#thundershield concept

[leisurelypanda]

AU where Thor's a famous actor and Steve's his personal assistant, the two of them spending long hours working together with Thor's busy schedule. Steve likes the job, hoping this could be his chance to break into acting himself, plus he gets to work with his biggest crush (though he never says that last part out loud). Thor's never had an assistant he's liked as much as Steve, who always helps him run lines and just generally brightens up his day. Sometimes it feels like they're just friends instead of boss and employee, sometimes possibly more...

Oooo I love this concept!

The best part about being the personal assistant to a famous actor is that Steve gets to travel a lot. Before he got this job, he never thought that he would get to see so many places other than NYC. Now he's been to Hollywood and several countries on each continent. Each one was packed with adventure. And work, of course, because Thor is a person whose skills as an actor are in high demand. He's incredibly popular both because of his amazing physique and down-to-earth approach to his fans. He's also unexpectedly wise and insightful when he talks to interviewers. The more time Steve spends with him, the more Steve can tell just how special a person Thor is.

As for Thor, he's never had a personal assistant who's been able to keep up with the demands of his job as well as Steve. It's as though Steve has Thor's entire schedule memorized and he never forgets a thing. He even makes a good travel companion because he's flexible enough to sit back and relax when they're able. Steve also makes a good workout partner and Thor has definitely taken advantage of their workouts together to check out his delicious ass as well as his impressive chest.

The attraction is mutual, of course. Every time Thor has a photo shoot, Steve finds himself more and more attracted to the guy. He literally looks good in everything he wears. He's even given some of it to Steve when he either didn't care for the clothes himself or if he didn't have space in his wardrobe. Steve always likes to think that he's wearing Thor's clothes when that happens.

The lines gradually start to blur between them. Sure, Steve is his assistant, but the longer they work together, the more like friends they seem to be. They talk about guys and girls they date. Steve tries not to be jealous as much as possible. Thor tries to be open-minded.

One day, though, Thor calls it off with a guy he had been seeing discreetly. Although he's out to the media as pansexual, he does try to keep his dating life as distant from the public eye as he can. The guy was only interested in being Thor's sugar baby, not in Thor himself. It's one of the things Thor is easily annoyed by. It's also probably why celebrities date each other so often.

He and Steve meet at the bar of the hotel they're staying at. It's empty at that time of night, but they still sit in a secluded corner of the room. Steve is the cautious type when it comes to Thor and Thor appreciates the lengths he goes to in order to keep the paparazzi off his tail.

One thing leads to another. One moment they're drinking and venting to each other about their dating troubles. The next, Steve confesses that the biggest reason he loves his job is because of his feelings for Thor. Before they can think better of it, they're kissing each other, making out in an empty elevator.

The next morning, Steve wakes up with Thor in his bed. Or rather, he seems to be in Thor's bed. Thor is using his chest as a pillow. Steve's memory of the previous night is hazy, but intact. He can remember the feeling of Thor bending him over as they reached the bed, the feeling of Thor's cock, longer and thicker than it had been in all of Steve's fantasies, pushing into his ass.

It only takes a moment for Thor to wake up, too. As soon as he does, he smiles at Steve and thanks him for last night. They start kissing again. Then Thor is fondling Steve's nipples. Then they're sucking each other's cocks with abandon.

A couple hours later, Thor is late for an interview.. It's the first time Thor has been late for an appointment since Steve became his assistant. Another hour and multiple calls to Steve's phone, the interview is canceled. Steve and Thor are nowhere to be seen. They haven't even left Thor's bedroom. It turns out that all that pent up sexual tension takes a while to fully let out. By the end of it all, they're both exhausted, aching, and completely sated.

Thor insists that Steve can't be his assistant and his boyfriend at the same time. Steve insists that he can because while he does want to keep traveling with Thor, he doesn't expect to mooch off him just because they've started dating.

The compromise becomes that Steve himself starts acting, with Thor placing a few calls to get people to take him seriously. With some strategic planning, they both manage to get jobs for different movies in Hollywood. Steve has his own agent and assistant now, and Thor has managed to find a new one, too. Both assistants make sure to knock before they enter any room in Thor and Steve's home.

Alternate universe where Steve and Thor are boyfriends, Steve doesn’t go to the past and instead retires to New Asgard while Thor rules as King.

The Nine Realms speak of the great king Thunder, who rules alongside his consort whom they’ve proudly named Evenlight: their most beloved star.

Don’t judge me I love them and there’s barely any content for them. And this is my way of coping with Endg*me

[shieldedbythunder]

You know what I've been thinking about lately? Thor tying Steve to the bed and riding him until Steve begs to come. That's all. That's everything I've been thinking about.

The POWER this image has 🤤🤤🤤

Steve’s shared one or two of his fantasies with Thor before, but it’s still a surprise when he wakes up one lazy Sunday morning to find himself stripped to the skin, an equally naked and devious looking Thor straddling his hips, bidding him good morning while securing his wrists and ankles to the bedposts with a particularly strong type of rope from Asgard. A very pleasant surprise, though, as Steve happily gives himself over to Thor’s ministrations. Thor takes his sweet time preparing Steve and enjoying the view, edging him with his hands and mouth, over and over ‘til the ropes he chose are creaking with how hard Steve’s straining against them, pleading for release all the while. By the time Thor takes pity on him and lowers himself down onto Steve’s cock, panting and moaning as he’s stretched out, they’re both pretty keyed up. 

But still, Thor takes his time; a warrior’s patience has many uses, after all 😉. For what seems like ages, he alternates between riding Steve hard enough for them both to start seeing stars, and slow, torturous grinding that has Steve begging for to come in that soft, needy way of his that thrills Thor to no end, even in his own borderline fucked-out state. But after one too many teases at release, something in Steve finally snaps; in a sudden burst of strength, he breaks the ropes holding his wrists, grabs Thor’s hips, and slams right up into that tight ass, his own cry of relief joined by Thor’s. They keep going like that, frantic and needy while they swallow each other’s cries for more, until they finally topple over the edge and come. It takes them a little while to come back to themselves afterwards, Thor collapsed on top of Steve as they both try to catch their breath. But eventually, Thor finds the energy to clean them both up and check Steve’s limbs for circulation, before Steve drags him back into bed for the rest of the morning, the two of them trading sleepy kisses as they drift off in each other’s arms.

[starstruckmyths]

A really random ThunderShield concept I've had in my head for months is 1930s Brooklyn, Steve and Bucky are wandering around a fair when they see a small crowd standing around something. It's a hammer, and they're trying to lift it. The guys are laughing and rolling their sleeves and trying to pick it up but it's too "heavy".

