fillers or aus i would love to play running list; if you're interested in any of this, throw up a starter and i am there
steve + peggy
Peggy and Steve's reunion when he returns to the past.
That dance scene. /sobs
Anything about their life afterward.
steve + tony
Conversations about Peggy or Howard, or anything else they'd talk about during their 2-man mission to the past
First time Steve and Tony interact after Tony calls Steve out on how failing together sucks.
Did Steve and Tony ever talk during those 5 years? If so, what did that look like?
[au] Tony survives, but Steve doesn't know that when he goes back in time. So now Steve is really old and Tony is not.
[au] Tony survives and Steve comes back from returning the stones and they rebuild their relationship
steve + natasha
Awful life at Avengers compound before Ant-Man, basically lots of hurt/comfort with each other
[au] When Steve tells Natasha that maybe they should both move on, he asks her out on a date — it becomes a very sad attempt at moving on, but it's also a sad kind of solace.
steve + bucky
Honestly, they barely got any time back together. Steve and Buck MUST have talked before Steve just decided to go back in the past. Possible convo where he admits he's not coming back, and asking Bucky if he wants to return back to their time with him?
steve + anyone
So ... you can so Mjolnir now?
Conversations with various characters when he returns the stones to their rightful place in the past
Someone insisting on going back in time with Steve, and they return all the stones together and this person convinces Steve to come back (or, is convinced that he really doesn't want to)
shuri + anyone
Rebuilding the world from Wakanda
Meeting the other avengers
One-uping our science bros during reconstruction :D
tony stark (AI) + morgan/anyone
I imagine this will be mostly sass.
And with everyone who is not Morgan, this will basically be him joking about how he's going to live forever.
Steve grins when Howard says that Peggy won't go out with him — mostly because yes, despite how good of friends they've become, Steve's seen guys try to get Peggy's attention and fail. Hell, even when he did get her attention, she still shot a full round of bullets toward him.
Steve smiles even wider though when Howard can't quite finish his sentence about what he needs. When he gets to the part about Dum Dum, Steve has to say something. It comes out short and sweet: "I missed you too, Howard." He really did, in so many ways, and even if Steve won't tell Howard about the future, there's no way in hell that years from now, he won't be there to protect him on that fateful Christmas morning. No one — including Bucky — is going to hurt his friend. Not if he's around.
But as for the rest, he just shakes his head when Howard says he didn't mean to intrude. "It's alright. I think I may have overdone it a little, asking Peggy to keep it a secret for so long."
The rest is just heartwarming, especially that nudge on the shoulder. In response, Steve rests his hands on Howard's shoulders. "I won't tell you much, but I will tell you this. From what I saw in the 21st century, you and Peggy left a real legacy." He takes a big breath. "As for me ... I think I might just take a break for now. When I'm ready, I wanna help with SHIELD, but I'm not sure if I can do it as ... well, me. Maybe you can help me think that through."
Decades from now, a version of Steve will be found by SHIELD at the bottom of the ocean. He wants that man to be able to live his life too.
