do you ever need to take a second or two or twelve to think about how steve rogers did that
Serum. Held his breath and swam. Once he’s peeled back the nearest steel plate with his bare goddamn hands and squirmed his way in like a slippery eel, it’s not like there aren’t freaking Avengers waiting for him inside. All he’s gotta do is crush a few locks and set them kids loose like a litter of hangry puppies in a PetSmart. They’ll tear that place up in thirty seconds, easy.
Or he stowed away on one of Ross’s quinjets and strolled right on board in the uniform of one of Ross’s men. All he needs is a hat and some sunglasses, maybe a hoodie, as proven by every other movie in Marvel’s history.
Okay I know I’m a very loud SamBucky Stan. But like…….Hear me out…….SamSteve.
Not MCU SamSteve. But……Comic SamSteve.
Like if we are talking MCU, SamBucky all the way. Maybe some SamSteveBucky or SamZemoBucky. But I will always just pick SamBucky.
But some of these Comics…..Y'all. Like I’ve been seeing some of them pop up on Tumblr. Steve had a whole nightmare about A woman stealing His Partner away from him. A lot of these panels have Steve on his Jealous/Protective Boyfriend shit. And for the most part Sam is cooling or at most mildly annoyed. But he deals with Steve anyways. Cause Steve is his partner. The word Partner is also always in a bold font by the by.
It’s really giving…..It’s giving me: Steve is hopelessly in love with his Best friend and wants to protective him. But he also doesn’t want to ruin their friendship with his romantic feelings. He can’t deal with loosing Sam(Clearly). Meanwhile to Sam, They have been ‘Married’ for years.(These comics look older. So like 70-80s. Gay marriage ain’t legal so…..You know they are married in their way. Valid all the same.) Sam isn’t going no where and he’s just waiting for Steve to notice and calm down so they can actually talk about it. But it’s Steve so……Ya know.
And I love that. I honestly love that so much. MCU SamSteve have a similar dynamic I suppose. But It just doesn’t hit for me in the movies the way it hits in these Comics panels. The Panels give me a reckless Steve who just goes. But still has this sense of heroics. Steve in the MCU is reckless but he is definitely more of the Serious Heroic to me. Sam in these panels seems more of a Straight man to Steve. He grounds Steve in a more dramatic way. MCU Sam is definitely a serious guy but he can also be really open and fun loving. He works more with Bucky’s characteristics here.
Then again I’m going off Parts of different comics. I’ll definitely read some and give an update later.
The comics stay giving me the good samsteve content
I am kind of imagining what Sam and Steve would be like at Pride? Like, go with me here: later in life Samsteve.
Where Aaron invites them to a pride parade, in a smaller city where it’s still one of the first years they’ve had such an event. And Sam and Steve road-trip on bikes to get there. It’s important to both of because it’s important to put out the current “official” Caps supporting the queer community in the smaller town.
On the ride there, they encounter a few more events in different cities. They meet lots of different people and a couple that’s been together for over 50 years. The way they describe partnership and love and faith lead Steve to reflect on his partnership with Sam. With the added confusion of how Sam seems more well versed in these concepts and adamant that, despite their closeness, Steve doesn’t know everything about him.
Basically, Steve discovering his identity and evaluating his feelings for his partner on a road trip to Pride.
Title: Water in the Lungs A gift forpotofsoup Word count: 3802 Warnings: Some depression and insomnia from not dealing well with loss. Summary: Sometimes Sam forgets that not only can he not save everyone, but that it’s okay if he needs to be saved from time to time as well. Luckily, he has Steve to remind him.
The prompt was “a missing scene from Cap 2.”. I think there was definitely enough time for Steve to show his savior some gratitude before they ran out to save the world~
“No, I didn’t strike out, I hit all ten pins." Steve looked back at Sam, eyes wide. "Didn’t you say that was the point of this game?”
There was something hidden in that look. A calculated innocence that meant the exact opposite. Sam narrowed his eyes. “Wait… bowling was around when you were a kid, wasn’t it?”
Steve shrugged: “Of course. Not *everything’* invented in the last 20 years, y'know." Steve casually tossed the ball down the lane for another strike. "Besides, it’s a bit like throwing the shield – calculate the spin trajectory and all that.”
“Is there anything that you’re *not* good at?" Sam groused. "I’m trying to do this ‘teach Captain America dumb modern things’ schtick and you’re really not helping..”
“Well,” Sam caught the sparkle in Steve’s eyes as he shoved Sam’s ball at him. “I’ve always wanted to learn how to fly.”

It was easy enough to call up Tony for another set of wings for Steve, and soon Sam found himself airborne with Steve in tow.
“You ready?" Sam yelled over the wind.
"Roger that!” Steve smiled and waved, then loosened his grip on Sam.
Steve immediately started dropping and spiraling out of control. His thrusters were going the wrong direction, and one wing looked about to be ripped off…
Riley…
No … it was Steve, and he was still within reach.
Sam tucked in his wings to gain more downward momentum and dropped straight down like a peregrin falcon. Steve’s arms came closer and closer into view, but Sam waited until he was slightly below Steve before he opened his wings and twisted to catch an updraft. Reaching behind Steve’s back, he straightened Steve’s thrusters and manually angled Steve’s wings. “Turn the L2 thrusters up to 75 and the R1 down to 20.”
Steve immediately complied, and soon they were soaring upward in a slow spiral, wings flared in a tight embrace.
“Whoa, there, Steve." Sam gulped, trying to catch his breath and make the next line come out lighter than he felt. "I know you’re pretty good at this falling thing, but let’s try not to do it like that next time, all right?”
That’s when he felt the gentle nuzzle and light peck at his cheek. “Thanks, Sam”
Title: til you make it A gift for the-omniscient-narrator Word Count:3700 Warnings: Blink-and-you-miss-it mention of Bucky’s brainwashing; schmoopy tropeness Summary:“Really?” Agent Hill raised the glass to her lips but didn’t swallow. “It seems like it’s a problem.”
Title: This is not a Rom-com! A gift for puckity Word count: 2112 Warnings: none Summary: Sam and Steve pose as a couple to infiltrate a cruise ship. It goes about as well as you’d expect.
Featuring a group of the most incompetent henchmen on the planet and a brief mention of colorful Speedos.
Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers first met at a summer science camp, when they were both placed in the Falcon cabin during astronomy week. After that summer they kept in contact writing one another letters, and decided to apply for NASA’s space camp program a couple of summers later. They were both able to attend and had the time of their lives learning all sorts of new things and sharing the experience with one another! Over the years they continued to write to one another whenever they were apart, and while they went to different schools for undergrad they were delighted to reunite during their grad programs in Maryland, where their relationship took a turn for the romantic. Now they share a home and life together, and both have jobs they love studying and exploring the same stars that brought them together in the first place!
