Summary/snippet
The truck came to a halt, and they all stumbled out onto soft ground. It was full dark outside, but in the distance Sam could see lights, bright blueish white and warm yellow, stretching out in irregular patterns, like seeing a city from the air at night.
Directly to the side of the truck was a building, with stone steps and a ramp leading up to an open door; and standing in the doorway was a middle-aged man, wearing a patterned robe over loose trousers and sandals.
“Welcome, my friends,” he said, looking along the little row of filthy, exhausted Americans. Then he smiled, and said the last thing Sam was expecting to hear. “Welcome to Wakanda."
Sam Wilson grows up dreaming of Wakanda, convinced that the rumours of a rich, technologically advanced African country must be true. As an adult, he puts those stories aside to focus on the real world: military service, emergency medicine, activism. Later, he learns that the rumours are true.
(Also, along the way, he finds and loses and reunites with Bucky Barnes.)
A modern AU about identity, history, revolutionary movements, break-ups, therapy, and finding happiness in difficult circumstances.
