Provisions - Chapter 4, Finding Jade

Summary: The team goes to Albuquerque for supplies, requiring as much planning as a mission. They bring items to barter in exchange for food, electronics, and any raw materials they can use to create trade goods. While there Bucky takes Jade to the doctor to get a birth control implant. A human trafficker’s offer of gold for Jade alerts the couple to a potential problem.

Length: 5K

Characters: Bucky, Jade, Ben, Steve, Peter, Scott, medical personnel, traffickers.

Warnings: 18+ only, sexual content (hand job, fingering), talk of sex, violence ending in bodily injury.

Author’s notes: The Others, being attracted to water, took control of most towns and cities, but in areas with limited water there was more success keeping them out of water infrastructure. They are still dangerous which is why Albuquerque (a bitch to spell but a cool name) still takes precautions. Being a gathering place it attracts all kinds, including legitimate entrepreneurs and less savoury characters.

<<Chapter 3

🗡️

The following morning Bucky and Jade walked into the common room hand in hand while everyone was there. They seemed an odd couple, the tall, broad shouldered, dark haired Bucky and the shorter, slender, blonde, fair skinned Jade.

"Does anyone have any condoms?" asked Bucky, outright.

Everyone looked at Sam and Maria, being the only couple there. Sam shook his head no.

"I have an implant," said Maria. "We can put one on the provisions list."

"When's the next run?" asked Bucky.

"Two weeks," said Clint, smiling, "I could always go sooner in the quinjet."

"No," said Steve. "Quinjet is for missions only. No personal use."

"A provision run is organized just like a mission," said Peter, "just saying."

Steve glared at him. He was sympathetic but operating the quinjet was risky. They had already lost one quinjet and it's passengers, Fury and Rhodey, when the Others tracked them and blasted them out of the sky with a laser guided projectile. Bucky just looked at him when he vetoed using the quinjet then walked over to the list and added condoms and an implant to it.

"As you can see we're now a couple," he said. "If you have any comments say them now."

"Congratulations?" said Peter.

Bucky laughed and put his hand on Peter's shoulder. "Thanks, kid," he said.

"Does this mean you're going to be less grumpy than before?" asked Sam.

"Doubtful," answered Bucky.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

The addition of Jade, Ma, and Ben to the group at the Bunker seemed to lift the spirits of everyone there. Peter, who had silently suffered wondering if his Aunt May was alive or dead, connected with 10 year old Ben like a big brother, introducing him to the huge Lego stash. Recognizing Ben's thirst for knowledge Peter tutored him in math and science, finding a useful outlet for his own excess energy that kept him from brooding on the state of the world. Ma, who told Bruce she had been a nurse prior to a brain aneurysm that caused her psychic powers, proved to be a big help to him in the medical room and in his lab. Even though she looked about ten years older than him due to her white hair they found she was actually two years younger. They shared an appreciation for similar literature and music. As she helped him in setting up experiments they had all sorts of animated conversations about a raft of different subjects. Jade had honoured Peggy's wish and sought out Steve in private, offering him access to the memory of the encounter with his wife. His eyes had teared up but when he released Jade's hand he had looked thoughtfully at her and thanked her for sharing it with him. Then he went to his room and didn't come out for hours. After that it was never spoken of again.

The biggest change, even though he told Sam it was doubtful, was in Bucky now that he and Jade were a couple. They were together most of the time, hand in hand. He was much less surly and more polite. Ma, at her insistence, moved out of the two bedroom suite so Bucky could move in. When he asked Jade if Ben would have a problem with him being there she said no. Calling her son in she told Ben that Bucky wanted to talk to him and then she left before Bucky could protest, leaving the two alone. It had thrown Bucky for a loop as the boy sat across from him expectantly.

"Is this like the sex talk?" Ben asked. "I already know where babies come from."

"No," stammered Bucky. "How do you feel about me living here with your mom?"

"You make her happy," the boy replied. "She loves you and I think you love her. The way you look at her looks like love to me."

"I'm not trying to replace your dad," said Bucky. "You don't have to call me Dad.”

Ben smiled. "I didn't know my dad," he replied, "I was little when he was gone. I'll call you Bucky if that makes you feel better. Do you plan to have a baby with Mom?"

"No," replied Bucky. "Not for awhile anyways. Sorry, this feels awkward to me."

Ben nodded. "I have that effect on people although most everyone here has been good," he said. "She's a good mom and I'm sure she'll be a good wife, Bucky. I'll try to be a good son."

"Ben, how old are you?" asked Bucky.

"Ten, I'll be eleven in a month," he said. "How old are you?"

"Officially, 109 years old," said Bucky. "I look much younger."

Ben nodded. "That's because of the Winter Soldier, isn't it?" He looked at Bucky, quizzically. "Did you have a wife during the war?"

"No, no wife," said Bucky. "Just my parents, a sister, and Steve. Steve is 108 years old."

"Really?" said Ben. "Wow, you guys have lived long. Do you feel old?"

"Some days," said Bucky, pointing to his head, "especially in here."

Ben stood up and walked closer to Bucky standing in front of him. "Can I look at your arm?"

Bucky pulled his shirt off and showed it to him. Ben touched it with no fear or hesitation, running his fingers down the articulations, tracing the design.

"Does it hurt?" he asked. "Did it hurt when you lost it?"

"It hurt a lot when I lost the original arm," he said. "Some bad people gave me another arm that was very painful to use. Then when Steve rescued me some good people made this arm for me. It doesn't hurt and it's much lighter than the other one. It looks better, too, more like a real arm. The other one was more dangerous as it was made just for killing."

"Peter showed me some video of when you had the other arm," said Ben, looking Bucky directly in the eyes. "You didn't look happy, not like you look now. I like you better this way."

Bucky almost wanted to cry at the simple directness this boy had. "I like me better this way, too," he said. "Thank you, Ben. I like you a lot. I'll leave it up to you if you want to call me Dad. But if you do, you'll make me very happy."

Ben smiled and leaned into Bucky giving him a hug, which Bucky returned with emotion. Ben went to the suite door and said he was going to the Library. Bucky smiled at him.

