If You Could Go Back...

Note: The conversation I think happened, or at least a variation on it, between Steve and Bucky leading up to the last few minutes of Endgame (spoilers below the cut).

There is reference to and mention of Bucky Barnes x OFC (Taryn Lantz) - which should surprise no one. Haha.

If you could go back...

They had Pepper and Tony’s house to themselves, more or less. Bruce was out in the clearing they had designated as the staging ground for Steve’s journey into the past, at least it would be once he finished fine tuning the Quantum Tunnel 3.0. Bucky was coming in from the garage, a couple beers in hand and mobile phone cradled between his metal shoulder and ear. From the sound of things he was talking to Taryn. The Inhuman had taken off with the others - Pepper, little Morgan, Happy, Sam, Wanda, Rhodey, and Carol - to check on the status of the old Avengers’ Tower renovation before she and Wanda went off to “cause trouble”. He laughed, “Okay Doll. Yea...no. Don’t get into actual trouble, please. Haha. Yes, I promise we’re gonna take it easy. I love you too.”

Innocent sun-like grin on his face, the brunet handed his brother one of the two cold brown bottles. Taking the phone, he tapped the end call button and sat in one of the overstuffed cushioned chairs in what served as the Potts-Stark family room. Steve had popped off the screw top and taken a swig, the kind that downed about a third of the bottle in one go. The act didn’t go unnoticed and Bucky cocked his head, “Is what you wanted to talk to me about that bad?”

“Maybe, I mean, I don’t know,” he sighed, drawing his hand over his face. Only stopping to pinch the bridge of his nose and take a deep breath. Squeezing his eye shut he cut right to it, “If you could go back, live the time we lost in the ice and to HYDRA, would you?” When he opened his eyes, Steve fixed his gaze on Bucky. This was the person he’d known longest and best. Out of everyone in the world - out of time - there had always been James Buchanan Barnes and Steven Aaron Rogers. Then they’d been cleft apart by a single moment on an Austrian mountain. Here they were: Both well over a hundred years old and looking like millennials born in the mid and late 1980s.

He physically chewed that thought over, catching the inside of his lower lip between his canines. Several minutes passed before, nodding his head, the man was willing to answer. “It’s a nice thought but...no. I mean, don’t get me wrong, everything is always going to feel weird. There are references and experiences growing up that our friends have where we’re going to be lost. But I wouldn’t change my present to erase my past. My friends are here,” he raised his bottle to Steve, “my girl’s here,” He tapped the back of his phone, balanced on the arm of the chair, “And I have a life here that we couldn’t ever have had back in the 40s or 50s. With everything we’ve seen and done...I belong here.”

The blonde looked almost crestfallen, eyes fixed on the mouth of his beer bottle. “So you’re happy here,” he whispered, a small smile pulling at the corner of his mouth. Of course he was. All the tech and futuristic things Bucky had been infatuated of were real now and, save for a handful of people, everyone they both loved was here. “When we were in the past, collecting the Infinity Stones, I saw Peggy.”

“Oh no. Steve.”

“No. Hold on. I was close enough that I could have touched her. If she’d turned to the left, she’d have seen me and I don’t know that I could have continued with the mission if that had happened,” a shaky breath escaped him. This was the most Bucky (or anyone) had seen of him breaking or broken since coming out of the ice fifteen years prior. There only exceptions were Peggy’s and Tony’s funerals and the immediate aftermath of The Snap. “I thought I had moved on, I really did. I thought I could pick up the pieces and build something new - even after we buried Peggy and then what happened in 2018. I thought that once we fixed what Thanos had done that it’d be fine and we could all just move on. But then I saw her and I knew. I knew it in my bones Buck. All these years I’ve been lying to myself.” His voice was breaking and he rubbed the back of his hand across his eyes.

