{Notes; The Winter Soldier: Cold Front 🛑 ❄️
12/15/24
1/14/25
- I started listening to *The Winter Soldier: Cold Front* and I got to ch5 and finally Bucky is here… and I’m cackling because he’s been running a smuggling ring for contraband ranging from sodas to candy to alcohol … he doesn’t know who he’s getting this stuff for either… bc this NERD devised a system via library books.
There’s a directory at the front of *War & Peace* b/c “I figured that nobody would be checking that out, it feels a little too ironic right now… so, say one of the boys wants a pack of Mike n Ike’s, they check the directory, see Mike n Ike’s are page 7, and they find their book, fold down the corner of page 7 and put it back on the cart to be reshelved. If you want 2 boxes you fold it twice.”
N E R D
I love him
I feel like I’m gonna be adding this book to my general background/history even tho it’s not really MCU complaint lolol
- oohh the commander he's in trouble w/ over this rn is apparently an old friend of his dad
- he just had a "you're not my REAL DAD" moment w/ him fjdsklfdj
he's still attempting to get into the Army at this point lolol
- "Your dad was just like you when we were young."
"He didn't turn out so bad!"
"No, he didn't. But he knew when to shut his mouth, a skill you haven't perfected yet."
OH BUDDY don't worry, he perfects it VERY WELL in the future 😭
- the ??????? REALLY?! of it all when this guy is like "You've really been running a whole contraband operation *out of the LIBRARY*?!" HAHAHA
Bucky like "see, you should let me in."
And he's like "...you're not old enough, stop it." LOL
- "And none of us ever knew???"
"It wasn't hard."
"We gotta find you a hobby."
- oh no oh no.... i think he's living with this commander friend of his dad's
yup
"legally his guardian"
A FATHER FIGURE IN MY MENTAL HISTORY after his dad died 😭
- he forged this man's signature in a document for legally dropping out of school

- fjdksaldj Bucky flirting with the girl at the soda shoppe in *Cold Front* and he's literally over here thinking *Oh, yeah, they'd definitely be getting to 2nd base in the alley behind Malikoff's tonight, maybe rounding 3rd if he swung right.* you horny little bastard teenager LOL
He's such a lil player, too. like there's at least 3 different girls in various situations that have been mentioned so far lmfao
*Why did knowing this was bait not make the trap any easier to sidestep? All his life, Bucky had been told to just ignore them, but that always felt too much like conceding.*
*His father had lectured him about battles and war and how sometimes, giving up a fight was the bravest thing a man could do, but Bucky had never believed it. He always had to trip every snare, pick every scab, touch his fingers to the burner even though he knew it was hot.*
- he's 16 in 1941 in this book, which is why his dad's old buddy, who is sort of a stand-in father figure (though Bucky keeps having *you're NOT my father!* moments about this man both to him directly and also to other ppl about him lmfaoooo) is like BIG SIGH about him trying to hard to get into the Army (i'm like "oh, so like MCU!Steve, minus the giant list of health issues, it's just no, son, you're too young!" lmfaooo)
- it's just funny b/c like I KNOW this as a part of him pre-war, and in his younger days in general, but we reeeeallyyyy don't see it much in the MCU at all so it's like... you horny bastard LOL
- op.... bucky's about to knock this mouthy lil shithead kid out i think lmfao
*He didn't think it was a hard swing. It wouldn't have wobbled the punching bag at camp, but when his fist connected with Johnny's eye, Johnny went flying backward like he was on a yanked wire.*

"He called me stupid!"
"Lots of people will. Pick your battles."
"I pick my battles!"
"Then you pick too many. Put some back."
Dying 🤣
- ohmygooood he ran his lil contraband ring in the library for almost a year HAHAHA
- i gotta see how this project he just got recruited for ties into TWS program, if it does at all, and then see how the rest of it unfolds but ohhhh boy this is getting fun
- Bucky already knowing Russian and learning German at 16 is a fun fact in this book
His family on his moms side is Russian do his mom taught them so he & Becks could talk to their grandma
And he was learning German from a Swiss delivery driver during that year of contraband running

{A letter written, but never sent or given | {CLOSED TO: Ship-partners that are given the link
You're looking for something. Something mostly inconsequential, maybe a pen or a piece of paper. You really aren't even trying to snoop. But when you pull open that junk drawer in the desk, something falls on the floor. Not finding what you seek, you lean down to pick up whatever fell so you can put it back, but something catches your eye on it. Curiosity rises and you decide it can't hurt to take a little peek. You two don't have secrets from each other anyway.
It's a letter.
Addressed to you.

Caitlin was a sickly child with desperate parents working on a cure for their daughter— an altered form of the super solider serum, the mutation of which gave her cryogenic abilities along with her newfound strength, durability and overall vitality.
Because of this, Caitlin is used as a companion to The Winter Soldier, frozen and reawakened alongside him through history. Each time he comes back with more memories of her than he should.
After the events of Civil War, on the run with more memories of her than anything else and evading HYDRA, Bucky tracks Caitlin down.

After taking the time after the events of Civil War to heal in Wakanda, Bucky meets up with Steve, Natasha, and Sam on the run.
During an undercover mission gone very wrong, Bucky and Sam end up captured and locked up— the problem? Besides the fact that their new prison seems virtually impenetrable at the moment, the temperature is dangerously low.