"See you later, Ben," he said, then wept when the door completely closed.

He felt Jade's presence in his mind, asking permission to enter which he gave.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, your son surprised me," he replied in his thoughts. "He's a good kid."

"I think so," she said. "Do you want me to come back to the room?"

"No," he smiled. "I'll be out shortly. I love you, Jade."

He felt a warmth envelope him like a warm blanket had been put on his shoulders. "I love you, Bucky. I'll be here in the common room. Ma, Wanda, and I are going to try to find a nest and see if we can lure one of the Others away from it."

He acknowledged her and sat back in the arm chair, letting the warmth of her love fill him. He had felt love before, with Lily but this mental manifestation of Jade's love was something else. It made him feel ... safe. He began to wonder what sex with her would feel like and wondered how hard it would be to wait until the provision run for it to happen.

After the coven tried to lure one of the Others out of its nest Steve called a meeting to plan how they would capture the creature when they tried for real. Bucky walked in, sitting near the front, beside Jade. She took his hand and he immediately felt her presence in his mind.

"Jade, tell us how the practice round went," said Steve.

"We made contact and were able to single out an individual," said Jade. "Wanda thought we should implant the notion that one of their own needed help doing something. They took the bait and came out. It was in an exo-suit so we brought it out quite a way before we released it. It seemed confused at first then it answered the hive call and went back to the nest."

"Do you think you can jam it's connection long enough for us to bring one here and study it?" he asked.

Jade, Wanda, and Ma looked at each other. "About that," she said. "When we brought it out there were sentry Others that noticed it leaving. They kept calling it to return but they didn't follow it. We think they kept track of it visually. If that's the case we wouldn't be able to take it without them seeing."

Steve made a face at this bit of news but it was why they did a practice run. "Suggestions?" he put it out to everyone else.

"We can create a false view of the one we take and examine it on the spot," said Ma, "similar to how I kept the Sanctuary hidden. They would see it, but we would be invisible to them as we examined the suit and the creature."

"Who would go out there to do the examination?" asked Bucky.

"Bruce and myself," said Ma. "Perhaps Peter for added security. This is a scientific study and we can follow a procedure which we still have to establish to get the most information in the shortest period of time. Wanda and Jade can boost my ability to keep the veil over the site. I can multitask and still help in the examination."

"Okay, let's hear the pros and cons," said Steve.

"They're out in the open with no cover, other than the veil, and no one close enough to back them up quickly," said Bucky. "If the sentries see it happen again it may make them curious enough to come out and investigate."

"We can do a diversion," said Maria. "We can drop some explosives at the other end of the wash to draw them away from the veil. Sam, you could carry some IEDs with you, couldn't you?"

"Yeah, but they would have to be small enough that they don't weigh me down and easy enough to drop," he replied. "I'd want time to make them and try them out first."

"What's the insertion and extraction plan?" asked Clint. "Quinjet, car?"

"Good question," said Steve. "Both are going to attract attention."

"What about horses?" said Clint. "They've left the local fauna alone. They see horses coming they may think it's just some wild horses that wandered into the wash. There's an outfitter on the way to Albuquerque. We could talk to him on our next run."

"Bruce, Peter, Ma? Do you know how to ride?" asked Steve.

They all looked at each other and started laughing. "So, no," said Steve. "But it is a good idea. Clint, could you teach them in two weeks if we bumped up the provisions run to next week? We could trailer the horses back and they could learn in the two weeks before we execute the mission."

Clint nodded his head but grimaced and said it wouldn't be easy. Over the next week they planned the provision run. Jade was going on it so she could get the implant done in the clinic in town. Bucky insisted she be in his vehicle. He didn't want Jade to be out of his sight. It was a two and half hour ride at road speed but when they were on the road itself they went faster if conditions allowed it. The Others had been known to patrol for people travelling by themselves. They would send out two vehicles plus Sam would fly as eyes in the sky. There would be four people in one car, three in the other, all of them armed. One vehicle would pull a utility trailer that they would load their provisions in. The other would pull the horse trailer from the outfitters on the way back. They had already contacted the outfitter by radio, negotiated a barter price, and arranged a pick up time. If they left at 6 am their plan was to arrive back to the Bunker before sunset at 7 pm.

The night before the provision run Bucky and Jade laid in bed. She held him and stroked his long hair so softly that he felt himself being lulled into sleep.

"I did some research on the implants," she said quietly. "We'll have to use condoms for a couple of weeks until there's a high enough level of hormones in my system. I haven't been with anyone since Ben was little. You'll be gentle with me at first?"

"I'll try," he said. "It's only been a year for me but Lily and I had a very active sex life. When you had sex did you have a mind connection as well?"

"Yes," she said. "It intensifies it, at least for me but it's not good to do it too often. Seth never complained. He was normal like Ben. I would like to try without first. If that's okay."

"Why?"

"To experience you without any enhancements," she replied. "I noticed when you got out of bed that you're quite ... equipped. I want to see what you do with it. Plus it takes a lot out of me."

Bucky lifted his head up with a grin. "I knew you saw more than you let on," he said. "You just want me for my body. I'm hurt."

"You're a jerk," she smiled back. "The mind connection can be like a drug. I didn't use it all the time as it does take a toll on me. But we'll try it once tomorrow after we get back."

Bucky turned to her breasts and nuzzled them as he rubbed her pelvic area. "Now you're just teasing me," she said. "You're such a naughty boy for an old man."

"Just a preview, darling," he said, stopping and rolling over. "Get some sleep. It will be a long day tomorrow."

She spooned behind him but grabbed him and squeezed gently to repay the favour. He groaned a little but pulled her hand up to his chest and kept it there. When she woke up in the morning she had her hand down inside his boxers and he was erect. She started to pull her hand out but he interrupted.

"Don't stop now," he said. "I'm halfway there. You have very soft hands."

"Bucky," she said. "We agreed to wait until we had the condoms."

"You started it and we don't need them for this," he said over his shoulder. "Seems a shame to leave a man hanging like this."

