osprey_archer3. You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them?
I’ve long, long wanted to write a Steve/Bucky/Natasha fic, although at this point it seems unlikely unless Black Widow revitalizes my feelings for MCU fandom.
Bucky and Natasha have amazing overlapping histories as brainwashed assassins of the Soviet Union - I feel like they would understand each other in a way that no one else could understand them (although Natasha might also have this with Yelena... but that's a musing for another post), but also that this would create a claustrophobic intensity that Steve would really help leaven.
And Steve and Natasha have a great friendship, and I could definitely see them doing friends with benefits because they could both probably have sexual tension with a cactus, but adding Bucky to the mix would bring new depth to their relationships. Steve and Natasha are both characters who wear sarcastic, wise-cracking masks to hide their pain and uncertainty (in fact, so is Bucky; another reason they’d be a great OT3, they’d have a great time just joking around together), but Bucky understands parts of both of their pasts in a way few other people can, and he could act as a bridge between them.
