SamBucky Summer Bingo 2024

The @sambuckylibrary will be holding a Summer Bingo! The event will start on June 1st and run until August 31st. During that time, we will be reblogging and sharing the work you guys create here on our blog.

You can post fanfiction, art, fic rec lists, comments, moodboards, podfics, edits, etc. It’ll be a low-stakes event. No need to sign up. Just remember to tag @sambuckylibrary in your post for each fill, and we will be tracking #sbsummer2024 for reblogs.

If you are posting on AO3, please add it to the SamBucky Summer Bingo 2024 Collection.

The Bingo Cards are:

There are also badges for each fill. For those badges, as well as the FAQ and rules, check the information under “keep reading”.

FAQ

What is this?

It’s a SamBucky bingo event.

Is there any pressure?

No pressure at all. Fill one prompt. Fill all the prompts on every bingo card. Do however many you please.

Can I fill more than one prompt with one piece of art/one fic?

Yes! You can fill one prompt with one piece of art or fic. You can try to fill all nine prompts on the card at once with one piece of art or fic. If you can fill every single prompt from every single bingo card in one fill, that’d be wild but it’s okay by the rules. You can do any number in between.

Are there any prizes for making anything for this event?

Just the satisfaction that you made something cool.

Is it just SamBucky?

Yes please, just SamBucky. There can be side ships, but the main ship should be SamBucky.

How long will this event run?

It will run from June 1st and run until August 31st.

I heard there are badges I can use for each fill?

There are! Here they are:

1) Vacation Bingo Badges

2) Mission Bingo Badges

3) Loving Bingo Badges

RULES AND GUIDELINES

What are the guidelines for the bingo?

I will be borrowing some of this from the MYSU Valentine’s Day Bingo 2022 Guidelines, since they were fantastic.

For Everyone:

1. Remember to @sambuckylibrary in the post as well as #sbsummer2024.

2. Please also tag the prompt you’re filling (for instance, if the square is “Redwing”, use “#redwing” as one of your tags when posting about it on Tumblr).

3. If you’re uploading to AO3, please:

a ) Say somewhere which prompt you’re filling.

b ) Add it to SamBucky Summer Bingo 2024 (SamBucky_Summer_Bingo_2024).

For Artists:

1. Create at least one piece of new art that can’t have been posted anywhere else before this.

2. All visual art forms are welcome:

a ) Gifsets, at least 3 gifs.

b ) Aesthetic boards or moodboards, at least 4 images each.

c ) Drawing/painting, that is not a sketch.

d) Fan video.

e) Graphics edit.

For Authors:

1. At least 500 words.

2. Posted on Tumblr or AO3.

3. Can be part of a series, but should work as a standalone.

For Podficcers:

1. The podfic should at least be 5 minutes long.

2. It should be posted on either Tumblr or AO3.

3. The podfic can be of a fic made for the event, a fic not made for the event while still adhering to the prompt, or a notfic.

For Fic Rec Lists:

1. You must have at least three fics or podfics on the rec list.

2. Make sure to give brief descriptions of the fics or podfics as well as their rating and wordcount.

For Commenters:

1. Any amount of comment counts, from a heart emoji (“❤️”) to an essay.

2. We would rather this be about what makes you happy and joyful about reading than any scathing critiques.

Things to be mindful of when creating:

For Sam

Avoid framing Sam only as a caretaker or emotional support for Bucky. Be mindful of Sam acting angry or aggressive in an out-of-character way and falling into the angry/sassy Black man trope (check out the MCU source material to help with character traits).

Avoid decentering Sam as a main character and refrain from focusing entirely on Bucky.

In art: avoid whitewashing Sam’s skin and research drawing Black characters.

General disclaimer: Race affects every aspect of his life, including interacting with police/government and the white structures of the world when it comes to performing his duties as Cap and simply being a Black man that lives in the U.S.

For Bucky

Avoid phrasing “flesh/normal/human hand” to refer to the contrast between his prosthetic arm and his right arm. The phrasing is ableist. You can simply refer to his prosthesis when relevant, otherwise use “right/left arm/hand”.

