Why is captain america x bucky fanfiction so popular?

In comics, while Bucky has taken on the mantle of Captain America at certain points, it's not a permanent or default status. Steve Rogers is the original and most commonly associated Captain America.

A fanfiction could focus on an alternate universe where Bucky becomes Captain America instead. He has to deal with the same ideals but in his own unique way, while also having to face Steve Rogers in a different role, perhaps as an advisor or a reluctant ally. This would create a lot of interesting character dynamics.

The popularity of 'Captain America x Reader' fanfiction lies in the character of Captain America himself. He is a symbol of heroism and justice. Fans love to imagine themselves in a relationship with such an iconic figure, experiencing the adventure and the emotional connection with him.

Well, I really like 'Shared Memories'. In this fanfic, it's all about Captain America and Bucky sharing memories that were long forgotten, which brings them closer than ever. Then there's 'A New Beginning' where they start a new life away from the chaos, building a relationship based on trust and love that they had in the past but lost along the way. 'Forgotten Promises' is also good as it unfolds the promises they made to each other long ago and how they are trying to fulfill them now.

Another one is 'The Winter Soldier's Redemption'. In this story, Bucky is on a journey to redeem himself and Steve is right there by his side. It explores their relationship in the context of Bucky coming to terms with his past actions.

The popularity is due to their complex relationship. They are two very different characters with strong beliefs. Their clashes and reconciliations in the movies make fans want to explore more in fanfics.

Sure, Bucky has been Captain America in the comic universe. This happened after specific storylines and events that led to the passing of the mantle or under special circumstances.

One common theme is loyalty. Their loyalty to each other is often a central part of the stories. They've been through so much together and would do anything for one another.

In the comics, Bucky didn't become Captain America. Captain America has mainly been associated with Steve Rogers. However, Bucky has had significant storylines and developments of his own.

No, Bucky doesn't become Captain America in the comics. Steve Rogers remains the main Captain America.
