Summary
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.
-from T.S. Eliot’s “The Naming of Cats”

Summary
"It’s just that you’ve been drinking. I don’t want to, you know, take advantage.” It’s only part of the truth. There are a dozen reasons to be scared of going after what he wants, but there are also a dozen reasons to go after what he wants, not the least of which is that Sam, hopefully, really wants him too.
“What if I don’t want to be alone tonight?”
“You won’t be. I’ll be here.”
“But I don’t want to sleep alone.” It’s flirtatious, but there’s a sorrow underlying the words as well, the kind that stirs up memories in Bucky.
It’s been a long time since Bucky felt equipped to take on another person’s burdens, the kind that can’t be easily fixed. And hell, it’s not as if they haven’t shared a bed before. Tonight just might involve a certain closeness, and if Bucky is being honest with himself, he’s missed the way Sam used to sling an arm around him, used to touch his shoulder or rub a reassuring hand over his back or neck.

Summary
For all of his struggles with not feeling human, this is the one that bothers Bucky the most. Fragile isn’t a word that he would use to describe Sam, but Bucky can’t tear his eyes away from the evidence that Sam is, nonetheless, breakable.

Summary
Her parents had always wanted her to play Chopin, Mozart, Vivaldi. And Hana had loved it until she realized that it was just a commodity, prestige for prestige’s sake that so many people valued, while Hana knew that the girl pretending to play piano keys in the pond was just like those composers, so full of music that they had to knit the notes together.

“You really don’t know about the Beatles?”
“Sam told me that white people stopped making music after 1953.”

Summary
Bucky is happy. Sam knows this, not just from what Bucky says but by the smiles he offers freely to the people he trusts, by the way he puts his arms around Sam and the way he relaxes in a chair, getting lost in a book.
But would he trade them if he could go back and avoid all the unimaginable hells he’s been through, the ones that still sometimes startle him awake at night?