Bucky tries it too, for fun. They're on a fair, right? And it's free so why not! The thing does not budge an inch. Come on! Bucky calls to Steve with a smile on his face, you try!

Steve doesn't really want to try it, knowing that if Bucky and all these strong guys can't lift it, he most certainly can't. With some pushing of Bucky's sisters he walks up the hammer, stands in line for a moment and then grabs the handle. It feels weird. Like tiny zaps going up his arm and he almost releases the hammer in surprise.

Then, he yanks - and the thing flies up like it's made out of paper.

As Steve and everyone around him gapes at what just happened, a tall man pushes forth through the crowd, dressed in silver armor and a cape, and his long blond hair sways along with his large steps.

"Ah, there it is!" He exclaims, when he sees Steve, "I already wondered where she was!"

[sounds-of-some-day]

okay for that wip tag meme... this is a tough choice because captain's lady has me curious but I can't stop looking at "can you keep a secret"

Thank you so much for the ask!

Also, you are in luck, because I answered the Can You Keep a Secret one here. It was actually one of the first Stony fics I started working on. And I will come back to it. After I finish the biker bar au.

Okay, so, Are You a Captain's Lady or a Tony Girl is totally going to be a bit of a crack fic. It's inspired by a scene in TJ Klune's The Lightning Struck Heart which just screamed Stony to me.

So, basically, this is post Avengers. Tony (harboring a massive crush on Steve) has been secretly attending Captain America fanclub meetings in disguise for months. In fact, he's the fanclub's treasurer.

There he's been feuding with the twenty-something year old president of the fanclub, Brittany, who, is like, the absolute worst, because she ships ThunderShield, and like, what even? IronShield all the way, am I right? Like, how can anyone not see how perfect they would be together.

He bonds with an older member of the club, Marie, she also ships IronShield and says she's also a "Tony Girl".

Anyway, one day, while attending the meeting, who should walk by, but Steve. All the girls in the fanclub are all aflutter when Steve stops in to say hello, being adorably clueless about the whole concept of fanclubs and "Captain's Ladies", which is what they call themselves.

And of course, Tony is absolutely dying, because he's terrified that Steve will recognize him, so he tries to slip out without being noticed, but his nemesis, Brittany, god, she's just the worst, totally calls him out on it and he has to sit back down and try to talk to Steve without Steve figuring out who he really is.

And shenanigans ensue.

3 Prompt Summaries Game

reunions, masks, body worship - suggested by @polizwrites

@polizwrites - Now that Rhodey was full time military, Tony hadn’t seen him  in months.  They  made plans to meet up in Key West  during Fantasy Fest  —  wearing masks (and very little else), they could finally indulge  their own fantasy of being a couple in public.

@psychiccatpanda - Rhodey took the kids trick-or-treating on his own because Tony had been called away on business again.  When they get back, Tony's home and has set the place up for a Halloween party for the kids and their friends. When the kids' friends go home and the lights go down, Rhodey takes his time welcoming his husband home.

@somesortofitalianroast - It was 5 years since Steve Rogers had last seen Bucky Barnes, when Barnes left in the middle of the night after they had sex for the first time, leaving the country the next day for a lucrative job, and Steve heartbroken. It had been several years since Steve had thought of Barnes, though he’d recognize the man anywhere, even behind a domino mask at a masquerade ball. Just seeing Barnes made his blood boil, and he wanted to charge across the ballroom, slap the man silly, and then worship every inch of the man’s body. Too bad he was at the ball with clients and there was no way he could do that without losing a very important contract.

@darthbloodorange - (ShrunkyClunks) - He waits in the shadows of an old warehouse, a mask obscuring his identity. No one could know he was here; not only would his reputation be tarnished, but that of the Avengers as their leader. But there was something about the dark assassin that drew him in. Barnes treated him like no other in this world. Treasured him, possessed him, worshipped him. Not like a hero as the world did, but as a man and lover.

Keep reading for lots more!

cookies, mermaid, dancing - suggested by @somesortofitalianroast

@somesortofitalianroast - Darcy didn’t bake for the Avengers all the time, and she never made her mermaid cookies, since they were complicated and she needed to pay attention to the details when icing them with fancy icing. So it was a big deal when she made them, the sort of thing that made you want to dance in the kitchen.

@gavilansblog - Luca AU where Tony introduces mer-people Steve and Bucky to cookies and dancing

@deehellcat - Morgan's eighth birthday party featured a mermaid theme, cookies with sparkly decorations, and dancing.

@psychiccatpanda - Bucky Barnes never dreamed he'd ever be put in charge of kids.  Who'd want the Winter Soldier for a babysitter?  But this little girl - Tony Stark's little girl - stared up at him, waiting for a reply.

He was pretty sure the last time he'd been this nervous was when he came back to the States after Wakanda.  "Yeah, we can do that.  Sounds like fun."

Which was how he found himself not-quite elbows deep in blue-green frosting for the ocean reef cookies they had baked (that he had baked) while Morgan spun around the kitchen dancing in her mermaid costume.

@lbibliophile-mcu - Tony looks at the tray of raw cookies in dismay. Whoever had designed the mermaid cookie cutter clearly had no concept of the baking skill of the average parent. 

He had managed to press out all the pictures without causing more damage than the occasional lost arm or misshapen head (and a couple of 'defective' cookies are always required for taste-testing straight out of the oven). But the process of transferring the cookies from the bench to the tray had caused the raw dough to stretch and fold and tear; leaving figures better described as some sort of vaguely-humanoid aquatic eldritch horror... 

Impatient, Morgan clambers onto her stool and gasps in delight. "Look, Daddy! The mermaids are dancing!"

@darthbloodorange - (Thundershield) - Thor set out on his boat to the middle of the lake. A smile on his face and a song on his lips. People feared the lake and the creatures that dwelled within. He didn't see why. Peering over the edge of the boat, he watched the mermaids dance. His eyes drawn to one in particular; the blond with the silvery-blue tail. He unwraps the cookies and sets them on the edge of his boat, hoping to draw the merman close again.

picnic, dragon, promises - suggested by @psychiccatpanda

@deehellcat - Steve and Bucky slip away from the village every chance they get to spend time together. Their favorite place to picnic is perilously close to a rumored dragon's lair, but they dare it for its beauty. imagine their surprise when one night as they stargaze and promise forever to each other, a dark shadow flies overhead then lands nearby. It's the legendary dragon, who greets them and offers to witness their solemn vows. (spoiler alert, the dragon is Tony, and I'm not sure what his relationship to them would end up being.)

