idk if this will help or be encouraging or whatever but Targeting is my favorite fic of all time. like. i don't really read fic much anymore but the first thing i did when i got my new phone was download targeting and strong safety. no matter what kind of waves creativity takes of when it hits, there will always be people waiting to consumer what u put out. so just keep doing what you're doing, even if all you're doing is waiting for inspiration again

thi s is super ........ super sweet thank you so much :’)

I would not be sad to hear more about that sam/bucky version...

sam and bucky bonding over chronic pain and overcoming it to become full-time professional athletes!! 

sam is boisterous and outgoing and energetic but he has insecurities and fears and soft spots like anyone else. as sweet and patient as he is, bucky is the perfect person to wait sam out until he’s ready to share those feelings. sam tries to hide it but he’s easily frustrated by the back spasms and bucky finds it a lot easier to help other people through injuries than to deal with his own.

on the other hand bucky is very quiet and prickly and everyone always tiptoes around him either out of fear or pity. sam’s not like that at all. he's not afraid to make fun of bucky, but he also likes him a lot, and he relentlessly talks him up, too. he’s genuine and honest with bucky 100% so it’s easy for bucky to open up.

they open up to each other!!!! it’s perfect!!!!

it starts because they play for NFL division rivals, which means they’re forced into the same city twice a year. they hang out around games ... and evenutally start making the drive during the offseason ... visiting each other during bye weeks....

also it’s already targeting canon that they are attached at the social media hip. best believe sam is the reason bucky gets a snapchat, twitter, instagram. (pinterest..? bucky and/or sam with a wedding pinterest board is really precious but maybe not right for this au, oh look, now i gottta write a sambucky wedding too, GREAT)

Very long and relaxing vacation to a tropical island!!!!! Sam can still miss Riley but we’d all know he’s coming back (and Riley gets to hang out on a beach)

psst pssssst *whispers* (you should just edit it :P)

beach volleyball au wouldn't work bc Steve has no ass and volleyball players all have to have good glute strength. It just wouldn't be honest

Diego Luna was in every captain America movie what are u talking about

....go on......

jfdklajfal i googled it to see if it would even be possible and servicemen DO get cell phones so yes, that means they exchanged blurry pictures of desert animals ALL the time. riley sends sam birds and sam sends riley lizards

Um excuse me you're writing fic with Bucky?? That may be the most important thing I've missed since I've been away from tumblr and it is very important that I read it immediately
