Omfg I know I’m shouting into the void but every Fallout fan needs to read the journals of the Railroad leaders from P.A.M.’s mainframe terminal. There’s that huge theory that Deacon is the lone wanderer but he was actively, documentedly, doing stuff in the Commonwealth before, during, and after Fo3’s events jfc. I feel like I’ve uncovered sacred texts with untold secrets but they are fully available both in game and online.
The timeline does match up for Pinkerton in Rivet City to be Pinky from the Commonwealth Railroad tho which I fully believe.

What I got for the office party at the SSR (post endgame? Yeah.) In my agent Carter continuation DR
In this DR, I'm a scientist who worked with Howard during the war, helped Peggy and Jarvis clear his name, got very uh... close with a certain best friend of captain America, and now I develop tactical stuff for women, bake as a hobby, and now develop self-defense gear for women after seeing what happened to Ana and how defenseless a lot of women who don't work for the government and aren't agents or assassins are. And, yes, I came up with the LSD in the lipstick and the high heels that have blades in the heel, and I occasionally hang around with other characters.
Peggy: more covert mission lipstick (like imagine a lipstick that makes the person who forces themselves-i mean kisses you hallucinate, that would be so cool!) And captain America themed lingere (it's a gag gift and I might get punched but worth it)
Steve: anti-aging cream. A lot of people got him this. He wasn't amused.
Howard: lemonade. I...didn't know what else to get him
Ana Jarvis: Really nice fabric, a new sewing machine, and some custom patterns
Edwin Jarvis: a new tie
Daniel Sousa: running shoes. I regret nothing.
Steve (after the anti-aging cream) : A fondue kit (he was mildly amused)
Bucky: Lord of the Rings.
Dottie: Some serious therapy
Angie: Floral perfume and a bottle of schnapps.
Rose: a pie. Homemade.
The scientists: cookies. Homemade.
Jack Thompson: I laid a dildo on his grave because he was a dick
The howling commandos:
Dugan: bourbon
Pinkie: a red sock in his white laundry (his name is Pinkie Pinkerton, what do you expect?)
Junior: a plush yeti

Character Timelines: Pink
I've decided to write out timelines documenting the personal history of each character that I'm working with for Strange Fascination, since keeping all my made-up facts straight is getting to be difficult when it's just inside my head. (It's also difficult to keep anything straight when you're writing what ultimately becomes a queer romance, heyoooo)
...anyway, I'm going to start with Pink because I've fleshed out his background the most. All timelines go right up to the beginning of Strange Fascination. (This is a LONG-ASS POST if you click, just a warning.)
November 1943: Floyd Andrew Pinkerton is born in a small English village to parents Jonathan and Marion.
February 1944: Jonathan Pinkerton is killed in action during World War II.
1953: Floyd meets and befriends two of the boys who would later grow up to become members of his band, The Pink Floyd Sound. They give each other nicknames, his being "Pinky." Floyd starts experimenting with writing, though it's a half-hearted attempt because his mother and his teachers discourage him from pursuing it seriously.
1955: An impulse purchase of a 45'' record with money he saved up from allowance/chores introduces Floyd to rock and roll. At once he knows what he wants to do with the rest of his life- namely, make music and become famous. He begins writing songs in earnest.
1956: One of Floyd's friends has a brother who's moving away to university, and he's giving away a few things that he can't take with him and has no interest in anymore- one of them being an acoustic guitar. Floyd jumps on the chance to learn an instrument and takes lessons from his friend's brother over the summer, with the agreement being that if Floyd gets good enough, the brother will give him the guitar to keep. Floyd gets good enough, and starts practicing for hours every afternoon after he comes home from school, much to his mother's chagrin.
1959: Floyd and his two friends form a band for the first time, with Floyd on guitar and vocals, one friend on drums, and the other on bass. They're not called The Pink Floyd Sound- not yet. As they practice and get better and better, their gigs graduate from basements and backyards to their first "real" performance at a most prestigious venue- the county fair. They're paid mostly in free food. It's a small start, but it's something.
