kept forgetting to post this, my entry for the @thortourszine ! thanks so much for having me 🤗
imagine if the avengers had actually discussed the plan for more than an hour, and found out from nebula that you have to sacrifice what you love most to get the soul stone (basically a soul for a soul), and steve volunteered himself for the mission. face to face with the red skull, he’s asked if he’s willing to make the sacrifice, to lose what’s important to him. steve replies, “go ahead and try. i’ve already lost everything else.” after its done, steve just laughs and says, “that’s all?”
& steve makes it back alive with the stone. he makes it back to the avengers compound. they don’t recognize him at first, but once they see past the change in structure and size, its obvious. they ask what happened, and he replies “a soul for a soul”. he gave up captain america, let him go once and for all, and that was enough.
this would have been perfect tbh. It’d justify the red skull presence as the guardian of the stone and the whole story would come full circle.
Also can you imagine what a beautiful message it would be? That you don’t need to have super strength to do good and to be a hero and that the most special thing about Steve was his heart and his ethics all along, not the serum. Steve realizing that he is good enough even without the super soldier serum and still valuable to the Avengers and appreciated by his friends.
In the next movies he would be operating just as Steve Rogers, a commander and strategist for missions, sending the teams to execute the plans he masterfully elaborates. Or he could retire too, become the artist he always wanted, adapting again as he always did so many times before and moving on. A message about the value of a found family, perseverance, never giving up and fighting to change what you can but making the best of what you can’t. That’s life and everybody would be able to relate to it
LOVE the black tight turtleneck Steve's wearing for movie night in your art...AND he's gonna sit next to Thor as well... the master strategist jumped out
sit NEXT to Thor? sit ON Thor more like
Joining in on that ship dynamics meme hehe

Ahhh!!!! Your art is so incredible!!! I love the almost pastel colors you choose
Thank you! pastels are some of my favourite colours 🤗
You know what's sad? That even though it's literally /canon/ that Tony Stark watched Steve's ass enough times to comment on what doesn't do it justice, and probably made suits that did it justice since he said the one he didn't make didn't, people still are not talking about Tony worshipping Steve's ass. It's canon! Tony Stark watched that ass! Where's my fics and posts about it?
I'm constantly thinking about people worshipping his ass so like?? you're not alone anon

Hey!! if you're looking for something hot, with an amazing world building, and just plain epic I highly recommend the Starborn and Stormbreaker series by hafital on ao3 (SteveThor). It's pre-aeg but still, one of the best mcu fics I've ever read
THANKS I LOVE STEVETHOR
Happy AU y/y? Steve goes to the past to have his dance and an awkward kiss all but tells him he's kissing a friend rather than an old flame. He doesn't let anything on, this Peggy has magnificent future ahead of her ahead too. He travels the universe for a bit and he's unaware of what's transpiring at home. Because a future version of himself is currently popping into his timeline to hand Sam a shield. And is also being a coy lil' shit about the ring he's sporting on his weathered fingers. (1/3)
Sam takes it in stride, Bucky a solid warmth at his side, a bit lost but ever happy for his best friend, just a bit miffed he never took a shot at his own happiness. But really, the reason Cap's being coy with Sam about who he married was because he doesn't wanna ruin this 2023 version of his self's proposal to Sam and Bucky, one rainy Sunday afternoon, with an old jazz record playing in their living room. Hulk brings back 2023 Steve. And Sam's heart is soaring again, a happiness he's (2/3)
not felt in forever, watching his own Steve's face melt as he sees Bucky and Sam. Bucky surges forward and cuffs him, sniffling a bit. Sam's all jabs and ribbing but he's got happy tears too. Cut to the happy trio taking turns dancing at their future wedding a few years later, their Avenger friends and family gathered and Fury making a tearful speech and all the kids playing. Fade out to Marvin Gaye and proper kisses this time. They'd been through so much but they were gonna be alright. (3/3)
I can see Steve as a consultant just like Tony was and Sam and Bucky timeline hopping for coffee and BBQs. I'd love Commander Rogers too (young or old). The comics had both (but pls, no Stevil). I guess the thought that hurts is one Sam might be having, if he lets himself be selfish just a bit, "Was I not even worth a proper goodbye, you left me for 70 years, dude." But at least Steve was happy. And you're right, the ending was loved by most audience and it leads to the next chapter of the MCU.
[mom voice] if my stevie’s happy, i’m happy