@psychiccatpanda - Tony hated picnics.  He'd been on so many for photo shoots with his mom and Howard, then for Stark Industries, and the occasional summer charity event.  Picnics sucked.  There was either too much sun or not enough, not to mention bugs, screaming kids, or other couples making out. 

"You promised, Tony," the love of his life reminded him.  "And I got you a surprise." The surprise was a kite in the shape of a dragon. Suddenly, the day was looking better.

@somesortofitalianroast - Steve was walking to a picnic on the beach when he found a baby dragon, abandoned on the side of the road. He picked it up, intending to take it to the local fantasy animal shelter, but as soon as he touched it, he knew he would never be able to let it go. Which is why he was standing on the dunes, murmuring promises to the dragon in his arms.

@rebelmeg -  pepper sighed.  "tony, you promised you were gonna stop doing that." pointedly looking away from her, the red and gold dragon roughly the size of a large dog pointedly opened his mouth, and stuffed the donut hooked on his claw inside.  puffs of smoke emitted from his nostrils and he chuckled in a rough, growly way when a sandwich in a baggie smacked him in the back of the head. 

"we're never going on a picnic when you're shifted again, this is ridiculous."

@darthbloodorange - (Stucky, Fantasy AU) - Steve walks up to the den of the dragon; his once best friend and lover. Baskets of meat in hand, and his heart weighted heavily in his chest. He'd kept his promise for over 70 years, and he wasn't about to break it now. "Bucky, it's me. I know you remember me. You're in there somewhere, I feel it," he says in his elvish tongue. Within the den comes a mighty roar, seeming to shake the very core of the mountain. But Steve is not dissuaded.

bread, defenestration, jingle - suggested by @rebelmeg

@rebelmeg - standing at the window and very calmly eating her sandwich, natasha watched as clint climbed out of the bushes underneath and went streaking for the street, where an ice cream truck was driving past.  the second he'd heard the jingly song, the idiot had flung his own sandwich in the air and literally dove out the window.  wondering if he'd realize he didn't have any money on him, nat smirked.

@psychiccatpanda - (WinterIronHawk implied) To be fair, Clint had not thought about 'costume integrity' or the fact that the Christmas elf pajamas did not count for much in the way of bodily protection.  On the other hand, though, he'd just been planning on eating as much of the freshly baked panettone bread as Bucky let him get away with while they waited for Tony to get home.  Getting thrown through the  window of Tony's Malibu house by some Hydra experiment had not been on his radar at all. (Not Bucky - to be completely clear, he was cute and Clint didn't think mean things about people who baked him a nigh-endless quantity of sweets.)  At least he managed to keep the hat with its little bell that jingled cheerfully as Clint sailed through the air.

@darthbloodorange - Stony (probably a 5+1 fic) - Tony frowns as the familiar jingle of his phone drew him away from kneading his sourdough. He groans when he sees who it was that was calling. He nearly doesn't answer, but Barnes almost never calls, so curiosity gets the better of him. "Stark," the man greets, voice as gruff as ever. "What do you want?" he grumbles. "Arm's acting up again. Accidently threw your husband out a window. He's hanging on about the 26th floor? Thought you should know." "Damn it!" Tony cries, armour assembling around him quickly. He wishes this was the first time Barnes' arm had thrown an Avenger out the window... but it wasn't.

@lbibliophile-mcu - Tony likes bread as much as the next guy, but he is this close to swearing off the stuff entirely. He tenses as Clint moves behind him, his humming looping into yet another round of the jingle for the local bakery. He snaps. "Clint! If I hear another note I swear I will throw you out this window! And not send the suit after you." Clint grins, opens his mouth and... shuts it again. Silent.

Werewolves, Gardening, Hurt/Comfort - suggested by @darthbloodorange​

@somesortofitalianroast - (preserum!steve/werewolf!bucky) When he moved into the house, Steve was looking forward to growing a garden, with a large vegetable patch, all the herbs, and some flowers for the colors. He wasn’t expecting to get overheated. He certainly wasn’t expecting the werewolf to bound out of the woods to take care of him. He’d think he imagined the entire thing, except the werewolf stuck around. Still taking care of him.

@tehroserose - Steve and Tony had retreated into the woods. Obadiah had taken over Tony's birthright, and Hydra had encroached on Steve's home of Brooklyn. They met there, and lived off their wits. Tony did most of the smithing for the various exiles, while Steve gardened vegetables that were rare and valuable. They were content, and while they wished they could save their homelands, there was no real hope of doing so. No hope until one night, when Steve was doing one last check of the garden before going to sleep, he found a big, bleeding wolf.

@rebelmeg - "right here, honey," pepper pointed to a spot in the dirt, and tony padded over, pawing at the spot a few times before starting to dig.  "yep, that's enough." she stopped him when the hole was deep enough, then held out a hand for the flower morgan had cupped in her hands, cradling the ball of roots and dirt with care.  "see, now it's perfect!  you wanna take a ride on daddy now, morgan?  i  think he's getting bored with gardening."

"yeah!"  morgan jumped up with a shout, and scrambled up onto the werewolf's back with no problems.  "go, daddy, go!" with a woof, tony took off at a run, morgan holding tight to his fur as she giggled, and pepper smiled as she watched them.  tony hated going through a transformation during the full moon, the pain of it pretty extreme, but they'd found a lot of ways to make up for it.

@psychiccatpanda - Tony had avoided Barnes since Steve had brought him to the compound.  The werewolf had done the same.  Howard hadn't had anything good to say about weres in general, but everyone knew wolves were the worst.  It was part of the reason that part of the Avengers had been politely asked to leave Wakanda.  Opening the door to his patio, Tony caught the shine of eyes and Barnes scrambled back from what he'd been doing.  Tony scanned the patio and only saw a trowel, some loose dirt, and a flat of plants - wolfsbane. "Doesn't that stuff give you blisters or something?" Tony asked, knowing that it was probably true.  "How about you come in and wash your hands and tell me what you're up to."

