AU week - Marvel goes noir

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Hey kids,

I'm going with Sam-mun's suggestion of Marvel Noir for AU week. Steve is going to be both pre-serum (or no-serum, more realistically) and a member of the Irish mob in pre-war New York.

I found this Wiki article helpful for ideas and tropes.

If you're going with this AU for the week, would you link to your write-up or post it here? Thanks much.

I know Melinda May's mun and I were banding about the idea of a PI firm with her as the boss and Sam as one of her PIs. They aren't available for during that week but may post in for the weekend. I may post Sam in at least once, but I already have two, maybe three other AUs and am worried I may over extend myself. = ]

I'm not sure if this firm would be in Harlem or on the West Coast somewhere.

If it's in Harlem then it increases the liklihood of he and Steve having run into each other :D.

I'll have to wait and see what the boss says, it's her company after all. ; p

ETA: And looks like we're in San Francisco since it'd be more likely to support an Asian woman running a business.

Okey-dokey.

We could always have Sam grow up in Harlem and knew Steve and Bucky from then?

I'm having Sam also being a WW1 vet who fly planes, he could know Bucky from there and then Steve through Bucky before he headed West.

Headcanon accepted :) on my end. Run it past Bucky-mun too, would you? I don't know exactly what she's planning for Bucky's backstory.

[bjornwilde]

Will do!

Do you have a preference for childhood friends or war buddies?

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Childhood friends would probably work better. This version of Steve wouldn't be able to serve. Though of course if Sam knows Steve through Bucky... *hands* I'm not sure.

[bjornwilde]

I'll see if Bucky mun has a preference but list childhood friends as the slight preference.

And giving the link to the actual write up now, which included Melinda May's.