Blinking, the other man swallowed and set his sweating bottle on the coffee table. “You can’t change the past Steve,” his voice was matter-of-fact but the look on his face was like he’d been back handed by a gorilla. The knot forming in Bucky’s stomach wasn’t novel, he’d felt it often on the run the three years before everything that happened in Germany and Wakanda. Now it was different. Steve was hiding something from him and he wasn’t sure he could get the blonde to tell him what it was.

A heavy silence hung between them. Swallowing hard, Bucky searched his brother’s face and blue eyes for some clue as to what he was planning. “Hypothetically speaking, if you could go back I’d want you to leave me wherever the fuck I am. I know you well enough to know that if this were something you’d do, you’d come rescue me and...just don’t do it Stevie.” The childhood nickname catching the blonde’s attention like a clarion call, “You can’t change the past and I...I don’t want it to be my future. That’s here and now, with the people I just hung up with. It’s your future too buddy. I know you miss Peggy but...”

Smiling weakly, Steve sighed and stared past Bucky and out the window, “I can’t change the past, I know.”

---

He caught the girls outside and motioned for Taryn to follow him. The Inhuman obliged, running a hand through her wind-blow hair. “What’s up Steve,” she asked, stopping at the edge of the driveway. He was heading to the meet up with the others at the Quantum Tunnel.

Clapping a gloved hand on her shoulders he asked, “You’ll take care of Bucky?”

Brow furrowed curiously, she tilted her head ever so slightly to the side, “Of course.”

“Good,” he pursed his lips and nodded several small nods, “Okay. I’m gonna go. See you when I get back.” With that he walked off, not seeing the increasingly puzzled expression that took over her features.

---

“How did you know he’d be on that bench,” Sam asked, setting the shield down inside his quarters in the tower. He hadn’t been comfortable asking the Winter Soldier about it in the days immediately following Steve’s return as an old man. Like all of their quarters, his was filled with boxes and piles of things that needed unpacking and organizing. It was part of why he’d chosen now to talk to Bucky about it - Taryn, Wanda, and the others were putting their own quarters together. For Wanda in particular, it was a distraction that aided her in dealing with Vision’s own death.

A tired chuckle reverberated through Bucky’s chest, “He’d said that if he stayed in the past he’d make sure to come back to us. He’d be waiting on a bench by the lake because the view was nice and we - I - would see him there.” Shaking his head he continued, this was the second time he’d talked through the conversation he and Steve had had, “I tried to talk him out of it, just didn’t realize it was a serious discussion at the time. He phrased it as hypotheticals so I...I thought he was kidding. That he was working through his own time travel induced concerns from seeing Peggy when they jumped to the 1970s. Never crossed my mind that he’d seriously...stay behind.” Swallowing he laughed at himself. Despite telling Steve he’d miss him, in partial jest, he hadn’t actually thought that the blonde would stay in the past.

Clapping a hand on his shoulder, Sam offered, “You’ve still got all of us Barnes.”

That made the centenarian smile. They were, as he heard Taryn call to him from down the hall, far from the end of the story.

Mod’s Reads: September 2017

Here’s the list of everything the Mods have read this past month!

Mod Blue

the wound is not deep, but you know it exists (that is enough) by Nori Steal The Rhythm Out From My Heart by Nori Gravitation by Odsbodkins three's company by theappleppielifestyle Stargazing by claimedbydaryl the camera found chemistry by mostlikelydefinentlymad Rhythm to the Fray by hitlikehammers Not gonna reach my telephone by haku23 progressively bigger keys by layersofsilence kicking down the door by layersofsilence If Steve Rogers Were Your Boyfriend by bopeep Jumbotron Misunderstandings by orphan_account to hide the wolves of sleep by beardsley Then and now by Miss_Von_Cheese Living On My Own by rekishi Take Me to Church by neversaydie

Mod Julia

Be the ember by rohkeutta

Bucky shakes an errant lock of hair back from his face, tilting his jaw up. Steve’s eyes track the shift of the kaftan, the tantalizing glimpse of Bucky’s collarbones.