1961: A local talent contest is announced, and Floyd enrolls the band without checking the date. Turns out it's the night before his final O-level exam, but he couldn't care less. The band comes in first place in the competition, earning a cash prize (and Floyd passes his exam, too). With the money and their savings, the band records their first single, a very very early version of one of the first songs Floyd ever wrote, “Money.” It's a rush job that only takes several hours, without time to fix any mistakes or do any finessing where the mix is concerned, and the equipment used is pretty cheap, but the song itself shows Floyd's potential. The band spends the summer trying to pitch the single and use it to leverage more gigs, but it doesn't go much of anywhere. Eventually, autumn rolls around and the bassist and drummer head off to university. Floyd would have gone too, but he decided to defer entrance for a year to look after his mother. With the bassist and drummer being gone, the band's future is put on a brief pause. He receives letters from his friends, who are attending the same university, and resents that they're still meeting up whenever they can while he's stuck in the village where he's spent his entire life. He gets a job and as soon as he can, he starts going out to visit his friends on the weekends. With the money he’s making from his job, Floyd saves up to to pay half for an electric guitar, and his mother gives him the other half, realizing that he’s serious about his musical dreams even though she still doesn’t approve of them. Floyd feels ashamed that he had to rely on her to pay for half, and always fails to mention her involvement from that point on whenever he's explaining where he got his guitar from.
1962: Partly feeling like his dues to his mother/village have been paid, and mostly feeling like he has to get out of his hometown or he'll go insane, Floyd finally attends university come autumn. (Don't ask me what he majored in, that's one detail I still haven't worked out.) Now that he's closer to his friends, he notices that 1. they're all much better musicians than they used to be, and 2. they've got a new social circle that he's not fully a part of. One of their new friends is a very talented keyboardist. As soon as possible, Floyd gets the band back together, eventually inviting the keyboardist to join. They begin to do gigs around school, which Floyd ends up focusing on much more than his studies. They name the band The Pink Floyd Sound, after the nickname that Floyd has started regularly using ever since arriving at university.
1963-1966: Several things happen during this period of time, but I’m not sure of the specific years corresponding to each. The band starts to become well-known, playing around several towns, with a few residencies at underground clubs. Audrey Dorian frequently attends one such residency, but she and Pink aren’t introduced until later. The band gets a manager and, in 1966, records and releases their first couple of singles, “Arnold Layne” and “See Emily Play.” Gradually, Pink abandons his studies to focus on music full time. He and the drummer start sharing a flat, but Pink is rarely home, preferring to stay out late and crash at other people’s places when he can. He also visits his mother often on weekends, but tension from her disapproval of his career choice and shame from still being so closely connected to her eventually leads to him visiting her less frequently. During this period, Pink also experiments with drugs for the first time (pot and LSD), and experiences aural hallucinations for the first time. Although the LSD didn’t cause the hallucinations, he does experience them the day after he’s first dropped acid. The hallucinations stay pretty consistent from this point to the rest of his life- they're always the voices of figures from his life, usually people who he hasn't seen in a long time, either berating him or repeating a phrase that he remembers them saying over and over.
1967: The Pink Floyd Sound release their first album, appropriately also titled The Pink Floyd Sound. Pink wrote every song on it, except for “Interstellar Overdrive,” a jam song credited to the full band. The fresh, trippy sounds win the band some renown, and they embark on their first proper tour, traveling to America as well as throughout Europe.
1968: Between touring, which doesn’t leave much time for writing songs, and the frustrations of Pink’s band members, who all have been stretching their wings on the compositional front, Pink cautiously opens himself to collaboration within the band. The result is A Saucerful of Secrets, which only has 3-4/7 tracks written by Pink. (Still trying to decide if “Jugband Blues” is a song that exists in universe, since I feel like it wouldn’t speak to Pink’s mental/emotional state at this point in time.) While touring in support of A Saucerful of Secrets, Pink meets up with a fan, Audrey Dorian, who tells him that she used to see him play in clubs all the time in the early 60’s, but never had the courage to say hello. They begin seeing each other on and off. This year’s tour leaves everyone feeling burnt out, as Pink copes with his undiagnosed schizoaffective disorder by experimenting further with drugs (although he never develops an addiction. Also, don't ask me what drugs he's using by this point, that's another thing I haven't figured out), and tensions begin to blossom within the band as Pink's bandmates feel they're being unfairly slighted by the press and the public in favor of Pink. Their first show upon returning to English soil is also a disaster, as the venue is too small and fans rush the stage, to the point of the show stopping as security interferes. Sensing how sour things are getting, the band takes some time off to recuperate and figure out how they want to work together (at the urging of Pink's bandmates, as Pink would rather just ignore the problem like he ignores all his other problems).
1969: During The Pink Floyd Sound's hiatus, Pink and Audrey become serious in their relationship, and Pink moves in with her. A live album is released to tide the Pink Floyd Sound fans over while the band is still writing and resting. Pink prefers to write alone, but Audrey overhears him working on a song called “If” one day and encourages him not to scrap it, even though he doesn’t think much of it (or rather, finds it to be too vulnerable to share). A new working method comes about for The Pink Floyd Sound- each member will write songs individually for the next album, so as not to get in anyone’s way (i.e., Pink’s way).
