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.
Mmmmm. [ Steve hums, with a sleepy kind of satisfaction. ] I bet your pancakes will be great. [ Steve realizes on his next breath that Tony hadn't said he was going to make pancakes, specifically. ] Or any kinda breakfast you make. I bet I'll love it. [ Because I love you.
But even now, with his eyes a droopy, there's still a pretty grin on Steve's face as he shifts a little to cuddle Tony closer, to wrap them both up like a cocoon in the sheets. ]
[ He chuckles softly under his breath. ] Sure, if you don’t mind frozen pancakes. But, I’ll make you something. Not just coffee, either.
[ Tony closes his eyes, the smile on his face settled permanently settled on his lips. I love you, he can’t help but think, drifting off peacefully against him. ]
[ In the years after the snap, sleep has come to Steve much more easily than it had before. But with the warmth of Tony's body pressed against him, that sleep comes easier still. No matter how Steve has looked on the outside, on the inside, he wants nothing more than to protect people, and now, with his arms wrapped rather protectively around Tony, he drifts right after him to sleep.
When morning comes, for Steve, it comes slowly — as if it takes him a while to shift back into normal gear. The first few looks he gets of the room through sleepy eyes are fuzzy, but Steve rubs them a little and that shift is enough to shift Tony a little. One look down at him though and Steve just lets his head fall back down on the pillow, a small, satisfied grin on his face.
The whole weekend comes rushing back to him after that. ]
[ Although for years Tony had trouble sleeping, things improved ever since Thanos was finally defeated. It hadn’t been just from the painkillers and muscle relaxants, although even he’d be the first to admit that they had definitely helped in easing things for him. It had been the peace of mind that no medicine could bring him. Sometimes he’d find himself awake at random moments of the night, but it had nothing to do with awful nightmares or a heavy sense of guilt that made it impossible to breathe. It’d usually be agonizing phantom pains along his right arm, or just good old insomnia, but overall he didn’t even mind it.
Tonight there’s none of that, though. He’s far too comfortable in Steve’s arms to even move, and when he does it’s only to readjust enough to fall back asleep within moments. His body aches, and he’s tired, but it’s in the best way possible and resting against Steve feels like the best thing in the world.
By the time Steve moves, Tony’s already lingering between sleep and consciousness, so the shift makes him open his eyes slightly. The windows in the room room are well protected by all the tall trees around the property, letting the sunlight filter through but muting it enough to let them wake up at their own pace. Between that, and the warmth that Steve’s body is emitting, Tony just smiles drowsily as he nuzzles closer against him. How bad would it be, he wonders, if he delays his rehab one more day? ]
[ Is this really only day three? Steve thinks to himself, feeling like that's completely impossible. He kisses Tony's forehead then — he can't help it, with Tony so close and so intimately curled on top of him. ]
Morning. [ He says, slowly and like they had all the time in the world to enjoy this. In a way, it really feels like they have an eternity, given how short he'd expected his own life to be years ago.
He nuzzles closer to Tony too, wondering in turn, how easy it would be to fall back asleep again if they wanted to. ]
[ The words are more or less slurred, sleepy but the smile that’s on his lips is more or less audible anyway. He shifts his head just enough to press a kiss against his shoulder before settling back down. ]
You know...I think we should just stay here forever.
they're so soft and cute
But even now, with his eyes a droopy, there's still a pretty grin on Steve's face as he shifts a little to cuddle Tony closer, to wrap them both up like a cocoon in the sheets. ]
I can't wait. [ He says, soft as a whisper. ]
yesss they’re adorable ❤️