“Where do you find this stuff?” Steve asks, his hand smoothing up Bucky’s metal arm, over the silken sleeve and down Bucky’s back, coming to rest on the small of his back. “You never buy any when we’re in town.”

everything comes back to you by obsessivereader

Steve drags a hand through his hair before plucking at the front of his shirt and flapping it to get air moving against his skin. Bucky watches, transfixed, as he keeps getting flashing glimpses of Steve’s nipples. He flicks a guilty glance at Steve just in time to see Steve’s eyelids sliding down to cover his eyes. Bucky's stomach turns over at the thought that Steve might’ve caught him looking. He’s not sure whether to be relieved at not getting caught, or disappointed.

it's None of your Business by layersofsilence

or: the one where Steve is commissioned to get some better signage on his Dragon Community Centre, not run into the world's most stupidly improbably attractive man. guess what happens anyway

sometimes dead is better by aniloquent

Based on the Tumblr prompt "you absolutely loathe horror films whereas i love them, can we please please please just watch one? i’ll hold you if you get scared!"

a creative use for adamantium by mwestbelle

Steve wants to try something new.

From Little Things by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen)

In which Steve is something like a dryad, Bucky's not the Winter Soldier anymore but he's not quite sure he's Bucky, and together they discover that some choices are worth making.

How to Seduce a Writer by obsessivereader

What's a determined master strategist going to do when the oblivious writer he's trying to woo keeps missing all the clues?

Puppy Love by velvetjinx

Steve is straight. Or at least, that's what he thinks until he meets his new dog-walking client, Bucky. Now he's having all these feelings he's never had before, what is he going to do?

The Good Monster by Taste_is_Sweet

"What's happening to you has nothing to do with you being bad," Steve said. "Nothing. It has everything to do with Hydra using men like lab rats. You think all the men who didn't survive the experiments were evil?"

"No," Bucky said. "I think they were lucky."

Run With It by aMillyOrates

There was a Hot Runner Guy on the trail, and Steve Rogers couldn't handle it.

(Turns out, Bucky has the same exact problem.)

Mod Karin

Anatomy of a Scandal by Rena

When Steve Rogers returns to Brooklyn, the marriage arranged for him having proven to be a sham, he is desperate; desperate to regain his footing in Society, desperate to secure a wealthy spouse capable of paying the costly treatments that keep his mother alive and settling his family's debts. But how is he to do that when people view him as nothing more than damaged goods, someone to be sneered at, ridiculed, looked down upon, or pitied at best?

An opportunity presents itself when Lord Barnes, the renowned carefree Casanova of Brooklyn, forgets himself during one night of drunken stupor, sending Steve a letter that flouts all laws of common decency. An agreement is soon made: in return for Steve's discretion, Lord Barnes will pretend to court him, taking him to the most fancy events of the season where Steve can be introduced to potential suitors. It all works out perfectly, until Steve comes to understand that Lord Barnes is not as pompous and self-absorbed as he believed....

Fourth Floor by dirtybinary, mithborien, picoalloe

Steve has his life in order, okay. He goes to wizard college, even if he can't technically do magic. He has his own apartment, even though it's small and dinky and kind of gross, and forgets to exist sometimes, and might also be alive? Plus, he has a crush on the hot cyborg in unit 404 who cooks fiendishly good breakfast foods, and may or may not have some kind of weird connection to the sentient building they live in. He's not sure.

He's dealing, all right, his life is in tip-top condition, or it was until an eldritch monstrosity called the Hydra started posing as a real estate company to try and buy over his new home.

He's really pissed about that.

(The one where Steve is an angry millennial wizard, Sam is a Disney prince, Natasha is a shapeshifter, and Bucky is a spoiler.)

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? by milollita, OriginalCeenote

Person A of your OTP is a vampire and is next in line to lead the clan. Person B is a lone werewolf who was kicked out of their pack (you decide why). One night, person A goes on a hunting trip by themselves, but end up getting caught in some sort of trap. They are stuck there for however many days until they are nearly starving to death. Person B finds them and, instead of killing them like anyone else from their pack would, they hunt for food for person A and try to help them. Although person A is very unsure/terrified of person B at first, they are so starving that they accept the food with next to no hesitation, despite being raised to never trust werewolves.