1970: The Pink Floyd Sound releases their third studio album, Atom Heart Mother. The song that Audrey wanted Pink to save, “If,” is on it, which by this point he feels pretty proud of until he hears “Summer ‘68,” the song his keyboardist has come up with, which in his eyes puts his song to shame. But that’s okay- the first song on the album (in fact, the entire first side of the album) is the “Atom Heart Mother Suite,” and although the entire band worked on that piece, Pink had the most input into how it eventually was to sound. The band goes on tour again, and it's a smaller-scale tour compared to the previous one, which resets the band's equilibrium ever so slightly. The "Atom Heart Mother Suite" captures the attention of a record executive Cyrus Reeves, who introduces himself to Pink at a holiday party in December that The Pink Floyd Sound’s record label is hosting. Cyrus offers to sign Pink as a solo artist, praising his genius, but Pink is reluctant to take that step, remembering how being singled out nearly tore his band apart, and not being confident enough in his own abilities as a musician.
1971: Sometime early in the year, maybe in March, Pink’s mother dies of illness. (Don't ask me what illness it is, I haven't figured that out yet.) The band has just gotten together to start their next round of writing and recording, but the news devastates Pink, so he cancels the sessions. For most of Pink's adult life, he's seen his mother as a paranoid attention seeker, so he never took her too seriously whenever she called him up talking about her various ailments. Now he's consumed with regret over not having visited her frequently enough when she was ill. Pink takes Audrey back to his hometown to attend the funeral, and feels embarrassed to have her see this part of his life that he hasn't shared much with her. They only stay at the funeral for as long as it's required- Pink can't wait to get out of there. Cyrus sends flowers, and Pink is surprised that he did so. Meanwhile, Pink's bandmates try to provide condolences, but they're simultaneously feeling pressured because they have a commitment to their record label and they have to keep writing/recording the album in order to make their autumn release deadline. The album ends up being mainly composed (instrumentally) by Pink's bandmates, while Pink's main task is solely to provide lyrics. (Exceptions are the songs "San Tropez," which Pink wrote some time before beginning work on the album and only put on the album because they needed an extra song, and "Echoes," which he worked on collaboratively with his bandmates.) The band continues to play shows throughout the summer, but Pink's heart isn't in it, and he numbs himself further with drugs. His hallucinations worsen, as he starts hearing his mother's voice in his head. He also distances himself from Audrey, which scares her. Desperate to shake Pink out of his depression and to give him something to look forward to, Audrey suggests they get married, which is something that Pink's mother had wanted. Pink initially didn't want to get married for that very reason, but now, desiring to atone for what he sees as abandoning his mother and also relying on Audrey to provide him with strength, he agrees and they get engaged. The band's album, Meddle, is released in the autumn, and shortly thereafter, Cyrus once again approaches Pink with his offer. This time, instead of turning it down, Pink says he'll think about it, and he'll have an answer for Cyrus by the end of the band's next tour. He and Audrey get married in December.
1972: The Pink Floyd Sound tour again in support of Meddle, and it's miserable. Pink is unhappy from the get-go due to feeling frustrated with his bandmates, and his bandmates in turn are frustrated with him. He also misses Audrey and is worried about their future together, as when the tour ends, they'll need to start seriously planning what their married life is going to look like. By the end of the tour, Pink contacts Cyrus and tells him that he'd like to take his offer. He tells the band right after the last show of the tour, which results in a drunken fistfight in an alley between himself and his bassist, who resents Pink for making that decision without consulting the band, thus leaving them in the lurch. After all the songs he's written, all his drive to get the band to commit to their career, and even giving the band his name, how could he leave them like this? Pink, however, doesn't care. He signs with Pasture Records, and spends the rest of the year navigating new contracts and new personnel, while also slaving away at the songs for what's to become his first solo album. Cyrus Reeves becomes Pink's new manager. (Yes, he was an A&R man and now he's a manager. I don't know how that works. I haven't figured it out yet.)
