impala_chickHappy New Year! I hope this year is kind to you :)
The new year is an opportunity to go through my house and get things in order. It's also an opportunity to go through my google docs and try to get my ideas in order.
Fic Goals this year:
-Heavy Artillery Holiday Exchange
-Fandom Trumps Hate, Sam/Bucky (MCU) Fic
-Arthur/Gwaine (Merlin BBC) fic that I've been messing with for two years. It might be a good one for wipBB or Iddy Iddy BB.

-heavyartillery events
-All the Halloween fic!!
-Hopefullylittleblackdressex and smut4smut run again
-Battleship!!
-ficinabox
-Bulletproof Exchange
-Maybe the sequel to that Theo/Liam Country fic I wrote called You're Worth the Drive (Basically I wanted Liam's dad to be an ass and for Theo to be all protective, and then I wanted the rest of the pack to find out about them)
-Part III of my Merthur AU
I've been sitting on three Sam/Bucky (MCU) fic ideas that I probably will never end up writing but I'm recording them here so I can delete the google doc. If you know of a fic that already exists that kind of fits, please do point me in that direction :)
01. Another madripoor fic, only this time Sam gets kidnapped after Zemo ditches them. The bad guys use mind games with Sam and make him relieve memories that will be useful to them in order to find his weakness(es). It definitely comes up that he’s always had a thing for Bucky, some kind of middle school project maybe? The only way I see this working is if Bucky is also kidnapped too (because he'd go crazy trying to get Sam free and succeed before the bad guys get too deep). So Zemo or Sharon would have to break them out. Sam doesn’t have to tell Bucky everything, but he does have to talk about it eventually. Maybe the bad guys would try to exploit their relationship while in captivity and torture Bucky or torture an impersonator? Then feelings/getting together at the end.
02. Sam survives the snap. He's the one working with the team to do the time travel thing. Sam would want to get Bucky back; very angsty during those long years alone. Sam’s there when the compound gets bombed. Bucky shows up at the final battle in Endgame and he and Sam have a battlefield reunion?
03. This prompt from FFA: An AU fic where Steve gets snapped, Sam and Bucky don't, and they slowly fall in love while holding each other together in the aftermath. It's unbearably romantic, with lots of emphasis on learning to be happy again and how genuinely good for each other they are.
... And then they end up on Vormir.
I would want them to get their happy ending. Maybe they can sacrifice something with intense meaning for both of them, something that they both love but that isn't actually a person. I am thinking of the shield here.
---
It had been a living fucking nightmare for a while. There was no other way to describe it. The level of destruction was incomprehensible. The amount of lives lost, inexcusable. But at least Sam had Bucky.
Now they both could fix everything. There was nothing that was going to stop them.
Vormir seemed like the place they had the least amount of intel on. It was the most mysterious, and therefore the most dangerous. Which is exactly why Sam had chosen himself to go there.
Bucky had volunteered immediately to follow him.
Sam knew it would be pointless to try and dissuade him, but he tried anyway. Bucky stood firm. Sam’s heart clenched as he looked over at Bucky standing next to him on the huge platform Bruce and Tony had built.
They were really going to travel through time and space, which was wild enough to try and wrap his mind around. And they were going to do it without Steve. Sam took a deep breath. They'd all come this far on their own. All they had to do was see the plan through.
He met Tony’s gaze, and then looked each of his teammates in the eye.
“This is it, the moment we’ve been waiting for. It’s all or nothing. I think we all know Steve would have known what to say. But we aren’t just doing this for him. We’re doing this for all of those people we lost, all of those people ripped from their lives for no reason other than the cruel and impersonal power grab of a lunatic. We have the tools to make it right, so let’s do that.”
“You’re pretty good at that, Cap,” Tony offered with a smile.
He squeezed Bucky’s hand once before he let his fingers drop. Their relationship was still fresh, and new, but it wasn’t a secret. Sam wanted Bucky to know that whatever happened, he was grateful for his steadfast devotion to the mission, and to him.
They all looked down at the gadgets on their wrists.
“See you in a few,” Nat said with a smile.
And then Sam was drawn into blackness.

And here are some random prompts I saved that I might revisit:
Any Fandom | Any Pairing | who did you kill?
Any Fandom | Any Pairing | why are you covered in blood?
any, any, taking a walk in an old cemetery
Roaring fire
Getting drenched in the rain
Any Characters/Pairings | Just pull the car over!
Any Fandom / Any Pairing / They just wanted free champagne and maybe a dessert when they fake proposed in a filled restaurant. Just some harmless fun. What they didn’t realize was that not everyone in this restaurant was a stranger. And that some people would want answers.
