Steve screws up, Bucky (or someone else) pep-talks him

What I really want right now are some fics where Steve makes a bad mistake--maybe it's the wrong call on a mission, or a brainwashing thing, or I dunno, an ABO dubcon thing or whatever--and feels terrible about it, and another character--preferably Bucky but I'll take others--forgives him and gets him back on track.

Please note that I do not want any darkfic where Steve acts cruelly but doesn't care. It's very important that he feel regret. (This request may or may not be my method of coping with a certain recent development in the Earth-616 continuity.)

As for the other character(s), they can be all comforting and understanding or they can take the drill-sergeant attitude of "Snap out of it, soldier, we've got work to do!" (kind of like we've seen Clint do for Wanda when she freezes up), I don't care which. The point is that they correctly gauge what Steve needs to hear to get him back to his normal tree-beside-a-river self.

Any ships are fine, just let me know what they are.


(P.S. How is "steve(remorseful)" its own tag? Am I about to discover a whole new subgenre, or what's the deal?)

Also stony, but very good too

Steve means well but he's a man from the past and while the world has marched on, Captain America has stayed

Non con behavior caused by different social expectations.
