bucky’s past with nat never got explored because in the mcu he doesn’t have one. nat was born in 1984 and bucky was with hydra in 1991. so for them to meet she would have been age 7 or younger. and it’s the writer’s hc that bucky was always hydra and never red room anyways. seb just really wants that storyline even though the writers have already said it’s not something that could be pulled off.

Haha! I was talking more about how I wanted to see more of Bucky as the Winter Soldier in general and I felt like we got robbed of that. I personally think the idea of Bucky training Natasha is an interesting storyline, but Sebastian is thinking more of the comic route where Natasha is around Bucky’s age because she was also enhanced and aged slowly, and he’s entitled to his opinion. I’m actually pretty against a romantic plot with Bucky and Nat as a couple in the MCU but I’d still like to see them interact as people who’ve dealt with similar shit.

I feel like this was snarky bc of the fact that you’re on anon and laying out timelines for me? But also consider this… the MCU is made up of mostly bad writing so we shouldn’t take anything seriously anyway!

I’d like to rec Lavender Town by velleities. It’s a lovely and sweet, with great characterisation. I also loved the way reality vs fantasy was handled. This is good stuff! /works/11871246

Lavender Town by velleities (complete |

31,748 | M)

Bucky lives in a sleepy town, shares a house with his should-be-boyfriend Steve, and helps Wanda with her crafts. He likes hanging out with Clint the owner of the animal shelter, and drinking Natasha’s delicious coffee at the bakery. But there is something off about this life that Bucky can’t quite place; Tony Stark dislikes him for no apparent reason, his dreams are too strange to understand, and his left arm occasionally glints under the light. A series of strange events clue Bucky in on the fact that maybe their lives aren’t what they seem…