Bucky was hoping for a savior, sure. There were better ways for him to spend his time than waiting in a five-by-five cell, waiting to have the life blood drained out of him for corporate profit.

He just wasn’t expecting his savior to be small enough to tuck into his hip pocket, with such a crazy look in his eye. Or naked. He was breathing hard, bony chest heaving, and he was dripping all over Bucky’s floor, gripping something weird in his hand.

A finger.

“So. You want out, right?”

Howitzer by spacebuck

Bucky Barnes, figure skating champion, is forced to switch his skates for hockey ones when he leaves for college. Problem is, he's never played hockey before, and now he has to be good enough to get the scholarship he needs. Enter Steve Rogers, Carter University Men's Hockey player, who's decided that he'd do anything to get this guy on his team.

Cue five am runs, overwhelming classes, new friends, plenty of snow, and a sport that's fast becoming a way of life.

Perilous Underside of the World by eyres

After Steve becomes an unwilling subject in Ross's pet weapons project to make a next gen super soldier, Bucky is awakened from cryo to join a daring rescue operation to save Steve from an impenetrable government base on the Antarctica coastline. When things go belly up, Steve and Bucky must strike out on their own across the hostile landscape, with Ross's men close behind.

AKA 'The one where Steve throws a snowmobile at a helicopter.'

Siege by ftmsteverogers

Steve called him Bucky, and the Winter Soldier was trying to shoulder into that name like a badly-fitting jacket.

Or, the one where the Winter Soldier pulls Steve from the Potomac and sticks around this time.

Summer Don't Own Me No More by alby_mangroves, Nonymos

Bucky Barnes, weary soldier, illegal immigrant, sarcastic sex worker. Steve Rogers, miracle of science, lonely man, disillusioned cop. Both of them on a collision course in this brave new world, like that's not gonna end in sex and explosions.

the occult. by orange_crushed

The whole ship is like that: alive with light, as if light were the blood in its veins. It still bothers him when he's not tired enough to sleep, but he's starting to get used to it. Starting to appreciate that the thing he lives inside is almost as much of an organism as he is. Strange, but also strangely reassuring.

Sometimes when he lies in the dark here, cocooned in his bunk, he wonders what it's like in the tube. If it's quiet. He hopes it's restful. Peaceful. Soft, like the sleep of late morning, with sun coming in from around the drapes. Steve wonders if the translucent panel that covers and shields and contains him also lets in light. If behind his closed eyelids, he can still see something, the way that Steve can when he shuts his own eyes here, now. If he is seeing a kind of permanent sunrise; a long dream of a slow dawn.

MINE THOUGHTS ON BIG BROTHER

FAYSAL - definitely a jock type, can’t see him getting evicted first unless he pisses everyone off. he’s got a face that’s either “i’m the nicest guy in the house” or “i’m the new josh,” there is NO in between. his strategy for not letting anyone see he’s a physical powerhouse is going to kind of backfire because he’s SUCH a huge jock that i could tell he was a fucking jock from just his headshot, no freaking way anyone is going to think this guy isn’t a physical threat.

SAM - nice “i want to see your manager” haircut, madam. she describes herself as “multifaceted, charming and charismatic,” and i can already tell i am going to hate this woman. and whomst in the fuck says their favorite big brother houseguest is DANIELE????? (i was trying to think of a worse choice, and i can only come up with like, either cody from last season, or the hantz cousin who got kicked off for trying to kill a guy, or maybe lawon from season 13 who volunteered to get evicted because he thought they’d bring him back with special powers, which did NOT happen.) and then this woman goes on to describe herself with all the positive adjectives she can pull from her thesaurus. she calls herself “extremely perceptive and intuitive,” and says she’ll “influence the other houseguests by means of gentle persuasion and manipulation. Another terrible talent of mine.” I HATE SAM ALREADY. she’s going to get kicked out on day 1 with this attitude. be humble sit down.

