2024 Claims Post!!
Here are the summaries of fic up for claim in the 2024 Marvel Bang. The claims don't actually open until Saturday, September 21st at about 12 noon Eastern Time, but we want the fanworkers to have a chance to think about their claims now.
Authors, if your story is missing, or something else is wrong contact us ASAP so we can fix it.
This post will be closed to comments until claims open on Saturday. We will post a notice that claims are opening (around 12 noon Eastern Time), at which point we will open up the comments and each artist can claim ONE story. We want to allow artists time to claim stories, however at 3:00 PM Eastern Time on September 22nd we will open claims up for artists to claim more stories. Artists can claim up to 5 stories, although no story will be able to have more than one artist unless all stories have been claimed at least once.
When requesting your story, please list your top three choices in the order that you want them. Please give both the number and title of the fics you want (e.g., "1, Begin Again"). The claims will be on a first come, first served basis, and we will do our best to confirm your claim as soon as possible.
The post will be open for anonymous comments so that you can claim without joining Livejournal, but if you do, please be sure to list the username you signed up with in your claim.
Fanworkers, if you are not a member of the comm, please join by filling out this form after you make your claim. If you have any questions, please contact us on our page-a-mod post or on Discord.
Claims will close on Saturday, September 28th. Match-ups will be emailed as soon as possible; it will be up to the author to provide the artist with a copy of their draft at that point. If an author notices that their story has been claimed and confirmed before that point, and wants to send their story to their fanworker before match-ups are sent out, that's fine :)
And now, the summaries!

2)
Title: Hemiparese [working title]
Genre: Fluff, Slice of Life
Fandom/Universe: Avengers (Marvel Movies)
Characters/Pairings: James "Bucky" Barnes/Clint Barton
Warnings: Traumatic Brain Injury, Trauma, Aftermath of Brainwashing
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Summary: A failed experiment to remove the Winter Soldier programming from Bucky's mind left him with a traumatic brain injury and severe consequences. Most of the team is dealing with their own guilt, while Clint and Bucky mostly trying to get back to a normal life. Note: Clint is trans masc.
3)
Title: The blind Hawk
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
Fandom/Universe: N(MCU)
Characters/Pairings: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, Clint Barton & Matt Murdock (possible Clint/Matt at the end)
Warnings: MCD, injury, loss of vision, implied eatin disorder, implied self-harm (non-graphic)
Rating: Mature
Summary: One of Clint's first-ever missions as an Agent of SHIELD brings him to Hell's Kitchen to make sure a truck with dangerous chemicals makes it safely to its destination. When the truck crashes, both Clint and the young boy he saves get hit with the chemicals, leaving them with severe injuries and lasting damage to their vision. It takes Clint a long time to find his place in this new world, and even longer to learn that he wasn't the only one who's life was changed by the accident in more way than just the disability.
4)
Title: In the Wake of Victory
Genre: Romance
Fandom/Universe: MCU
Characters/Pairings: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
Warnings: brief mention of internalized-homophobia
Rating: Explicit
Summary: Set after the defeat of Thanos in Endgame, the remaining Avengers retreat to Wakanda to determine what’s next. One evening, Thor gifts Steve and Bucky a bottle of Asgardian mead, and the two spend the night reminiscing alone. Fueled by memories and drink, their passions surface, leading to an intense, emotional night together.
The next morning brings misunderstandings, but with some help from friends, things take a brighter turn. The story takes place entirely in Wakanda's palace, with vivid garden scenes, sunsets, and starry skies framing the journey. The focus is on Steve and Bucky’s evolving relationship, with moments of angst but a heartwarming, happy ending. I hope.
5)
Title: [TBD]
Genre: Dom/sub AU
Fandom/Universe: Marvel Cinematic Universe / Superior Iron Man/616 cross-over/fusion/merger

Summary: D/s AU - a merger of the MCU world and the 616/Superior Iron Man world.
ch1: Tony and Bucky are something more than FWB but less than a couple, both Doms, and looking for a new sub to add to their arrangement. Bucky goes over to the Columbia University area to scope out the offerings and returns with what may be the exact sub they're looking for. Back at the tower, the Doms take their new sub for a trial run to see if he'll work out.
ch2: Bucky is throwing a dinner party for some of their friends who wanted to meet their new sub, Peter. However, Peter has gotten himself into trouble and has to begin his punishment during the party. Peter's punishment carries through the rest of the evening while his Doms and their guests are enjoying each others' company.

It doesn’t take long for Bucky to realize that surprises are part of life, and Steve doesn’t always play by the rules.
