What are your favorite settings for Stucky fic?
One of the things I love about Steve/Bucky fic is how diverse it is. We have fics covering every period of canon, plus everything from medieval AUs to stories set in the distant future.
What is your favorite setting for Steve/Bucky fic?




This was actually a really hard poll for me to answer and I was tempted to cheat and choose the "just want to see what others said" option.
I absolutely love historical fiction, so I am a huge fan of pre-war and WW2 era fics, but there's always that specter of tragedy hanging over them because you know what's going to happen in the war, so I ultimately decided to go with post-TWS as my favorite because it offers them the opportunity to be happy. (Permanently happy.) Plus, it's a very diverse genre because Bucky's fate in the film was left so open-ended, whereas canon-compliant post-CW fics all have to deal with defrosting Bucky and getting the triggers out of his head, even if only in passing.
This was really hard because i love pre-war & ww2 fics when they're done well but the best fics I've read are set post tws so that's what I picked :)
I chose fantasy & sci fi bc that's really my favourite AU for anything ever.
Imzy needs to implement a multiple choice poll... I have a soft spot for well researched pre-serum Steve and WW2 (which, lazily researched, is the setting for my current WIP) but some of my biggest favorites are post TWS. So I bailed out and chose the cheat option.
I agree - multiple choice polls would be great.
I freaking love post-TWS but I'm a sucker for Depression to WWII era fics too. Better still, those that span both.
This was a hard poll for me to answer, but I went with post-CW.
I'd love to have more post-CW fic. Although the cryostasis scene made a lot of sense in canon, and worsk well for Bucky's story arc, I don't think it's that that big an obstacle. It's pretty easy to handwave away, and I can think of a lot of ways to deal with Bucky's triggers as well.
I also love post-TWS fic, as long as it isn't misery porn, and SF AUs are my jam.
I wanted to pick all three from the top, but I went with post-TWS because most of the fics I've read happen in that setting. But I also have such a soft spot for pre-serum Steve/Bucky stories ^_^ And any other story where they have their happy ending :)
