A Wintershieldshock Noir AU Moodboard ( for @darcylewisbingo square A1 Darcy x Steve x Bucky)
New York City. 1939.
PI Darcy Lewis has been struggling with her business since taking over after her father’s death. No one seems to want a woman as a Private Investigator. Most of her cases have her tracking down lost pets, misplaced packages, or figuring out who keeps stealing the daily newspaper of the neighborhood grump.
So when the two most notorious mobsters in the city step into her office one evening she’s embarassed as hell when the first thing out of her mouth is, “I thought you fellas would be older”.
James “Bucky” Barnes only gives her a smirk but Steve Rogers smiles and responds, “PI Lewis, we thought you’d be a fella.” Taking on the case of shady underground characters can’t be a good idea no matter how handsome they might be, but she’s gotta keep the lights on somehow.
Bucky Barnes is a man with missing time. He’d infamously disappeared only to reappear on Steve Rogers doorstep, his left arm replaced with a silver one and barely remembering his own name. But bits and pieces of his lost memory have been coming back to him in the form of nightmares and flashbacks followed by searing headaches. Rogers is determined to exact their bloody retribution but their connections, high and low, have led them to dead ends.
Darcy becomes drawn to the two men and they to her as they follow leads down grimy alleyways, smoke-filled bars, and glitzy nightclubs...all the way to the office of Mayor Alexander Pierce.