With a sigh Jade kept stroking him. "Harder darling," he said with a slight groan. "Surely you did this for your husband once in a while."

Jade grasped him firmly and ran her hand up and down the shaft. Suddenly he pulled his T-shirt and boxers off without interrupting her rhythm. Then he threw the duvet off and switched to his back. His breathing was very ragged and he looked sideways at her deeply.

"Kiss me," he whispered then groaned. "Please."

She leaned over and as she did he put his larger right hand over her smaller one and really began stepping up the pace. His mouth was open and he ran his tongue over his teeth, begging her to put her tongue in his mouth. Firmly she pressed her mouth on his and thrust her tongue onto his. He groaned as she did so then tensed up considerably and she felt him come over himself, as he pumped it a few more times. Finally he released her hand and she flexed it, trying to get the blood flowing into it again. Pulling away from his lips she looked at him and he had a sly smile on his face.

"Thank you, darling," he said. "Could you get me some tissues to take care of this, please?"

She smiled and shook her head at the audacity of this man. Quickly he wiped himself off and dropped the tissues at the side of the bed, saying he would clean them up later. Then he kissed her deeply before turning her around and spooning behind her. He unbuttoned her pyjama top, caressing her breasts with one hand. She felt his lips on her neck, under her ear and it felt so good she leaned back into it. Then his artificial hand reached down inside her panties.

"Bucky," she said in an almost whining way. "No, we were going to wait."

"You did me, now I do you," he whispered. "Fair is fair. Think of it as me priming the pump."

"That's such a picture to feel sexy to," she said but she arched her back as he found the right spot inside.

He was whispering in her ear about how wet she was and all she needed was some stimulation. She lifted her upper leg slightly to give him more access and he whispered to go onto her back. As soon as she did he pulled her panties off, put two fingers into her and started kissing her breasts and mouthing her nipples. Her breath came in little gasps as the sensation inside her increased. She looked at him and found she couldn't see anything except those perfect white teeth behind his full lips. His right hand was under her and he pulled her closer to his lips, just gently brushing hers with his as he finger fucked her. She arched her back and moaned as he brought her closer by putting his thumb on her clitoris and circling it. Her hips were pushing into his hand and she wanted his mouth on hers. Her hand grasped his arm as she pulled herself closer to him and her eyes closed in anticipation of the rush which was almost there. Then his mouth was on her, his tongue caressing her tongue and she came with a cry that escaped from her throat. He thrust his fingers hard into her for several more moments then he pulled them out and massaged her pubic area sending little pulses through her body as he worked the remaining blood away from her core.

"You're such a bad man," she whispered. "Making me come when I was saving it all for tonight."

"Oh, wait until you've been with me later," he whispered back. "You're going to come several times tonight, I guarantee it."

Jade stretched and Bucky caressed her lithe body as she pushed herself outward. Their intercom buzzed and Steve's voice came through the speaker.

"Rise and shine lovebirds," he said. "Thirty minutes to provision run."

"Come on, quick shower," said Bucky. "I promise I won't molest you."

Bucky was as good as his word and in 15 minutes both were dressed and in the common room grabbing a quick bite to eat. On the table were boxes of electronics and 3D printed parts that they would use to barter for provisions and the horses. Scavenging as a way of life was necessary to find materials that others wanted. In a building full of inventive and creative people the flotsam that they picked up could be converted to many different uses, valuable to someone.

The lead car was comprised of Steve as driver, with Clint, Maria and Wanda while the second car was driven by Bucky, with Jade and Peter. Sam, as always, would be in the air. They had received word via Wanda that Scott Lang had arrived at the airport the day before and would be returning to the Bunker with them. Extra weapons were brought for him to use on the ride back. Steve had checked the weather station before they left and reported they would have a headwind going to Albuquerque with a chance of rain on the way back. Rain was never good as the Others loved water. It was speculated that was why they invaded Earth; to gain control of a planet that was three quarters water. They headed out and drove on the highway at 120 mph until the road got too rough, then they had to slow down to less than 60 mph. Eventually the guard turrets of Albuquerque became visible and Steve radioed in their code for safe passage through the minefield. Holding steady at 50 mph with Bucky following less than 10 feet behind him a track was elevated above the minefield and the two super soldiers drove onto it with pinpoint precision. Jade watched Bucky as he drove, his face was a mask of active concentration, his hands making slight adjustments on the steering wheel as they flew over the track to the other side of the minefield. As soon as they were clear the track lowered and both men gave a breath of relief as they now could slow down to a respectable 30 mph.

Jade looked excitedly out the window as Bucky drove behind the lead car. People waved at them and some ran to get their barter goods, knowing the Avengers always had good stuff to trade. She had never seen so many people in one place at one time. Her whole life had been spent first with Ma, then with Seth and Ben until Seth's death. But this was thousands of people and at first she was overwhelmed. Bucky took her hand and squeezed it.

"Stay close to me," he said smiling. "Don't want to lose you on your first shopping trip."

He reached under the seat and brought out a weapon, checking to make sure it was loaded, even though he had checked before they left. She noticed everyone was double checking their weapon. Bucky put his hand out for hers and he double checked and handed it back to her.

"We don't use them but we do show them," he said. "There are some people who think they can bully another to get a better deal. We wear the weapons openly to show them they aren't going to intimidate us. We get away with it because we're the Avengers and at one time or another we've saved their asses. Keep the safety on and lock your holster. Don't want an accidental discharge.

Then he went around to the trunk of the car and opened it, flipping open the boxes that were stored in there. The box of parts for the horse outfitter was kept in the back seat, under a blanket, with the doors locked. As soon as Bucky lifted the trunk hood a lineup had formed and people came with all sorts of stuff. Both he and Peter handled the business, nodding yes or shaking their head no at the offers. Someone offered gold for Jade and both Bucky and Peter stared so hard the man stammered and backed away.

"Fucking traffickers," Bucky muttered. "I'd love to shut down his operation. You have a unique look that they're always wanting for their sick customers. Come here and keep your arm around me to keep them at bay. I'm surprised he even dared to offer us something. They know we don't do that."