1973: Pink's first solo album, The Dark Side of the Moon, is released, and it's worth all the headache and heartache he went through trying to make it. Maybe it's because he's been out of the public eye for a year, or maybe it's because it's just THAT good, but critics and fans alike eat this album up. Pink manages to write about several personal topics on this album- "Us and Them" is inspired by his father's death in the war, while "The Great Gig in the Sky," while never directly stated by Pink, is widely assumed to have been written/recorded in honor of his mother. The album also features one of Pink's oldest songs, "Money," which becomes a smash hit. Doors begin to open up to Pink that were closed to him before. He begins to ride a wave of success, where things are handed to him, and believe it or not, he enjoys it. At least at first. Naturally, a tour follows, which has its ups and downs. Pink's not a fan of the bigger venues he's playing, but the rock star life has its perks- mostly drugs and rock and roll for Pink, but he does cautiously explore sex, partly because it's being offered to him and partly because in his experience with Audrey, he's always been convinced that something is missing. This can't be what everyone else gets so worked up over, can it? Ultimately, Pink doesn't experiment too much on this front, as he knows he should be loyal to Audrey, but the drugs are great and the music is being lavished with praise and life is going well, or at least well enough. It does cause some frustration when the journalists and promoters with whom Pink must frequently chat don't seem to grasp the intensity of the album's themes, though.
1974: Early on in this year, Pink receives an award for The Dark Side of the Moon (don't ask me what it is, I haven't figured it out yet- although I do think it's probably not a Grammy). At the awards, he ends up bumping into his old bassist, who he expects to be sneering and condescending, but his bassist is coldly cordial. At the end of their brief conversation, though, Pink's bassist reminds him that he wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for the rest of the band. That comment, coupled with how unmoved his bassist appears to be by Pink's success, rattles Pink to the core. Within a few weeks, he's begun to write his next solo album. During the writing process, Pink ends up ignoring a lot of his outside responsibilities unless they pertain to him, i.e. an interview he has to give, leaving Audrey stranded among items to buy, rooms to clean, and bills to pay. Pink, in turn, doesn't understand why Audrey can't wholeheartedly support him like she always has in the past. They begin to argue more frequently than they used to, or at least they argue more directly instead of Pink clamming up and refusing to talk about the issue, and Audrey deciding it's best to ignore what's troubling her and fix it herself. These arguments distress Pink, and he uses drugs and television to cope with his overwhelming feelings.
1975: Now that Pink's second album has been written, he goes into the studio to record it. Welcome to the Machine is a reflection on Pink's life in the music business, save one song, "Goodbye Blue Sky," inspired by his father. When it's released, critics hoot and holler over it just like they did with Dark Side of the Moon. It's only Pink's second solo album, and he's already biting the hand that feeds him! Grab the popcorn, everyone! The tour that accompanies Welcome to the Machine is less pleasant for Pink than his previous one, partly due to having parted on bad terms with Audrey before leaving for the tour, and also due to his discomfort in the ever-increasing concert venues. To deal with his negative feelings over the course of the tour, he turns to his old standbys- drugs and television- and begins to pursue sex in earnest (at least, to the degree that when it's offered to him, he won't turn it down), though he still feels somewhat uncomfortable in such situations. Still, it helps distract him from the grueling tour and from his mental problems, so he continues to partake.
1976: It's now become customary for Pink to block off a significant amount of time solely for writing before beginning work on his next album, and ever since he's started making bank as a solo artist, his label has gladly indulged him. For several months, Pink works on the concept for his next record, and spends an even longer amount of time recording it. During this time, his home life gets even rockier as his constant schmoozing and attention from the press often makes him unavailable to Audrey- not helped by his emotional unavailability, as even when he's in the house, it's almost like he might as well not be there to begin with. Longing for both an emotional and physical connection with her husband, Audrey begins to despair at Pink's customary gestures (wife's upset? Get her flowers. That's all you need to do!), which leads to Pink feeling that the effort is wasted and no longer doing even the bare minimum, which drives a wedge between himself and Audrey even more.
1977: Animals is released early in the year, to prepare for Pink's world tour that will accompany the album's release. Most of the songs on the album are a concept based on Pink's observations of society, but the tracks that bookend the album were written for Audrey. Audrey isn't sure if they're just a gesture like the flowers were, or if this means that Pink is still in love with her (or rather, how she perceives Pink as being), but this is enough to convince her to stay in the relationship a bit longer. For the rest of the year, Pink is on tour, and this one is miserable again. He's reached the top, but as the saying goes, it's lonely up there- not that his fans seem to mind, because more and more are latching themselves onto his work every day, and growing more and more rabid with each release. It gets to the point where Pink can't go outside on his own anymore, so he spends most of the tour sitting around in hotel rooms, where- you guessed it- he watches TV, takes drugs, and invites women to his bed. When he's onstage, the cavernous venues he's playing and the audience's lack of respect alienate him further from the experience. By the time the tour ends, all Pink wants to do is rest, and yet he has to attend to everything that Audrey's been trying to keep up with while he's been away, plus attend to what she wants from him, plus attend to his label's demands... It is Toom Uch. For a while, Pink gets the crazy idea to turn his back on the entire business, but this is exactly what he's wanted since he was a kid, so why isn't he happy?
