Re: incoming tl;dr

[vestigialwords]

I considered doing that, and I know women have been sneaking into the military probably for as long as there has been a military to sneak onto. But getting her into the military actually wasn't the part that I struggled with. (Although I went a different direction and made an AU where the US Army, struggling to maintain its numbers, started taking women into active combat on a volunteer-basis, if they could pass a barrage of physical tests. Tests which I think Bucky could have passed easily, having been a fighter her whole life for Steve).

Having Bucky hide her identity from everyone except Steve is a much simpler solution to these problems, to be sure. It probably makes more sense for a fic that stands a chance of being published, to be honest. I was just having fun exploring what it might look like if she didn't hide anything. Because I wanted fem!Bucky to be completely unapologetic about the way she is, just like Steve. From there it ended up becoming very much pre-War-Steve-and-Bucky-against-the-world, which is different relationship than they have in the MCU (where Steve fights the world and Bucky tries to pull him into it). And then when things got too different, I started to doubt myself and gave up. :\

But it's funny you should mention Dum-Dum, because I absolutely love the idea of Dum-Dum and (Fem!)Bucky broing it up, and have quite a bit written of them doing just that.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I'm also a lot more shallow than you are (I don't write, either) so I justify it in my mind with vague "well Peggy was in the military and stuff" but it's still not even close to the same thing.

Dum-Dum is fantastic, and he and any incarnation of Bucky are required to be bros in my head-canon.

hahaha, to be honest, I just spend way too much time thinking about Bucky/Steve in any incarnation, and LOL, when I say "I write," I mean that I have an overflowing WIP folder on my hard drive and I publish something like, once a year. Maybe. It feels fake.

Dum Dum love, yes! I'm not even sure where my enthusiasm for his character comes from, but it's there.