For more information, please check out this document suggested by @ninesdb on how to write Bucky as an amputee. @ninesdb is also open to questions if you have any queries not answered by the google doc.

Specific Tags:

Avoid tags in AO3 like “Sam Wilson is a Gift”, “Sam Wilson is a Saint”, and “Bucky Needs a Hug”.

Have fun and we look forward to your Summer Bingo fics!

WHO WANTS TO JOIN OUR PODBID?

@elektraking and I are making a podbid! We're bidding on the onemorelove podfic auction. Our goal is to possibly get one of my fanfics made into a podfic. Want to join us? The more the merrier 😆 And if you join us, you'll also have a say in which fic we'll get podficced! Ever wanted to hear someone podfic:

Bucky By Night, a SamBucky Radioshow AU where Bucky's a radioshow host and Sam is an insomniac who calls in

My Best Friend's Brother, a SamBucky No Powers AU where Sam is a med student taking a semester off and Bucky's a novelist and the older brother to Sam's best friend, Becca

That's My Cat!, where Sam and Bucky think they have they might have the same cat

How Had He Not Seen It Sooner? , a hurt/comfort fic where Bucky has a bi realization after Sam gets hospitalized and they get together

The Novelty Pumpkin Proposal, A No Powers AU where Sam and Bucky are enemies to lovers neighbors who also grow veggies?

Kind of a Big Deal, A No Powers AU where Sam and Bucky are neighbors, best friends to lovers, and realize they love each other during Passover (aka my Passover romcom)

He Sure Ain't the Boy I've Been Dreaming of (But He's Sure the Boy I Love) , my SamBucky bittersweet time travel fic?

One of those or maybe one of my other fics in the podfic range could be the one we choose!

If you'd like to join us, please, DM either @elektraking or myself!

[Podfic] must’ve been a deadly kiss (only love can hurt like this)

Mature - MCD - 27 Mins

Author's Original Summary:

Sam imagined wedding planning was already stressful enough without fighting bad guys on a regular basis. As it was, Sam was Captain America, and he had a job to do. He also had a very disgruntled fiancé who followed him wherever he went.

Ooh the real writer asks! 💫💞🎙️💌 and a high five for making it to friday as well :)

Thank you so much for the asks, brigit!!! Questions are from this ask meme. We made it. <3<3<3 💫 What is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

I love all kinds of comments, from keyboard smashes to protracted screams to strings of emojis, but I have a special place in my heart for comments that point to particular moments in the fic and describe the things they found striking or moving or thought-provoking about them. I often spend a very long time fiddling with fics on the sentence level and crafting particular images, and it means a lot to hear when that has caught someone's eye. 💞 What's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language

I think the most important part of a story for me is the discovery: a fic works when writing it allows me to learn something new (about the characters, about the craft of writing, about the nature of a particular experience, etc.). Sometimes that happens while writing an exchange of dialogue that reveals something about a character's motivation or interiority. Sometimes it happens when I experiment with a simile that makes a connection visible that I hadn't noticed before. But generally I write until I find it (that thing I didn't know I was looking for), and then that helps me figure out how to arrange the other pieces. 🎙️ Which one of your fics would you like someone to make a pod-fic of?

I have never had a podfic, and I would be delighted to have one for any of my fics, but I think the Sambucky fic Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice (a.k.a. the Belligerent Coffeeshop AU) would be a particularly fun one. I tried some different things with focalization in that story, so there are more variations in voice (and jokes!) than some of my other work. 💌 Share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

Oh god. So I have been working on the Codywan Pirate AU for such a long, long time at this point, but I'm getting into some of the climactic moments now, and I'm excited (and nervous) for a surprise spicy scene that I didn't know was going to happen when I started writing.

1. when i die i’ll sacrifice (more than enough for the afterlife) by notcaycepollard

when i die i’ll sacrifice (more than enough for the afterlife) - notcaycepollard - Captain America (Movies) [Archive of Our Own]

The fall is longer than Natasha expects.

It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.

