WinterFalcon Week 2021

The prompt results for WinterFalcon Week have finally been tallied, and it's time to kick off this fanweek celebrating our favourite MCU duo! But first, a quick reminder on the rules and guidelines of this challenge.

WinterFalcon Week will run from the 19th-25th of August 2021, a.k.a. exactly five months after the airing of the first episode of TFATWS. Creation time starts as soon as you've got your prompts - which is to say, as soon as you finish reading this post. We'd like this to be a fun, relaxed challenge for everyone, so there is plenty of time to create an epic creation.

Furthermore, we will not be enforcing deadlines very strictly at all - so if you do happen to miss a day or two, absolutely no stress. We will keep reblogging Winterfalcon content right through to the end of the year! Meanwhile, you are free to complete as few or as many of the prompts as you want, and you can submit as many or as few creations per day as the muse inspires.

Any and all types of creative fanwork - fic, art, gifsets, photo edits, video edits, and more - are welcomed in this fanweek! The only criterion is that it must be centred around the MCU pairing of Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes.

There are no content restrictions for this challenge - NSFW, dark, or otherwise uncomfortable topics are accepted - however, we require any such content to be clearly identified in your title/summary/blurb and placed under a read-more cut, so that those who aren’t comfortable with seeing it can avoid it.

When you've finished your creation and you're ready to share it with the WinterFalcon world, @ this blog and use #winterfalconweek2k21 in your first five tags so we can find and reblog your work. Don't forget to add what day of the prompt week your creation is fulfilling!

Writers, we've created an AO3 Collection where you can post your fanfiction for ease of access - you can find it on the Archive as winterfalconweek_2k21.

Shoutout once again to the incredible @jemmablossom, creator of our stunning banner this year! Thank you so much for making this event not only possible, but beautiful ❤️

And now with no further ado, your prompts for 2021, as voted by you, the fans:

Day 1 (19 August): Sam Finds Bucky Before Civil War

Day 2 (20 August): Protectiveness

Day 3 (21 August): Fake Dating/Undercover As A Couple

Day 4 (22 August): Jealousy

Day 5 (23 August): Mistaken For A Couple

Day 6 (24 August): Bucky Carrying Sam

Day 7 (25 August): Love Languages

Prompts are general, and creators are free to interpret them however you want! As long as it's about Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, and has something of the prompt's general theme in it, anything goes.

@winterfalconweek day 4 “Jealousy”

For @winterfalconweek’s WinterFalcon Week 2021 Day 7 prompt: Love Languages

Love Languages by burnthatbridge  M  | 6.9k | no archive warnings

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe Relationships: James “Bucky” Barnes/Sam Wilson; brief mention of past Riley/Sam  Tags: Established Relationship; Domestic Fluff; Romantic Fluff; Hurt/Comfort; Grief/Mourning; Sex; Character Death (off-screen); Sex; Minor Injuries; Blood

Summary:

Sam has his shirt off because it’s goddamn hot; Bucky is in a t-shirt, arm seams gleaming in the sun. Sam’s used to them enough that their shine doesn’t snag his attention, break his concentration, too much. The same cannot be said for Bucky where Sam’s shirtlessness is concerned. He cannot shop glancing over, sometimes openly staring — nothing new there, except his eyes aren’t on Sam’s face.

Sam does know what’s going on: Bucky has a thing for Sam’s chest. He’s kind of… obsessed with seems too strong to use and makes Sam feel more than a little big-headed, vain, but it really is the most accurate term he can think of. Seven ways Sam and Bucky express their love for one another:

1. boobs 2. eating together 3. salvation through your lover’s touch 4. going through grief together 5. theft 6. pure devotion which makes you turn a blind eye to the world around you 7. blood

for @winterfalconweek​ day 1 - sam finds bucky before ca:cw!!

summary:

When Sam Wilson finds him, it's almost like looking into a painting. Only observing, unable to touch, just watching a masterpiece move and tell a story on its own. And what a story it was.

WinterFalcon Week prompt 5 (Aug 23) : Mistaken for a couple

AJ introduces Captain America and the Winter Soldier to his class

Rated G

(Excerpt)

Everybody Talks, Babe

“Was everything always so small in schools?” Bucky asked, spinning the world’s smallest desk chair on one of its legs.

“I can’t tell you what schools were like back in the stone age. I assume everything seemed larger because you had to lug stone tablets around for your arithmetic or whatever.”

Bucky rolled his eyes. “The only thing I actually remember from school was giving a girl a chocolate bar for Valentine’s one year and having to pull Steve out from under the bleachers every time he wanted to start a fight.”

“God, it’s a miracle you know how to read.”

“I’ll have you know, all the history books say I was a great student,” Bucky answered. He let the chair fall back into place against the wall.

“Yeah, well, be nice to the dead and all.”

“You’re terrible to me. I don’t know why I put up with it.”

“Because you think I’m terribly handsome.”

Bucky snorted and shot an ‘I-doubt-it’ look at Sam. When the office door opened, Bucky stepped in front of Sam and kneeled down so AJ, who’d launched himself through the door, had no chance of choosing which one of them to run to. He crashed into Bucky’s arms and Bucky pulled him close as he stood.

“Hey there, champ. You ready to go lie to all your friends about how cool your uncle is?” he asked.

AJ laughed. “Uncle Sam is cool!” he insisted. “Everyone wants to see you. Did you bring it?”

Sam held up the leather bag that housed the shield. “Yeah, of course I brought it. You only reminded me a hundred times.”

“And your arm?” AJ asked Bucky.

“Wearing a short sleeve just like you asked,” Bucky confirmed.

“Sweet,” he said so solemnly that Sam and Bucky burst out laughing at the same time.

“Y’all are just too cute,” the secretary said as she hurried out of an office and gestured for them to step together. “Let me get a picture of the three of you.”

“Is it gonna go in the yearbook?” AJ asked.

“I’m sure we can make that happen,” the secretary assured.

AJ celebrated quietly. “I never get in the yearbook.”

Sam stepped to Bucky’s other side and slung an arm over his shoulders to pull on AJ’s ear until he laughed again.

“Are you okay with this?" Bucky asks.

“Yeah,” Sam nods. “Yeah, I mean, it’s not like it would be real. It doesn’t have to mean anything.”

“Exactly.”

“So it’s not a big deal.”

“Right.”

Bucky stares at Sam, expectant, and Sam stares back.

“Well?” Bucky smirks. “You gonna make the first move, or what?”

Or: in an effort to combat the rumors about who Sam is dating, he and Bucky make a rash decision that results in forcing the two of them to pretend to be in a relationship for three months. For PR reasons, of course.
