Summary: Several years before Sam was born, a Supreme Court ruling decided that those who carried and visibly expressed a hereditary winged trait could not be mutilated, amputated, or otherwise altered without their consent, nor could they be discriminated against for housing, employment, etc. based on their possession of wings.
I just read this and had to run over to rec it, because it is AMAZING. The worldbuilding is incredible, and it slots perfectly into canon, the AU differences working seamlessly with what is already there. Sam, Sam, Sam! And Steve, and Bucky, and OCs so vivid that I'm sad they aren't actually going to be in the movies. There is lots of good fic in this fandom, but I think this is one of my absolute favorites, the kind of story you come back to again and again because it's not only amazing fanfic but good fiction, period.

The world that Sam grows up in is one that remembers when it had been different. [Wing!fic AU.]
