Steve/Tony RomCom AU: Line of Fire

Steve Rogers dedicates his life to his work. He saves lives, puts out fires, and sometimes even helps kittens out of trees. When he pulls Tony Stark out of a burning building and the man claims he has nowhere else to go, Steve figures there’s no harm in opening up his home to the strange but charming man while he sorts out his life. But Tony Stark might be hiding a few secrets that can turn Steve’s world upside down. He thought he was opening up his home, he didn’t realize he would be opening up his life and his heart, putting himself directly in… the line of fire.

Okay, but the funny part here (aside from Lilian), is that Cap does this ALL THE TIME in the comics. Like, this exchange. Even in the little bit I read, I saw it two or three times:

Villain: You won’t do the thing, you’re Captain America.

Cap: Nope. *indicates less morally upright companion* They will.

Which kind of suggests that Cap is less about moral uprightness and more about plausible deniability. 😉

He’s still just a paladin in a mixed-alignment party. “I can’t kill that orc, because it’s unarmed, and I’m a paladin of justice. My ranger buddy, however, can totally do that. So go ahead, ranger buddy.”

Let me tell you about a thing.

That look on Bucky’s face. That is the look of a man who’s barely keeping it together because the love of his life got hurt again. That look is where he really, really wants to throw tiny bitty Steve over his shoulder and carry him off where he can be safe and sound and nobody can hurt him.

But he can’t do that. He won’t do that. Because while he can protect Steve, he can’t make Steve feel like he’s less than what he is. He won’t step on Steve’s dignity like that, because it’s more than just stupid pride. It’s everything to do with respecting Steve and the strength in him that is a lot more than the physical.

So he’ll walk in when Steve’s out of his depth and cover with a smart ass comment that will keep Steve from feeling worse than he already does. They’ll banter and snark while Bucky covertly makes sure Steve isn’t hurt worse than he appears.

But then there’s that look and he isn’t as good at hiding as he thinks he is and Steve will remember that. One day, Steve will figure it out, because he’ll recognize that same expression in himself. And maybe they won’t have to cover things up so much with snark and wiseass commentary.

Maybe Steve will just lean over, press his lips against Bucky’s temple and say, “Love you, jerk.”

Maybe Bucky will turn his head, press a kiss back to the corner of Steve’s mouth and answer, “Right back ‘atcha, punk.”

i know Bucky is super loyal and all, but do ever wonder if he just silently bitches? Bitching Bucky? is that a thing? 

Bucky would walk through fire for Steve.

But part of his brain has been constantly going “ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, STEVE?” more or less since he and Steve were toddlers.

*SOB* Why aren’t there more stories where Peggy somehow POOF COMICS LOGIC makes it to the future with Steve!? I think I’ve seen one. ONE.

And she’d be there for him (along with Sam) when Winter Soldier Bucky shows up, too.

Come on, it’s not that hard to make up science stuff! Stan Lee did it all the time! All you have to do is like “Howard Stark did sciencey stuff, the end.”

And she could be friends with Natasha and Maria Hill and the other badass ladies of the MCU.

I mean, come on, we all know – and Steve knows – that she could take him, serum or no serum. (It’s one of the things he finds so attractive about Peggy.)

I demand fic. I demand it NOW.

If that fic wasn’t if this is home by Siria, then you need to read that ASAP. It’s my definitive Steve/Peggy.