When the amount of barter items had been reduced to just one box Bucky asked Peter if he was okay on his own. Peter nodded and Bucky reached into a secret compartment in the trunk taking out a package. Grasping Jade by the hand they walked past Steve and the lead vehicle. Jade was amazed to see they had almost a full trailer of food stuffs.

"Steve, we're going to the clinic for the implant," he said. "Did you get any condoms? We're going to need them for the first couple of weeks."

"Some but you're going to need more, knowing you," smiled his friend. "What have you got for the clinic?"

"Wooden finger splints mostly," he said. "I machined some new scalpels as well."

"Woodworker and machinist?" Jade asked. "What else can you do that you haven't told me?"

"There's lot of things I can do," he looked at her directly. "We adapt and learn new skills all the time. There's always a market for well made things."

There was a small lineup at what was once a utility trailer. They stood behind the last person in line and patiently waited. Finally, it was their turn and the receptionist, a woman with multiple piercings, shaved head, and garish makeup looked up.

"Bucky," she said. "Long time, no see. What do you need?"

"My woman needs a birth control implant," he said. "We'll need condoms as well for the first couple of weeks."

"You could push it to a week," she said. "But I've got enough for even you, you horny bastard. What have you got?"

He showed her the finger splints and she turned them over in her hand, admiring the workmanship. She agreed they would pay for the condoms. He handed over the scalpels, explaining he had forged them himself from scrap metal, then had machined them to a high quality.

"You've outdone yourself," she said. "Six scalpels for the implant. If you want to sell me the rest of them I might be able to get my hands on some sex toys for the new girlfriend. Want to keep her happy."

"The mind connection is much better than any sex toy," said Jade in his mind. "Say no."

"No," he shook his head. "We're good. Thanks anyway. Dr. Wells might be interested in them."

"Suit yourself," she said. "Bring more next time and maybe I'll have something to tempt you."

The woman jerked her head behind her and the doctor, who had overheard the bargaining, asked Jade to expose the inside of her arm. He had her lie down with her arm bent at a right angle to her head. Then he injected a small amount of freezing into her arm near where the implant would go. While he waited for the freezing to take effect he told her there would likely be bruising and a cold compress would help with any swelling. He explained all the side effects that could go with it. Then he poked her arm to see if she felt the poke. With a special applicator he inserted the implant into the space between the two muscles on the inside of her upper arm. Covering it with a small bandage, then wrapping a larger bandage around the site he told Jade it was all done. Bucky helped her up and they left, holding hands.

"She's a piece of work but he's a good doctor," said Bucky. "They are the oddest couple. Let's see what Dr. Wells has for the remaining scalpels."

The lineup for this doctor was longer and Bucky was more protective of her as they waited. They saw the man who had offered gold for Jade watching them. A second man approached him and they spoke. Jade reached out and touched their minds. She touched Bucky.

"That man that offered you gold for me is back with another," she thought. "They're not taking no for an answer. They're considering taking you on."

"Hmph," said Bucky. "They wouldn't if they knew exactly what I could do to them. Can you keep track of them while I do the barter? That would be the best time to try something."

"Yes," she said. "They're broadcasting all over the place."

Finally, it was their turn and Bucky showed Dr. Wells' front person the scalpels. He had the six left and she was impressed with the quality.

"Could you make more?" she asked. "I can give you a box of penicillin for the six. Top grade."

"Deal," he said. "I can make more but it takes time to accumulate enough metal to forge."

Jade grabbed Bucky's hand. "They're making their move."

"Excuse me a moment," he said, leaning down into his boot and pulling out two knives. In one swift movement he turned and threw both knives at the men, catching them both in their shoulder. Then he picked each one up by the neck. "Touch her and you're dead. She's with me and you filthy pigs aren't getting your hands on her. Grunt if you understand."

Both made a sound that passed for a grunt. Bucky dropped them, then retrieved his knives from their shoulders, wiping the blades on the men's clothing as he stared them down.

"What do I get for giving you two customers?" he asked the receptionist, who smiled back at him.

"How about a vial of broad spectrum antibiotic?" she said sweetly. "Fucking traffickers."

With the antibiotics in hand they returned to the vehicles. Everyone was there including Scott who had hitched a ride from the airport. Jade felt good vibes from him right away when he offered his hand to her.

"Jade, I'm Scott," he said. "I've been on paternity leave. My wife Hope had a baby boy six months ago. You'll be sick of me by the end of my six month tour. These guys usually are."

"Hi Scott," replied Jade. "You're the Ant man, aren't you? Hank Pym is your father-in-law? Ma is going to love you."

Scott smiled his broad smile and nodded. "Wow, you really do read minds," he said. "Well, I'm an open book, no deep dark secrets to keep from you."

"Just first impressions, Scott," said Jade. "I'll stay out of your head unless it's an emergency."

Steve ordered everyone back in the cars as they still had to stop at the outfitters. Bucky put the antibiotics into a small cooler wired into the car to keep the drugs chilled. Scott transferred the box for the outfitter into the trunk and sat in back with Peter. They left Albuquerque noticing the headwind was now a tailwind and the forecasted rain hadn't yet happened.

also idk how they can compare what steve did to ‘moving out of the country’ lmao yeah no it’s a bit more than that. plus he went back in time to a time where bucky was being tortured and brainwashed by hydra, and he was fully aware of this fact and yet he was comfortable just.. doing nothing about it??? that’s NOT the steve we’ve learned to know and love, the one who moved heaven and hell to protect bucky. like this is not even about stucky, it’s about basic steve characterization and how it was all thrown out the window for… that

