this is my little spark of madness

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

Fandom: Captain America (movies)

Pairing: Stucky

Characters: Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Scott Lang, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton

Summary:

Steve has his own heist crew. Bucky has his own heist crew. They vaguely know about each other in the way people in the same line of work sometimes vaguely know each other - which is to say, not at all. They know of the others' existence. Barely. And then one day their paths cross. And things have the potential to get very lethal very fast. Unless they don't. Unless possibly nothing works out exactly to plan. Unless nothing is quite what it seems. So here then is a heist fic which channels Leverage a lot and John Wick a little, because plot and action happen to me no matter what i do, it seems. Battle couples and happy endings all the way.

A/N: Hello lovely people!

Here is my MTH2024 fill for the amazing and wonderful @bittersweet-in-boston (please give her ALL THE LOVE).

Auction was for a minimum 10K fic in typical sat fashion - AU with lots of plot, action, and a HEA. Bitters decided she would take a heist fic, since i couldn't write WWII (again - so sorry about that), and instead of a 10K setup-payoff-HEA, we have an 18K behemoth that may or may not eventually get a sequel.

(Do not worry. The ending is NOT a cliffhanger. i would never do you like that.)

Thank you so much to the truly wonderful @marveltrumpshate mods, because they really do the most incredible work. Extra special thanks go to my beta @booksandabeer who does the impossible on short notice and challenges me in all the right ways. i love you so much. You are invaluable.

And finally, i'm tagging the incredible @sparkagrace who has been through all the writing woes with me, the incomparable @dontcallmebree because they asked for it (thank you honey!), and the inimitable @mixaether -- i don't know if you even read stucky anymore, but i once wrote you a heist fic, and i swear, this current heist fic would not have happened without your first venture.

Thank you all for being amazing. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
