    Summary

    Steve really just wanted to buy some goddamn groceries.

    Instead, he tries to help a kid who's managed to get lost in a Walmart parking lot and ends up being punched in the face by his irate and panicked father.

    Surprisingly, this doesn't turn out as badly as it sounds.

    Summary

    On Steve's sixteenth birthday, as was the norm, he woke up with a name on his wrist, etched beautifully into his skin. In blocky, scruffy handwriting now sat “Natasha Stark” on his left wrist.

    It was elegant handwriting, but not in a way that anyone other than Steve would share the notion.

    Now, he's out of the ice, and he lifts his wrist to his face as his vision swims for a second. Oh thank god, he thinks at the sight of the black blur that mars his wrist, and then his thought processes stutter and screech to halt because it's changed.

    The handwriting is still the blocky scruffy script that he loves, that holds comfort for him in the cross of the t and the arc of the r, but it's not Natasha. It doesn't say Natasha Stark any more.

    No, the name on his wrist is Anthony Stark.

    This time – this new time, Director Fury explains to him, this time sixty seven years in the future – this time he will find him. Whether they're ninety like he should be, or closer to his actual age, Steve won't make the same mistake twice.

     

    He doesn't tell SHIELD that the name in their file is now wrong.

    “I wanna step out with Wilson,” Bucky says, audibly traumatized. Steve blinks again, and lowers the shield.

    “Uh,” he says. “Come again?”

    Summary

    “Hey,” he tries, “hey darlin’, can you pass me the milk?”

    “Oh sure,” Sam responds after a long pause. “Here you go. Sweetie.”

    “Thanks, hon, you’re a real doll,” Bucky drawls, and pours himself another bowl of cereal, tops up his coffee, takes a mouthful of milk straight from the carton just for good measure. Sam narrows his eyes.

    “That’s disgusting,” he sighs, and Bucky makes deliberate eye contact, swallows another mouthful. Sam holds his gaze. “Cupcake, come on, I gotta drink that shit, stop putting your mouth all over it.”

    “I’ll put my mouth all over wherever I want,” Bucky tells him. “Sweetheart.”

    “Will you just,” Sam mutters, and sips his black coffee like he’s totally unruffled, and Bucky is startled to discover that he’s the one who’s blushing. Shit. Maybe this was a tactical error.
