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.

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

Hm on skinny Steve. Some hand wavey magic later and skinny Steve is in big Steve’s place, how does the dynamic of the barbershop quartet change? Does it? How does the others think of this change? How does Steve? (In the sense for Steve, does it kind of thrill him that he isn’t the strongest in the room anymore? What does Nat and Sam think? How does Bucky recat to his Lil Steve again?)
unclesteeb-deactivated20180323:
oooooohh!! This is good! Let’s assume that Steve’s either not full of illness or gets immediate and proper medication so that he’s good to go. Let’s also assume is temporary so Steve’s not having a ridiculous crisis.
Sam would be the one to enjoy it the most for non-sexual reasons I think. He either makes Steve run with him or makes Steve watch him run and he laughs and laughs the entire time. Payback’s a bitch. Besides all the petty reasons though, I think he really enjoys seeing Steve smaller and that even though all his giant muscles are gone, he still has all the same bravado that he had before. Sam would be the snappiest about it. He picks Steve up at least once just so he can say he did it. I feel like Sam doesn’t let up on Steve at all because he doesn’t see Steve any differently if he’s big or small. It makes the least bit of sexual difference to him but he finally gets to try out some more acrobatic stuff on him now that he doesn’t weigh a ton.
Natasha? Loves it. Like, really loves it. It’s still her Steve but now she can crush him like a bug and tbh Steve’s just as into that as she is. She probably literally walks all over him and spends a lot of time riding him. So… not much changes there tbh. Nat’s super into skinny Steve though. I feel like knowing Steve skinny is a window into his soul. All the weird mannerisms that seemed odd for a giant man to do make sense on a little guy. She figures out that Steve’s still that little guy even when he’s big, he just can’t hold her up against a wall and fuck him anymore. Natasha’s probably super turned on by understanding the inner workings of someone’s mind. Since Steve’s super libido is gone too she also spends a lot of time sitting on his face.
Bucky’s interesting because it could go one of two ways. He could either be like ‘holy shit there’s the Steve I miss/ never got to fuck I gotta do him like I’ve wanted to for forever’ or ‘wtf this is weird and wrong and I’m gonna kill my tiny friend’! Either way it takes Bucky a while to come around but when he does, he really does. Bucky’s always a little sweet with Steve but when he’s tiny it’s amplified. It drives Steve crazy because he doesn’t want sweetness so he pushes and pushes and eventually gets Bucky to treat him how he wants. (He wants to get rekt)
Steve himself is probably extra needy and a little whiny and eventually decides that there’s no need to be miserable when his lovers can all pick him up and toss him around now.
FXCGJKJLKJ OR STEVE & HIS NONSENSE FEATURING “You broke what?!?” – “Don’t worry, I’m okay.” OR “The doctor said it’s normal” – “Well that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.” FT. MEMBER(S) OF THE BARBERSHOP QUARTET
Sam laid in bed and considered the idea that he was dying.
“You’re not dying,” Steve said, but he was holding his hand in a worrying grip that really didn’t reassure him.
“I feel like I’m dying,” Sam said.
“Serves you right,” Bucky muttered from where he was pacing in concern in the opposite side of the hotel room.
“The doctor said it’s normal,” Natasha said. She stood perfectly still at the base of the bed. She hadn’t moved a muscle for twenty minutes. She was worried too.
“Well, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt,” Sam grumbled, wincing as his ribs pulled.
Run away with me, Steve said. It’ll be fun, Steve said. You won’t nearly die in a freak explosion, Sam, Steve said.
“This is all my fault,” Steve whispered, pressing his forehead to their hands.
“No, c’mon,” Sam said, squeezing Steve’s hand. “It was that fucking Nazi’s fault.”
Steve gave Sam the big, pleading puppy-dog eyes. “I’m so sorry, Sammy.”
“He’ll be fine,” Natasha said, voice clipped. She finally moved, sitting on the bed by Sam’s feet. She put her hand on his ankle. “You’ll be fine,” she said in a softer voice.
“This sucks,” Bucky said, coming to sit by Sam’s other side like that was something he did. “You motherfucker.”
“I’d push you into an explosion,” Sam said exhaustedly, trying for a smile.
“Fucker,” Bucky said, looking away, blinking rapidly.
“Let’s watch a movie,” Sam said after a minute. “Take my mind off shit. Cuddle up, bitches.”
“We don’t want to hurt you,” Steve said, hesitating, even as Natasha and Bucky started to move to curl around Sam.
“Come here,” Sam said quietly.
They watched a damn movie. Sam passed out within twenty minutes.

Everything was spiraling out of control, and Bucky didn’t know how to stop it. Didn’t know how to take any of it back or make it go away.
“Look, just…” He scrubbed a hand over his face. “Just forget I said anything, okay? You’re standing up to bullies. You’re doing the right thing.” He tried to smile. “What’s done is done. No going back.”
After a few bottles of cheap booze and some coaxing from Steve, Bucky finds himself opening up. About everything. And somehow, that ends in kissing. (Which means what for them…?)
An artistic collaboration for Captain America Reverse Big Bang 2017! (@capreversebb)
Many thanks to frostyemma for writing this adorably angsty fic, for sending me the perfect scene to draw for, and for being so agreeable to my last-minute shenanigans. Thanks also to the CapRBB Slack for all the art feedback, and working with me until the kiss didn’t look like they were just nose-jousting. 😀