---

main ship: Maria Hill/Natasha Romanov, James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers

Oh my, Oh my, a kind of fix-it fic in which Natasha doesn't die but travels back in time and tries to make everything better. An absolute comfort fic for me. Quietnight has also recorded a really great podfic. Listen to it too!

the podfic: [Podfic] when i die i’ll sacrifice (more than enough for the afterlife) - quietnight - Captain America (Movies) [Archive of Our Own]

2. I'll explain everything to the geese by napricot

I'll explain everything to the geese - Chapter 1 - napricot - Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]

Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.

It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

---

main ship: James "Bucky" Barnes/Sam Wilson

I love SamBucky fic where Bucky is competent and has a lot of skills. The fic is very humorous and well written. It's about lots of talking birds and a rather smitten Sam. Be sure to check out napricot's profile. Quietnight has also recorded a great podfic, check it out too:

podfic:[Podfic] I'll explain everything to the geese - Chapter 1 - quietnight - Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]

3. ain't really quaint by quietnight, silentwalrus

ain't really quaint - Chapter 1 - quietnight, silentwalrus - Captain America - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Natasha stops by on a Tuesday, early enough in the morning that it would have been late by Steve’s old standards. Now, though, it takes him nearly three minutes just to limp to the door, yawning, and when he opens it he has to lean heavily on the doorframe.

“Hi,” Natasha says, over the beginnings of birdsong. She’s not alone. “Can we come in?”

---

Main Ship: Steve Rogers/James "Bucky" Barnes 

You want a funny fic with comic accurate, Bucky Barnes, an absolute troll Steve Rogers (Who pretends to be a farmer?) Then you've come to the right place! Bucky is kind of a shy animal and Steve makes it harder for him than it should be. (In a funny way.)There's a great podfic from Quietnight here too (can you tell I love Quietnight's podfics?)

the podfic: [Podfic] ain't really quaint - Chapter 1 - quietnight - Captain America - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

4. the thing is by napricot

the thing is - Chapter 1 - napricot - Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]

“I don’t have a problem!” Sam insists. “Bucky is not a problem. Bucky is on a beautiful journey of self-care and healing and making amends with his body, and I support him 100%.”

“Mmhmm,” says Sarah, and when Sam can tear his gaze away from Bucky, he sees that she’s fixing him with a sweetly compassionate gaze. He readies himself for some no-nonsense sisterly wisdom. In tones of deep sympathy, she says, “And you’re horny about it.”

Sam grits his teeth and grips the arms of his lounge chair. “I’m so horny about it, oh my god.”

Bucky is finally ready to make amends with himself, and specifically his body, but he might need to enlist some help. If that help involves kind of, sort of tricking an overworked Sam into doing some self-care and having some fun of his own, so much the better. Sam, meanwhile, is happy to help, it's just that helping Bucky is turning out to have the inconvenient side effect of falling for him too.

—-

Main Ship: Sam Wilson/James "Bucky" Barnes 

Healing Bucky Barnes? Therapy, yoga and a stressed-out Sam who can't cope? Sign me up! Another fanfic that's a real comfort fic. Maybe I just want to be in such good therapy myself, but who knows. It's definitely worth it!

5. Out of the Dead Land by orphan_account

Out of the Dead Land - Chapter 1 - orphan_account - Captain America (Movies) [Archive of Our Own]

Someone is building machines that look and act like people.

Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier tries to be Bucky Barnes.

—

Main Ship: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers

You want a fic where the Winter Soldier finds out he's Bucky Barnes? Join Bucky Barnes as he comes in from the cold. There's also a great podfic from Quietnight.

Podfic:[Podfic] Out of the Dead Land - Chapter 1 - quietnight - Captain America (Movies) [Archive of Our Own]

6. keep making trouble (til you find what you love) by squadrickchestopher

keep making trouble (til you find what you love) - squadrickchestopher - Marvel Cinematic Universe [Archive of Our Own]

“I am paying attention,” Clint says, glaring at him. He’s so done with this guy. “Your name is Cale Montague. You wear sunglasses both at night and inside, which means you’re doubly the tool I thought you were. Your first name is also a vegetable, so I’m guessing your parents were either hippies or super rich. You like to hit poor, defenseless guys, and your suit is very much a last season kind of thing. That about cover it?”

