Funny story behind this one. So, I was assigned to rachelmanija and we matched on either Sam/Bucky or Punisher. I ended up defaulting, but then when I realized I had a gift anyway (which was AMAZING and you all need to read immediately if Falcon & Winter Soldier is your thing) I wanted to write SOMETHING, so I started writing this as a treat for my original recip. I ran out of time to finish, so I shelved it about 2K into the story, but then a very last-minute pinch hit showed up and, as it turned out, this fit their request even better - it couldn't have been better timed, honestly! So basically the end result was as if I'd never dropped out at all; I got a very nice present and I wrote a very similar story to what I would probably have written if I'd stayed in.

I defaulted due to busyness, then treated my original recipient with the story I'd intended to write them when assignments went out.

I love how essentially, both of us ended up with the exact same exchange experience we would've had if we hadn't defaulted - we both got gifts; we both wrote what we would have written anyway - except with less pressure. By total accident, but still.
