Haha, no worries. I mean, I think it's a fair cop that the amputee stuff is not what I'm focusing on in Reciprocity, but there's so much going on in that story! no one could reasonably expect me to deal with amputation stuff too! everyone is there for the psychological trauma anyway.
(And that's actually true in this story I just finished, too. It's just that in historical fiction I can't straight up invent the details about the prosthetics they're using the way I could about Bucky's super powered metal death arm.)
You know, I don't think Bucky ever tells Steve a funny amputation story? He definitely makes jokes about the missing arm, but not the amputation itself. Maybe it was too traumatizing for him to turn into a funny story. Or maybe it's part of his more general reluctance, especially early on, to talk about his days with the Soviets.
...or maybe his arm got ripped off during the fall and even during his meanest moments Bucky realizes that Steve might actually break if Bucky makes jokes about falling off the train.
