    Summary

    When Steve returns to his Brooklyn apartment as suddenly as he’d disappeared from it, all he can do is stare and blink into the middle distance for a while, his lips still tingling with the warm buzz of kissing Bucky Barnes, heat in his cheeks still blazing.

    I was just in another timeline, Steve thinks to himself, as his knees give out and he sits with a plop on his bed. Or another universe? He’s still not entirely sure what the appropriate terminology is. Or maybe he hadn’t actually visited another timeline/universe and he hadn’t seen a bunch of alternate versions of himself, all of them significantly more swole than he is, even the lady version. Maybe it had all just been a really vivid dream. Or maybe he’s had a psychotic break. Maybe there’s a gas leak in the apartment. That happens, right?

    Or maybe he really did meet the possible love of his life in another universe. Now it's time for Steve to find him in this one.

    [This is a side story to if I'm gonna get back to you someday, following the modern AU, non-serum version of Steve from the clusterfuck of Steves. It might not make much sense without having read that one first.]

    Summary

    “What’s the plural for a group of Steves?” asks Natasha, and it’s weirdly comforting that the question has a hint of whimsical hysteria to it. Good, Bucky’s not the only one who’s not dealing well with all of this.

    “A clusterfuck,” he says. “A clusterfuck of Steves.”

    Despite how little sense his life has made since he got on a battlefield to fight a bunch of aliens, Bucky's pretty sure he knows exactly what's happened when a much older Steve appears after the mission to return the Infinity Stones: he left Bucky behind to get his much deserved happily ever after in the past. Only then another Steve shows up, and another. And Bucky realizes he still hasn't got any idea what's going on.

    What he does have is a whole lot of Steves, a fraught relationship with his own Steve, and tentative plans to leave. But the more Bucky talks to all these different versions of Steve, the more he begins to wonder if leaving really is what's best for him and his Steve, or if there's a way to make something new out of their long friendship.

    Summary

    “No, Buck,” Steve hisses sharply. “If the next word out of your mouth suggests that we leave you behind, absolutely not.”
    “One meter.” Sam says over the comlink. “They’re closing in near you. Steve, if you have some magic anime power, I suggest you pull it out of your ass right now.”
    Bucky scowls. All he can see are black suits, the imaginary spots in his peripherals that feel like guns being pulled out of pockets. “Then what do you expect me to do?! We’re cornered—“
    There’s a moment of strange realization that flickers in Steve’s eyes. “Trust me,” He says, and before Bucky can react, he flips him around so Bucky is pressed against the wall, and kisses him fully on the mouth.
