i honestly have no idea how you judge your fic but my fave captain america fics are the not easily conquered series - pretty canon divergent, as in steve survives ice crash but imo does a really good job of engaging with the canon events and reckoning with how his life would develop in that situation; and if they haven't learned your name - written before cap 3, so entirely canon divergent post-tws, very humorous, contains possibly my favorite natasha of any fic i've read
lmaoo anon are you in my walls bc guess what i just finished reading 😭 i had read the first part of not easily conquered the other day and had mixed feelings about it but this afternoon i was like fuck it i’ll try part 2 and that one was much better. jesus. i literally finished pt 3 not an hour ago and YEAH. still not entirely sure how on board i am with some of it but BOY did the angst hit. i was literally sat there for 100k words going ok so are they gonna get their soft fucking epilogue or not.
so based on that - brb gonna go read if they haven’t learned your name 🫡
#as for my taste in fic: it’s actually pretty specific but fuck if i can describe how#really what im looking for is a dialogue with canon#i think that’s the best way i can explain it#i want canon compliance/divergence/tweaks. like ‘captain america except they’re gay fr’ not ‘bucky barnes is a cheerleader with a twitter’#i read enough fucking college and coffeeshop and whatever other aus people pulled out of their ass when i was 16#i want something that’s well written (lol) and when it comes to fic that means the author has to walk a very delicate line#between indulgence and the kind of shit you get when it’s clear that the author is writing in order to pretend that their blorbos listen to#the same bands as they do. you know?#lmfao you all know exactly what im talking about im sure#i guess above all it just has to make me feel something and that something can’t be secondhand embarrassment or skepticism#asks
