Excerpts

What about Wintershock as a pairing appeals to you?

I love Darcy and Bucky both as individual characters and as a pairing. Bucky Barnes is one of my all-time favorite characters, and I think that he and Darcy are wonderfully complementary. He’s been through so much, and I think Darcy’s special brand of irreverence would draw him out of his shell. Plus, the sass on those two? It keeps me giggling for days.

Do you have any specific Wintershock headcanons?

I have a couple! I think Bucky would be touch-starved, for one. I’m a sucker for fics that include that in the development of his relationship with Darcy. Second, I think Darcy would have no problem treating Bucky like a normal human being and less like a terrifying assassin, which would utterly throw him off. Lastly, I really like the idea of Bucky acknowledging his PTSD and getting a therapy dog.

What kind of Wintershock story would you love to read that hasn’t been written yet by you or others?

I’m a sucker for any kind of AU. I would love a mirror ‘verse where the Avengers are a team comprised of the badass ladies we know and love (Pepper, Nat, Jane, Wanda, etc.). Double points if Bucky gets to be a damsel in distress!
