Tags: Stucky, Captain America, Winter Soldier, Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Brooklyn, 1934, Best friends since childhood, oh my god they were roommates, friends to lovers, idiots to lovers, Bucky Barnes needs a hug, angry chihuahua Steve rogers, references to other famous anti-nazi movies, the sound of music, you are sixteen going on seventeen, Bucky Barnes's gay panic, pre-WWII
Creator's notes: In my piece (alternate title: "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" after a song in the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music") I attempted to capture a moment in time that we otherwise can only imagine. In "Captain America: Civil War", there are two pieces of seemingly throw-away information about Steve and Bucky's past. One of Bucky’s brainwashing trigger words is “Семнадцать” (Russian for “seventeen”). According to Shuri of Wakanda, these triggers are tied to past memories with deep emotions and traumas and Bucky is a year older than Steve in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brock Rumlow (aka "Crossbones") taunts Steve to distract him from a bomb he is carrying, telling Steve: “Your pal, your buddy, your Bucky...He remembered you, got all weepy about it," and it WORKS. Steve completely misses the bomb, almost leading to an entire market full of innocent people being killed. Steve later says, “when Rumlow said Bucky, I was that 16-year-old kid in Brooklyn again” to explain his emotional distraction. These two strong emotional ties seem to indicate that something serious must have happened with the two of them and their relationship in 1934.

Comments
I was immediately struck by how similar the artist looks to pre-serum Steve Rogers; her slender face capped with straight blond hair in a short cut and striking light eyes are a fan artists dream model. Then i found out the original piece itself was a photo manipulation, I knew I had to put my own spin on the work.
