#capbb2018

I finally had the opportunity to collaborate with one of my favorite artists, artgroves, as we were both drawn to recluse Bucky in his cat-filled cabin in the woods. Alby may have got the cats, but I got the hug... DRAW THE HUG YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. And thanks to our lovely author, coldwinterrose, for her beautiful words. It's been a pleasure working with you both.

Art for In My Cold Arms by coldwinterrose (Stucky Post-Avengers AU, 35K) After James’ rescue in 1991, he felt like he’d built a pretty good, if slightly lonely, life for himself. He had a beautiful cabin in the woods, his cats for company, and his woodworking and knitting to keep him busy. One day though, he gets a phone call that could change everything. When Steve woke to an unexpected and shocking future, he was at a loss for what to do with himself. There were no more wars to fight, and no home to go back to. He struggled to figure out who he is in this new world; until he finds that maybe he didn’t lose as much as he first thought.

“Despite technically belonging to Steve, in the end, it’s thrown around enough to be both of theirs, with Steve as the spontaneous planning and Bucky as the aim and precision.” 

Bucky needs rest, and lots of it. His omega whines when Steve pulls back, but Steve’s low, contented hum manages to soothe him. In no time, he’s out like a light once more. - In My Very Bones by @mshenkoaddiction for @cabigbang

I had the incredible luck to get to work with @mshenkoaddiction. They made my first big bang experience a blast! This is the first piece I did for the story.

Captain America Big Bang 2018 Wrap-up

It’s been an incredibly exciting journey, watching so many of you take your fanworks from idea to finished collaboration, but here we are at the end! Thank you so much to the authors and artists who made the first Captain America Big Bang a success, and to everyone else who helped along the way.

We’re happy to announce that this year’s Bang includes 118 collaborations from 119 authors and 88 artists. They have been reblogged to our Tumblr and we invite you to check out the Ao3 collection! 

Additionally, we’ve aggregated everyone’s submissions in a user-friendly spreadsheet. You can sort it by a variety of criteria to find your favorite content creators and pairings and maybe find some new ones! The spreadsheet is available here. 

Once again, thank you to everyone! It’s been our privilege to facilitate the Captain America Big Bang and we hope to see you all again next year!

Best wishes,
