Well You're A Pretty Dame | BUCKY BARNES

Letters

slight cw for mention of gruesome injuries

February 4th, 1943.

Dear Mary,

I hope this letter reaches you in due haste, I'd be nice to have someone to talk to this time around, I can't imagine you've heard the news yet, yesterday the Four Chaplains were drowned by the Germans, remember how I told you about Lieutenant Alexander Goode? He's gone now, hard to believe I'll never hear his voice again, we've all lost so many fighting this war, makes me wonder when it will all be over, when will it end? And will it be worth it?
Anyway, how are you? I heard about your sister, Mary I'm so sorry. . .
Hopefully you'll write back with some good news.
I've got to go now, but I look forward to your letter.

Cordially yours, Bucky.

Dear Bucky,

I'm terribly sorry to hear about Mr. Goode, I read about him in the news yesterday, and as for my sister. . . May god rest her soul, it does indeed seem rather pointless, this war, but fear not, I have a feeling we're only a step away from defeating the Germans, or as you once so delightfully put it, "We are going kick some nazi ass."
And while I remain hopeful, things aren't looking up here, there's dozens of men coming in here with the most gruesome of injuries, women too, just this morning I saw a man with both his legs bombed off, unfortunately he didn't make it. This war better end soon, we're losing too many men, far too many, too many fathers, brothers, sons and uncles, it's terrible, I wish there was something more I could do.

Until your next letter, all my love,
Mary.

Dear Mary,

I'm sorry to hear you had to witness such things, it's not something a fair lady such as yourself should have to put up with, and trust me, you are doing so much to help this war, and it will end soon, I can feel it.

Be careful and stay safe, Bucky.

Dear Bucky,

This 'fair lady' is handling herself quite fine thank you very much; but don't worry, I don't mind, I have little time too, but any time speaking or writing to you is something I find precious, whether it be frequent or not.
And of course I'm staying safe, I should be the one telling you to stay safe, I worry about you, I can't tell much through paper and pen, but you seem distant, know that you can always talk to me love, it must be hard out there watching so many innocent fall to their death, you can trust me.

Stay safe, Mary.

Dear Mary,

I know you can handle yourself darling, it's one of the many things I love about you, I just worry is all -- and thank you for your care, Mary, but I can assure you I'm fine, pardon if I'm being rushed, I don't have much time, my friend has gotten into some trouble, you remember I told you about Steve right? I'll inform you more at a later date.

All my love, and stay safe, Bucky.

Mary.

Ugh shitty and short I know, but it was taking far to long with all my research, so I decided to just go for it, also it's 1AM, oops?
I hope it was at the very least tolerable, all my love, byeeee x.
