Shrinky or Shrunky?pollsPick one: Shrinkyclinks (pre-serum!Steve/Winter Soldier!Bucky)Shrunkyclunks (Cap!Steve/modern!Bucky)I just want to see what other people said
I still can't believe both of those names just took off and became the accepted terms for those tropes. :D Amazing.
The backstory is what makes the whole pairing run for me, so the inverse version always feels sort of pointless. Cap!Steve/prewar!Bucky via time travel or whatever, now... sign me up.
Agreed to all of this. It's their dynamic that interests me cuz backstory/unorthodox life happenings, so taking that away fundamentally alters em for me, but....yeah I'd take Cap!Steve and newly enlisted Army Bucky 8)
Shrinkyclinks just has so much more angst potential, which is apparently my metric for choosing pairings.

Best ship names ever, both of them.