I think I'm so mean to endgame steve because I truly don't see him as steve rogers. because steve rogers, the one that we watched grow for ten years, would not have even considered for a moment what endgame!steve did

the writers threw all characterization out of the window. because what had been established about his character? what did we know about steve rogers? we knew that since the day he was old enough to walk, he was getting in fights. he was a chronically ill small boy who was bullied relentlessly. he came home bloody more days than not, and his single mother cradled his face and told him that he always stood up. that sarah rogers was his moral compass. we knew that bucky barnes stood up for him when they were six years old, and they'd been inseparable ever since. that steve couldn't just follow orders blindly. that he'd always protect the people that couldn't/wouldn't stand up for themselves. that if he was the only one against 100, he didn't care as long as he was on the side he thought was right. the core of steve rogers is that there will ALWAYS be another battle. it might not be with his fists, and it might not be a physical fight, but there's always going to be someone in need, and he was always going to be that little guy from brooklyn who was too stupid to walk away from a fight. he loved his friends because they were his family, and he would NEVER leave them behind. steve was a man out of time, but he'd made the 21st century his present.

endgame steve spent five years in a post-apocalyptic society in the basement mourning a woman who died of old age. who told him, blatantly, that she'd had her life and it was time for him to move on.

and the ending the writers concocted was so utterly untrue to the character (not to mention they said he wouldn't change history). he wouldn't live in an alternate timeline with alternate versions of people he knew when his friends were suffering his loss. he wouldn't sit back and relax while hydra infiltrated shield. while bucky was tortured. while the civil rights movement went on around him. he wouldn't have been there at all.

we all wanted steve rogers to have a happy ending. hasn't he paid enough? doesn't he deserve to be selfish? sure. but steve rogers isn't selfish. steve rogers has been bone tired since the day he was born, but his job on this earth wasn't done. not until he stopped breathing

passing the shield was the right decision. steve rogers' time as its owner was up. but that was the only right decision he made in that film.

#babes we have found ourselves in dangerous territory #i'm on the edge of a steve relapse and that is NOT what any of us need #anti endgame #steve rogers #ok I just looked at how much I just typed out in like five minutes and yah #relapse is official #long post

The Thing With Feathers

This is a fill for today’s @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt [#FFF248 Watching Birds] and my @steverogersbingo A4-Dystopian square (though I went more post-apocalypse with this)

Fandom: MCU/Marvel Pairing: [none - Steve Rogers POV] Rating: General Tags: Post-apocalyptic setting, Thanos Won, Dystopia, hopeful ending Summary: In a battered, war-torn world, Steve Rogers finds a bit of hope.

Steve hadn’t realized how much he missed seeing birds, and hearing them sing. Not that there’d been a whole lot of birds in the city besides sparrows and pigeons. You’d get a bit more variety in the parks, of course, but now - well, the skies felt empty and silent everywhere he’d gone.

Not that there was much of any place to go to, or any good way to get there other than by foot. Thanos’ attempt to save the universe by randomly cutting its population in half had unforeseen, devastating consequences, at least here on Earth.

The loss of so many people so suddenly caused havoc with power grids and other infrastructure; plunging a good portion of the developed world into chaos. Governments toppled, and madmen got their hands on weapons of mass destruction, setting petty scores with lasting consequences. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” seemed all too apt of a metaphor.

There were survivors, of course, gathering together in small bands - some violent, some peaceful. Steve Rogers abandoned the mantle of Captain America, instead becoming a nomad - offering his strength and his endurance to protect the latter against the former. He never gave his name and asked nothing in exchange other than what he needed to survive.

It was somewhere in the Adirondacks where Steve heard two bright clear whistles, followed by melodic chirping. A flash of red flickered between the trees and he followed, his heart soaring at the sight of a cardinal. Maybe, just maybe, the world wasn’t lost, after all.

✨masterpost of my works✨

posted to my ao3

[this post is subject to editing in the future]

Since I intend on using Tumblr a bit more now, and because I like neat lists, I thought it'd be prudent do make a little list of what I have out on ao3 right now!

My name's Looth, and I am ENTIRELY at the whims of my hyperfixations. I'm on twitter and pillowfort by the same handles, but I rarely use the latter.

fandoms: Stranger Things, Our Flag Means Death, The Witcher (Netflix) and Good Omens

[list under the cut!]

fanfiction

Good Omens:

A Nanny? In MY Summoning Circle?

A twoshot wherein Warlock Dowling meets his Nanny again, via the very normal uni student past time of trying to summon a demon with a book you found in a dodgy bookshop. Very fluffy, genderqueer Warlock.

[Complete] 2/2, 10.5k

The Witcher (Netflix):

The Viscount

[geraskefer endgame]

A 5+1 that works on the premise that "I'm from Lettenhove" is a sort of codeword in the royal class for children that have fallen out of grace with their court/family? And the higher your rank in Lettenhove, the worse the thing you have done is? Lots of Jaskier shenanigans, aggressive found family and genderfluid Jaskier.

Based on a post by @artistsfuneral.

[WIP] 3/?, 1.3k

build me up, buttercup [rated M]

[geraskefer endgame]

A longfic I've been chipping away at since 2020, dear God. Features Jaskier and Yen being fake married and co-parenting Ciri, Geralt getting adopted, the found family inherent to bards and the city of Oxenfurt, ftm Jaskier and Ciri having a well-deserved identity crisis. Also, ocs galore, gratuitous academia, and also Valdo Marx is immortal and Jaskier's annoying best friend.

Geraskefer endgame. My baby, who I will return to as soon as I am able.

[WIP] 15/?, 64k

Our Flag Means Death:

the inertia series [rated E]

a three-part series following Israel Hands as he attempts to move on from the things keeping him trapped in amber, unable to grow.

[steddyhands endgame]

[Complete] 62.9k

1. love like a dog on a leash

Izzy Hands encounters an old friend in the form of Sam Bellamy, Ed starts a barfight, and Stede learns some backstory.

All of these men are haunted in some way.

1/1, 5.5k

2. open season

Izzy Hands finds himself inexplicably being courted by various pirates to be their first mate. No one has addressed that fact that he isn't looking for a new Captain; he already has two. Steddyhands endgame, features some Jackhands.

A long look at the dynamics between Ed and Izzy, and now Stede, and the older dynamics of Ed, Izzy, Calico Jack Rackham and Sam Bellamy. Actually, it's a look at Izzy himself, and his various traumas and the way he's transitioning from being in a Black Sails type dark genre to this weird muppet land everyone else on this ship seems to live in.

