Hi! I'm not sure if you and your wifey have discussed this at all, but in Going Up, Bucky was previously a fit guy from being at War (I think) how did he gain his weight from that point, to where the fic starts off at, where I think it's said he was about 230? Did he just, let himself go? Did he purposely gain that weight?

Oh, what a nice question, anon! Well, I’m not sure that @d-lightfulexcess and I had a super specific explanation beyond “Bucky’s getting chubby, that’s pretty hot, Steve thinks so too,” but I think I can speak for myself and my wife and say that Bucky probably just kinda…got out of the military and realized he didn’t have to care so much anymore? Like he could eat a pizza, or ice cream, or Oreos, or whatever, and there was no real reason not to do it, if it felt good and he wanted to? And he didn’t have to run five miles a day and hit the gym all the time, if he didn’t feel like it. He could order carryout and buy Girl Scout cookies and just live his life. And use the elevator. :)

So Bucky would probably have just been a chunky ex-military dude, except Steve shows up and tells him, “Hey, eat this ridiculous amount of stuff while I say obnoxious things to you,” and so of course Bucky does, because who can possibly resist that? And then…ta da! A very big Bucky ensues.

So, I know in Going Up, it's said that Bucky gains over 100 pounds since he's met Steve. But it's not mentioned that he's gained 200 (TWO. HUNDRED.) pounds since he 'got out' bc he says he was 175 when he got out, and at the end he was 373. I'll just. Be in my room all day.

Oh buddy. Pal. Friend. I’m so glad that you made that realization and enjoyed it, because I gotta tell you, @d-lightfulexcess and I enjoyed the shit out of writing that truly monumental pile of sin. We were, ah, having a moment and just got carried away. 200 lbs. TWO HUNDRED.

I am so happy you think that’s as glorious as we do. I may or may not have had to lock myself in my room over that fic, too.

Hi! Do you and your lovely internet wife plan on continuing the full disclosure/breathless story? With an even bigger Bucky?

Ohhhhh, anon, it’s funny that you ask that, because my beautiful wife and I actually just last week were discussing the fact that we needed a really, really big Bucky in our lives! So we started writing one – it’s a new fic, not a sequel to Breathless, but so far it’s been an absolute joy to write.

Look, I don’t wanna give anything away, but here are some things you should know about this fic:

1. Bucky’s gonna get fucking huge.

2. It’s a modern AU.

3. The working title is “Garbagey New Lows.” As in we’ve made it our goal to make it the trashiest, most unrepentantly kinky thing we’ve ever written.

@d-lightfulexcess, look darling! Someone else wants enormous Bucky as much as we do.

You guys, I swear, y'all say such nice things. @d-lightfulexcess , our latest inferno of filth is a hit. :)

me: ooh, that is a *great* idea for a fic

me: now, which of my friends can I get to write it?

Ah this is the anon who asked about the potential of more FDL!Steve in the future, I just realized I forgot to say thank you for answering and I totally understand about telling the story you wanted to tell. You guys certainly told one hell of a story!

Thank you so much!!!  It makes my kinky little heart sing to hear stuff like that.  :)

I have been trying to resist the urge to send anything like this or at least to hold out longer on it since I know you guys have other 'fics to write, but wow, Not Without You was a game-changer for me, my gateway to chub kink, and I have to ask. Is there any chance of FDL!Steve being revisited in the future? No pressure or anything, it just somehow seems that, what, 90k fantastic words were not enough for this masterpiece of a concept.

It was your chubby kink gateway?? Oh, that is just awesome, anon, and I’m so glad you liked it. 

So would we revisit FDL!Steve?  Well, my first thought when I saw your ask was that no, we probably wouldn’t, because @d-lightfulexcess and I had told the story we wanted to tell – all 90K indulgent words of it – and that we were done.  That said, we did write a little slice-of-life sequel to another fic of ours once, and it was great fun, so…there’s nothing planned for it, but we won’t rule it out.  Never say never!
