You think you were late? Just see how long it took me to fill these asks 😂
Eddie amends, “Until the kids need to head home.”
“Until the kids need to head home,” Steve agrees. “And then again, I’ll come back and let you know when it’s safe to come out of course, but then I have to head out.”
I’m by no means a fan artist, but I just got an Apple Pencil, so I doodled out this sketchy screencap redraw with a quote from another of the first fics I read in the Stranger Things fandom, I’d Burn the Castle for You by @aidaronan
The crown is a reference to the painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Steve might relate to the idea of “too much reign,” a phrase I saw repeated in one of Basquiat’s paintings.

Summary:
Jim fidgeted where they stood, looking down at where Oluwande held their hands before meeting Olu’s eyes.
“Roach then?” Jim raised one of their eyebrows.
“Roach.” Olu shrugged.
Jim's face softened, a grin playing at one corner of their mouth. “Guess it’d only be, like, the fifth most dangerous thing I’ve done this year.”

So naturally Steve starts giving him things. Handing Eddie back those little outward markers of who he is.

I give my hand to you with all my heart. I can’t wait to live my life with you, I can’t wait to start. Steve and Bucky are getting married! Below are my Top 5 Favorite stories:
“We didn’t need this to love each other, but I’m glad we get to do it anyway” (T, 1k) by AidaRonan
In an alternate universe where they never go to war, Steve and Bucky live a whole lifetime together.
They're near the end of the line now, but there's still time to make it official.
Or the one where same-sex marriage finally gets legalized in NY and two very old men do the thing.
+ Modern AU. They got to grow old together! Courthouse weddings and heartfelt vows.

“My Big Fat Wolf Wedding” (T, 12k) by AggressiveWhenStartled, galwednesday, quietnight, silentwalrus, skellerbvvt
“MARRIED?”
“Basically married. Permanently engaged anyway. Weres have their own deal.” Natasha sounds much, much too gleeful about Steve’s rapidly expanding personal hell. “So you better wake your blushing bride and tell him the happy news: that it was an accident and you had no idea what you were doing.”
“I,” Steve says, strangled. “I can’t do that!”
“You can’t?”
“He thought I was proposing! And he accepted!”
“Wow, maybe he’s just as dumb as you are,” Natasha says thoughtfully.
“I can’t just promise him a ring, take him home, drink from him three times in a row and then wake him up the next morning to say oops, just kidding!” Steve casts around, looking at his wreck of an apartment. “I don’t even have any good champagne!”
+ Modern AU. Vampire Steve and Werewolf Bucky. Mistaken identity, accidental proposals, wedding planning, family gossip, and idiots in love. This was published a few days ago and if you haven’t read it yet, you MUST
-☆-
“just goddamn marry me already, for fuck's sake” (E, 6k) by newsbypostcard
"Do you," Steve says, fingers newly tugging Bucky's underwear until it starts to slide off his hips, "want to marry me, or not?"
Bucky sighs. "You know, in some circles people would consider this interrogation under duress."
+ Post CW. They’re practically married already, but Steve wants to make it an official forever. Lovely wedding vows in Central Park

“All the things yet to come are the things that have passed” (T, 9k) by sangha
Peter gets underestimated. Everyone calls him “kid,” as if he’s not part of the Avengers. Well anyway, contrary to what the others may think, he does notice things. Being in high school is good for something. Noticing when people have crushes, for one.
Nobody else seems to notice the way Captain America looks at the Winter Soldier. Peter is still not sure how to act around Cap. He’s a little intimidating, not a very approachable guy. He always looks very severe and serious and to be honest, Peter’s arms still hurt when he thinks about the fight at the airport. But when Steve’s looking at the Winter Soldier, he looks a lot more approachable. Softer, somehow. Peter likes him better that way. Not that he’d ever dare say that to Captain America’s face. He’s not in any hurry to die again. Anyway, the point is, Cap clearly has it bad for his best friend.
+ Post CW. Very cute. Peter and Bucky friendship, proposals, and a simple wedding.

