#captain america and the winter soldier tf

[rainbowsuitcase]

Finished the second season of What If and I need to say something about Peggy.

I feel like her story isn't really "What if Peggy Carter was Captain America" but more "What if Captain America was a woman." I feel like if they put a random female character into that suit, the story would have stayed the same.

Because Peggy doesn't really have a character. She's a badass woman. She's a strong female character who can get by on her own and yay! Feminism!

Sure.

She's not a character, she's an archetype. And given what archetype she is, I was honestly surprised that they kept tying her back to Steve. Even in the actually alternate storylines of the last two episodes, they kept bringing up Steve and tying her motivations back to him. Everything we learn about Captain Carter is somehow connected to Steve.

If Steve doesn't exist, her story doesn't really work. Her character exists to be a badass independent female superhero and the creators couldn't even do that right.

The creators keep shoving her and Steve together like a little kid playing with dolls and I need them to find new toys to play with, because these ones are old and worn down and broken.

You broke it, you don't get to play with it anymore!

[sad-not-glad]

I’m really exposing myself here but this idea has been stuck in my head so here you go.

It’s been several years since Alpha! Steve returned home with his precious mate, Omega! Bucky in tow. Despite the time that’s passed, he’s still super quiet and reserved. Barely speaks, skittish, disappears at the first sign of conflict. Everyone assumes it’s just lingering trauma, instincts providing safety for the broken omega.

What they don’t know is how much he actually lingers around. Hiding behind corners and in overlooked spots of the room. Over time he becomes a little more bold. Joining meals that he never spoke at, attending movie nights he seemingly never payed attention to. Instead he spends his time watching these new people in his life. The family Steve had found in his absence. He watches the way they treat his Alpha, the way they eventually treat him. Once their apprehension is gone. He never really reciprocates in their little friendly gestures, but he accepts them. And that’s how it is for a long time. Peaceful, a silent understanding between the group and the Omega. They were kind to him, and he made sure to attend their get together at the very least.

But things keep going missing.

Tony’s favorite coffee cup, Natasha’s blanket she left on the couch, even the astrophysics book Bruce had bought for himself. All gone. Vanished in an instant, seemingly. And nobody knows how it keeps happening. At an increasing rate too. It spreads to more ridiculous things. Like a frying pan or the dirty sweater someone tossed on the couch. Only the left shoe from a pair, the laces off another. Still nobody knows what tf is going on.

Unrelated, Bucky finally feels more comfortable around them. Comfortable enough to make Steve offer to cook brunch for the entire team, that Sunday. Of course he was still hiding when the message was delivered, but it was received well all the same. It’s a big deal, considering who the offer is coming from. Nearly everyone gathers together before heading to the mates assigned floor.

The first thing noticed in the pile of odd shoes by the elevator. Sam’s coat on the wall, that wasn’t so bad. But the closer they came to the kitchen the worse it got.

Nat’s missing blanket tossed casually over the couch, Thor’s floppy bunny slippers on the floor nearby. A multitude of science books and missing studies laying on the tables.

And when they finally enter the kitchen, guess who is finishing the eggs with the missing frying pan?

Bucky Fucking Barnes.

The former winter soldier, Captain America’s Omega himself, standing there with a shit eating grin and he sips from Tony’s favorite mug. Steve innocently helping nearby, pretending like he didn’t help cover for his Omega on multiple occasions. It’s the best brunch they ever have, and nobody ever gets their things back.

Now f you can transform these actors into a different actor, who will you transform each of them into?

Matt Bomer, Hugh Jackman, Sebastian Stan

Let's see I usually like doing people that have a sort of connection to the person I’m transforming.

Starting with Matt Bomer, I’m not too familiar with his work but since he was in Magic Mike I guess I'll turn him into Channing Tatum. I’m sure he and his husband would enjoy his new body if he retains his sexuality

Next up we have Hugh Jackman I had a few options for him. i was originally considering Ryan Reynolds but since I love old man tfs I decided I'd swap his body with Sir Patrick Stewart. I know one of them would definitely enjoy this.

Last but least we have Sebastian Stan this one was the most obvious. Turning the Winter Soldier into Captain America so I'm picking Chris Evans.

Definitely some interesting choices thanks for the ask.

Update & Marvel Frat Boy Story Commission

Hey everyone! So I've been incredibly busy, which is why I haven't been so active on here lately. I've been writing a book 👀 Not a TF book, but if this goes well then something like that could be next! However, that has prevented me from writing much TF stuff even though I have a lot of fun ideas. In the meantime, I commissioned @writer-ofstuff to write a sequel to this story about Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man being exposed to a gas that turns them into frat bros. I've attached that story below, so I hope you enjoy!

