Summary
“You’re not a very scary monster, are you?” Steve asks that night. He dangles over the edge of his bed again.
The monster under his bed stares at him, his golden eyes luminous.
Then, slowly, he bares his teeth again. They aren’t sharp at all.
“I am Bucky,” he says, trying to snarl.
It’s like another four year old snarling. Steve smiles.
“I’m Steve,” Steve says.
*
This is a fairytale. Not the kind you’re used to, with enchanted lights and magical wishes, but the kind that is darker, the grim tale that goes bump in the night.
This is the story of the monster under your bed, and what happens when you fall in love with it.

Summary
The moon asked the sun, “What do you know of love?”
“It burns,” said the sun. “It brightens. It is something you make and then give away.”
“Don’t listen to him,” said the clouds. “This big ball of gas doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
“Yes, I do,” said the sun. “Who but me makes the roses grow?”
“We do,” said the clouds. “Love nourishes, like the rain. We turn the hills green and fill the creeks so they will sing in their creekbeds.”
“Why do you ask?” said the sun.
“I think I might be in love,” said the moon. “I am trying to understand.”

the inaccuracy of historical wartime dramas by Mici (noharlembeat)

Summary
There was nothing wrong with Howling Commandos, not really. It was new and shiny, made only six months before Steve woke up and on the brink of cancellation until it was announced that Captain America was found, at which point ratings skyrocketed. Steve would have heard of the series, except that he was too busy figuring out his phone, handling alien invasions, and battling crippling depression (that he would not admit to anyone, even himself). The result was that 25 episodes later, Howling Commandos was the most popular television shows about the war on the planet, with a loyal following, and Steve was almost totally oblivious.
(or: Steve has feelings, and shouldn't ever watch television)
