Steve's Notebook- Comic Con

Here is the first reader suggested entry into the Steve’s Notebook Mini Series! It was suggested by and dedicated to @221bawesome, who is very sweet. You should go check her blog out!!!

This was so much fun to write, and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to drop in a special cameo (or maybe two?). I really hope that you like it!!! Any feedback is, as always, very welcome. It helps me keep motivated, and figure out what I’m doing wrong, and what I’m doing right : )

If you want to see something particular in Steve’s Notebook, please send in a suggestion, and I will add it to my list (I don’t know how long it will take me to write, but I will get there)!

TIMELINE- 2013

You looked around the crowded hall, feeling kind of anxious. The excitement that was pulsing through the venue was breath-taking. Feeling so much happiness was a nice change from the usual.

You looked at Steve and smiled. You felt embarrassed, but you had both taken Tony’s advice, and you had dressed up. Steve was Luke Skywalker, and you were Princess Leah. Maybe in the future you would try something more exotic, but for now, this was good. At the very least, it allowed you to fit in.

Steve was checking over the itinerary that you had helped him put together. He was getting William Shatner’s autograph at 2pm. That was the important one you couldn’t miss. You wanted Matthew Mercer’s signature. There were panels that you were both keen on. If everything went smoothly, then this would be a fun day for you both. 

Comic-con. You had nothing quite like this back in your time. Once a year (or multiple times if people travelled), all sorts of people, interested in comic books, video games, movies, anime, and various other ‘nerd’ cultures, got together to celebrate their favourites.

How had Comic-con made its way into Steve’s Notebook? Well, you had both been told to watch Star Wars (in fact, Tony had threatened to have you removed from the Avengers if you didn’t), and found that you really enjoyed it. Clint then asked you if you were considering going. You were nervous about the idea, but Steve wanted so much to experience all the possibilities of the 21st century. You couldn’t possibly say no to him when he was so eager. And so here you were.

You wandered around the vending hall, smiling at cute merchandise, from things that you had not seen yet. You watched people who were dressed up being asked for photos. People laughed, and interacted with each other. There was so much energy. 

You focused as much as possible on blocking the energy out, when you felt a familiar one approach you.

“Wade?”

“(Y/N), I wasn’t expecting to see you here!” he pulled you into a tight, somewhat uncomfortable hug, but when you groaned, he loosened his grip.

“I wasn’t expecting to see you either, especially not dressed…”

“As myself? I know, a bit on the nose, but it’s always been a popular cosplay at these things,” he explained with a shrug. As always, you weren’t entirely sure what he was talking about, but you smiled none the less. 

“How have you been going lately?” you asked.

“Not bad. Busy trying to get the XMEN to leave me alone… nobody that’s hired me lately is willing to pay me… so, same old, same old.”

“I see. It’s a shame you aren’t being paid for your work.”

“I know! My reputation gets around as ‘insane and reckless’, and all of a sudden, I’m not good enough.”

You nodded sympathetically, and then remembered Steve.

“Oh, Wade, this is Steve, Steve, Wade.”

Steve shook Wade’s hand politely, but looked confused. You rarely met new people without him, and you hadn’t told him about your previous encounter.

“Wow! You’re Captain America! Huge fan!” Wade exclaimed. The way he spoke reminded you of a little boy meeting his hero for the first time.

“Thanks,” Steve replied with an awkward smile.

“You know, it’s funny. I just got a signature from some guy that looked just like you,” Wade pondered. “What was his name again? Chad? Charles? No… Chris. Yeah. Chris… Evans!”

“Oh really?” you asked, intrigued.

“Yeah, I’m sure plenty of you guys love him,” Wade replied, staring straight at you.

You exchanged a confused glance with Steve, but smiled politely.

“Anyway, I should go. I heard that there was a stall selling art of me, and I want to go and collect royalties!”

“Have fun Wade! Feel free to come visit us if you are ever in Washington.”

He nodded, and was on his way.

“Who was that?” Steve finally asked.

“He’s… hard to explain. He’s nice though, mostly. I don’t think many people understand him,” you smiled sadly.

The rest of the day went by in a blur. You were able to see everything you had wanted to, bought a vintage style Mickey Mouse figurine that reminded you of the times you used to watch the new (old now, you supposed) shorts at the cinema with Steve and Bucky, and even had two people ask to have photos taken with you.

Returning to your hotel, you were absolutely exhausted. The adrenaline that pumped around the convention centre, keeping you going throughout the day, had worn off, and you wanted to do nothing but sleep.

Lying in the bed next to Steve’s, you managed a final smile before drifting off. He was so happy to cross another item off of his list, and that happiness was your lullaby.

Steve's Notebook

Hey guys! I’m very excited to be announcing this mini series to you, called Steve’s Notebook. I think we all know what it will be about, but just to be sure, I will tell you.

As you know, at least for a while, Steve keeps a list of things to catch up on, from movies, to music, to books, and cultural phenomena. This series will explore that.

I think I can make it more interesting than that though. So, how about a competition of sorts, where everyone who enters wins?

So guys, I want you to send suggestions. What do you think would be on Steve’s list? What would you like to see him discover, alongside (Y/N) Barnes and their friends?

This will still be from the Reader’s perspective, as it will slot into the main (Y/N) Barnes series.

Now, if you send a suggestion (you can do so in an ask, a PM or even a submission), then I will make a note of it, and will gradually get to work on it. And, when it is ready to go, it will be dedicated to you! I would like to ask your patience though, as I do not know how long it would take me to write them, with other obligations, and the main series as well.

If I receive multiples of the same suggestion, do not despair. If it doesn’t make sense to write from that suggestion again, then I will still write it, and post it over at @youandbucky!

This could be a fun little series that we can create together, and I can’t wait to see where it goes : )
