Description:

This is the full saga of the love shared between Sam Wilson (AKA The Falcon) and James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes (AKA The Winter Soldier). It spans the events of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," "Loki," "Venom: Let There Be Carnage," "Ms. Marvel," and finally, "Captain America: New World Order."

The passion between this dynamic duo blazes true, but can their relationship maintain steadiness in the rough and rocky waters that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Find out in this six-part Disney Miniseries.

Notes:

"The Walcon and the Finter Soldier" began as a disagreement I had between friends. Almost unanimously, they shipped Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America) with Bucky; but, especially in light of the T.V. show "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," I thought that shipping Sam and Bucky was a much better ship. Thus, inspired by the fics of aardvark_french and MenagerieOfDarkness, I took to writing "The Walcon and the Finter Soldier" on 2021-06-01 and privately shared the fic with my friends. Only in the spring of 2022 was I convinced to get an AO3 account to share this fic with the world. After an exceptionally long wait period, I finally fixed the tags and posted the fic on 2022-05-02.

However, Sucky's story would not end in but one fic. The idea took on a life of its own in the form of series of psuedo-crack fics. In the almost year between the initial writing fic and its posting on AO3, I had begun to get ideas for sequel fics. By the time I had posted the 1st installment, my ideas for the second installment were all but fully formed. In one day, I wrote and posted the fic (all but the last two installments would be written in 1-2 days and would be posted almost immediately after, with only minor edits following that). Having finished the second one, ideas for the 3rd and 4th came fast; but, with my studies in the Spring, it took until June and July 2022 to put them in writing and to post them. Luckily, as the MCU continued to churn out content, I drew upon ideas from the recently released Marvel movies and T.V. shows as well as the prospect of newly announced properties (like the 4th Captain America film, which has yet to be released as of completing this series).

The idea of the 5th installment being a collab-fic with aardvark_french came in June 2022, but between aardvark_french's epic Spider-Man Support Group fic and the 4th installment of this fic, it took over a month for the fic to come to fruition. aardvark_french wrote the first section, I wrote the second, and then we compared notes and admiration.

While the prospect of Sam and Bucky's relationship is limitless and their story timeless, the 6th installment seemed like a fitting way to wrap the series. All good things must come to an end. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the series, at least as much as this rambling history of it!

P.S. Each work in the series is relatively self-contained with the exception of "Captain America: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier"