Bucky is worried about Steve. It wasn't like his friend to not answer his messages this long. He knew Steve had some sort of meeting at Stark Tower. He told Bucky as much in his last message to him. Followed up with him saying he'd see Bucky later. That was almost four days ago, and Bucky has had radio silence from Steve since.

Bucky at first thought the Avengers had been summoned for some kind of mission. However he had checked with Sam, and Sam hadn't heard of anything either. This is what prompted Bucky to go to Stark Tower himself to see if he can figure out where Steve is.

He was a little apprehensive since he and Tony don't have a good relationship. Given what Bucky had done to Tony's parents when he was brainwashed, it was understandable for Tony not to want to be around Bucky.

Bucky takes a deep breath and enters through the front doors of Stark Tower. Reaching the elevator he startles when he hears this strange swoosh noise coming a few feet behind him. A man steps through the portal that had appeared there. The man is wearing unique attire with a red cape that Bucky swears moves on its own as if it waved at him. But surely that was just the uptick of wind from the portal as it closed behind the man.

"Are you here for someone as well?" The man asks.

"I'm looking for my friend. Steve Rogers." Bucky answers.

"Ah, Captain America's friend. The Winter Soldier, correct?" the man then asks.

Bucky recoils a little at the name, a few flashes of the awful things he had done under that name. But he is quick to compose himself.

"Bucky is fine." He tells the guy.

"Dr. Stephen Strange." The guy introduces.

'Oh so this is the sorcerer guy Steve talked about.' Bucky thinks to himself.

That should have been an easy guess given the guy's flashy entrance. 

"So why are you here?" Bucky asks.

"Stark was supposed to contact me the other day needing my assistance with something." Dr. Strange continues."But I was dealing with a prior engagement and couldn't answer his call. After a few days of nothing I decided to check in and see what he needed myself."

Bucky makes a noise of acknowledgement in reply, since he isn't sure what to say to that. It does make him question if something had happened to them then, since Tony had contacted Dr. Strange around the time Steve had come here. The elevator doors open and Bucky goes to step inside. But Dr. Strange stops him before he can. 

"No need for that. I have a faster way to get to the top,” He says. 

Dr. Strange opens another portal, the orange circle showing the upper floor of Stark Tower in its center.

"Why didn't you teleport yourself there first instead of the main lobby?" Bucky can't help but ask.

He and Dr. Strange step through the portal to the upper floor of Stark Tower. Before Dr. Strange can explain his reasoning, both men pause at the mess they find on the top floor of the tower.

"Jeez it looks like someone threw a party up here." Dr. Strange says.

It’s true, the place was a mess with cans of soda, beer, and pizza boxes. Not to mention work out equipment was also strung around the room, as well as some dirty clothing.

"I haven't seen a room this messy since I had to visit the frat house at my college." Dr. Strange notes.

"I wonder who made this mess, and where Steve and the others are." Bucky says.

It’s perplexing since Steve wasn't the type to make such a mess. He doesn't know Tony well, but he assumes that Tony wouldn't want his place this junked up. Thor, from what Bucky had been told, would seem to be the one to make such a mess like this. But the question is, did he do this or was it someone else's handiwork?

It is baffling to say the least, and it leaves Bucky still confused as to where Steve is. He is lost in his thoughts as he surveys the room, seeing if he can't find any sort of clues. He pauses when he sees something emitting from one of the air vents. 

It looks like a plume of gas? But it is this sorta vibrant almost neon color which he has never seen. He does know of course that it could be dangerous, and he is already moving toward the door, shouting for Dr. Strange that they need to get out of there.

However more of the gas somehow makes its way to the entrance and blocks it, leaving the two man trapped in the room with the unknown gas.

"I got this,” Dr. Strange says with confidence. 

He moves his hands, doing a few characters with them as two portals then open up in front of and behind him and Bucky. A wind current sucks the gas into the portals and moments later, the gas is cleared from the room before it could reach either man. 

“Impressive, huh bro?" Dr. Strange says as he looks at Bucky.

"Did you just call me bro?" Bucky asks. 

He doesn't know Strange, but he seemed the type of man not to have the word “bro” in his vocabulary. Dr. Strange looks just as confused as Bucky.

"Yeah, I don't know why though." He mutters.

"No big deal my dude." Bucky blurts without thinking. 

He pauses when he hears what he just said. Dr. Strange gives him a similar look. 

"Bro, what's up with how we're talkin’ man?" Bucky says. 

