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.
I'd say retired counts. And you are training the next generation. That's passing the torch.
[ Steve chuckles at the comment about Fury. The man's gone to death and back, and yet, Steve agrees. He'll never stop. ]
I'm not sure. I think ... I'm just gonna take it one step at a time. For now.
[ Steve's certainly thought about it. Sam's also been trying to convince him to stay — if not to fight, to train them, just like he did after Ultron. But after everything that's happened, staying doesn't feel right anymore. Visiting still does, but, if Peggy's taught him one thing, it's that his life can't revolve around this anymore. ]
Ehh, I don’t know about training the next generation. Arming them, making them better stuff... I can do that. I know Fury has people to do the same, but let’s face it, it won’t be good enough.
[ That’s usually the reasoning his mind comes up with whenever he thinks about this. He could step away, sure, but things won’t get done right. Not in certain things. So that’s why he’s still building. Or, well, planing on it. It’s the first time he admits it out loud, that his retirement won’t exactly be complete, but he blows past it because he doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal.
Instead, he just focuses on what Steve says. ]
That sounds good. If you ever want to travel just, you know, to travel, I have planes you can borrow. You’ll be more comfortable than in a regular airline.
[ Steve chuckles and gives Tony a nod. Oh yeah, he knows.
When Tony offers him a free ride on his planes though, Steve nearly chokes on his food. ]
Wow. Tony that's— really generous. [ He clears his throat quickly, just to make sure he's not actually choking. Just think of it. Captain America, killed by a cheeseburger. ] Thank you, but I ... [ You can tell that Steve's tempted, but not enough. ] ... can't. It just wouldn't feel right. Not unless you were already flying somewhere and I was just tagging along.
[ Okay, Steve’s reaction shouldn’t be so endearing (and since when does he find him endearing?) but he can’t help the small smile that crosses his face. Especially when he looks like he’s about to agree, before taking it back. ]
Oh c’mon, it’s not a big deal. I have a small fleet, it’s no problem.
[ His smile grows. ]
But if what it’ll take is for me to travel for you to go - fine. You’ll have to give me a couple of months, but it’ll give me time to plan an itinerary at least.
[ Steve watches that smile on Tony's face, knowing that if he's willing to offer in the first place, Tony's going to insist. What he doesn't expect though, is that Tony would actually volunteer to fly. ]
An itinerary? For ...?
[ There's no way. There's no way Tony is offering to plan an itinerary for them to go travel the world together. He must mean business. He may have retired from being Iron Man, but he's still Tony Stark, and he still has a business to run.
[ And for Tony, he just looks like it’s the most reasonable solution in the world. ]
...for a vacation? I mean. At least a trip. It’s a crime that you’ve mainly done it for work, there are places you should see. Lots of good food to try.
[ He finishes another bite of eggs as he gives Steve a chance to consider it before adding: ]
If you’d rather not, that’s fine. It’s not a big deal. But I mean, it’s not like I don’t have the time off, anyway, so if you want a reason to fly - I can fly with you. We can each go our own way if you want, though, so you’re not stuck with me.
Steve mostly looks surprised — and a little bit flustered — that Tony is offering to plan a vacation for them. But then Tony starts interpreting his hesitancy the wrong way and Steve interrupts. ]
-No no. I'd ... [ Steve's lips are parted, but he doesn't seem to know what to say for a moment. ] ... I'd really love it, actually. For us to travel together, not for work this time.
[ He grins. ] Plus, you're probably the best travel guide on the whole planet.
Good. [ He grins. ] I mean, I don’t know if I’m the best. But you’ll benefit from me skirting my CEO responsibilities back in the day, and the places I’ve gotten to explore.
Besides. You’ll be in charge of our camping trip, I can handle this one.
[ He takes a sip of his coffee before turning back to Steve. ]
So, if we could go anywhere right now, where would you want to go?
Yeah. [ Steve says, with a breathy laugh. ] Sounds like a very fair trade.
[ He organizes a weekend camping trip in Tony's backyard, and Tony organizes an international flight itinerary. Super fair. But then again, they are each organizing something in their own wheelhouse. ]
Tony ... [ Steve finishes the last bite of his burger then, eyebrows raised, letting his sentence just dangle there until he swallows. ] ... if I didn't know better, I'd think we just started planning our retirement together.
[ It's meant to be a joke, because of course two trips doesn't constitute an entire retirement. But there's also a warmth to the way Steve says it. Like he doesn't mind spending more and more time with Tony. Not at all. ]
[ Tony swallows the bite of food he had been chewing and chuckles when Steve points out that they’re planning their retirement. Together. For a long time he never figured they’d be able to share a meal together, let alone plan trips and retirement, but here they are. And, if he’s honest with himself, he’s actually looking forward to it all. ]
Yeah, I guess we are.
[ Steve may notice his features seem to soften a bit as he says it, and his smile only seems to grow on his face.
Setting the fork down, he takes another sip of coffee before leaning back again against the booth. There’s still some food on his plate, but he has eaten a good amount of it. It’s definitely progress, considering how he could hardly eat at first. He’s just comfortable now, so it helps to feel at ease. ]
[ It feels right. That's the best way Steve can describe it. It feels right that they're not fighting, that their past is in the past, and that now, the two of them have a shot at a real friendship after spending such a long time as teammates. ]
I've got a soft spot for any place that puts American cheese on cheeseburgers.
[ Steve actually looks like he could probably eat another burger if he wanted, but not today. ]
[ It definitely feels right. And, after everything, Tony’s just damn grateful that they’re in this spot. That they can actually get to know each other and be friends. ]
I’ll have to try that next time.
[ He considers it before shrugging slightly. ] I can go either way. Are you getting anything else?