1978: ...honestly, this one is kind of a blank year in my head- I think I should have started SF: ALS at the beginning of 1979 instead of 1980, but it's too late to change that now. Anyway, I imagine Pink does SOMETHING this year before he begins to work on his next album, because his next album is kind of hastily slapped together. Feeling lots of pressure to top himself, Pink spends most of the year writing different songs, flailing around looking for a style that speaks to him, before throwing away all his attempts. He also begins to seriously worry about the voices in his head and his bouts of paranoia, which he's previously tried his best to shut out. He tries to quit drugs, thinking they're to blame, but can't ever successfully do so. He worries that he's going mad and maybe he's lost his talent. He tries to connect with Audrey, to make things how they used to be, but he's too afraid of reaching out and being vulnerable around her after he's spent so long pushing her away. Finally, later in the year (I want to say in the autumn), he begins to sketch out some new material, which doesn't take very long for him to record at all.
March 1979: Rock 'n' Roll Refugee, which takes a swerve into arena rock music bordering on the generic, is released. At first Pink thought he was making an ironic album, parodying the type of shit that his freshly-minted fanboys would eat up, but by the end of the album's making, even he wasn't sure if it was meant to be ironic anymore. Rock 'n' Roll Refugee is nowhere near as popular as Pink's last three albums, but the lead single "Young Lust" earns it enough attention to justify going on another big tour.
June-July 1979: Pink tours Europe. Just like last time, he's not pleased with the tour, but this time he feels resigned and trapped in quiet desperation, rather than feeling outright irritable and unhappy. He still indulges in drugs, sex, and television, but even those coping mechanisms have become habitual.
October-November 1979: After a break, Pink tours America in the fall. This time, he doesn't even think about Audrey before leaving. However, as the tour wears on, Pink begins to miss Audrey- or at least, he begins to miss having someone beside him in bed, someone who can support him at his lowest. He knows what the reality is- that he and Audrey have been drifting apart for some time now, and she wouldn't just wholeheartedly accept him if he ever managed to get over his fear of opening up to him- but he clings to this fantasy. Often he calls her when he's feeling down, but due to time zones (perhaps a deliberate self-sabotage on Pink's part), Audrey never picks up the phone. The more Pink isolates himself, the worse his hallucinations get. They start to become visual as well as aural, although at first they're only brief flashes. Ironically, even as Pink hates the experience of touring more and more, wishing that he could just walk away from it all and start over again, his fans still go nuts over his performances, to the point where shortly before Pink's first show in LA, the fans cause a stampede as they try to get into the show, trampling several people. Pink is scheduled to perform in LA the next day as well, and during the day, he tries to call Audrey again, only for a man to pick up on the other end of the line. This sends Pink's paranoia into overdrive, and he believes that Audrey is cheating on him. In his depressing and desperation to stop thinking about it, he invites a groupie back to his room, only to discover once he gets there that his heart is most definitely not in it, and all he can manage to do is sit there and watch TV. The woman he's pushed aside still wants to engage him, but Pink is consumed with thoughts of what he sees as Audrey's betrayal and ends up breaking down, running the woman off and destroying his hotel room. As he slips into psychosis, Pink decides that this is the final straw and from now on, he's not going to let anyone hurt him again, because he's not going to let anyone come near him again, ever. He ends up shaving all of his hair off in what he sees to be a means of turning people away from him (if he looks like this, maybe those around him will feel disgusted or think he's crazy and they won't come near him), and also hallucinates and reflects on the past that created him. Eventually a maid finds him unconscious, and she tells the hotel manager, who comes in with Cyrus (yes, Cyrus is Pink's tour manager too, don't ask me how- I haven't figured it out yet) to take stock of the situation. A doctor is called, and Cyrus persuades the doctor to give Pink a shot to wake him up in time for the show. The shot, however, only worsens Pink's psychosis, and while he does make it to the venue, he believes that he's in charge of a fascist rally, thanks to his last thoughts being of World War II and also seeing the fans' worship of him as that of political zealots, the same sort of people who put Hitler in power. Instead of performing, Pink launches into a bigoted tirade against his fans, some of whom are disgusted, and some of whom continue to cheer. Then, caught in the grip of his psychosis, Pink imagines the end result of this type of violence he's trying to incite, and he's so horrified that he leaves the stage and seeks refuge in a restroom. The show is cancelled, and Pink is promptly hospitalized, then sent back to England, where he's hospitalized again.