7/7, 44.5k

3. red sky at morning

An epilogue, wherein the boys all contend with the future on the horizon; the good and the bad of it.

1/1, 11.9k

stranger things

[my current hyperfixation send help]

Eddie Munson and the Dreamboy

[steddie]

Wherein Eddie and El traverse the inside of Steve's mind, and encounter various Steves at different points in his life trying to find where he's hidden himself to escape Vecna's final curse.

A 5+1, featuring Steve's Scoops Ahoy flirting, a little baby Steve, and El's hair.

[Complete] 1/1, 8k.

Dustin Henderson and the Lovebirds

[steddie]

Five times Dustin Henderson was subjected to Eddie Munson being gross and sappy and in love with Steve Harrington, and one time Steve didn't even have to be there.

Features Steve being serenaded, Eddie Munson's Roger Rabbit Impression, Steve's Tiny Gym Shorts, and a good old fashioned worm conversation. Also, gay dnd.

[Complete] 1/1, 9.7k

always burning, world keeps turning

a two-part series set in a soft post-apocalyptic Hawkins, where community and family keep everyone going. And Steve and Eddie kiss about it.

[steddie]

[WIP]

1. took you for a working boy

In a post-apocalypse, mildly nightvale-flavoured Hawkins, Steve and Eddie are the only ones who aren't aware they're dating. Steve does not have a gender crisis but does have a lot of difficulty finding the words for it all, Eddie is oblivious but earnest (and running a radio show, Dr. Death Defying or Cecil Palmer style), Steve and Robin are ACTUALLY soulmates, and everyone's doing their best.

I cannot stress how much everyone thinks they're already dating. Featuring genderqueer Steve, disaster gay Eddie, scheming younger teens, and lots of stobin fluff.

[complete] 6/6, 43.8k

2. hometown blues

The sequel to working boy, wherein Gareth, Vickie and Steve's mom encounter how fucking weird Hawkins has got in their absence, and take it with varying degrees of grace.

[WIP] 3/? 17k

off-script

Wherein Steve Harrington has his sexuality all figured out, Eddie's in comically heavy denial, and everything rapidly snowballs from there.

[steddie]

1. off the beaten path

Wherein Steve figures out he's bi before Eddie figures out he's gay, but Eddie STILL manages to fall first.

Features Steve talking himself though discovering his sexuality in approximately five minutes while on the phone with a baffled Jonathan, and him aggressively flirting with the local metalhead. He's also very good at being an unreliable narrator.

It ALSO features said local metalhead (who thinks himself straight) accidentally flagging, calling Steve Harrington princess in a totally straight way, and doing the ttrpg equivalent of doodling your crush's name on a notebook over and over. Also, somehow he's convinced himself he just hates Steve.

This won't end badly for anyone, I'm sure.

[Complete] 6/6, 34.2k

2. no boys allowed

Robin Buckley has her very first Girls' Day. She gets her hair braided, consoles her heartbroken best friend, and everyone muddies the water a bit on the exact definition of what a Girl is.

Steve Harrington has a good cry about Eddie Munson.

[Complete] 1/1, 7.5k

3. here be dragons

Eddie Munson has kissed a boy, and now he has to handle the fallout. He's got to grapple with the fact that he likes boys, likes a boy, and the harrowing fact that he may have inadvertently broken said boy's heart.

Or, a rapidly snowballing fic that's become a series of character studies by accident. Features Mike Wheeler kicking Eddie's ass into gear, ruminations on being a fashion-assigned dom, Steve Harrington's Various Abandonment Issues, and a surprise Tommy Hagan.

[WIP] 6/?, 38.9k

original works:

court of law

A mildly unhinged second person pov piece about a person going to college and finding that he's trapped in a bizarre dreamscape with no memories. And a new body. He accidentally steals a cute boy's name.

Lots of shenanigans, lots of gender and bad jokes.

[WIP] 6/?, 13k

hey everyone! I'm looking for some long-term rp partners who are 18+, write on discord, communicative, and excited to write/plot/scream internally over these characters. mainly seeking canons but am also happy to double up and write ccxoc as any of the muses listed below. mxm, fxf, and mxf, are all good with me. see below for more info & if you're interested in writing, like this post and I'll reach out!

I write at least 2-3 paragraphs per reply and prefer partners who match (or exceed!) length. I love to delve into characters' heads/emotions and describe those in detail - development and relationships always come first imo. however, I also love writing smut and weaving it into the plot or doing a pwp here and there.

I consider myself pretty laid-back and understand life comes first - happy to wait for replies but also appreciate partners who let me know ooc if something comes up and they can't respond for awhile (and will do the same on my end). I typically respond at least once a day in the evenings (eastern timezone), sometimes more sometimes less, as I work a busy 9-5.

my main fandoms are marvel, atla, and asoiaf, though I'd also be interested in writing muses from the boys, stranger things, pacific rim, danny phantom, and riordanverse (mainly pjo since that's what I'm most familiar with).

my ships are below (bold characters are ones I'd prefer to write but am honestly flexible):

steve rogers x tony stark (marvel)

steve rogers x bucky barnes (marvel)

peter parker x mj watson (marvel)

peter parker x gwen stacy (marvel)

thor x loki (marvel)

charles xavier x erik lehnsherr (marvel)

moon knight boys (marc, steven, jake) x layla (marvel)

eddie brock x anyone tbh (marvel)

matt murdock x anyone tbh (marvel)

katara x zuko (atla)

aang x katara (atla)

azula x ty lee (atla)

sansa stark x daenerys targaryen (asoiaf)

rhaenyra targaryen x daemon targaryen (asoiaf)

jon snow x daenerys targaryen (asoiaf)

hughie x butcher (the boys)

hughie x starlight (the boys)

starlight x homelander (the boys)

nancy wheeler x robin buckley (stranger things)

steve harrington x nancy wheeler (stranger things)

raleigh becket x mako mori (pacific rim)

danny fenton x sam manson (danny phantom)

percy jackson x annabeth chase (riordanverse)

aaaaand here are some of my favorite tropes, but I'm down to explore others ofc:

enemies to lovers

fwb to lovers

unresolved sexual tension/pining/slow burn (!!!!!)

any form of angst tbh

au where one (or both) is a villain

kidnapping/stockholm syndrome

college/university au

secret identities

post-apocalyptic au

redemption arcs

dom/sub undertones (or overtones)

small town life

fluff or slice of life

hurt/comfort

omegaverse

fake marriage

experienced/inexperienced

if you're interested in writing, like this post and I'll reach out!

