[ They'll deal with what got this going later - right now it's more important to keep Bucky grounded, to keep him in right now instead getting stuck in the past. It should say something about Sam, maybe, that this is where he feels more comfortable, more like maybe he can actually do something.
Because he's been where Bucky is now, because he still gets stuck there - granted, nothing even close to everything Bucky's been through - but he still knows flashbacks.
Sam reaches across their connection for him without even thinking about it. They've done this too many times, using their brood bond as a lifeline, and it's not a conscious decision that has him settling in it, even when Bucky tries to shut down.
Breathe with me travels across the connection, and Sam starts counting his own breathing - in to the count of seven, out to the count of eleven. ]
