accidental rhodey/bucky manifesto:
So, a couple different people asked about the Avengers pairing I’d like to see more of, and I…accidentally a Rhodey/Bucky shipping manifesto? I failed self-control in school, in case anyone had any doubt about that.
HEADS UP SEVEN UP before I get into this—I ship everybody in this SHIELD facility! I’ve written Rhodey/Bucky, and I’ve also written Steve/Bucky, and Tony/Rhodey, and Steve/Tony. I’ve never written Bucky/Tony, because Postcard’s so much better at it than me that it seems ridiculous to bother, but I definitely ship it! I’ve never written Steve/Rhodey, because I have a lottttt of really complicated headcanon about Rhodey’s feelings re: the Captain America mythos/the honesty of war propaganda/stuff that goes back to his childhood and his own heroes and how they were much more personal and “real” than Captain America/a LOT of stuff, and if I was going to write that story I would have to actually like, craft that mythos and that propaganda and figure out how to work it into the narrative without really jarring time jumps and THEN work through the actual romantic plotline, and I haven’t worked out how yet! And I may never work out how, but I DEFINITELY ship it. I ship all the things! You guys can feel free to ship all the things! I AM ALL ABOUT ALL THE SHIPPING OF ALL THE THINGS.
However, Rhodey/Bucky? IS AWESOME. Let me tell you why!