“Brookland House” (E, 8k) by Ark
“You seem distressed, my angel. Are you not pleased with the match? The word from court is that Lord James Barnes is an upstanding gentleman, not given to the wild circles around the Prince Regent. And Steve, it was he who asked for you. The young man has kept you in mind all these years -- despite our circumstances.”
+ Historical AU. Arranged marriage, childhood friends, and a long awaited wedding night

“les voleurs de mariage” (G, 988 words) by silentwalrus
Anon asked:
Sorry if this is too much. I've been obsessed with better than to bend since I read it. I can't help but imagine if Steve was found earlier, Bucky was rescued and Steve married both of them like he wanted and lived their lives. Do you have any headcanons on this version? Details!! I want them to be h a p p y and it's too much to ask for in canon. And! In ITHLYN does the team ever find out Steve's relationships with both? I'd LOVE to see you write out their reactions. Only if you want to. Thanks!
+ Post WW2. Bucky gets rescued and marries Steve in France. Crackfic, Outside POV. Tagged for Steve/Bucky/Peggy but there’s no Peggy romance actually in the story

In a nicer reality, we have President Bucky or President Steve, or one of them related to the president. Below are my Top 5 Favorite stories:
“No Faraway Shore” (T, 56k) by eyres
President James Barnes has spent his career saying that the defining moment of his life was when he discovered that Steve Rogers had sacrificed himself while Bucky had lain in a New York hospital bed with only one arm.
Now, Bucky would say it was when SHIELD told him Steve was alive.
The one where Bucky is President, Steve makes friends and enemies in the future, and a wedding in the Rose Garden has to wait until Hydra is defeated again.
+ WW2 to Defrosting. Bucky gets his Steve back and it’s everything you ever wanted. Vice President Pierce (yikes, right?), Project Insight, and happy endings
-☆-
“Five Times TJ Hammond was Mistaken for Bucky Barnes (and One Time He Wasn’t)” (T, 10k) by eleanor_lavish
Looking in the mirror that night, TJ tilts his head this way and that, trying to see the angles of his face better, the cleft in his chin, the blue eyes under dark eyebrows. He glances down at the history book open on the counter, a black and white photo of a guy in an Army uniform smiling up at him with the same eyes, the same chin. James Buchanan Barnes, it reads. TJ looks back up at the mirror. Thomas James Hammond looks back at him.
“Nice to meet you, Uncle Bucky,” TJ says, and his reflection smiles back.
+ Defrosting to Post WS. After the helicarriers, Bucky hides out with his Great Nephew until he’s ready to see Steve again.

“The Royal Crown Cures Not The Headache” (T, 20k) by mambo
Prince James is the "People's Prince", second in line for the throne of the United States, and the most eligible bachelor in the world.
So why does Steve find Prince James crying at the Princess' wedding?
+ Shrunkyclunks. Bucky and Steve spend a lot of time together, and figure out what they want after a kidnapping threatens the line of succession. (Bucky lives in the White House so I’m counting it here and not in the Royalty list)
-☆-
“Political Ties” (E, 3k) by AidaRonan
Steve and Bucky are both running in the 2020 election against Schmidt. Polls show them leading the pack as the country inches closer to primaries, but Steve thinks Bucky sits a little too close to the center, and Bucky, well, it's hard not to listen when a guy like Steve speaks.
(Based on a Twitter conversation about rival politicians Steve & Bucky wherein Steve radicalizes Bucky with his dick.)
+ Modern AU. Steve fucks Bucky in a bathroom and gets a vice-president
-☆-
“Mr. Brightside” (T, 5k) by crinklefries
“How would you rank it?” Bucky asks, abruptly. He pushes a hand into his messy, sweaty curls and Steve watches him hungrily. “Your inauguration.”It’s not presidential, to watch the son of your Vice President hungrily, but maybe he should have had more at dinner and less at the...after dinner. “Top five for sure,” Steve says. “Maybe top three.”
+ Modern AU. President Steve gets to know Bucky at his inauguration ball. Joyful and magnetic
