Summary

Since everyone thinks they can ask all kinds of intrusive questions about Captain America, it's Bucky's duty to troll the hell out of them.

This is should be cannon. Even in a non-Steve/Bucky universe, I could totally see Bucky making up random shit just to screw with people and then being all, "Half the time I can't tell if they're fucking with me or not, so why shouldn't I get to return the favor?"Also, I desperately want to know what pre-serum Bucky trolling was like.

- 1944, In Allied Headquarters in Paris in the room next door to General De Gaulle, because Bucky couldn’t risk Steve dying a virgin and every prostitute in the city had been infected with a Hydra-created venereal disease that neutralised the effects of the super-soldier serum. - And of course, on Fury’s desk soon after recovering Bucky’s memories. Wow, Bucky is REALLY GOOD at stories. :D This was fun. Love the ending!

Troll level: epic! Bucky is hilarious and I love how the avengers join in and are improving. Well done!

I loved this so much! Keep it up! Leave it to Bucky to pull a stunt like this...! :D

Ahhahaahahaaa. Though I do question why Fury wouldn't have a huge, massive wooden desk that could intimidate visitors (and also support two big guys).

Oh! Oh, I was the OP of that prompt and this is everything I had hoped for and so much more - you even managed to work in every single one of my daft bonuses! That right there is talent :DI love Bucky and Steve in this and how Steve automatically backs Bucky up with his ridiculous stories, you can really tell that they've been friends for a very long time. And the stories themselves! Genius. I'm not sure whether my favourite part is Bucky trolling on Natasha's behalf about Department X's agricultural programme, or Bucky trying to convince a group of eight year olds that Jurassic Park is based on Steve's exploits during the war. Both made me have to stop reading for a while because I was laughing so hard, especially at Bucky telling Steve that he's helping the kids by teaching them how adults are untrustworthy lying bastards.Thank you so much for writing this and sharing it! I can see myself rereading it every time I need a good laugh and a good dose of BuckySteve feelings.

I think the addition of the biographer at the end was really good. It really brought to focus part of why Bucky was so often believed. People want a little magic and wow in their life especially in this day and age when things are so easily demystified. Whether it is captain America fighting Dinosaurs or 5 Agent Carters.

Freaking hilarious! I especially loved the stew related orgy, the doubles of Peggy, and Hill and the disappearing were-hair!

I am in tears from this fic, oh my god. Your humor is the best thing I've read all day. My roommate thought I was choking, I laughed so hard throughout. Bucky is my absolute favorite troll and you write these characters brilliantly. You deserve so much kudos.

I am quietly crying of laughter. This is A+ top quality crack -- all the trolls you described just kept getting better (the agricultural program! I would pay to see more fic of that, seriously you brought up the BEST mental images of Natash and tractors and spending time out on the commune in the mud omg. and punching out a dinosaur, with all the implications you discussed. Maria Hill (sensible lady) and the WERE-HAIR. where do you come up with this stuff???) but it was coupled with such heartwarming character portrayals. The strength of the Steve/Bucky bond, and then the increasing camaraderie with all the rest of the Avengers as they get trolled and then start joining Bucky in his trolling -- *wipes away happy tear* Thank you for giving me more strength to tackle the rest of my finals!

This is fantastic. If the raw version of the official biography ever got the released, the Internet (or at least my areas of it) would declare Bucky to be their Troll Overlord.

Oh my god, this is fabulous. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe at the Peggy Carter part, and the rest was also hilarious and this may have made my week.

Yay! Happy Bucky! Not PTSD Bucky! I'm still kind of weirded out by the fact that these seem to be the only two options and they both end up a little extreme, but it's nice. I like this ship. I like how easy it is for it to be happy and sarcastic or soul-crushingly depressing.The idea of Bucky and Clint becoming trolling buddies makes me very happy. This whole thing made me happy. All of it. Very happy. Here, have some extra happy. *proffers box full of giddy, uplifting feelings and Sebastian Stan smiles*

This is hysterical! It's great to come across something a bit more lighthearted in this fandom too - every post winter soldier fic is overly angsty. Awesome work :)

I just can't stop laughing. You know there are too many sad stories about winter soldier...Your story is different, and fantastic! Is that possible for me to get your permssion to translate this cute cute story into Chinese? I will include your original link and send you the link once I post it. ~~~

Oh man. The hilarity, so perfect. That tiny line that keeps Natasha as Bucky's ex stabbed me right in the heart, though, since the MCU seems to be ignoring that part of their history.

Oh my goodness I didn't know how much I wanted this until I read it and that tumblr post about Steve and Bucky making shit up to the avengers with a "you did not punch nazi dinosaurs" CAME TRUE IN HERE OMG. I'm. I love this. And I laughed a lot, so hard. Thank you very much for writing this beautiful gem.

I was a History major so the lying-about-biographical-history part kind of annoyed me, so I like to think that there was a disclaimer in the biography that some (all) of Bucky's statements may've been exaggerated or just made-up. Otherwise it was really cute.

I love this because it's just so undeniably cannon. Bucky would definitely do something like this and Steve's reactions are on point.

God, I'm so in love with this story *.*It's hilarious, yes, but it's some small details that just blow my mind - Bucky's protectiveness, Steve's playing along, warm feeling of 'becoming a part of the team'... Thank you very much :)And would you mind if I translate this story to Russian and post it there? I just have to share it :)Of course, I'll send you a link.

Now I want to read the epic where the whole 5 Peggy Carters thing was true and all the amazing adventures she (they) got up to. It would be awesome.