The Great War

Chapter One: Pirates

Steve Rogers x Reader Zombie Apocalypse AU

My knuckles were bruised like violets • Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked • Spineless in my tomb of silence • Tore your banners down, took the battle underground

TGW Masterlist

AN: Slow updates for this but here is chapter one. I have been writing A LOT over on wattpad (Have three stories going. Yeesh.) right now there’s a lot of personal stuff going on so all my stories are slow updates. This has been in my drafts for awhile though so thought I would finally get it posted.

Word Count: 2,316

Story Warnings: Zombies. Blood. Gore. What do you expect in a dystopian world. Strong language. Eventual smut. Could contain heavy content or topics, read at your own caution.

Summary: Some called it the end of time, others the zombie apocalypse, but most people called it The Great War— the living vs the dead. At first, that’s how it was split, only two sides fighting. But as the years drew on, the lines began to blur and the world became even more dangerous. When a new group makes itself known in your area, it’s your job to decide if they can be trusted or not. Especially when tragedy seems to strike and a fight against more than just the walkers is on the horizon.

The sound of dripping water echos through the destroyed pharmacy. It’s the only sound outside the quiet shuffle through the practically barren shelves of your search team. This is the only pharmacy within fifteen miles of your camp, and you know this is the last run you’ll be able to make here, having to go farther out the next time. The thought sets you on edge. The farther the runs the riskier they are. But you do what you have to do.

Your camp has rules, especially on runs, only take what you need, don’t horde, and don’t make noise unless absolutely necessary, the walkers are attracted to the noise. You know most people, especially now, take everything and anything they can. But your camp still believes in the laws of humanity. The laws set in place during the beginning of the pandemic.

1. Water and shelter should be your main priority.

2. Don’t horde supplies, everyone needs something.

3. Don’t fight them unless absolutely necessary.

And the last one, maybe the most important, 4. Do what you need to survive.

The world changed a lot in the beginning. Food, water, and medicine flying off the the shelves faster than demand warranted. This led to the rise of outbreaks as more and more people went looking for supplies, it also led to the start of fights against each other. As time went on, the pandemic turning into an apocalyptic situation, the Great War started and it only got more out of control. Places that were meant to be safe zones got ransacked by pirates, men that wanted to horde and control everything. More and more places became unlivable, making more and more people victims to the walkers.

Splitting up into smaller groups seemed to be the best option, not trusting outsiders. Your camp was more likely to survive that way. But small numbers could lead to dangerous situations if a walker pack found you. Advantage in numbers always meant more in the end.

Your camp is fairly decent in size. Stationed at an old school, it has plenty of room, buildings, and space. A nice twelve foot fence sits around it, and multiple wooden towers were built for look outs. You have great room for a garden during the spring and summer months. Even growing a few veggies during the fall to stalk up for winter. The school had some Ag barns available too, giving you place for a few cows and goats. You have a couple horses to help around camp too. It’s a nice camp, probably one of the nicest, not that you have a lot to compare it to though.

Your family was one of the first with the camp, helping build it to what it is now only a year into the war. Though just a year later, you were overrun by pirates and almost lost the whole thing. They had disguised themselves as refugees claiming to need safety, to want a home. They used the woman and children within their group to their advantage, but just as you all had let your guard down, letting them into your camp, trusting them, treating them as friends and comrades, they turned on you.

You lost a lot of good people that night, your father included. He was the only family you had, surviving for that long, only to die at the hands of greedy men. It sickened you. Most of the people left were in the same boat as you, losing family, friends. Left broken by the devastation of not only what life is now, but the grief of never getting it back. When you were able to banned together again, start rebuilding, most turned too you for direction, which lead to you taking on more and more responsibility as time went on. You were able to build up the school again, and now, two years after the initial mutiny you suffered, the basecamp is better than before.

Peter, the other lookout partner in front of the pharmacy, turns to look at you, whispering out and drawing you from your mind, “Do you see that?”

You look out the windows, following his gaze, and see a small movement of a shadow across the way. “Guys let’s hurry it up, we could have company.” You tell the two in the back going through the aisles looking for supplies.

“Friendlies?” One calls back, making you whisper under your breath as you see more movement, “they’re never friendly.”

You make sure your gun is loaded before bringing the butt of it up to your shoulder, looking through the scope with your right eye. You can tell immediately that they aren’t walkers, just by how they carry themselves. But there are at least 4 that you can see, all together, which puts you on edge.

“Alex, hurry it up.” You yell when you see where they’re direction is headed, “We got maybe four minutes before they come in here.”

It takes two more minutes before Alex and Miles finish grabbing the supplies they can find, coming to stand by you and Peter.

“Is there a back way out of this place?” Miles questions, and you have to sigh, knowing there is, but it’s a longer stretch to get back to the bikes, “Alright, stick close, we don’t need anything to draw attention to our location. I don’t think they know we’re here. Let’s keep it that way.”

You receive three nods from the teenage boys. They might still be young, but they’re the best when it comes to runs, fast and efficient. All of them alone like you after the betrayal.

At first, when they sort of stuck to you like small ducklings, you found them extremely annoying. Especially when they would beg day after day to get to go on runs and be part of the scout teams. Some days you still find them annoying, but they’ve turned into little brothers to you, and they’ve proven themselves ten fold in their duties.

The three of you sneak out the back way through the broken door, trying not to step on all the glass and debris around. Going this way, your forced to walk two extra blocks to make it back to the bikes, but when you get into view of them, your happy you had to go this way, as there’s extra coverage than the front offered.