@darthbloodorange - (Ults Stony) - After Steve is infected with Lycanthropy, Tony took him to one of his parents' houses out in the country. Everyone expected Steve would get over it, given time, as he did with the vampirism. But the lycanthropy sticks, appearing to have fused with the serum. While SHIELD's scientists look into a cure, Tony stays with Steve. Growing bored of the overly-manicured, emptiness that was the green fields surrounding the country house, Steve takes up gardening as his current mission. Tony watches, completely enthralled, as Steve slowly transforms the area around the house.

letter, basket, book - suggested by @rebelmeg

@jamesbuckystark - Someone left a basket on Tony's doorstep containing a book, a map, and a magnifying glass. Inside the book was a letter dated 1942. He's curious to find out what this means

@tehroserose - Morgan put down the letter. It was the last one. Her father had written her one for every birthday and potential special occasion. This one was for when she became a mother. She couldn't have them hidden away, they were on a basket on her dresser in her room, but that didn't make them any less bittersweet. He left her behind. To save the world, but he had left her. 

 She went to sit in the rocking chair next to her child's crib and began to read the children's story her mother had allowed all those years ago. "Iron Man and the End of Thanos". Any children she had would know their grandfather.

@somesortofitalianroast - When Bucky decided to become a librarian, he thought it would give him access to all the books all the time, in exchange for maybe some shelving. He didn’t realize how much work went into collections development and management, nor how much time was spent looking books up for patrons on their own system when asked if the library had a particular book. Boring and frustrating. He just had to stick it out until he paid off the worst of his student loans. Until the day the letter arrived on his desk, sitting next to a gift basket from a local fancy food store. A letter letting him know that the gift basket was from his secret admirer.

@jacarandabanyan - After waking from the ice, Steve took to reading voraciously to catch up on what he'd missed. Despite Tony's offers, he never did come around to a screen reader, though, and instead opted to keep a pile of books on his bedside table. When the pile of books got too big, he had a whicker basket to put the overflow in. 

 Tony feels like the two of them can't have a conversation outside the heat of battle without devolving into arguments and personal attacks, so he takes to slipping notes into Steve's books. Over time, the notes get longer and longer, until it would be more proper to call them letters than notes.

@rebelmeg - tiny!tony is digging through a basket of new books the jarvises got him, a mix of kids books and textbooks and novels.  as he digs, one of the books falls open, and out falls an envelope.  the letter inside seems to be written in code... but he's also pretty sure that's his mama's handwriting.  a grin spreading across his face, he sits down next to the basket and starts working out the code.

@darthbloodorange - (Stucky? Witch/Fantasy AU?) - Steve sits in his chair by the window and opens his favourite book. With careful hands, he pulls out the letter from his mother, which he'd been using as a bookmark, and carries on where he'd left off. Library, his familiar, jumps from her basket into his lap and curls up, butting her head against his hands. Despite the warmth and happiness he felt here, it wasn't complete. A part will always be missing until Bucky returns.

@psychiccatpanda - Whoever had suggested they stay at this rickety, 'quaint' seaside hotel had apparently never seen any island murder movies ever, Tony thought with disgust.  The wood floors creaked and the building made weird noises at night.  Combined with the crashing waves, it was not what Tony called relaxing.  Somebody knocked and Tony assumed it was the room service snack he'd ordered.  Instead, he found a basket with a book tucked inside.  Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.

"That's not ominous," Tony muttered to himself, flipping through the pages. Then he saw the letter tucked inside.

Thundershield Concept

Credit to @cinderellasfella, who came up with this idea. 

Post Thor Ragnarok, but where most of Asgard is saved and Thanos doesn’t exist to kill everyone. 

Thor establishes New Asgard on Earth. It’s as much a business as it is a country. New Asgard does require funding, after all, and no one wants to live on the charity of Midgard. Thor manages to establish a successful business on the planet that thrives internationally. As King, New Asgard insists that he have the housing to reflect his status on the world stage. 

Thor, being the generous god that he is, allows his staff to access the large pool on the estate if they’re hot and need to cool down after their shifts. There’s one particular staff member who attracts Thor’s attention. 

Steve Rogers is hired as a gardener fairly early on. He’s a bit of a different sort of employee for one reason: he often works naked due to the heat of the sun and his outdoor work. Thor’s large estate keeps him busy, and Thor often likes to admire Steve’s form. The thought of having him put on clothes never even crosses his mind. Why would he want to hide such a man from the world? 

But there’s one more reason why he doesn’t do this. Steve always takes a dip in the pool after his shifts. He swims lengths with deliberate slowness. When he’s done, he lays out on his back to just float on the water. Thor always sees him and Steve often runs his hands up and down his sculpted body in an attempt to lure Thor to him. 

One day, it works. It doesn’t take long. The third time Thor caught him doing this, he knew that this gardener was surely doing this on purpose. Thor was never one to deny himself something he wants, though, so he goes down to the pool and strips out of his Midgardian suit. As soon as Steve sees Thor’s long, impressive member, his hole is clenching and his mouth dries. The end of Steve’s day turns into a long night for him as Thor fucks him on every surface he can find in his luxurious estate. It doesn’t matter if it’s inside or out, and Thor doesn’t care who sees. 

Thus begins a new facet of New Asgard: Thor’s personal nudist community, completely devoted to worshiping him as the god of fertility, not just thunder, as the rest of the world knows him.  The Asgardians don’t join, since they don’t need to worship each other as the gods they are. Midgardians, though, join the community in droves. At first, Thor invites certain like minded friends to join in his revels with Steve. It soon grows into a cult. People from all over the world travel to have a taste of Thor’s cock. 

Everyone at the estate goes naked, including Thor. Steve is his main sexual/romantic partner, but their relationship is open due to the nature of the community they lead. He often has business meetings that he attends shirtless while Steve sucks him and edges him beneath the desk. He’s managed to get a few delivery men to join by showing up naked to receive packages containing instruments to include in the community’s revels. 

Someone is always having sex at the estate. The community is encouraged to love each other as much as they love Thor. The only exception is Steve, with whom Thor shows a particular possessiveness by fucking him in front of everyone on a regular basis, leaving him covered in markings. Steve is the only one to sit near Thor’s throne, a collar around his neck and a ring around his cock, ready to receive Thor whenever called upon. 

There’s one unexpected side effect of Thor’s sex cult being so devoted to him. Thor’s nature as a god of fertility is much less well known on Midgard, so it comes as a surprise to all, including Thor himself, when Steve suddenly discovers that he’s pregnant. The seed that Thor filled Steve’s ass with caused a womb to grow within him. The same turns out to be true for all the men in Thor’s cult. 

These men become known as the Broodmares of New Asgard and Steve is their queen. Steve does, eventually become the first queen of New Asgard and the official caretaker of the tree of the golden apples. He becomes known as a modern sort of god. Once there was the goddess, Idunn, goddess of youth. Steve is the new god of youth, and inherits the care of her golden apples that grant long life. The garden he plants surrounding this tree is called New Eden by many. 

