RE:   S/AM W/ILSON AND F/ATWS.   

BASIC INFORMATION:   i understand what i’m doing with this verse is changing a big portion of the show, and characters involved may not agree. i’m open to shifting the plots around, however this is the verse i will be defaulting to. (PERSONALS DNI)

CONNECTIONS:   this verse is tied to @toscrve​​​​​​ / autumn’s steve. i’m open to writing with other steve rpers, but otherwise i’m going to be referring to steve as both alive and not old. additionally, this verse is tied to @falquin​​​​​​ / sarah’s j/oaquin, as the show severely diminished his role and we need to change that. 

PLOT POINTS AND DIVERGENCES:   under the cut for length. 

PRE SERIES:   while steve did give sam the shield, the american government was still not done with steve and sam after the events of civil war and infinity war. the shield was taken during the pardoning trials, with the unspoken notion that it wasn’t going to be given back. both steve and sam were powerless to do anything about it, but they were determined to continue to help people regardless. when steve when underground as commander, sam went back to acting as the falcon. he did not work for the air force — he isn’t interested in serving ever again, and is past that point of trauma in his life. while he doesn’t have the title of “avenger” necessarily, that’s the idea of his role. j/oaquin t/orres is his liaison in the air force. he came at the personal recommendation of steve, as the two had met in his grief counseling sessions during the snap. sam didn’t want to deal with the air force directly but needed eyes and ears, and t/orres became that role for him. because of how many missions sam worked with t/orres, the two became very close, and are already incredibly good friends when the series starts. this sets up where sam is at the beginning of the series. 

EPISODE ONE:   sam seeing j/ohn w/alker receive the shield is one of the hardest moments of his life; he was forced to give up the shield, and now it was being given to someone else. he already was very bitter, but this causes a lot more animosity with the government, not that a large amount of this didn’t already exist. this spurs him to move into action, and also causes steve to come out from underground work. 

EPISODE TWO:   steve is present with both sam and bucky during this episode. sam and bucky don’t have the same level of animosity, only disagreeing on some of their methods and grudges because of the events of ca:tws. they don’t hate each other, and instead more banter and won’t admit they like each other. 

EPISODE THREE:   there was no way that steve could go to the prison with sam and bucky, as it would be way too noticeable. so, sam and bucky go to the prison to talk to z/emo together, and then once he’s been broken out, there’s no chance to get steve back with them. (he’d be too noticeable in m/adripoor too anyways.) sam despises z/emo, especially after how he treats bucky. when meeting up with s/haron, sam has tried to get a pardon for her, but seeing as nobody could get a hold of her either, the government refused, and sam was in no position to argue anything himself as he too was on a conditional pardoning. during this episode, t/orres begins to help sam and bucky behind the scenes with information regarding the f/lagsmashers, getting it to them before w/alker. sam is incredibly grateful that t/orres trusts him despite breaking z/emo out of prison. 

EPISODE FOUR:   when receiving the call from sarah about k/arli, sam immediately calls steve. steve goes to protect sarah and his nephews until the end of the j/ohn w/alker fight, when sam has retrieved the shield. 

EPISODE FIVE:   t/orres comes back with sam to louisiana with the broken wings. while t/orres fixes them, sam, bucky, and steve fix the boat. sam has his training with the shield, and starts to teach t/orres how to fly. there’s nobody else he’d want to pass the falcon mantle onto, especially as close as they are and since sam is ready to be cap. the suit was created for him by shuri at bucky’s request, and before he does anything else, he calls her to thank her. 

EPISODE SIX:   sam asked t/orres not to use the wings in the final fight, as the f/lagsmashers were incredibly dangerous and willing to kill — instead he asked him to be his eyes and ears again, and promised he’d be in the next fight flying too. steve is also present, on the ground with bucky (instead of w/alker, because there’s no way they’d willingly work with that man after his murderous rage). after sam’s speech, him and steve hug on national television, also showing steve’s choice to have made sam cap, and sam taking over the mantle. additionally, t/orres was in the crowd, and once they were off to the side, sam hugs him too. both steve and t/orres are present at the cookout party at the end as well! 

