as always, mind the warnings in each fic. Hope it helps!
EDIT: Forgot to add Color by Numbers by vitoliel. It fits, though it’s Bucky who does all the work at realizing he’s a person and Steve and co. who decidedly fail to treat him as one (for 2 chapters, at least), fair warning.
For the people who forgot that death!art is a bit of my trademark, here is B. Barnes’ funeral…
I have a head canon about this art: let’s imagine for a second
that in in Captain America – The Winter Soldier, Steve never managed
to see Bucky’s face in the iconic “Who the hell is Bucky?” scene because
Bucky’s mask never fell from his face. Steve fights the Winter Soldier
as any other enemy, finally kills him in a pretty tough fight and it’s
only when the dead body of the Winter Soldier rests on the floor and that
he pulls off his mask that Steve realizes who he had just killed. Of
course, Steve will never forgive himself. I know, I know “Thank you,
Satan”. Your welcome, guys! Have a great day. 💗
And now, let’s kill Steve! I have a plan to draw his funeral too. Maybe a whole series ^^
Icarus laughed as he fell. Threw his head back and yelled into the winds, arms spread wide, teeth bared to the world.
(There is a bitter triumph in crashing when you should be soaring.)
The wax scorched his skin, ran blazing trails down his back, his thighs, his ankles, his feet. Feathers floated like prayers past his fingers, close enough to snatch back. Death breathed burning kisses against his shoulders, where the wings joined the harness. The sun painted everything in shades of gold.
(There is a certain beauty in setting the world on fire and watching from the centre of the flames.)