Their children, it turns out, are fully Asgardian due to Asgardian genes being dominant and Midgardian genes being recessive. It shakes up the scientific community on earth. Not that Thor pays much attention to any of that. He’s perfectly content with his personal harem at his beck and call. But he always has a certain fondness for his godly husband who started it all as a humble, but incredibly beautiful gardener.

Not to be horny on main, but just thinking about how sweet and charming Prince Thor would be for Steve, a prince from a neighboring kingdom. High romance all the way. Poetry, flowers, eloquent declarations of love, slow dancing while gazing into Steve's eyes, beautiful yet simple gifts, long nights under the stars, gentle yet passionate kissing, hand kissing, forehead kissing, and long promenade by lakes, beaches, forests, and mountains.

And of course there's the training for combat. Long, grueling hours of grunting and sweat and exertion. Strategy sessions where Thor marvels at Steve's tactical brilliance. Field exercises where Steve picks apart even the smallest flaws. Practicing and maintaining many different kinds of weapons to ensure they're both ready for whatever they have to work with.

Then there's the diplomacy. Navigating the various courts of their neighboring kingdoms. Thor tends to do the talking, as he knows Steve is much less in his element here. He only ever dances with Steve, though, no matter who asks him for the favor. At the dinners, Thor always sits with his prince, often holding Steve's hand under the table to reassure him. Somehow, Steve manages to get through the nights with Thor's help.

Thor treats Steve not just like a lover, but as a fellow warrior and prince. Steve has never met anyone who could so readily accept all those things about him. As a warrior, many never expect him to want to be wooed. As a prince, most tend to intimidated or afraid to be honest. As a lover, few have ever been willing to make the first move, to express interest in him as a person rather than because of his status or wealth.

It's no wonder that he falls in love.

High school au with loud extrovert theater kid thor and shy artist kid steve bc the contrast tbh

Thor as a theater kid is the most wonderfully appropriate thing ever! He would also be a fairly athletic guy, but he's not on any sports teams because he's a more interested in acting. Steve is a tiny artist who's something of a misfit because he doesn't really fit in with any of the cliques at the school.

Thor, though, is one of his best friends as soon as they meet. Actually, it was more like Steve was corralled into Thor's group of friends. Steve, as an artist, and a fairly talented one even in high school, becomes someone who helps make the sets for the school's plays. Before long, he and Thor are inseparable.

His favorite show is definitely the musical the school does in their junior year. It was Les Miserables and Thor played Jean Valjean. He did a fantastic job at it, too. It was during this show that Steve realized that he totally had a crush on Thor. He didn't confess until after it was over though. He was actually shocked he had the courage.

Thor, of course, confesses that he also has feelings for Steve. They start going out together. Their first kiss is during a cheesy rom-com that neither of them remember much of, as their second, third, and many other subsequent kisses are soon to follow.

They attend both junior and senior prom together. Both their sets of parents have their prom pictures in scrapbooks. They're still together at graduation and they even start attending the same college together. Thor majors in theater, of course, and Steve double majors in set design and architecture. They support each other every step of the way.

They fight, of course. The biggest fight is over Brock Rumlow, a business student that Thor figured had a thing for Steve. The issue was resolved when Brock attempted to persuade Steve to dump Thor for him, which earned him a swift, sharp kick between the legs, followed by a punch to the face. It sent Brock sprawling on the ground and he gave up on Steve on account that he couldn't bear to admit that a scrawny guy half his size managed to one up him.

During graduation, Thor meets Steve beside their favorite fountain on campus to propose. Steve shocks them and their attended family by proposing himself. Their families cheer as they kiss each other with tears in their eyes.

The wedding is a year later. Thor has managed to find work in a TV show about monsters in a high school. He's a vampire, and there's a girl who's his love interest. Steve doesn't mind. They've been together for years and there's no need to be jealous. They love each other. Steve has managed to find a job starting out at an architecture firm. It's civil engineering, but he also helps out a local theater on the side.

It's a big wedding. Their friends from college are in attendance. The dancing and partying at the reception is the sort that only happens when theater students gather in large numbers, though scaled back a little due to the presence of family.

Their month long honeymoon to Italy is paid in full by Thor's family. Thor and Steve lounge on soft beaches, wine and dine in fancy restaurants, go swimming and diving in the sea, visit art museums, and make love nearly every night. When they return home, Thor carries Steve over the threshold.

And they live happily ever after.

Thundershield concept: moderno au, no powers, the odinson siblings (including hela) are the heirs of a big mafia legacy. Steve is an FBI agent who is demanteling a drug case that's been going on for a long time but they never have enough proof of the one's behind that; after a stressful week he goes to a bar with his companions to relax, there he meets a broad, big, blond, attractive guy who ends up being the owner of the bar and invites him a drink. (1)

It ends up being a great night for Steve who goes home with a new phone number and a date promise. Later on, new tracks start guiding to the odinson which ensues on angst, indecision, and broken hearts (or does it?). (2)

Oh god, I can only imagine how this plays out! Thor is a perfect gentleman with Steve when they meet. I mean, obviously he wouldn't just mention that he ran a mafia organization. He's been in the business a long time and he's not the sort to let a pretty face make him stupid. But it's obvious from the start that Steve feels burnt out with his job and I imagine Thor offers him a way to escape it.

It's a night of amazing, intense sex. Sometimes Thor fucks like a beast and other times he was gentle and affectionate. Steve loved every minute of it. Maybe it's irresponsible for him to be so taken in by a guy he just met while he's working a case, but dammit, he's been working this case for months and he's made little progress. He knew when he was assigned the case that it was a punishment. The higher ups didn't like how outspoken he was.

He starts to find himself distracted by his new paramour and the date they have planned. He's pretty sure Thor owns more than just the bar when Thor takes him out to a classy restaurant with balcony seating and no prices to be seen anywhere on the menu. It's far and away the fanciest place Steve has been to, but Thor doesn't seem too concerned. He spends the evening wining and dining Steve, all charm and grace and confidence. Steve finds himself opening up more and more. Not details, but just the general dissatisfaction he has with his job. Thor is sympathetic and attentive to Steve's concerns. Steve really feels like Thor understands what he's going through.

The dates and sex with Thor become regular occurrences as Steve continues to work what seems to be a dead end case. It takes another two months before they finally have a new lead that seems promising. The more they pursue it, the more promising it seems. Steve feels relieved, but also sad. Solving the case means that he'll have to return to DC. Maybe that won't mean anything to someone with as much money as Thor, but Steve still wants to be with him. Part of him is thinking of resigning and moving back to New York City so he can be closer to Thor. The FBI was a good opportunity when it started, but it was increasingly clear that his job was going nowhere.

