Year of WinterBones

Year of WinterBones

Over at the WinterBones server, we've put together a year's worth of weekly prompts. They'll be posted over in the server and here, as well.

Each week will consist of three prompts: 2 SFW and 1 NSFW. You can use one, two, or all three if you like.

If you create a fanwork inspired by these, please tag it winterbones2024 so we can reblog it!

If you post your fanwork to AO3, we have a collection you can add it to: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/WinterBones2024

New for 2026!

Happy New Year!

This year, we've decided that instead of providing weekly or monthly prompts, we're going to run a prompt meme over on AO3. We've got a brand-new collection just waiting for your prompts and/or fills!

How does this work? If you have an idea and want to submit it as a prompt, fill out the prompt form; if you would rather get inspiration from what others have prompted, claim a fill from the existing requests.

What are the rules? This is a WinterBones event, which means Brock and Bucky must be the main ship. This includes platonic and non-romantic as well as poly ships! We just need Bucky & Brock featured prominently. All ratings and spectrum of prompts, from light to dark, are welcome.

Chapters: 8/? Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Captain America (Movies) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James “Bucky” Barnes & Brock Rumlow, James “Bucky” Barnes & Hydra Agents, James “Bucky” Barnes/Brock Rumlow, Jack Rollins/Brock Rumlow, James “Bucky” Barnes & Steve Rogers, James “Bucky” Barnes & Tony Stark Characters: James “Bucky” Barnes, Brock Rumlow, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark Additional Tags: Huddling For Warmth, Protective Brock Rumlow, Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, Hanahaki Disease, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Slow Romance, Developing Relationship, Pining, Pre-Hydra in SHIELD Reveal (Marvel), Language of Flowers, Vomiting, (not a lot but I thought I should tag it), Not Really Character Death, Angst with a Happy Ending, Bucky Barnes Needs a Hug Summary:

No matter how many times Hydra wipes him, a part of the Soldier remembers - a part of Bucky remembers. Memory is a malfunction… and not the only one.

When he remembers, the sickness gets worse. So, isn’t the best medicine to forget?

Through most of this, Brock remains oblivious until a chance meeting in a New York City park brings them together again. Will Bucky give up his cure for a chance at happiness? Will his healing factor give him a choice in the matter? And what will the Avengers going to do about this development?