POST SERIES:   sam continues to train t/orres, and acts as cap alongside bucky and steve. he is done listening to the government’s opinions on if he should or shouldn’t be cap, and is going to be the hero the world needs moving forward.

@falquin knew this was coming !

maggie stood quietly near the back of the small gathering,  her hands folded tightly in front of her,  the faint scent of roses  &  incense mixing with the cool,  damp air.  the funeral service had been brief,  just as her brother would have wanted.  she couldn’t bring herself to look at the casket for more than a few moments. it didn’t feel real.  how could it? mason had always been the strong one,  the one who was supposed to come home.  but now he was gone,  &  there was nothing left but the memories.  

the weight of it all settled on her chest,  heavy  &  suffocating.  &  yet,  in the midst of it,  she was aware of another presence beside her,  a figure who lingered at the edge of her peripheral vision.  a man,  not much younger than her,  with dark hair  &  eyes that held an expression she couldn’t quite read.  his stance was careful,  respectful,  but there was an unmistakable air of familiarity about him.  

joaquin.  

she had heard his name a hundred times,   the stories mason had shared with her,   bits  &  pieces of their friendship.   the funny ones,   the serious ones  —  mason had always spoken of joaquin as though he were a brother,   someone she could trust.   she never imagined she’d meet him like this,   at a funeral for someone she didn’t want to believe was gone.  

the silence between them felt thick,   as if they were both waiting for the other to speak.   joaquin shifted slightly,   his gaze meeting hers for the first time,  &  in that moment,   maggie saw it — an understanding,   a silent acknowledgment that both of them had lost something.   her brother,   his friend.   it was all too raw.   she swallowed,   throat tight.  

 ❝ joaquin, ❞  she finally said,   her voice hoarse from the grief  &  the weight of the moment.   she hesitated,   unsure of how to start.    ❝ i don’t … i don’t know what to say.   i feel like i should’ve known you.   mason always talked about you,   always said how much he trusted you.   he would’ve wanted me to meet you.   he always … ❞ she trailed off,   her words faltering as the reality of it all hit her again.  

her heart clenched,    &  she quickly turned her gaze away,   unable to hold back the tear that threatened to fall.   she didn’t want to cry in front of someone she barely knew,  she didn't want to cry at all,  but joaquin was a part of mason’s life— part of the one she couldn’t fully grasp now that he was gone.  

 ❝ i don’t know if i’m ready for this,   for all of it ...  ❞ maggie admitted quietly,   her words almost lost in the breeze.   she wiped at her eyes,   not wanting to seem weak,   but the vulnerability of the moment made it impossible to hide.    ❝ but i appreciate you being here.   for him.   for me.   ❞

joaquin stood still,   a figure of quiet understanding as he watched her,   his own pain evident in the lines of his face,   but he said nothing.   maybe there were no words that could make sense of the loss,   no words that would fill the space between them. they were both bound by mason’s memory now,   in ways they couldn’t yet understand .

her  phone  vibrates  in  the  pocket  of  her  jeans  ------  there's  no  point  having  it  on  anything  else  with  how  loud  the  music  is  in  here;  it's  difficult  enough  to  carry  a  conversation  without  shouting  in  someone's  ear. a  subtle  string  of  notes  doesn't  stand  a  chance.

thinking  it's  business  related  she  leaves  it  be  until  she  can  finish  the  conversation  shouting  match  she's  currently  engaged  in  face  to  face,  only  pulling  out  her  phone  to  glance  at  the  screen  after  the  arrangement  for  a  pick  up  later  is  made.

the  sigh  isn't  audible  when  she  drags  her  thumb  along  the  lock  screen,  but  she  feels  it.    /   @falquin​.

               “I THOUGHT I said you should go to the hospital for stuff like this,” Becky grumbled. Despite her litany of complaints since Joaquin had shoed up for a second time on her doorstep, sans invitation, bleeding and smiling, she’d already settled him onto the couch and was carefully dabbing at the cut on his cheek. “This thing isn’t that deep,” she commented. “Cuts like this just like to bleed a lot. You’re not gonna need stitches. — Shame, really: I had the best sutures in my nursing school.” Becky lay down a butterfly bandage and a bit of gauze, sitting back on her heels. “That isn’t an invitation to come back for stitches,” she warned. “This is the last time. I mean it.”