They bust a storehouse. It ends up containing dozens of pounds of drugs and other illegal material. The owners are taken in to the station and slapped with charges. Steve makes his final report to his higher ups, after which he resigns from the FBI. They accept without much argument, confirming what Steve thought. They were probably glad to be rid of him.

Later that evening, he gets a text from Thor to meet him at the bar where they met. Steve leaves immediately. He finds Thor at a table near the back of the bar with a bottle of whiskey and a pair of glasses. He smiles and makes a beeline to Thor, who kisses him.

The evening is odd, though Thor is the same as he always is. Finally, when Steve tells him about how he solved the case, Thor speaks.

"I understand you'll be looking for work soon," he says. Steve takes a sip of whiskey.

"How did you know that?" Steve asks.

"I have my ways," Thor says. "I told you, I know everything that happens in this city."

Steve nods. "I don't suppose you know someone who's hiring then?"

"As a matter of fact, I find myself in need of someone with your... talents," Thor says. "Someone who can take care of problems efficiently."

"Sounds a bit unsavory," Steve said.

"Business is business, my love," Thor said. "Sometimes it is unpleasant, but almost all business is unpleasant at some point."

"You're dancing around the question," Steve said. "What do you want from me?"

"I want you to be mine," Thor says darkly. "I can offer you the life you deserve to have. Wealth, comfort, employment if you want it. All you have to do is take my name for your own and leave your former life behind."

"And what is your name?" Steve asked. "Is Thor really your name?"

"Of course. My name is Thor Odinson," Thor says. It all clicks into place then. The extravagant home, the fancy dinners, the mysterious background. Thor is the notorious head of the Russian mafia, one of three siblings. Three heirs, each as dangerous as the next. This man probably oversaw massive criminal activity. If Steve left and turned him over to the FBI, he would probably be famous. His career prospects would improve exponentially.

But.

He didn't seem to care. Once he might have been horrified to know that he slept with such a man, let alone had feelings, or even love for him. Now... to accept his offer, to become an Odinson, and work with such a man in whatever nefarious business dealings he had... he would surely never be able to return. Then again, he had already left his job. Would he even want to go back? He had done unscrupulous things for the FBI. At least Thor was honest about doing unscrupulous things. Much of it would even be similar.

"I accept," Steve says. "I'll be yours."

Thor smiles broadly and holds up his glass. "To us, my love, and to an exciting and profitable future."

Ancient Greek AU: the gods decide to make sickly, lonely artist Steve fall in love with a statue he's been commissioned to create. As his work progresses, Steve names his marble adonis Thor and talks with him as though he were real, wishing he would answer him and return his touches. Finally, the statue is completed, and Steve is left heartbroken knowing he'll have to part with Thor. The night before the statue is to be collected, Steve gives in to his desires, blushing as he bares his scrawny body before this godly nude form before stepping into its arms. Just as he stretches up for a kiss, the gods breathe life into the statue, cold marble turning to warm flesh and muscle beneath Steve's fingers. All he can do is gape in wonder as Thor's arms tighten around him to pull him closer, murmuring his love for his little artist between kisses filled with hunger and promise.

I loved this story as a kid!

First of all, we all know that Steve would absolutely be a great sculptor. He's an artist, after all, and so long as he can find someone to transport the rock, he can take care of the rest. Secondly, the statue is probably made of marble. What else would Thor be sculpted from? Thirdly, I imagine that because he's sickly and weak, Steve is probably a bit ostracized from his community even if his art is amazing.

I imagine that this commission is for a local official or something, who simply wants a fancy statue to decorate his home. Steve is the finest sculptor in Greece and receives a great deal of money for the work he creates. Still, that doesn't make him any less lonely.

This particular commission is for a beautiful warrior. Steve spends a while sketching his ideas before he finally settles on something. Once he starts chiselling away at the marble, however, he loses himself in the process.

Slowly but surely, the figure in his mind takes on form in the stone. A handsome face with laugh lines, a strong jaw, gentle eyes, and a short beard emerges. Broad shoulders and strong arms lead to thick fingers with veins and calluses. A barrel chest leads to a rippling stomach and a broad back leads to a tight, firm ass. The cock is large, even while flacid and muscled thighs lead down to strong calves.

The statue takes on a relaxed posture with only a helmet held against his hip and a spear propped against his shoulder. Steve also adds a crown of laurels in his hair, a champion blessed by the gods, as though this man had just completed the Olympic games and emerged triumphant.

When it's done, Steve despairs. The man, Thor, as Steve has decided to name him, is beautiful. He is by far Steve's finest work. The stone could almost look soft, the muscles as though the statue could move at once if he so chose. He was the kind of man Steve longed for, but could never find. What company he could find among men was usually only for an hour in the evening. There were no tender moments, no warmth or gentleness.

That night, he journeys to the local temple and prays to the gods. The prayer is the same as it always is. He prays for love and companionship, that his lonely life could be filled with joy and happiness.

He returns home alone again. The statue is still a statue. He sighs with resignation and does something he's never done before. He steps up to the statue, against it, as though it were a lover. He stands up on his toes and brushes a kiss against its lips. His lips meet cold stone, but as he lingers, they slowly warm. At first he doesn't notice, but when he opens his eyes, the statue has become a real man. He gazes down at Steve with warm, gentle blue eyes. Thor takes Steve in his arms and kisses him again. Steve gasps with shock.

"Is this a dream?" Steve asks.

"No, Steve," Thor says. "The goddess Aphrodite heard your plea and gave me life. I am Thor, son of Aphrodite and Zeus, god of thunder, beauty, and fertility."

Steve blinks. "You're a god?"

"Indeed. Morpheus put my likeness in your dreams and you recreated it perfectly."

"And... What do you want with me?" Steve asks.

"I have but one desire for you," Thor murmurs. "I wish for you to be my husband for all eternity. I love you, as surely as you fell in love with me as you crafted this body. Your beauty, fierce heart, and gentle soul captured my heart as soon as I saw you."

"I will," Steve says with a broad smile. He kisses Thor again. "Thank you, I will. I love you... Thor."

Steve goes to bed the happiest man on earth. He doesn't actually fall asleep until just before dawn, but he can't bring himself to care.

