Can we just talk about the moment when the Howling Commandos realize that the only reason any of them made it out is because Steve loves Bucky That. Fucking. Much.? That if Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes were just a tiny bit less adorable, they’d all be dead?
OMFG greenbergsays THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. THEY WOULD NEVER LET HIM LIVE IT DOWN. THIS NEEDS TO BE A CODE. This needs to be the thing the Commandos hand down to their grandchildren so that Sophie can look at Trip, all innocence, and say “Code Purple” or something and they all just tease him solid for a week and he’s like “Goddamn it, guys. IT’S BEEN SEVENTY YEARS ALREADY. LET IT GO.”