Montague looks a little nonplussed at this. Behind him, Barnes’s shoulders are shaking with muffled laughter. Clint stifles his own grin and waits for an answer.

After a moment, Montague pinches the bridge of his nose and says, “This is going to be a long night, isn’t it?”

—

Main Ship: James "Bucky" Barnes/Clint Barton (this is Comic!Clint Barton)

You like comic accurate Clint Barton and Bucky Barnes? Then this is the fic for you. A good pinch of humor, action and a lot of bickering. There is also a fantastic Podfic. Make sure to check it out!

What is this?

It’s a SamBucky bingo event.

Is there any pressure?

No pressure at all. Fill one prompt. Fill all the prompts on every bingo card. Do however many you please.

Can I fill more than one prompt with one piece of art/one fic?

Yes! You can fill one prompt with one piece of art or fic. You can try to fill all nine prompts on the card at once with one piece of art or fic. If you can fill every single prompt from every single bingo card in one fill, that’d be wild but it’s okay by the rules. You can do any number in between.

Are there any prizes for making anything for this event?

Just the satisfaction that you made something cool.

Is it just SamBucky?

Yes please, just SamBucky. There can be side ships, but the main ship should be SamBucky.

How long will this event run?

It will run from October 1st and run until November 7th.

I heard there are badges I can use for each fill?

There are! Here they are:

RULES AND GUIDELINES

What are the guidelines for the bingo?

I will be borrowing some of this from the MYSU Valentine’s Day Bingo 2022 Guidelines, since they were fantastic.

For Everyone:

1. Remember to tag @sambuckyhalloweenbingo in the post as well as #sbhalloween2024.

2. Please also tag the prompt you’re filling (for instance, if the square is “Costume”, use “#costume” as one of your tags when posting about it on Tumblr).

3. If you’re uploading to AO3, please:

a ) Say somewhere which prompt you’re filling.

b ) Add it to the SamBucky Halloween Bingo 2024 Collection (SamBucky_Halloween_Bingo_2024).

For Artists:

1. Create at least one piece of new art that can’t have been posted anywhere else before this.

2. All visual art forms are welcome:

a ) Gifsets or photosets, at least 3 gifs or photos.

b ) Aesthetic boards or moodboards, at least 4 images each.

c ) Drawing/painting, that is not a sketch.

d) Fan video.

e) Graphics edit.

For Authors:

1. At least 500 words.

2. Posted on Tumblr or AO3.

3. Can be part of a series, but should work as a standalone.

For Podficcers:

1. The podfic should at least be 5 minutes long.

2. It should be posted on either Tumblr or AO3.

3. The podfic can be of a fic made for the event, a fic not made for the event while still adhering to the prompt, or a notfic.

For Fic Rec Lists:

1. You must have at least three fics or podfics on the rec list.

2. Make sure to give brief descriptions of the fics or podfics as well as their rating and wordcount.

For Commenters:

1. Any amount of comment counts, from a heart emoji (“❤️”) to an essay.

2. We would rather this be about what makes you happy and joyful about reading than any scathing critiques.

Things to be mindful of when creating:

For Sam

Avoid framing Sam only as a caretaker or emotional support for Bucky. Be mindful of Sam acting angry or aggressive in an out-of-character way and falling into the angry/sassy Black man trope (check out the MCU source material to help with character traits).

Avoid decentering Sam as a main character and refrain from focusing entirely on Bucky.

In art: avoid whitewashing Sam’s skin and research drawing Black characters.

General disclaimer: Race affects every aspect of his life, including interacting with police/government and the white structures of the world when it comes to performing his duties as Cap and simply being a Black man that lives in the U.S.

For Bucky

Avoid phrasing “flesh/normal/human hand” to refer to the contrast between his prosthetic arm and his right arm. The phrasing is ableist. You can simply refer to his prosthesis when relevant, otherwise use “right/left arm/hand”.