Thundershield Concept

Steve is a junior mage at the Brooklyn Tower of Magi, a prestigious school of magic that Steve us lucky to be able to attend at all. It's a fact he's reminded of fairly frequently. His family is poor. Was poor. His mother is dead and his father died before he was born. Technically, he's an orphan now. The only reason he's even there is because his best friend, Bucky, comes from a family with wealth and connections. They pulled strings so Steve could get the magical education he needed.

But now, Steve needs to find a way to look out for himself. He can't hide behind his friend's family forever and he hates doing it anyway. He's a mage. He can find a way.

However, his frail body makes it difficult to withstand the rigors of advanced magic. Every request he's made to learn more has been denied. Every mage in the Tower, and in most other Towers in the country, all say he's reached his limit. Steve refuses to take no for an answer. He knows can become stronger, rise higher, if only he had the chance.

One night, Steve draws the necessary wards for his plans. He channels all of his strength into a spell. By the end, he's utterly exhausted, but he's succeeded. In the middle of the room, standing tall and strong and proud, is a demon.

It has been many centuries since Thor was summoned by a human mage, let alone with such urgency. It had been a decent summoning, but Thor had resisted far stronger summons. It was one of the perks of being a Prince of the Demon Realm. Many were eager for his help, but so few actually piqued his interest.

This one, however... His summoning was dripping with need, with desperation. It had seized him and refused to let go, though Thor could have shrugged it off. In the end, he had relented out of curiosity and his curiosity only grew as he saw the mage.

Standing before him was a human hardly more than a boy of 18. He was scrawny, his face dripping with sweat and exertion. His too large robes made him seem smaller than he actually was. Most striking, however, was the fierce look of determination. That was unusual. Demonology was a difficult field of study for human mages and most seemed to think that summoning a demon, binding a demon, and forming a contract with one were all the same. This mistake was usually rectified when the offending mage was killed. This one, though, seemed guarded, like he knew what he was doing.

How curious, Thor thought.

"Why have you summoned me, human?" Thor asked.

"I have called you in humility and in need, for a goal I have not the power to attain," the human replied. "I am prepared to offer whatever is necessary, in accordance with the ancient customs."

Thor raised his eyebrows. So he did know the formalities. That was refreshing.

"I have answered your summons, mortal," Thor replied. "Should your request be within my power and should I consent to aid you, I will exact the payment from you and grant your desire."

"Teach me," the human said. Thor blinked.

"What?"

"I want to form a contract with you," the human said. "I want you to teach me how to use the magic of the Demon Realm."

"Why would a human wish to know this magic?" Thor asked. "Surely there are mages here who could teach you human magic."

"They have decided that there is no point in teaching me more," the human said. "But I know I can learn more if I have the chance."

"Why? Why not be content with what you know?" Thor asked.

"Because I can't," the human replied fervently. "I can't live always dependent on others, always relying on someone else to bail me out. I will repay my debts by becoming stronger and proving that the help I received was worth more than a few parlor tricks."

Thor studied the human. He had an undeniable thirst for power, it was true. That thirst hadn't twisted him, though. It hadn't morphed into gluttony or greed, envy or arrogance. Whatever his motive was for seeking power, it was pure. That was the most fascinating thing.

"If I teach you," Thor said. "You must vow to obey me. You will be my apprentice. Should I tell you to offer blood sacrifice, you must do so. Should I tell you to use all your power in a spell, you will obey."

"I will," Steve said.

"You say that now," Thor said. "Will you say the same if I ask you to share my bed? To worship me? To submit to rituals of my devising? This is not an easy path to walk and once you start, you cannot stop."

The human hesitated. Good. He was not a fool, then. That would be good if he did agree. Part of Thor wanted him to agree, just to see what it would be like to teach a human.

"If you agree, cross the threshold into this circle and hold out your hand," Thor said.

The mage considered for a long moment. Finally, he stepped across the edge of the summoning circle and stood in front of Thor. He held his hand out. Thor reached down with a clawed finger and sunk it into the center of the mage's wrist. The soft flesh gave way easily. The mage winced, but otherwise made no sound. Thor brought the wrist to his mouth and drank. Technically, he only needed a little blood, but it had been a long time since had enjoyed the taste of human blood. He savored it. At last, when he let go, the mage looked a bit woozy. Thor made a shallow cut in his own wrist.

"Drink," he commanded. "To learn demonic magic, you must be bound to your Master with blood, as I am bound to you, my apprentice."

The mage seemed doubtful. Technically, if all be wanted was Thor's power, he could leave the circle. Thor would be bound to him still and the ritual, half complete, would have no effect on the mage. He could have the power he sought at a much lower price. Thor could see the mage (Steve, the blood told him), weighing the option. Thor was almost surprised, then, when Steve lifted Thor's wrist to his mouth and drank. He grimaced at first, but the face soon turned to rapture. It was a hazard of the bond. Demon blood was as addicting for humans as human blood was for demons.

Thor felt the bond between their minds form and cement. He could feel Steve's human mind and his soul on the other end like a soft orb of amber light. He couldn't read Steve's thoughts, but he could tell what he was feeling.

"It is done," Thor said. "We are bound now, for all eternity. We will begin immediately. I will teach you all I know."

AU where Thor's a powerful mob boss who gets Steve as a surprise stripper at his birthday celebrations instead of a female dancer due to some poor communication. At first his underlings are terrified the boss will kill them for the mixup, but Thor finds himself enjoying the performance and starts hiring Steve more and more often when he needs to destress. Over time, they find themselves more drawn to each other, Steve's dances becoming more erotic until one night, he finishes straddled in Thor's lap in nothing but skimpy shorts, their lips inches apart as they both feel themselves failing to resist temptation.

Anon, you are simply a gift! I love mob AUs, but I've never seen one for thundershield and I love it! I love big, powerful Thor and small, seductive Steve. I would write this if I had the energy.

I'm really in the mood for a thundershield college AU. Steve is an art professor. He's a little shy, a little eccentric, but undeniably passionate about his art and his work. He never criticizes what his students make unless it's clear that they didn't even try. He prefers to help them make it better. He gets into passionate conversations with his friend, Dr. Carter, a law professor. His best friend is Dr. Barnes, who teaches mechanical engineering and constantly complains about how he always gets slotted to teach phyics classes at 8 am. It's a good life. He makes enough money to live comfortably in Brooklyn. He knows a lot of people who have less privileged lives.

Enter one Thor Odinson, the newest addition to the history department. He's tall, built like a brick wall, with sun-tanned skin and long blond hair meticulously groomed to fall past his shoulders.

