Summary:

Steve buys a run-down house on a whim; it needs work. Bucky shows up.

Contains: probably inaccurate home remodeling things, lots of painting the walls, Bucky figuring out how to be mostly himself again, Steve deciding to paint a mural on one of the walls (but it's really a metaphor), Steve and Nat crashing some formerly-HYDRA bases and getting into a few scrapes, eventual Steve and Bucky hooking up.


Warnings: Depictions of violence, minor medical things re: Bucky's WS arm
Characters: Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanov, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Sam Wilson
Pairings: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
When I Started: May 2023
How I Lost My Shit: I read a bunch of random Steve/Bucky one weekend after rewatching CA:TWS and there were some things where I thought, I like these ideas but I would do things this other way, so I jotted down a few notes here and there, which turned into making an outline for a story where they fixed up a house and hoping that would be enough to satisfy the urge. And then I couldn't stop thinking about it and figured, this is enough of an outline that I could potentially do NaNoWriMo with this. So I wrote 50k… then promptly stopped wanting to look at it.
How I Finished My Shit: When I saw WIP BB was running again I figured it would be a good way to finish up, since having the regular check-ins and a deadline is generally helpful to my writing process! And then it ended up the longest thing I've ever written.