“Somethin' ain't right here dude." Dr. Strange says. 

He looks angry over how he’s talking. It’s clear that neither man can control how they speak. 

"Ugh. This is infiera.. infirea… this is fucking dumb!" Dr. Strange settles on saying. It becomes clear he couldn't pronounce the word he wanted to say.

Bucky agrees, it must have been that weird gas they got rid of. That was the only explanation on what could make them talk like a pair of douchebag dude bros. 

Bucky wants to suggest they get out of here, but his head starts to ache. He feels himself sway on his feet. He doesn't understand why he’s feeling so airheaded. It is so hard to focus his thoughts on what to do exactly in this situation. 

Bucky is so caught up with his thoughts he doesn't notice the way his body is steadily altering underneath his clothing. His muscles are losing some bulk to them, to become a lot more defined, showing a body he has gained through workouts rather than intense training. 

The scars from various fights slowly fade to unblemished skin. The most drastic change he undergoes, which makes him take notice, is his arm. The vibranium arm slowly attaches more to Bucky's torso. The metal softens while it gradually turns into a real arm. Bucky looks at his now real arm, clenching and unclenching his fist, staring at it in astonishment.

"Bro, my arm." He says softly.

"Uhh yeah man, that's your arm. Now can we focus here?" Dr. Strange snaps.

"Huh? Focus on what?" Bucky asks, a little dumbfounded about what his friend means.

Stephen opens and closes his mouth, a frown forming on his face. 

"I don't remember,” he says.

That makes both men erupt in laughter. Bucky points out the outfit his friend is wearing.

"Dude, a bit earlier for Halloween yeah?" He asks.

"I don't know what this getup even is man,” Stephen admits.

He strips out of his clothing, getting down to just his briefs. Now that he is mostly naked, it’s easy to see how his body too has gained some muscle on it, as well as a decent amount of body hair spread along his upper torso. Stephen runs his hand over his chest absent-mindedly. 

The gray hairs in his hair and goatee regain his natural hair color. His mature face smooths away any wrinkles the Sorcerer Supreme had, giving him a more youthful look of a man in his twenties. Stephen's goatee starts to shave down, a heavy five o'clock shadow spreading along his jaw and his cheeks, while Stephen's hair shrinks back into his scalp a good bit, leaving the former Sorcerer Supreme with a buzz style haircut. 

Bucky watches Stephen's changes with a strange fascination. He wants to speak up and warn his bro what was going on, yet all he can do is watch the transformation unfold. Being distracted like he is by Stephen, Bucky fails to notice how his own changes are progressing. 

He shrinks a few inches in height, his own torso itching as bristles of dark colored hair sprout along his formerly clean shaven torso. The pelt of body hair is much thicker than Stephen's. Bucky's scruff also grows denser until he sports a well trimmed beard. His face then smooths over any wrinkles and signs of aging to give him a more youthful look. Bucky now looks like a man in his twenties, just like Stephen. 

The two men crack lopsided smiles at each other while their minds quickly alter, Stephen forgetting his training and everything he accomplished as a top surgeon as well as the Sorcerer Supreme. Bucky forgets his past trauma from being tortured and used as a killing machine. The two young men have a fresh start as their new selves as the gas's effects dwindle down to completion. 

"Bro, where do you think Steve and the others are?" Bucky asks.

"Miss your boyfriend already?" Stephen teases.

Bucky gives him a playful shove, the two rough housing as the doors open and their bros came waltzing in.

"There you two are."

"Was wondering where you two slowpokes had gone off too."

"Yeah bros, you missed a hell of a party!” Steve was the last to say, coming up to stand beside his bro Bucky. Stephen meanwhile joins Thor and Tony. The three talk about the next game while Steve and Bucky do their own thing.

None of the frat brothers notice the computer in the back of the room, the screen being covered up in discarded clothing that hid the blinking incoming message icon.

Bc it’s the 10 year anniversary of CATWS, I just have to tell all of you what it was like for me when I watched it the first time.

Let me just say, I didn’t watch CATWS until summer 2021 and the way I watched the mcu as a whole was completely out of order. So for back story, I watched TFA when I was like 10 or something, tbh didn’t remember much of it all I knew was the important part of small guy got big by science, fell in love, got frozen in the end. And I watched Ant-Man in theatres when I was like 14 (edit: I was definitely not 14, I was 12 my bad, anyways 👀) so I knew Sam from that.

But I watched endgame when it first came out and loved it and by 2021 I’d probably watched it about 5 or 6 times. Like literally I had watched it a million damn times, and as far as it goes with Steve and Sam as I was like “cool, flying guy from ant-man is Captain America now, ig they’re friends. Good for Steve for lifting mjolnir and turning into Joe Biden.”

