Summary: Bucky and Sam fall out of a HYDRA plane into the Canadian wilderness. Nothing like a hundred-mile walk to civilization while severely injured and being hunted by HYDRA, right?

The "Sam and Bucky in the wilderness" story is finally DONE. So, if you were waiting because you didn't want to read it as a WiP, it's good to go! (I may eventually add an epilogue with more character stuff afterwards, but that's a "maybe someday" thing; the story is complete as-is.)

ETA: Here's a link to the latest and final chapter if you've been reading along and that's more convenient.

Congratulations on finishing it!

Thank you! \o/ (It only took me like a YEAR. >_>)

Oh, ho! Some first class gen with two of my MCU favs. This is great!

[sholio]

Awww, thanks! I hope you enjoy it. :)

I did! It was everything I like in a good action-adventure story but with more character insight. Sam's a marvelous view point character. Not that I don't like him, but I loved that this wasn't about Steve or Steve's relationship with Bucky. The bonding between Sam and Bucky worked perfectly and you never wrote Bucky as a basket case or Sam as intrusively know-it-all. You managed a lot of action without lots of gore and ugliness, which is a hard row to hoe, too. And the story is just the right length, it feels complete and solid, but doesn't drag out beyond the plot's support.

Thank you for writing it, it was a breath of fresh air.

Hurray! Congratulations on finishing this story. I really look forward to reading it. :)

[amalthia]

P.S. I love this story concept! There aren't all that many Sam and Bucky adventure fics.

[sholio]

Thank you so much; I hope you enjoy it when you read it! :) And yeah, that's EXACTLY why I wrote it, because I had noticed the lack of Sam & Bucky fic, and then someone left a prompt at one of the prompt comms asking for some, so I had to write it! (I just didn't expect to still be working on it a year later ... XD)

[amalthia]

Better late than never. :)

:D :D :D

Congratulations on finishing a giant thing! Even aside from the fact that it's a fic that I really really enjoyed a lot, which it definitely is. Gen and team bonding and h/c (sort of; mostly h, admittedly) and friends insulting each other to cement their friendship!
