Ooooh, thanks for those links! I will save them for a rainy day, which, come to think of it, is today. *g*
And yep, I am indeed dipping my writing pen in the ink of Cap & Bucky fic. Sorta. It's an outsider POV fic about Bucky, based on the comic book, where Hydralyzed Bucky goes AWOL after a mission on American soil in 1973. So no Cap, alas, but some lost & confused Bucky on his own in the wilds of a Chicago bus station. Cami did an excellent job beta'ing it and now I'm waiting on Suzll to get back to me with her thoughts, and then I'll tweak it and post it. I'm posting any Avengers/Marvel stuff on Ao3 and will post the links here. Might even post the story here, too, since it's short.
(I have been scraping the bottom of the FIc Barrel looking for good Steve and Bucky fic, and finally there is Stuff Happening)
Oooh, that's exciting! You or Cami need to do a fic rec post for newbies like me. You two and Suzll are the only ones I know at present writing any Marvel/Avengers fic, though I did find someone called "sergeantmicky" at ff.net who has some pretty good friendship & h/c Cap & Bucky stuff. A little too Woobified Bucky for me at times and not the best in the way of grammar, but there's still something compelling and wonderful about her "A Hint of Spring" collection of stories about Cap helping Buck find himself in those first awful months after he escapes Hydra and Cap finally finds him. She nails the characters really well (minus that too-Wooby-Bucky tendency), and that to me will cover a multitude of grammar hiccups. I need to leave some reviews for it... I was reading it on my phone at odd times so I never was able to review properly.
Anyway, yes, the more Cap angst the better to go alongside the Buck angst!
