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.
[ In the aftermath, Steve often feels like the only reason he can stay standing at all is that he's trying to be strong for Peter.
Tony had made a choice. He'd lived his life to the fullest, undefeated, unwavering, and unrelenting in his pursuit of what he needed to do to keep his family safe. To keep the entire universe safe. And Steve understands, even if he both loves and hates him for it, that Tony had made a choice. At that moment, he saw an opportunity to exchange his life, for the world's and he took it.
That's what they got into this business to do, wasn't it?
And despite all the years they've had together — borrowed time, they'd use to call it — both Steve and Tony had known that every mission was a risk. They'd both nearly died before, multiple times each, and when it came to the endgame, well, they both knew that neither of them had a choice. There was nothing they wouldn't do to get their son back. Even if it meant one, or both of their lives.
Steve has always known too, that as much he and Peter love each other, Pete's always been closer with his Dad. He doesn't blame him for it, after all, he takes after Tony, and Steve's seen the two of them talk about science until the sun set and then rose again.
After that final battle and the funeral, Steve tries. He tries to set the Avengers up to not need him anymore, because without Tony, without Natasha, he tries but he can tell his heart isn't in it anymore. A long time ago, he gave his own life to save this world. Now, he's given it the love of his life, and Steve just can't give any more.
And as the murals and altars and memorials never seem to stop, he asks Peter how he feels about going to the lake house and just getting away from all of this for a few days. Not enough to miss too much of school, and Steve knows he's got that big trip coming up, but just a few days for the two of them. God is he thankful that Pete said yes.
The kid must be exhausted too because as soon as they get there, Steve goes to check on his room and he sees him completely knocked out on his bed. He just grins then, before closing the door and going downstairs to make dinner. He'll leave some for Peter, so he can heat it up when he wakes.
As the sun sets though and Steve sits down on their bed, he feels a wave of grief start to bubble up from the bottom of his chest, and soon he has a handful of the covers scrunched inside his fist and tears rolling down his cheeks.
Why did you have to go Tony? he whispers, to the room that they'd spent so much time in over the last five years. And god, maybe it was a mistake to come here, because everything — left so undisturbed — still smells like him. It takes all that Steve can do to not just lock himself inside Tony's closet and cry.
But time passes, as it always does, and when Steve finally acknowledges that trying to sleep in that room was clearly a scheme to torture himself, he goes back downstairs.
A few hours later, when Peter tries to sneak his way down the old staircase, Steve looks up from the sketch he's been working on beneath the yellow light of an old lamp. Seeing his son is one of the only things that still makes him smile immediately these days. ]
Not yet. [ He says, with a small sigh. They both know his Dad was the one who always had sleep issues. ] Though— I can't say the same for you. Feel a little better now?
[ Peter moves to sit on a couch nearby. While it's true that Peter and Tony got along all too well, mainly from their shared interests, Peter has grown more overprotective of his Pop than usual. He always has been - it's one of those things that happen when your parents are superheroes, and sometimes it's hard to tell if you'll get them back at all. But, with one of his dads now gone, it's as if he just wants to make sure that he's okay. That he won't be alone. That he can at least keep him company, even if it's the least he can do. ]
Yeah. Yeah, it... I didn't realize how tired I was, I guess. [ He smiles slightly. ] I'm good now, though.
You want something to drink? I can make you a tea or something.