You put your hand up, stopping the boys behind you as you spot the two men at your bikes. Their weapons are by their sides, hanging off their shoulders as the look the bikes over. You put your finger to your lips before gesturing with your hands how you want the boys to approach, lifting up your gun as they do the same. You flip the safety off.

“On your knees.” You make your presence known with a gun to the blonde mans back. He puts his hands up, as the other man reaches for his gun, being stopped by Peter, “Don’t even think about it.”

“We don’t want any trouble.” The blond man says as he slowly turns around to face you, you take a step back in case he makes a move for your gun. He’s a lot bigger than you, probably stronger. He stands at at-least 6’5, arms and legs fully muscled. His broad shoulders are strained as he understands him and his buddy are out numbered when Alex and Miles make their appearance. He’s more of a dirty blonde now that you can see him closer, face full of a beard. He has small scars on his face, as most people do now a days from such harsh living, and his eyes are blue, dark like the night sky.

“So you’ll have no problem getting on your knees then.” Your shrug nonchalantly, face stoic as you keep your gun trained on him, target locked right where his heart should be. You aren't taking any chances, you don't know these strangers. You don’t trust them.

“Okay.” He gestures with one hand for his buddy to follow his lead, getting on his knees. His friend follows him down, but with a dirty glare on his face.

“You bandits?” The black haired man spits out, and you roll your eyes at his accusation, considering they were the ones looking at your bikes, “No, just people that don't like strangers touching their bikes.” You gesture with your chin for Alex and Miles to get on one of the bikes, waiting until Peter gets on the other one before climbing on behind him, gun still pointed just in case.

“We didn’t know they were anyones.” The blonde man reasons as he starts to put his hands down. He watches the four of you curiously and you don’t like that he's studying you. “We wouldn't have come near them if we knew they were someones.” “Right.” Miles scoffs, and you send him a look. Don’t antagonize the very big men, Miles. The teenager just starts up the bike, Peter doing the same. you don’t lower your gun until Peter starts to drive away, trowing it over your shoulders as your arms move wrap around his waist.

Looking back over your shoulder, you make out that the two men are no longer alone, four new bodies beside theirs, all watching the bikes drive away. You recognize one of them, the short blonde girl, and you realize she was one of the people you saw in the scope back at the pharmacy.

You face forward again, an uneasy feeling in your stomach that you were never really outnumbering the men. Your stomach churns more at the thought that this might not be the last time you see them.

“How’d you do?” Jean, one of the nurses at the compound, ask as you and the boys place the medical supplies on the table in the lab room. Alex starts to fill her in on what items you were able to acquire as you instruct Peter and Miles to take the food bags to the cafeteria for distribution.

You don’t usually make it a habit to do consecutive runs together— food, pharmacy, and base supplies— but you knew this could very well be the last run in that area and wanted to take advantage of it.

“Any problems?” Logan questions you as you put the gun over your shoulder on the table beside him. Logan is fairly older than you, having been in his forties when the outbreak started. He lost his wife and daughter in the beginning before making his way north, running into you and your dad. You traveled to the school together, making it what it is now. He was there for you when your dad passed. You don’t trust anyone as much as you trust Logan.

Logan was in the army before the world ended, having knowledge of tactics and weaponry and all the scars to prove it. His wisdom is beneficial and he's usually the one to train the recruits and over see scouting duty stations and scheduling.

“Yeah.” You shrug, but he can see your jaw clenched, rising a brow and waiting for you to explain whatever it is that’s plaguing your mind, “We had a small run in with some others but nothing serious.” “But you’re worried.” He summarizes, being able to read you like a book after all these years, “You think they’re pirates?”

“Dont know.” You shake your head, running a hand over your forehead, “But I don’t think we’ve seen the last of them.” “I don’t know of another camp this far North.”

And you sigh, because you haven't either, “Thats what I’m afraid off. They're either new, which is entirely plausible, or they’re travelers.”

“Either one could be a problem.” Logan nods, his mindset the same as yours.

Whoever they are, you hope they stay far away.

“You boys alright?” Nat questions Steve and Bucky as her, Yelena, Sam, and Clint make their way over to the two men.

Bucky scoffs, “You could have come out, what if they had shot us?”

“If they knew they were outnumbered it could have spooked them.” Nat rolls her eyes at the man, “We don’t want unnecessary fights, remember?”

Steve nods to the girl, “You did the right thing.” “Who do you think they were?” Yelena questions as she watches the bikes disappear.

“Pirates.” Bucky spits out, venom lacing his voice, but Steve shakes his head, hands on his hips as he watches the now empty street where the bikes once were, “Nah, I don’t think so.”

“Yeah, they were too clean to be pirates. Young too.” Sam agrees.

Bucky frowns, “The girl was older though, at least in her 20s.”

“Think they have a camp here? Or it’s just them?” Nat asks.

“Did you see their bags? They were gathering supplies. This was a run for them. They’re probably part of a camp.”

“I didn’t know there was a safe zone this far north?” Yelena’s eyebrows furrow as she tries to think, “I thought the closest one was like 200 klicks from here?”

“Maybe it’s not a safe zone.” Nat remarks, “Just a small camp.”

Clint nods, before tilting his head, “Maybe. But the stores were basically wiped clean, we got a few things but not much. Wonder how they did.”

“They didn't take everything? They had to have been in there before you guys.” Bucky observes.

Clint shrugs, “If they were, they didn’t take all that was left.”

Steve turns over to his best friend, giving him a pointed look, “Doesn’t seem like pirate behavior to me.”

Sam sighs, “Whoever they were, they’re gone now. And we should get going too. It’ll be dark soon, we need to get back to the others.”

Steve nods as the six of them start making it back to they’re set up for the night, his mind set on the woman with the gun pointed at him, wondering who she is, and how she's managed to survive this long with three teenagers.

Maybe they're wrong and there is a safe haven near by. Maybe they don’t have to try and travel another 130 miles before reaching a proper shelter.

Its a dream, Steve knows that. The likelihood of that being true is slim. But the longer they're traveling, the harder its becoming, and the more restless they all become, especially the kids. He just wants his people, his family, to be safe.

As safe as they can be that is.