December-January 1980: Pink spends these months admitted to a mental ward. He's plied with drugs that keep him compliant and on an even keel (don't ask me what they are, I haven't figured that out yet), learns several grounding techniques in therapy (though he doesn't use much of them), and writes in his journal until he realizes that the doctors are keeping track of what he writes. He receives no visitors until towards the end of January, when Cyrus arrives at the hospital bearing some news. Unfortunately, as badly as Pink wants to leave the music industry behind, there's no way out of his contract. He HAS to record one last album before Pasture Records will let him go. And with that, Strange Fascination: A Love Story begins.

@timeguardians also liked an AU where Steve was in Agent Carter
Since returning to the past Steve had only trusted a few people with the truth. Peggy and Howard knew of course, and of course the Howling Commandos he had spent the last six months running around rural Europe with.
He hadn't been able to get any letters out to Peggy in the last several months. It was too dangerous, but he missed her like crazy.
They had set up camp over the Russian boarder, and Dugan had taken Sam Sawyer, Junior Juniper, and Pinky Pinkerton out on patrol hours ago.
Steve had stayed behind at camp, but now the trucks the team had taken with them on patrol were pulling in.
Getting up from the fire, Steve went to greet his men, Dugan was grinning like an idiot when he got out of the lead truck. Which instantly made Steve suspicious, something was up.
And then out of the back of the truck came the last person he expected to see.
There was Peggy, dressed in tactical gear, surrounded by gob smacked agents of the SSR, who could not believe they were seeing Captain America in the flesh.
Steve only had eyes for Peggy though, so, as soon as they could Steve pulled Peggy into the empty command tent.
As soon as the flap to the tent closed, Steve pulled Peggy close and kissed her.
"As happy as I am to see you, Sweetheart, what are you doing here?"

Together Forever Chap. 14
Y/n couldn't fight the uneasiness she felt when she saw her twin hurriedly try and pack his suitcase with clothes. She felt sick to her stomach as he happily explained how he had got a chance to finally join the Army.
His eyes lit up as he talked about how at first he thought he was going to get in trouble when the doctor who was going to do his exam walked out and told him to wait there. Steve said another man walked into his room, Dr. Abraham Erskine, who had looked at his file and had seen how many times he had tried to apply and had asked him if he wanted to go kill some Nazi's.
Tumblr media
Steve of course had been nervous thinking that he was going to get in trouble for lying on all of those applications. He had asked Dr. Erskine if this was a test and when he said yes Steve said he was honest, that no he didn't want to kill anyone he didn't like bullies. Her twin's smile grew when he said that Dr. Erskine had said "There are already so many big men fighting in the war, maybe now what we need is the little guy". For once Steve felt like he would be able to contribute, that he no longer would have to watch the other men go fight in the war.
"I can offer you a chance" The doctor had told Steve as he walked out of the exam room and over to Steve's letter or recommendation. Y/n couldn't help but roll her eyes playfully when he said he had immediately said yes, that he would do whatever. He handed her the folder that held his acceptance paper with a starting date of two weeks away.
That night Y/n laid awake in the bed that her and Bucky shared most nights, his pillow still had his scent on it that brought little comfort to her. She thought of him overseas fighting a war that he didn't want to join and she could feel her stomach turn, bile rising in her throat as she ran to the bathroom before emptying her stomach contents.
Beads of sweat rolled down her face as she tried to steady her breathing and calm her racing heart, thoughts of Bucky not returning pushing their way to the front of her mind. Y/n bit harshly on the inside of her cheek to stifle the sob threatening to escape. Y/n closed her eyes and focused on the sound of the clock ticking to help calm her before she was able to stand on shaky legs and return to bed. As she clung to Bucky's pillow she dreamed of being in his arms again, helping her to find a somewhat peaceful sleep.
Bucky
When Bucky arrived at camp he was quickly introduced to a group of men that would be under his command. He first met Timothy Dugan or Dum Dum is what he heard one of the other soldiers call him, he had a wide smile on his face as he greeted Bucky and what looked and smelled like a bottle of alcohol in his other hand. He met Jim Morita next who reminded him of Steve in a way, he was scrawnier than the other soldiers and was shy as he introduced himself to Bucky and shook his hand. Jim had a bit of an accent he noticed as he told him he was Japanese-American with a blush on his cheeks.
