Summary:

“What do I do?” Steve appealed into the phone. “I’m freaking out.”

There was silence on the other end of the line. It lasted so long that Steve pulled the receiver away from his ear and frowned at it. Pay phones were old. Maybe this one wasn’t working despite the obvious dial tone when he picked up.

“Ok,” a stranger’s voice said over the phone. “First acknowledge the fact that you dialed the wrong number, but be quick about it because my cab is a few blocks away from my own plans and I’m about to drop some truth bombs on you.”

Hey @transformativeworks here’s an all-human au for you.

Thanks for the suggestion, @relenafanel! This looks like fun!

This fic has also been translated into 中文 and Русский, for those interested.

GUYZ.  Not only did przed do an amazing last minute pinch-hit of my Wuxia Avengers RBB, she then wrote an SBB fic where Bucky is Chinese-American and his adorable family basically adopts Steve and it’s like a combination of my favorite triad martial arts tropes and 1930s New York Chinatown.  (!!!!)

You should read  Gweilo Gongfu!

Steve Rogers doesn’t know much about Chinese culture when he makes a
wrong turn in Chinatown.  But a chance meeting gives him not only a new
friend, but an entry into a whole new world.  The more he learns from
Bucky, the closer they get, until Bucky is so much more than a friend.  
But when a Chinese gang goes after Bucky and his family, Steve knows he
needs to stand up and make sure the man he loves doesn’t lose
everything.

Anyway, przed had originally sent a draft of the fic to me being like “can you check if the Chinese stuff scans?” and then my hand slipped and I drew smol Bucky and Steve practicing Wing Chun.

I’d *actually* wanted to draw a picture of Steve with Bucky’s family, but I couldn’t make it by the SBB posting deadline.  So… here is the belated family pic, @trappingsofzed!

Captain America would kick Wonder Woman’s ass just sayin

As someone who loves my son Steve Rogers, I have to say that he could never kick Diana’s ass, like literally, and also he would never do that, because Steve Rogers would grow up idolising the mysterious hero from WW1, and would probably swoon if he got to meet her, would call her “ Your Majesty” unironically, until Diana has to literally punch him to make him stop, and even then, he’d call her “Ma’am” with the utmost respect, and also he’d follow her to Hell and back without blinking.

@next-great-adventure AND THEN THEY WOULD START A PODCAST

They would meet in Vichy France, and after he settled down around her they’d be fine. She’d call him Steven (because it still hurts a little to say Steve). She would teach him the Shield move, and when she called for it in battle he would crouch down with his shield raised, waiting to feel the impact of her boots, then launch her forward – at a line of panzers, across battlements. He would take half a minute to watch in awe as the dust billowed around her landing, watch her upend tanks and pulverize fortifications. Then he’d sprint after, taking out machine gun nests and artillery, and the Wehrmacht would have another tale of the two Allied soldiers with shields who they could never, ever defeat.

I so love the idea that little Stevie Rogers read about and idolized the mysterious superwoman who aided the Allies in the Great War.

I love “Patriotic Leotards” as a friendship OR a romance. Or as a mutual admiration society long before they meet in person.

I’m officially taking it as canon now that the reason Steve knew how to properly launch Natasha at the Chitauri is cuz Diana taught him, and no one can tell me different.

Imagine Peggy introducing them though. After Steve gets his round shield and is messing around trying to figure out how to use it, Peggy says, with a sly smile on her face, that there’s someone he needs to meet who can help him out. 

Like, Steve at first is thinking this tall, dark haired woman with the maybe greek??? accent is just one of Peggy’s friends in the SSR. Competent and skilled but a normal human. At least until she takes his shield, hefts it without any sign of strain, and then whips it across the target range and decapitates a practice dummy. She and Steve spend a good three hours working out how to get the shield to come back to him, they bounce it off defunct tanks and walls and Ms. Prince may or may not have accidentally/on purpose split the tank’s gun in half with one shot.

 Later the conversation turns to how Ms. Prince is a dear friend of Peggy’s mother, Etta Carter nee Candy. 

This just keeps getting better. Reblogging especially for that last headcanon.

ETTA CARTER.

OMFG YAAAAASSSSSSSSS

THE SILVER ANSWER: a @capreversebb​ stucky fic
art & book blurb by @ella-instead / fic by @dirtybinary

Steve Rogers never got the serum. He doesn’t have superhuman abilities. What he has is a paintbrush, some stage props, a stomach full of spite, and a Bucky Barnes.

It’s enough.

Wartime drama based on historical fact: Steve helps create the myth of the supersoldier through the top secret workings of the Ghost Army!

New works are being posted to the CapRBB AO3 Collection every day until July 4th.  Remember to check them out!

GUYZ, this fic!!!!  The basic premise is that Steve joins the Ghost Army and fabricates Captain America.  No one is serumed.  The Howlies include Peggy (for the punching) and Howard Stark (for making tank noises).

What I love about it is that it normalizes Steve and Bucky’s wartime experiences.  There’s no over-the-top world-saving, no special serum that makes their experience unique.  Steve’s still a tiny spitfire, and Bucky’s still coping with wartime trauma, and basically just being two people who care a lot about each other and being thrown into war.  Reading it made me think about all the people who fought in wars, then came home and went back to their lives and jobs – no ice, no HYDRA, just living.

I also love how Bucky and Steve fight with each other – their relationship is built from being stuck with each other and knowing each others’ stubbornness.   It’s much easier to write selfless!Bucky and noble!Steve, so I have extra appreciation for the nuance here.
