I know you ship Darcy/Bucky but please tell us why.
I’m of the ‘ship Darcy Lewis with everyone’ camp, but these two have a special place in my heart, for reasons I explain below.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
Darcy’s bubbly and filterless personality is something I think Bucky would probably be drawn to as he tries to get a handle on his place in the world. She isn’t afraid to say what she means, especially if it’s true, even if it will get her in trouble. Throw in Bucky’s often tight-lipped, gruff exterior and protective streak, and the fact that he’s grown up taking care of Steve, and hi, hello, it’s basically my favourite kind of ship dynamic.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
I’ve written these two a variety of ways and with a few different power dynamics. I think I tend to write Bucky a little closer to what we see in TFATWS (which, in itself might be unpopular, depending on your views): Less outwardly vulnerable, unless he’s alone and behind closed doors, a penchant to laugh things off and fudge the truth if it means he won’t have to talk about his feelings, and a little restless.
But again, I don’t have any hard rules for either of these two.
Send me a ship and I’ll answer three questions based on if I ship it or not.
