#requiem for a heavyweight au

[kimannhart]

no one is probably awake for this but i have a sharon/sam idea i want to share!

okay so this originally was supposed to be a winteriron fic but i decided to change it to sharon/sam with background winteriron because of reasons (mainly i just want more sharon & sam content) and it’s basically an au of a playhouse 90 ep called requiem for a heavyweight (which you can watch here if u haven’t seen it—which i really recommend that u guys do bc it’s so good!!). 

but like it’s basically gonna be about sam who was this big boxer that is now at the end of his career (he lost his last fight to a new and younger boxer and his doctor was like dude u gotta stop boxing bc his next fight could possibly blind or even kill him), and sam’s like “what? but boxing is all i know!! i’ve been doing it since i was 18!!” and sam is like scare to do anything new. but eventually sam is like “fine, alright i’ll quit!” 

and so his cut man, bucky, takes him to an employment agency where he meets sharon, the worker who is trying to help sam transition careers. and bitch!! sam??? he’s a smitten fool when he mets and starts talking to sharon. sharon suggests that sam work with kids at like a summer camp. and then they end up going on a cute lil date a few days later and they’re v cute and shy with each other.

but then later sam’s manager, idk who yet—maybe rumlow????, finds out about sam trying to quit boxing and said manager gets mad and convinces sam to try professional wrestling. and then bucky finds out about this and tells sam that said manager has been betting against him in his fights and the only reason manager is so eager for sam to do wrestling is bc manager owes money to the mafia. and then sam gets pissed and ends up leaving (probably to go sulk in his apartment). 

bucky and tony then met up sharon and the three of them talk and at the end of their lil meet up bucky and tony give sharon a train ticket for her to give to sam. later sharon gives the ticket to sam and is like “you should go back home for a bit” and sam’s like “yeah, i’ll probably will. gotta get myself ready to help out with the kids this summer.” and then the two idiots smile at each other, kiss, sam leaves but comes back and finally gets together with sharon and they have the most beautiful wedding, have double dates with bucky and tony, and have the cutest kids!

requiem for a heavyweight au headcanons that no one but me asked for:

Bucky and Tony are the first ones to have kids, which surprises all of them since they all thought it would’ve been Sam and Sharon

Sam and Sharon don’t have a typical wedding foods at their wedding and opt to get a breakfast bar, and crêpe dude instead because they love breakfast

Sharon eventually quits her job at the job corps and joins Sam to work at the summer camp

Bucky and Tony end up buying the summer camp that Sam and Sharon work at one year when they learn that the original owners were planning on shutting down the camp, and Bucky and Tony gift the camp as a late wedding present to Sam and Sharon

Steve and Rhodey are single parents who always drop their kids off at the camp

Eventually Steve and Rhodey join their friend group

Sam, Sharon, Bucky, and Tony have a bet going on when Steve and Rhodey are finally going to admit when they have feelings for each other

after sam and sharon get married, tony and bucky literally have to toss them into the plane to go away and go on their honeymoon bc they hate the idea of leaving the summer camp kiddos alone for one year
