Heart Attack Exchange

Sneaking in under the wire ahead of reveals ... I got two absolutely lovely gifts, both Falcon & Winter Soldier!

Rocks Fall (gen, 13k)
A routine mission to search an abandoned HYDRA building goes wrong when the place gets demolished ahead of schedule--with Sam, Bucky, and Zemo still inside. Good thing none of them have any traumatic memories this could bring up.

SO much gorgeous character insight and h/c!

In Name Only (Sam/Bucky/Zemo, 11k)
“I could always marry the guy, if it helps you sleep at night,” Bucky snaps in jest.
Ross takes him seriously, and it’s all downhill from here.

Arranged marriage to actual relationship with glorious piiiiiiining.

As usual, I haven't read as widely as I would have liked, but I did really enjoy these:

wrecked all along (Dark Matter, Six/Three, 16K)
Really sweet getting-together with cool use of virtual reality, set post-season-three.

Don't Let Me Down (TFATWS, Sam/Bucky, 10K)
Nice plotty getting-together fic.

Heart Attack reveals!

And the reveals are out, with their absolutely unshocking results! Here's what I wrote, both Falcon & Winter Soldier:

Break and Reset (gen, 14.9K)
Forced to relive the worst day of their lives over and over again, Bucky, Sam, and Zemo are each trapped in their own personal hell.

you ought to give me wedding rings (Bucky/Zemo + Sam, 12K)
A SHIELD mission sends Bucky, Zemo, and Sam undercover in the suburbs.

So yeah, that was fun! Next year apparently it's moving to spring - not 2022; spring 2023 - to avoid running into Yuletide season as it did this year, which might affect my ability to participate, but I'll see! I've really enjoyed it the last couple of years.
