Why this must be read:

As you might expect, a few people flipped out when Ed Brubaker reintroduced Captain America's sidekick, Bucky Barnes, who was supposed to have fallen off an exploding plane and died during WWII. Other people, like gloss, saw the crazy amount of story potential in Brubaker's retelling of Bucky's tale. War-time orphan, nails-tough teenager fighting for his country, bit of a discipline problem. Absolutely no choice but to work what he's got for what it's worth. This story does the same, unashamedly examining what it might be like for a young soldier who had to learn to fend for himself. Her Bucky prose, as always, is knowing and wary and cuts sharp.

Basic accounting arithmetic, that's how he operates. He's the only one who cares about James B. Barnes, so he'd damn well do the best job he can at that. He treats himself, then, whenever he can; what he likes is everything, and nothing, like what they call it.

Bit stumped by that as the link works for me, but maybe the site's down for a bit or something. :( Try the fic on lj (http://glossing.livejournal.com/301591.html?mode=reply)?