TYLER - haven’t we already had like, 50 curly blonde headed surfer guys on this show? what is the deal? anyway one of his descriptive words is “questionable.” he calls himself “questionable.” okay. he says victor, dan and zach (literally “fruit loop dingus” zach) are his favorite houseguests and i love you already, tyler. great choices. his strategy is playing both sides of the house, which isn’t even a strategy since literally everyone does it. his life motto is “do whatever the hell you want” and for something he’d like to bring into the house, he lists “quinoa.” I LOVE HIM ALREADY. I SUPPORT HIM. “QUINOA.” WHAT A LEGEND

BAYLEIGH - okay that is.... the most millennial name i ever heard. but like, it’s not a name that a millennial should have, it’s a name that a millennial would give their child. anyway. one of her descriptive words is “engulfing.” what does that mean, i guess we’ll find out. i like her face. sometimes you just like people’s faces. her favorite houseguest ever is donny, which i think is a clue that i was right that she’s a kind person. she has a kind face AND loves donny, she’s got to be nice (but maybe not too concerned with gameplay, since donny, bless his heart, was the biggest floater ever). her strategy is basically just a long-winded “be myself” kind of thing. i respect that. AND SHE LITERALLY SAYS “BE HUMBLE SIT DOWN” IN HER LIFE MOTTO, DO YOU FUCKING HEAR THAT SAM? i hope bayleigh roasts sam in cold blood and brings her down to earth!!!! okay, further evidence that she’s the nicest houseguest: she wants to bring her bible and yoga mat into the house. i love her. but still, i hope she turns mean and roasts sam. because i hate sam.

JC - here we have our token gay, but he’s clearly also a token bro at the same time. his favorite houseguest of all time is josh....... okay moving on. his strategy is “I am going to be the sweetest small guy that everyone would want to hug and kiss.” best strategy i ever heard in my life. seriously. this is how people win. except for josh, who won by being so insane that no one considered him a threat. which is why NO ONE SHOULD WANT TO EMULATE HIM, THIS STRATEGY ALMOST NEVER WORKS. anyway. enough about josh. returning to jc. not much to talk about with him, just that i definitely think he’s going to get far in the game because he doesn’t talk shit, he isn’t arrogant, he doesn’t look like a huge physical threat (although he’s a dancer so he might be), and his strategy is to be really nice to everyone, which is actually a great freaking strategy. i think he will go far.

HALEIGH - oh my god, first we had a “bayleigh” and now we have a “haleigh.” my god, these freaking millennials and their leigh names. facially, the moment i saw her i was like “she looks just like aaryn” which is..... hopefully not indicative of her personality or beliefs.... anyway, she loves her family, and her favorite houseguest is derrick because “he played an honest game,” yet in the very next paragraph she talks about wanting to deceive her fellow houseguests, so what is the truth? don’t know about her, don’t really have much to say. just that, she talks about being adopted and i hope to god she’s not aaryn’s separated at birth secret twin sister or anything. because that’s the kind of stunt big brother would pull on us commoners.

STEVE - okay now we have our token old man, who will either get evicted immediately or float to the middle and then get betrayed. his favorite contestant is mike boogie. interesting choice. he literally doesn’t even have a strategy and his life motto is “rock on,” and i love him already. and of COURSE he was a cop, because is there a single token old man other than donny who isn’t a cop? wasn’t kevin a cop? i feel like kevin was a cop. or was that someone else? damn i don’t even remember. this guy looks like the kind of houseguest who will float around and not stir up any trouble, and frankly they’re my favorite to root for.

KAYCEE - her strategy is honesty and loyalty, she’ll probably get betrayed on day one. not to be cynical but really. she says that big brother is the only tv show she watches... damn. that could be a great asset for her; with no other shows competing for her memory, her knowledge of the game could be stronger than others who watch a lot of TV. and if she ONLY makes time for big brother and no other show, she’s probably the superest of superfans. she may be one to watch, or she may not. we will see.

