at the base of the bed. She hadn’t moved a muscle for twenty minutes. She was worried too.
“Well, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt,” Sam grumbled, wincing as his ribs pulled.
Run away with me, Steve said. It’ll be fun, Steve said. You won’t nearly die in a freak explosion, Sam, Steve said.
“This is all my fault,” Steve whispered, pressing his forehead to their hands.
“No, c’mon,” Sam said, squeezing Steve’s hand. “It was that fucking Nazi’s fault.”
Steve gave Sam the big, pleading puppy-dog eyes. “I’m so sorry, Sammy.”
“He’ll be fine,” Natasha said, voice clipped. She finally moved, sitting on the bed by Sam’s feet. She put her hand on his ankle. “You’ll be fine,” she said in a softer voice.
“This sucks,” Bucky said, coming to sit by Sam’s other side like that was something he did. “You motherfucker.”
“I’d push you into an explosion,” Sam said exhaustedly, trying for a smile.

Summary:
Everything was spiraling out of control, and Bucky didn’t know how to stop it. Didn’t know how to take any of it back or make it go away.
“Look, just…” He scrubbed a hand over his face. “Just forget I said anything, okay? You’re standing up to bullies. You’re doing the right thing.” He tried to smile. “What’s done is done. No going back.”
After a few bottles of cheap booze and some coaxing from Steve, Bucky finds himself opening up. About everything. And somehow, that ends in kissing. (Which means what for them…?)
An artistic collaboration for Captain America Reverse Big Bang 2017! (@capreversebb)
Many thanks to frostyemma for writing this adorably angsty fic, for sending me the perfect scene to draw for, and for being so agreeable to my last-minute shenanigans. Thanks also to the CapRBB Slack for all the art feedback, and working with me until the kiss didn’t look like they were just nose-jousting. 😀
Concept: Some jackass shows Bucky how to make a blog and it becomes really popular. Not because it’s the blog of James Buchanan Barnes, American Legend, War Hero, Infamous Assassin, Alleged Terrorist. Nobody even knows it’s his blog. It gets really popular because people think it’s a really great shitpost generator or something. Because Bucky is just a Weird Fucking Person and everything he posts on his fucking personal blog comes off as somewhere between dril and Jaden Smith and people are like “this is some quality garbage right here” and thus Accidental Memelord Bucky is born.
Bucky posts things like
“What is wrong with bananas. I ate a banana today and it was Wrong. America why”
“Every time I put on my eye makeup it gets bigger. My whole face is eyeliner now.”
“Why does friendship feel so much like punching”
“When I wake up in the middle of the night I am either thinking ‘who am I? does my life have meaning?’ or “did I already eat all of the plums?’”
“Why are you so grumpy” they ask me. they do not realize this is just my Face.”
“I know i said i would give my left arm for a cup of coffee but i am more awake now and i would like my arm back please”
“I guess I must have done something horrible in a past life. I mean. I definitely did something horrible in this life, so. “
OMG I LOVEEEE
YEEESSSSSSS!
“Guy in front of me won’t move his car seat up. I think that might still be upset about all those times I tried to kill him.”
“Got lectured by a guy who had been complaining about how things were Back In The Day. I don’t understand why he got upset. I too lived through the Great Depression and was drafted for the War.”
“The economy in this century sucks. Who exactly though another Stock Market crash was a good idea?”
“Apparently, it was Rude™ of me to pitch in my two cents on a conversation I happened to overhear, despite agreeing with them. On an unrelated note, I am no longer allowed in the ceiling vents.”
“‘If you don’t behave we’ll send (mutual) after you.’ Jokes on them. I’m the one who trained them to be an assassin in the first place.”
“Tried to buy a Chicken Dinner candy bar at the supermarket today. Turns out they were discontinued 54 years ago. Super bummed.”
“Wait. People were on the moon?! We got into space? There is a way off of this rock?! Why am I only just hearing about this?!”
“’Have you been living under a rock the past 50 years?’ No I was cryogenically frozen for 70. I don’t appreciate your tone young man.”
“My friend likes convincing people that I’m the Reckless one in our friendship. As if he won’t find an alley behind a bar to pick a fight in if I take my eyes off him for two seconds.”
“Why would i want to get a haircut when instead I can look like i just returned from a 12 year jaunt in the wilderness every time i grow a beard”
“was having a hard time finding noodles in the grocery store & asked a clerk for help. she looked at me like a crazy person. lady, it’s not my fault you don’t speak russian”
“what kind of idiot thinks dancers are sissies? literally every ballerina i have ever met could kill an adult man with just her legs”
“today i discovered Conditioner. the future is a miracle and my hair like a cloud now”
“apparently just jumping on to a moving bus when you are running late is not a thing people do anymore. please stop yelling at me.”
“went to a club last night to see what the hip kids were into. apparently the latest thing is just having sex standing up with your clothes on in a room full of people.”
“on the one hand, people dressed much nicer in the 40s. on the other hand, yoga pants.”
“rode in a car with heated seats today. it is my house now. i live here.”
“i have acquired a small bear. i am putting a collar and leash on him. he is my dog. no one tell animal control”
“i am working on this whole Good Guy thing but anyone who cuts me in line at starbucks deserves to have their kneecaps shot out okay”
“why did they have to make escalators so terrifying to get on and off of? from now on I’m just jumping off the mall balconies. none of this awful moving teeth staircase”
“i don’t care if it’s a ‘priceless historical artifact,’ punk, i didn’t wanna do the dishes and it makes a pretty good spaghetti bowl”
“hoodie pockets are so great. i can fit like three sandwiches and a grenade in there and my hands are still warm”
“i really though we would have flying cars by now. the future is such a letdown.”
“changed sam’s ringtone to jesus take the wheel.”
“do you know that feeling when you go to lean on your short friend’s conveniently arm-rest-height shoulder but you forget they had a huge growth spurt and you just awkwardly lean your elbow into the middle of their bicep”
“i swear i didn’t know your girlfriend was coming over. i always ominously clean my assault weapons on the coffee table like that. it had nothing to do with you.”
Current sexuality: Bucky blocking Iron Man’s hand with his normal arm.
I love that they’re showing us from time to time that metal arm isn’t his only strength. Like:
I know! I hate it when people forget that Buckyisa goddamned super soldier. He’s had the serum and years of fucking training. He’s strong as shit. You show ‘em, baby.
The best Bucky and Cap ever. Before I finished asking “can I take your picture?” they were already posing.
