‘they say if you can’t sleep, it’s because you’re awake in someone else’s dream’ AU where this is scientifically proven to be true<\/p>\n

Steve has terrible insomnia after Bucky falls, only getting brief amounts of sleep. He doesn\u2019t realise it\u2019s because, amongst being found and operated on, Bucky\u2019s fevered dreams are of Steve coming to save him<\/p>\n

And there are times when Hydra can\u2019t get the Winter Soldier to sleep: they\u2019ll put him in cryo, but he\u2019ll be awake and aware, because Steve\u2019s frozen mind still dreams of him, and the life they could have had, even as he\u2019s buried in Arctic ice<\/p>\n

Steve\u2019s insomnia is only occasional, after he\u2019s thawed out – that\u2019s because the Winter Soldier only sometimes remembers him, occasionally dreaming of his laugh, or his smile, or his eyes, but not remembering him completely<\/p>\n

The sleeplessness comes back at full force, though, once Bucky\u2019s broken free: they dream of one another all the time, troubled by the fact they\u2019re apart, both lying awake on alternate nights as the other dreams of them – until finally, after decades, they don\u2019t sleep apart anymore<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