For more information, please check out this document suggested by @ninesdb on how to write Bucky as an amputee. @ninesdb is also open to questions if you have any queries not answered by the google doc.

Specific Tags:

Avoid tags in AO3 like “Sam Wilson is a Gift”, “Sam Wilson is a Saint”, and “Bucky Needs a Hug”.

Have fun and we look forward to your Halloween Bingo fics!

Okay, starting a little chain of reccing possibly 😂 If y'all wanna rec five fics you like or stuff you've written that you like 🥰 And I suppose tag five people who could add recs? 🤔 Here's my five: @bisamwilson @siancore @six2vii @cobrafantasies @saryasy

I'm going to do podfics because I don't think people always think about podfics on lists like this and they don't get as much love as they should, so here are some SamBucky podfics I love in no particular order 🥰 :

1) [podfic] Red Right Hand voiced by @funsized-loser with the original fic written by @abarbaricyalp (T, Western AU, Gunslingers, Walk into a Bar) - A one armed gun slinger walks into Sam's bar...

2) [Podfic] gossip about the weird guy who just showed up by blackglass, GoLBCollabs (GodOfLaundryBaskets), Ravin_Pods (Ravin), Tipsy_Kitty with the original fic written by @abhorsenbranwen (T, Gossip When Bucky Helps Fix the Boat, TFATWS, Text Group) - In between fixing the boat, some neighbors do some speculating about who the fuck this guy who may or may not have a metal arm but possibly mentioned running errands for Wakanda is.

3) [Podfic] honk honk vroom vroom voiced by @quietnighty with the original fic by @enemyofrome (T, Uber Driver AU, Reckless Driving, Crack) - Sam meets the Uber driver from hell. Apparently, the Winter Soldier has a new day job.

4) [podfic] Where's the Love We Once Knew? voiced by @funsized-loser with the original fic written by @jemgirl86 (Not Rated, Newscaster Bucky Barnes, Baseball Player Sam Wilson, Lovers to Enemies to Lovers) -

“Like I said,” Bucky replied, “Wilson is good, but he’s not the second coming.” He shook his head. “You talk about him like he’s Hank Aaron reincarnated or something, when he’s really just an asshole,” he shot back, without thinking. “Yeah, he can field, yeah he can hit, but he knows shit all about what it takes to make a team work.” And, okay, a tiny voice in Bucky’s head acknowledged that he was talking about an entirely different team — an entirely different kind of team. But he was all worked up (because any mention of Sam Wilson always got him all worked up, and he’d been having to listen to people talk about Sam nonstop all week), and he was too far gone to shut-up. Or: Bucky gets caught trash talking Sam on a hot mic, and drama ensues.

5) Buffy Burnes Ph.D. the Scientific Illustrator Roommate [podfic] voiced by litrapod (litra) with the original fic by me (M, Canon Divergence, Crack Treated Seriously, And They Were Roommates) - Sam decides to take a break from Avengers business after Age of Ultron. He puts out an ad for a roommate on Craigslist for his new apartment in Delacroix. He gets one response from a "Dr. Buffy Burnes".

Rec Lists Year in Review 2023

Through the power of excel, I've pulled together some stats for this year's fic rec lists! Over the past year, I've recommended a total of 375 fics and 72 podfics across 27 rec lists and 52 Gen Fic Fridays (check out my masterpost for links to all the lists). If you read everything I recommended this year, that would be 7,225,025 words of fanfiction (good work if you managed it!).

Most Popular Lists

As of today, the most popular of this year's rec lists are Sineala Stony Podfic List with 118 notes and Stucky for Steve Stans with 105 notes.

The least popular lists are Time Loops 2023 update and Halloween 2023: Week 3 (Stucky + SamSteveBucky spooky stories) which both have 5 notes.