So back to 2021, I was trying to catch up on the mcu (thanks to wandavision and Loki) so i decided to watch CATWS. And you know, that gave the back ground info of “ohhh so Steve and Sam are besties okay.”

But that’s the least relevant part, bc let me tell y’all, I was so fucking confused and annoyed for like majority of the movie. Because despite having watched TFA, Infinity War, and Endgame, I had no fucking clue who Bucky was. Like literally out of all the times I’d watched those movies, I had no memory of being in any of them. Like I stg his presence in endgame is my personal Mandela effect bc that man WAS NOT THERE FOR ME.

So ofc, for majority of CATWS, I was so fucking annoyed bc they kept bringing up Bucky and how he was Steve’s dead best friend. And I was like “who tf is this? I don’t give a fuck about this dead bitch.” And I was pissed bc I was like “why do they keep bringing up this random ass dead guy as if we’re supposed to know who that is or care about him, like just shut up about Bucky.” I dead ass thought he was just some random ass character they suddenly made up for Steve’s backstory during this movie.

Then I was gagged. The winter soldier mask came off and I was like “ohhhhh that’s why they keep talking about him” but then also I was like:

“I clearly missed a few steps bc how did we get here?” So I had to pause the movie and google Bucky, only to discover he’s not irrelevant or someone random they just threw into the plot, and I had in fact watched several movies with him in it.

And basically that’s how we got here: me having an unhealthy obsession with and fanpage dedicated to the “irrelevant dead bitch”. So yeah, deepest apologies to Bucky.

[wndaswife]

now why tf were steve and bucky not a real thing

like it just seems like captain america and the winter soldier set them up to be together… peggy telling steve that he needs to move on and live his life, and steve saying it’s been so hard to meet people with the same life experiences then suddenly his best friend just happens to be alive too

and how seeing steve after 50 years completely fucked bucky up and he couldn’t stop thinking of him

[fandom-friday]

I would like to #Fandom Friday recommend these two stories by @btwxsixesandsevens (@Sixes_and_Sevens on AO3)

Star Wars

Opals for Roses

Relationship: Jannah/Rose Tico

A lovely Star Wars one shot featuring Jannah, a former First Order Stormtrooper, and Mechanical Engineer Rose Tico (tragically under-written and barely explored characters that, if given a TV series, I would watch TF out of it) and the relationship they’re building while being part of the Resistance.

I rooted for them and wanted to see more in the movies, and was disappointed, though I’m happy Rose showed up in the third installment, so GFYS Haters. Kick rocks. Rose is canon.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/29243919

* * * * * * * * * *

Marvel

Why Don’t You Do Right

Relationships: Sam Wilson & Bucky Barnes | Bucky Barnes & Sharon Carter (Power Broker & CIA Agent) | Sarah Wilson/Bucky Barnes

I love Sam Wilson (yes, Captain America) filling Bucky in with some much needed information about the woman he’s now dating, Sarah Wilson. (Yes, Sam’s sister, who we met in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.) Bucky thinks he knows Sarah by now, but finds out that he thought he knew.

The way the story explores Bucky’s thoughts on this personal mission to keep a promise, and the mission’s aftermath is compelling and makes you definitely have ideas about a character we see rather briefly in the TV series: Sarah.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32468206/chapters/80516656#workskin

HELL YEAH FOR ROSE TICO AND JANNAH. AND HELL YEAH FOR THE "LESBIANS IN SPACE TAG". And honestly, I LOOOOOVE how @btwxsixesandsevens writes Sarah and Bucky, so this second fic has me practically making grabby hands at it. These both sound WONDERFUL and THANK YOU so much for sending them in!

Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

Bro I saw Captain America Winter Soldier when I was 11…I’ve never recovered since then like….. this man was so fine for what??? And then I forgot about him for like a few years, and then he returned as Ari fucking Levinson. LIKE SIRRR???! And then he just…idk. Andy happened🤷🏻‍♀️

LITERALLYYYY 😭😭😭

I watched the avengers when i was 12 and that boxing scene???? 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 the way i was in love on the SPOT like he was soooo fine??!? then he was still hot for years to come and then i entered the fandom and discovered Ari and was blown tf away with how hotter he got like his hotness knew no bounds BUT THEN we hit a plateau called andy barber 😢 then he resurrected for a second during some of the press early to mid last year… it wasn’t the same but it was still good 😌😌 but ever since the sexiest man alive photoshoot he just… hasn’t hit the same 😔😔😔😔 OH WELL

[mikeslawyer]

I think that a byler au where Will is the winter soldier and mike is captain America would be good for us as a society and I don’t really even like the mcu but yeah. Like vecna/the lab (hydra) steals will’s memories and makes him kill people and mike is like omg Will? And will’s like who tf is Will bitch. And mikes like 😧😧 I’m gonna commit so many crimes to save you our love literally transcends time and space

just so you know i took a screenshot of it and i’ll literally watch captain america breaking my rule of not watching mcu just to write it. you will get it i promise

[xiaoluclair]

rules: post 10 of your favorite movies and tag 10 people.