James Falsworth was next and took Bucky by surprise when he stated he was the explosion expert and pulled out a few sticks of dynamite out of his pockets and made a loud boom noise, chuckling to himself when Bucky jumped. Gabe Jones walked up next with his hand outstretched and a friendly smile on his face as he introduced himself. Jacques Dernier was a little hard to understand with a heavy French accent as he spoke.
Sam Sawyer or Happy he heard someone call him also had a friendly smile on his face as some of the others before him had. Junior Juniper and Pinky Pinkerton were the last two to introduce themselves and Bucky could tell that they were older than the rest of the group and could tell that the pair had already been in war by the hardened look along their faces and the haunted look deep in the depths of their eyes.
Bucky held tight to the necklace Y/n had given him all those years ago to help ground him, he could only hope that when he returned from war that he did not have the same look upon his face as the two men standing before him. Now that they were all introduced and officially part of a team, it was expected that they do everything together to be better acquainted with each other. Bucky was the best sniper any of the commanding officers had ever seen before, the knowledge of that helped to gain the respect of his men that he would be leading into war.
At night Bucky laid on his back against the cot in his tent, there was a hole in the seam overtop his head that allowed for him to look at the stars. He hoped that Y/n was staring at the night sky too, that even though she wasn't there with him that they could still be looking at the same night sky, could both see the twinkle of the stars as they shined down on two lovers miles apart.

I come back to fandom after a tiny 10 day break to tell you that my mother insisted we get three 7 week old kittens, and that I’ve named them Louis, Luke, and Pinky (Pinkerton)(wanted to name her Laurel, but felt that was too much) but apparently my kitten news is being overshadowed by news of the holivia stunt finally ending?! Wtf!? Why do I always come back to chaos!? This month has really been a big week for us huh? Lol

Febuwhump Day 26
@febuwhump
"HELP THEM"
“We have to help them!” Omega urged, tugging at Hunter’s arm.
“They’re Pinkerton detectives,” Hunter said. “They’ll arrest us the first chance they get.”
“But they’re going to die!” 
“Better them than us!”
“Don’t say that! We help people, don’t we? No matter who they are.”
Hunter groaned, knowing that the kid was right, as much as it pained him to admit it this time.
“Fine, but you stay here, and that is not up for debate!”
Before she could utter a word of complaint, Hunter turned his horse back towards where the two Pinkies were cornered by a barrage of gunfire, Crosshair and Echo following close behind.
“Fan out,” Hunter ordered, and the other two split off from him. Hunter continued to charge straight for the two doomed men.
He pulled up his horse behind a barn just short of where they were pinned down. Peering around the corner, he sent a few shots into the mob that was slowly making its way towards them.
One of the men turned in surprise, raising his own gun at Hunter, who quickly ducked back behind the barn.
“Do you want help or not?” he called over the sound of continued gunfire. “Because I’d be more than happy to leave if you want me to.” There was a brief pause.
“Much obliged!” came the response, and Hunter peeked around to see that the brown-haired man had turned his gun back the other way. The other man had never let his attention waver from the crowd.
Hunter sent off a few more shots, then looked around.
There was a ladder leading to the hayloft of this barn, so he quickly climbed that and went inside, where he found a small flock of panicking chickens huddled in a corner. He smiled. Perfect.
---
Crosshair set himself up in a large oak tree in full view of the mob while he himself was obscured from their view by the leaves that shimmered in the wind. He noticed a few people break off from the group, intent on circling around to catch the Pinkies from behind. Crosshair picked them off with ease.
--
The problem with mob mentality, Echo thought, was that it made people single-minded and unobservant. Which was why he was able to ease the two carts they’d come in behind the farm house, one in front of the other, without any one of them noticing. He waited there, keeping the horses still until the right moment came. He didn’t have to wait long.
A flock of screaming chickens erupted from the open barn door, heading straight for the mob, stopping their firing and making them all duck for fear of getting their eyes scratched out by the chickens’ claws.
Echo urged the horses forward then, the animals and carts creating a barrier the mob would have difficulty crossing, what with Crosshair covering their escape from the tree, Hunter from the barn, and the two Pinkertons from the stacks of straw they’d hidden behind. 
Echo drew his own gun then and set to firing at the men that were now boxed in with nowhere to go. Between the five of them, they made quick work of the remaining mob. Once the last of them had fallen and silence rang loud, they stepped out from their hiding places and converged in the middle.
“Thank you for your assistance,” the tall Pinkerton with black hair said in an accented voice. “Those were most…unorthodox methods.”