Most Recc'd Ships

In terms of ships, Stony was the overwhelming winner, with almost 50% of this year's recs:

Stony (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark) - 223

Gen (No Ship) - 86

Stucky (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes) - 46

Amerihawk (Clint Barton/Steve Rogers) - 15

Frostshield (Loki/Steve Rogers) - 13

Bruce Banner/Steve Rogers - 9

SamSteve (Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson) - 6

Romanogers (Natasha Romanoff/Steve Rogers) - 4

Steve Rogers/JARVIS - 4

SamSteveBucky - 3

Steggy (Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers) - 3

Steve Rogers/Tentacles - 3

SamBucky (Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson) - 3

WinterHawk (Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton) - 3

Miscelleneous (recc'd one or two times) - 27

Most Recc'd Fics

There were six stories that each made appearances on three different lists (they are all Stony):

A Real Boy by sineala (with podfic read by M_Samro)

Falling Backwards (Till it Turns Me Inside Out) by Aeraneth

girls can't play guitar by isozyme

Got You Under My Skin by BlossomsintheMist

Mercy in You by sineala (with podfic read by Pywren)

Relativistic Heat Conduction by blossomsinthemist (with podfic read by Pywren)

[thatmexisaurusrex]

Okay, some fics that I love that make me happy in no particular order just off the top of my head:

1) Looking For Knives (I Was Looking For You) by downjune (M, 3.4K, Friends to Lovers, Peril, Bucky Brings a Knife to a Gun Fight) - Bucky didn’t have a gun to return fire. He didn’t even have pants.

2) warm blood (feels good, i can't control it anymore) by @notcaycepollard (E, 4.5K, Fluff, These Assholes Who Love Each Other, Accidental Cuddling) -

Sam's just chilling watching TV one evening when Bucky comes in and stares at him silently for a minute or two before sitting down on the couch. He's pretty close to Sam. Okay, he's really close to Sam. Like, Sam would be using the word 'cuddling' if it wasn't so bizarre. "What," he says, carefully not looking at Bucky, and Bucky huffs a sigh. "Steve's not here," he says as if it's obvious. "Don't make it weird. Just- shut up."

*Also has a great podfic by @quietnighty

3) baby we'll be fine by napricot (T, 2.7K, Slice of Life, Superhero Problems, Cuddling & Snuggling) -

“Just to clarify, when you say vampires, you mean literal, actual vampires. Not, like, aliens that act like vampires,” asked Bucky slowly. “They’re literal, actual vampires, yes,” said Blade, a combination of words that Sam had never wanted to hear outside of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. “And I’ve been fighting them since they killed my mom.” Sam couldn’t see his eyes, but Blade’s whole face went tense and his next words came like he was forcing them out. “l could really use some superhero backup.” This, Sam reminded himself, was his life now. Being Cap. Living with Bucky. Knowing about...vampires. He took a deep breath in, let it out slow. Vampires are real he tried, testing it out. It didn’t feel great. Sam discovers he's got limits on this superhero bullshit. Bucky sympathizes.

4) Water They Waiting For by @asterismall, ElleBishop, Itscalledthedistrict, @cataroo, @liminalmess, plorp, shakethishigh (Lindra), @jules-of-the-crown, Writer_Lethogica (M & E, 36.4K, No Powers, Fluff & Humor, Getting Together) - The degree of pining between Sam and Bucky is enough to drive all their friends and family off the deep end. Maybe some slippery strategic “accidents” and a sprinkling of love will help Sam realize he’s ready to take the plunge…

Okay, a lil compendium of stuff I've written that I enjoy as little pieces of comfort:

1) Buffy Burnes Ph.D. the Scientific Illustrator Roommate (M, 5K, Crack Treated Seriously, Slice of Life, Getting to Know Each Other) - Sam decides to take a break from Avengers business after Age of Ultron. He puts out an ad for a roommate on Craigslist for his new apartment in Delacroix. He gets one response from a "Dr. Buffy Burnes".

2) That's Not a Goose! (M, 2.3K, Soulmate Goose of Enforcement But It's a Falcon It's Redwing, Meet-Ugly Turned Meet-Cute, Soulmates AU) - Redwing the Second Chance Falcon matches Sam and the second love of Sam's life... in the middle of Sam's steering wheel getting stolen by said second soulmate.