@carronyaflowers i feel fuzzy you thought of me, thank you dear 🌺💛🌹 . i have not checked who has already done it but tagging @art-emi-s @cupidskissx @f-ferrari-forever @sennaverstappen @mv-one @leclercpiastri @milfalonso @reigningmax @drivestraight @noelleidle @sunshine-5eb 💙

in no particular order:

om shanti om — if you haven’t heard of this movie, i can only presume you live in an oil-seasoned fried potato or you were conceived two weeks ago.

tenet — dawg even the title is one of the best details. ten minutes forward - ten minutes back

the princess and the frog — the nostalgia (early teens – present day)

x-men: first class — we will fight them on the beaches (derogatory), goddamn i love these peaches (affectionate).

white chicks — witty, well–executed, hits every single note you could want, and would cause rotten eggs (280 character riots) to be thrown in the streets (twitter) if made and released in today’s society. truly s–tier.

little miss sunshine — there isn’t a better well–rounded soft–core movie out there. it has everything: road trip, death, toxic mentalities, dancing, body image, homosexuality, suicide, ice cream.

the deadpools — fourth wall breaks, a very bent main main character person, and decisions i don’t yell at the screen for (kill the raging adult, save the raging kid – sympathy is for the weak, children could make you good money one day).

captain america: the winter soldier — the movie that makes me believe in a better marvel. flesh on flesh fight scenes, soundtrack (i'll admit it's not httyd level score but it's very fitting), relationship developments (CHILDHOOD LOVERS TO WHATEVER TF THIS IS HELLOOO), and excellente pace. and there is P L O T.

star trek aos (2009) — 🚨🌈 if you want one of the greatest enemies to lovers sci fi futuristic stories, say no more. they’re literally the only two people mentioned in every summary of the film because they’re joint–protagonists of lurvvv. they truly did stay true to the og and using a BLACKHOLE to still plant their plot apart from said og?? you gotta respect that. (i get very Unwell over this if it wasn’t clear.)

3 idiots — “maybe cinema can't save lives. but cinema, sure as hell, can make you feel life is worth living.”

[okurrroye]

Bucky’s whole no one disrespects my husband Samuel Thomas Wilson but me throughout the whole show is what I live for

Don't cry it's just a movie!

Still waiting for the fifth...

My hopes for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

I’m been looking forward to this show ever since it was announced years ago, more than any other marvel content!!! based on the trailers so far, it looks AMAZING, and definitely captures Anthony and Seb’s dynamic. But here’s what I hope the show brings (so I can look like a clown if marvel inevitably disappoints me)

- RESPECT SAM WILSON!!! This is his time to shine and i want ALL the backstory and character development! Here’s marvel’s chance to go beyond just hilarious quips and action moments, and dive into his backstory and character. I want to see his journey has he takes up the Cap mantel, I want to hear more about his family and Riley, I want to see him get an amazing arc. AND they need to do this while not falling into any antiblack tropes, and maybe acknowledging the racism he would face as Cap

- Don’t erase Bucky’s trauma! Other fans and I have been waiting for YEARS for Bucky to get more screentime, and now that he has a show, I don’t want them to pretend his trauma never happened because he got stuck in a freezer for a while. Let him have EMOTIONS, let us find about more about his history as the winter soldier and before, let him reminisce about memories with Steve and struggle with the aftermath of what Hydra did to him. I’m really happy that this show has a lighter tone, but i don’t want to see him be a Generic Action Man

- Please no Sharon/Bucky. If they do Sharon/Sam, I can live with that, but Sharon/Bucky would be pretty weird, considering how he knew Peggy as well. Honestly I hope she isn’t a love interest to either of them, considering she’s also Steve’s ex

- Just. Let Sam and Bucky have softer moments. Let them both reflect on the loss they’ve both been through, and have honest, emotional conversations with each other. God forbid Marvel let their characters show real vulnerability

[omgtheyklledme]

A typical convo between Bucky and Steve
