koriandr:

over the years bucky has been consistently brought up in steve stories as the one mistake he made, a reminder that the great captain america fucked up, did his job less than perfectly, it pushed him to be better, to play by the rules a little less, but it was also reminder that he lost his best friend, his brother

bucky’s always been important to steve, he always will be important to steve but that DOES NOT MEAN THAT PEGGY CANNOT ALSO BE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO STEVE

peggy was the first woman that steve loved, so stop trying to shaft her importance in his life—am i pissed whedon couldn’t give bucky five seconds of flashback time in the avengers? yes, i am. but that’s no fucking reason to delegate peggy to second string.