“They work pretty well for us,” Hunter said, gun still in hand, though not pointed at the two law enforcers. His gaze, however, was aimed unwaveringly at them.
“Indeed. And will your friend in the tree be joining us?”
Echo was impressed he’d been able to locate the sniper, but his brows furrowed as he realized that Crosshair hadn’t yet come down from his perch. 
“Come on down, Cross!” Hunter called, eyes still not leaving the men they’d just saved.
There was no response. Echo started to walk towards the tree and Hunter finally pulled his gaze away to look back at where his cousin was.
“Cross?”
There was a ruffle of branches as first a rifle fell to the ground, and then a body, landing with a solid thump and a plume of dust.
“Cross!”
Pinkertons forgotten, Hunter and Echo ran to the fallen man.
Crosshair was lying on his back, eyes wide, mouth gaping open as he tried to breathe, but his lungs wouldn’t accept the air. Hunter pressed gently on his abdomen until a loud gasp filled the tense silence. The gasping turned to coughing and then a groan as Crosshair reached a hand to grab his leg, blood spilling between his fingers from a gunshot wound on his thigh. It looked like one of the mob had found him after all.
“There is a doctor in town,” the dark-haired Pinkerton said and Echo whirled, not having realized that the two men had come up behind him. He guessed it wasn’t only mob-mentality that made people single-minded and unobservant. “Take one of the carts to transport your friend there. We will use the other to take care of the dead.”
“You’re not going to arrest us?” Hunter asked, eyeing the two of them guardedly. 
The other man raised an eyebrow. “I see no reason to imprison those who are willing to save the lives of others at their own detriment, especially when those ‘others’ are to be considered their enemy. Now go, quickly, or your friend will bleed out before you reach town.”
And with that, he and the other Pinkerton turned to take care of the bodies littering the ground.
They didn’t have to think twice. Echo ran ahead to grab one of the carts while Hunter took off his bandana and wrapped it around Crosshair’s leg. The skinny man let out a cry of pain. Soon, they had him loaded up in the bed of the cart, Echo at the reins.
“You go ahead,” Hunter told him. “I’ll take our horses and grab Omega. We’ll meet you in town.”
With a nod, Echo urged the horse forward as fast as it would go. He knew the bumpy ride wouldn’t be doing Crosshair any favors, but in this case, speed was the most important factor.
He just hoped they’d be fast enough.

Lol OK my Friend and I are On About This
I did a Phasmo Chapter of Naoto and Kanji playing Red Dead Online and Yu trolling them and stealing their moonshine (in context they are doing the moonshine quests to get the Norfolk Roadster horses because Naoto HAS to have the best stat horses and Kanji like perty horses).
So I wanted to do a breakdown of if they played RDO...
Naoto would exploit the Collector role right when it comes out because it obviously made the most money and the Github map for the coins and heirlooms was useful when they were stationary.
Naoto would take pride in the Bounty Hunter role, Kanji would take on the Naturalist Role but help out on the Bounty Hunter Role. They would buy all the roles but Kanji REFUSES to partake in the trader role because he hates killing animals. Naoto takes over for that to upgrade their camp and for supplies.
Kanji would PET. EVERY. DOG.
AND HE WOULD NOT STOP. HE WOULD DO IT FOREVER. HE WOULD BUTTON MASH WHOSEAGOODBOI
If a player kills either one, it's an eye for an eye. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Kanji likes to get drunk and yell "LENNAYYYY" and get other players to join in.
Naoto focuses on the granular quests.
How dare they do anything that affects their honor.
Kanji cries if his honor is affected.
DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT SEAN HE WAS THE DANG BEST-
Naoto picks anything with the best stats. Kanji likes what looks cool.
Especially the horses.
And saddles.
Kanji would spend money on R$ and it would piss Naoto off. Imagine opening their bank account and seeing transactions to Rockstar.
BONUS: When they argue Kanji will call Naoto a "Pinky" and they HATE IT... get it? Pinkertons?

Steve is so close to his happily ever after he can taste it. There’s almost nothing standing between him and the beautiful future with the loves of his life. A life more perfect than he could ever have imagined. All he has to do is return the Infinity Stones, repair the damage caused by undoing the Snap, and find a way to protect their now vulnerable timeline.
So close and yet so far.
At least he has both his people with him this time. Sweet Ayame, who tried to warn him. Beloved Bucky, beside him no matter what. He’s sure the three of them can shake the universe, but he’d rather spend the time sketching them while they played with their baby.
Just a little longer and they can have that.
Assuming they don’t mess this up.
