    Summary

    “The President gave the order. He gets a pardon.”

    “An experimental pardon,” Val corrected. “And the President needs to look just as good as the rest of us. He’ll lean into that war hero image until the first disaster and poof! Tune changed. But guess who will get all of that blame?”

    “We have very advanced technology to ensure that won’t happen,” Ross said.

    “Thaddeus, Thaddeus,” she tutted. “That soldier has withstood every single torture method known to man. Chemicals, deprivation, solitary confinement. Literal brain injury! And he was barely kept in check. What do you think’s going to happen when he’s let loose? We can take bets on the number of casualties.”

    Maybe she’d said that last part a little too gleefully. In any case, Ross narrowed his eyes. “Do you have a suggestion?”

    ----------

    Bucky's pardon requires that he wear an artificially intelligent shock collar as a term of his release. Bucky accepts, knowing it's his only chance to get out and do some good in the world.

    Unfortunately, there are plenty of people ready to severely misuse that power.

    A retelling of TFATWS.

    Summary

    "Why not?" He challenges him. Sam shakes his head with a ungraceful smile. He lets out a huff and remains silent. "Why the hell not Sam?" He demands more forcefully this time. "What? Are you scared?"

    And that's all, he doesn't know if it was his tone or the challenge in his look, but that breaks him and sends everything to hell.

    "Because I don't want anyone to know that I'm dating you!" he yells in exasperation, he doesn't think twice about what he's saying.

    Or: The trauma over the death of Riley -Sam's old fiancé- does not allow him to move forward in his new relationship and Bucky is paying the consequences.