Thor quickly makes a name for himself as the most popular professor in the history department. It's not just because of his looks, though Steve is willing to bet that they don't hurt (Peggy and Bucky have caught him staring and teased him about it often enough). It's because he also happens to reenact important scenes from the wars that take place during history he teaches. He has replicas of ancient weapons (kept dull) and armor (kept shiny) that he brings to class sometimes.

He's totally out of Steve's league. He's used to that. It seems that every person he's ever had a crush on (he knows what this is) has been wildly out of his league.

So imagine his shock when one Tuesday, the day he gets lunch with Peggy and Bucky every week, there's the tall, handsome history professor in their usual meeting place instead of his friends. A tall, handsome history professor... who cheerfully waves him over.

Steve has a feeling he's been set up.

Thundershield Soulmate/Soulmark AU concept

Thor didn't have a Soulmark when he was born. This, in and of itself, wasn't unusual. Many people didn't have them when they were born. Soulmates could take years, decades, centuries even, to be born. Thor goes about his business as a child. He plays with Loki and makes mischief and he teases Sif and plays with those would one day become the Warriors Three.

And yet, a Soulmark never appears on his body. Every now and then he checks as thoroughly as he can. Everyone he knows has one, even Loki. His mother tells him not to worry, but as his thousandth birthday nears and no mark appears on his skin, he begins to wonder if he is one of the few who doesn't have a soulmate. They do exist. They're the people others whispered about and pitied, wondering how such a thing could have happened.

One day, Thor visits his mother in secret and tearfully begs her to see if his soulmate was dead or if he truly didn't have one. Freya relents and peers into his future (not too much, just enough to answer his question). When she is done, she merely tells him that he does, indeed have one.

More centuries pass, however, and no mark appears on Thor's body. Thor has been to many weddings by now and seen lovesick soulmates smiling like idiots. He's learned to hide his broodiness and jealousy, though behind a bright, diplomatic smile.

Then, suddenly, when Thor was 1400, he was inspecting his body, as he so often did. So many years, and yet at times, he was still spurred onward by curiosity and hope. He truly didn't expect to see the telltale small, circular mark on his wrist. Thor had to blink several times to convince himself he wasn't dreaming. Sure enough, it was there. It didn't change anything, really, but Thor was still over the moon.

That day began the sympathy feelings. It was said that the stronger the bond was between two soulmates, the stronger the shared physical symptoms would be. At first, it was just basic stuff, hunger, stress, sadness, happiness and such. But then, Thor began to have trouble breathing. It was brought on suddenly and Freya concluded that Thor's soulmate must have either ran a marathon at an incredibly young age, or that they were very sick.

That winter, Thor felt feverish more often than he could ever remember. There were times when he felt he couldn't hear and sometimes his vision blurred. He could feel his heart beat strangely at times, even though there was nothing wrong.

This began to occur every winter, to the point where, for the first time in his life, Thor was occasionally bed ridden. Freya declared that Thor's soulmate must very sickly indeed.

As soon as he was better, Thor departed from Asgard, determined to find his soulmate and bring them back to be cared for. He had waited centuries for them, he wasn't about to let them die now.

He searched every realm he could think of for 10 years, with no avail. 16 years after the Soulmark appeared, Thor was gripped with a horrible sorrow. In silence, he sat in a strange corner of another world and tried, as best he could, to send comfort and support through the bond. His soulmate mourned for a long time, but eventually he was okay.

20 years after the Soulmark appeared, Thor began to feel winded again. For some reason, he felt like his soulmate was training. He felt a twinge of pride at that, even as he was also concerned. His soulmate was weak, after all, but if he was training to become stronger, then that was something to be proud of. It culminated in a moment of blinding, horrible pain that sent Thor to his knees. When it was over, though, he could feel his soulmate breathe properly, could feel the weakness leave his body, could feel his vision adjust and his hearing return. Thor was ecstatic and prayed that whoever had helped his soulmate would one day be welcomed to paradise.

Then, 5 years after that, Thor felt a terrible chill. The cold overtook him. He had been able to tell his soulmate was in a war, he recognized the feelings well enough. But this cold... it was altogether different. All emotion, all feeling disappeared until just the cold remained. The first day, Thor merely hoped that his soulmate was okay. The third, he began to grow worried. The 5th, he returned at last to Asgard and begged his mother to see what had happened to his soulmate.

All she could see was darkness and cold. She knew Thor's soulmate wasn't dead, but she couldn't say any more than that.

Thor continued to search for five more years before he returned home for good. The cold never left him. The fires in the palace burned hot every day of the year. His room was filled with thick blankets and furs. Thor began to dress for the harshest winter even during the summer.

After 20 years of this constant chill, Thor determined that even if his soulmate wasn't dead, that they were truly lost. The pain of that realization hurt even more than the centuries of having no mark at all.

The years rolled by. Thor was banished to Midgard briefly. He lost Mjolnir before he proved himself worthy once more and destroyed the bifrost in his battle with Loki. It was as he was mourning Loki that he suddenly felt the familiar chill dissipate. He trained for three days at the injustice of his mate returning when his ability to search for them had been lost.

He found Loki first. Through the magic of his mother, father, and Heimdall, they were able to send him back to Midgard to retrieve Loki. He found his brother, as he expected. He did not expect for his brother to be protected by a flying man in a metal suit.

It wasn't until, the shield hit him while he was fighting this new foe that he realized his Soulmark was pulsing. He looked up at the newcomer, a strong man whose voice rang out with pride and righteousness. When Mjolnir made contact with the shield the man carried, it was like the ring echoed through his whole soul. When the dust settled, Thor stared at the man, the soldier, a mix of disbelief and relief and awe whirling around inside him... or maybe it was both of them. He couldn't tell.

"It's you," he says, stepping towards the soldier. The soldier swallows and nods.

"You... Who are you?" he asks.

Thor lays his hands on the soldier's face. The minute his fingers touch the soldier's skin, his whole body thrums and sings at the feeling. He smiles and weeps openly as he lays his forehead against his soulmate's.

"I am yours... I am Thor," Thor says.

"I thought... I lost everything," the soldier says.

"I thought I lost you, too," Thor replies.

"I'm... God I'm so sorry," the soldier replies. "I said it, before, but... I'm sorry."

"Don't worry yourself. You are here now, that's what matters," Thor says.

The soldier takes a deep breath. "I'm Steve. Captain Steve Rogers."

Thor feels the name sear itself onto his soul as he presses his lips to Steve's for the first time. After so many centuries, it feels just as good as everyone said it would.
