Journal of Sam Wilson

by Mel Morganne

As Sam struggles with 'normal' life after his time in the army, his sister gives him this journal. Hesitant about the idea at first, he soon realizes it's a good outlet for his thoughts and emotions as he adjusts to living in New York, moving to Washington and meeting some people that are about to change his life forever.

1. Prologue

Author's Note: Hey all! After rewatching The Winter Soldier I was really intrigued by Sam Wilson's character and his story. I started scribbling down some ideas which turned into this journal-esque story. It starts sometime after he left the army (which I put into the MCU timeline just before the Battle of New York) and continues through the events of The Winter Soldier and when he joins the Avengers.

This story will be dealing with a lot of angst and heavy stuff like PTSD, depression and suicide so please be warned. I will try and keep it balanced with some lighter fluff as well though. Also there is a fair amount of language but I try and keep it at the same level as the movies themselves.

I'd also like to mention that I have not read any Marvel Comics so my inspiration comes from the movies only and some random Wiki searches for background info. But a lot of this is my headcanon or inspired from other things.

So enjoy and please let me know what you think! Reviews are welcome!
