TW: suicide, depression, anxiety Comfort characters are the fictional beings who pull us out of poor mental health. They whisper that we WILL be okay, that we need to get out of bed and get dressed and chase after life. In Rescue, I wanted to solidify this idea. Bucky Barnes is just one of the comfort characters I've held onto when struggling with my mental health. Some of us struggle with depression, anxiety, and/or suicidal thoughts. It's real, and that is tragic. Please note that it is not my intention to romanticize suicide, depression, or anxiety in this fan fiction. Rather, my hope is to use this story as a metaphor for the relief we find in people -- and stories. Rescue is set between Endgame and Wandavision. All characters beyond Ebony the Night Witch belong to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
