I’ve been thinking that! (Also: hiii I have not commented on your latest chapter yet but it sustained me through a very difficult Christmas In Retail afternoon!) Only this is an AU and i haven’t decided exactly how much of Bucky’s backstory is the same. (I’ve set it in… my hometown… in the early 00s. It’s super original, shut up! I just felt like all my shit is based on social media so I set it long enough ago that there wasn’t social media to remove the temptation. I make super great authorial choices, okay?)
If I remove the Russian part of his backstory (for time/context purposes) (I know, shh, I’m sad too) I was actually considering heroes of the American revolution because it would be hilariously history-dorky. (Also the hometown in question is real close to the Saratoga Battlefield so it’d be fun to make fugitive-Bucky spend time as a tourist at our super-lame local attractions. Look we have poles painted blue and red to represent the British and American troops! Check out this 70s-era silkscreened placard with an audio interpretation of the site including a hunting horn call used by Morgan’s Riflemen! Do not sit on the historic chairs!)
Aside: in non-AU universes, I have a headcanon that Steve had a huge crush on Jean Harlow, partly because she and Bucky (as played by Seb Stan) kinda have the same chin. I managed to work this into one story but only as a passing mention not from Steve’s POV, and I have not yet managed to have Natasha totally embarrass him about it, alas.