3) That's My Cat! (M, 7K, Rumors About Friends with Benefits, Cat Dads, WITH SURPRISE GUEST M'BAKU???) - When Sam and Bucky are found wrestling in their underwear in the Avengers' locker room, a few rumors start to spread.

4) The Novelty Pumpkin Proposal (M, 6.2K, Gardening, Enemies to Lovers, Competitive Idiots in Love) - Sam just wanted to welcome the new guy to his neighborhood. Now, his new next-door neighbor Bucky has made a gardening enemy out of him.

5) All I Want for Arbor Day is You, Baby! (M, 4.2K, Holidays, Kisses, Getting Together) - Or, the seven times Bucky and Sam could write off kisses and the one where they have to admit their feelings for one another.

A few sick fics if you want those:

1) The Meeting of Branchus and Apollo (E, 5K, Mission Fic, Stuck in a Cabin, Silent Films) - Sam and Bucky take shelter in an old Howling Commandos safe house as they recover from a quinjet crash.

2) you know misery loves company (E, 4.6K, SamSteve and SamBucky Hinge, Bucky and Steve Take Care of Sam, Friends to Lovers) - Steve and Bucky have been vying for Sam's attention for months now. It's become a little ridiculous. (this is also part of a series of SamBuckySteve fics I wrote with them as a hinge)

And for a little longer fics if you're in the mood for that, here are a few too:

1) Bucky Quest (G-E, 302K, Canon Compliant, Fluff, They're Bi Your Honor) - Sam Wilson's out on his search to find the infamous Winter Soldier shortly after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. What he finds isn't what he expects.

2) The Tush Collection (M-E, 11.8K, Fluff, Crack, Tushes) - A collection of fics based on the photos in this post by @hot-chocolates-world.

3) The Single All the Way-Verse (M & E, 29.6K, Holidays, No Powers AU, Single All the Way AU) - Desperate to avoid his family's judgment about being single, Sam tries to persuade his best friend Bucky to pose as his boyfriend on a trip home for the holidays.

4) My Best Friend's Brother (M & E, 12.2K, No Powers AU, Strangers to Bucky Takes Care of Sam, Running Through the Airport to Say I Love You) - When med school student Sam Wilson comes home to Delacroix after years of being away due to an incident during his rotations, he reunites with Bucky Barnes, the older brother of his best friend Becca.

Okay, that was probably too many 😂 But I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon!!! ❤️

feeling a little under the weather, send me your comfort sambucky/samsteve/samstevebucky fics pls and thank you

**Welcome to my Fanfiction Blog!**

Hello everyone! I've been active in the fanfiction community since 2013/14. I started on Wattpad, but now you can mostly find me on AO3 (Archive of Our Own). Over the years, I've read countless stories that have touched me deeply and that I just can't forget. Here, I'd like to share some of my favorites and introduce you to my beloved fandoms. Simply because I don't have anyone in real life who is also in all the fandoms like me.

**My Fandoms:**

- **Teen Wolf**

- **Supernatural** (not as active anymore)

- **Marvel**

- Especially Stucky, but I'm also very active with SamBucky, Winterhawk, Winterwidow – basically anything with Bucky.

- **One Piece**

- Zoro/Sanji

- **Percy Jackson** (when I'm in the mood)

- **One Direction**

- I grew up with this fandom. Larry Stylinson was my favorite for a long time, but now I mostly check in out of nostalgia.

- **Merlin**

- I really like it, but I'm not very active.

- **Jujutsu Kaisen**

- **Dungeon Meshi**

- **Challengers**

- **The Boys**

- But no Homelander fics, that dude creeps me out.

- **9-1-1** (TV series) Especially Buddie

- **Podfics** I love, love podfics

Here, I'll be sharing the fanfics that have left a lasting impression on me, and I'm excited to discover your recommendations too! If you're looking for captivating, moving, or just plain entertaining stories, you're in the right place.

I'm actually not good at writing, I also find it difficult to write comments or to actively participate in a story. I always feel sorry for the authors, but I always leave a Kudos and bookmark the story.

Happy reading and exploring! 📚✨
