Now you must be wondering why this A/N update all of a sudden? Well, it's because some assholes love pissing me off, and it seems like they won't learn until I tell them off.

So, I've been getting comments criticizing me over pairing Bucky and Natasha, just look at the one on top for example. And this one was the least offensive, the more offensive ones have been deleted.

So first of all, do your research people. Bucky and Natasha were a pairing in the comics, and they have a huge fan-base among the comic book readers. So the pairing is canon to Marvel. Just because it's not in the MCU doesn't mean it's not in Marvel. Also, Natasha said to Bucky in Civil War- "You could at least recognize me." Doesn't ring a bell? Really? And no, she wasn't trying to remind him of shooting her twice, why would she do that? So that is a clear reference to their relationship, a shame MCU didn't follow up on that.

But here's the thing, even if Bucky and Natasha weren't a couple in the comics, this site is literally called 'Fanfiction' for the sake of the Gods! I can pair whoever I want, it's up to me.

If I want to write a story where I have Cap with every single woman in the MCU in a polyamorous relationship, and I want to describe the sex scenes between Cap and all those women in graphic, dirty detail, then fuck I'll do it!

Oh wait! Already did that.

If I want to write a story where I treat characters I hate like trash or even torture and murder them, then fuck I'll do it!

Wait! Done that over 50 times now.

You want to criticize me? You can criticize me over some writing choices, plot points, way of writing characters, but don't criticize me over pairings. Everyone is free to ship whoever they want (only time I'll judge you would be if you ship incest pairings, or WestAllen in the CW, or Willow/Kennedy in Buffyverse).

Also, here are some fun facts- Sebastian Stan himself ships Bucky/Natasha, he has said several times he'd love to see it in the MCU. And Scarlett Johannsson hasn't objected to the pairing either.

In contrast, I have not seen a single writer or actor say one positive alphabet about the Natasha/Bruce crap.

Here's my problem with that crap- There was no build-up, no chemistry, and their similarities were also literally forced into existence. Also, no interactions of the romantic kind in the first film. Plus, cringe! Whoever thought up that plotline in the 2nd film (probably Joss himself) needs expert help, not that it would do much.

If they didn't want to do Bucky/Natasha, they should have done Steve/Natasha, that would have made perfect sense too, plus there was clearly good build-up to that pairing as well in 'The Winter Solider'.

Bucky/Natasha have actual similarities, and a past in the comics, which could easily be true for MCU as well.

Either way, what I don't like is being slagged over pairings, even though it's been over a year since I finished this story.

And, Abhiram Shyam, just because I didn't approve your comments doesn't mean I didn't see them. The moment you said you consider Bucky/Natasha worse than Bruce/Natasha and WestAllen, I knew you were braindead, and nothing you say should be taken even 0.1% seriously.

As for what you said on Civil War, we have clearly seen very different movies, because what you're saying is bullshit, and you clearly have no guts since you're arguing long after I finished this story, and that too as a guest so I can't reply to you. Don't let me see you around my stuff again. Get lost.

So, anyway, if you don't like something I do, and can't read it with an open mind, there is an invention you should know about- the back button! Use it! Don't whine. If I ever see something I don't like in any fic, I use that lovely back button, it is the most sensible option.

You people, specifically those who're slagging me over WinterWidow, should also learn this. If you don't want to read whatever I write with an open mind, use the back button instead of slagging me, because you're wasting both of our times with that crap.

And, that's all there is to say. I'm sorry for this, but I needed to let that out, since that top comment and the Abhiram Shyam moron drove me over the edge.

Have a good day everyone, and stay safe from the coronavirus too.