WINSTON - damn this guy looks like a winston. he comments that he’s been living alone for 2 years, as though this will help him adjust to the isolation of the big brother house, but... it’s kind of the opposite? after living alone for 2 years, you’re going to be shoved in a house with over a dozen strangers and forced to interact with them all day every day while cameras watch you. i think this guy is going to have a bigger culture shock than he expects. his favorite houseguest is paul. i can see why people would love paul, he seems like the smartest guy in the room, but the reality is, paul isn’t that smart, he’s just been stuck in two consecutive seasons with a cast full of IDIOTS. winston apparently writes love letters to his dog everyday......... that’s dedication. also, he says that he’s been mistaken for two celebrities: ryan reynolds (i can see it) and justin timberlake (nope he’s tripping). somehow i get the feeling that he’s not going to adjust well to the house, and may end up being one of those guys that begs everyone to evict him because he can’t stand it.

RACHEL - first of all, her favorite houseguest is britney, which is the most valid possible answer. she sort of looks like natalie from idk how many season ago that dated james. strategy: to downplay being a physical threat and remain loyal to her original allies. dude, you gotta go with the flow, sometimes you just can’t stay loyal. i actually don’t even have that much to say. just, she looks okay. fine.

SCOTTIE - forgive me if i’m wrong but is this the token nerd, a la ian and steve? he says his least favorite part of the big brother house will be getting shook when he walks in a room and everyone stops talking because they were plotting something, and... that’s 100% something a superfan would say. his favorite player is evel dick, which would be valid if evel dick wasn’t literally an evil human being. he describes himself as a hungry shark and says that his strategy is to pick off the floaters and JESUS this guy is aggressive. also he is a virgin who has never been kissed and freely admits to this fact. somebody get this man a showmance.

ANGIE “ROCKSTAR” - this season’s token eccentric with dyed hair, huge-ass harry potter glasses, and crazy eyes. one of her favorite activities is “dancing under the moonlight around a fire to fierce drum beats.” her favorite houseguests are joey (blue haired girl that got eliminated first like 3 seasons ago) and frankie. she wants to bring a statue of ganesh into the house. she mentions giving natural birth to all her children. i am just stating all this information. i am not going to give comment. just.... telling it like it is.

CHRIS “SWAGGY C” - please god, let this guy not be serious about his nickname, because i am not making reference to “swaggy c” for the rest of the summer. he LOVES paul and says that paul is better than every single other winner except a few, and..... i mean he’s not even wrong, but that’s more a statement about the quality of big brother rather than the quality of paul’s gameplay. when asked if he has a strategy, he says “of course” but doesn’t reveal it.... sneaky sneaky, i like the cut of his jib! he mentions wanting to bring a notebook into the house, but says he doesn’t even need it because he has a photographic memory. we’ll see about that, buster. he seems really confident and ready to play, and idk if that will work in his favor or not.

ANGELA - if katharine mcphee and sarah michelle gellar had a baby. she’s like, the 10th consecutive houseguest to say that the hardest thing about the house will be lack of social media. she seems to hate men, her favorite houseguest is rachel, she calls herself the networking queen, and she’s extremely athletic. this lady is either going to get eliminated immediately or make it to the end. i am calling it. i have a good feeling.

BRETT - has the weirdest descriptive words of any of them: “Vehement, riveting, and trophy.” wtf. like many other hgs, he plans to lie about his career for no discernible reason. whatever. he wants to bring a toothbrush into the house because he “doesn’t want the ladies to think he has stank breath.” you and every other competitor, bud. he also mentions hacking into other people’s computers for fun. okay edgelord. i don’t like this guy, i just have a bad vibe. i feel like he’s going to be one of the first eliminated cause no one will like him.

KAITLYN - suuuuuuper spiritual. crystals. mediums. seances. the whole shebang. production is probably gonna ask her to ramp it up to make herself look even more of a stereotype so everyone can laugh. i feel like she’s not gonna make it far and i already feel sorry for her.
