Summary
Steve Rogers is a painter who lives in Brooklyn, and he can’t sleep. He keeps himself busy with work, volunteering, and helping his elderly neighbour Marjorie walk her dog. The city is warm at this time of year, good for long walks at night, and yet Steve still can’t sleep.
When he can’t sleep, he’s often painting. People, buildings, skylines.
But sometimes Steve paints things he doesn’t understand, or recognise. Shapes, movement, colours...and there’s a man. A man keeps appearing in his paintings. And something’s strange about his arm.

Summary
Steve hesitated but eventually stepped back, allowing Tony to take the microphone again. But the reporter just wouldn’t let up. “So just to clarify Captain, your stance on Alpha First-”
Something inside Steve snapped. A coil spring twisted out of shape, and beyond repair. He was tired, not just from the mission, but from life. Steve was tired that he’d lost everything, that he’d had seventy years stolen from him in a heartbeat, that all his old friends were dead, and yet - nothing had changed. The world had hesitated too. SHIELD, the government, the army. Another system pretending to make change while changing nothing. Hesitating at the precipice, and then taking three safe steps back. Steve was sick of it, sick of everything. He was sick of groups like Alpha First, who thought they understood the world, when they understood nothing. Nothing. They knew nothing about him. Who he was, who he loved, what he wanted, what he stood for-
What did Steve stand for?
Now that was a good question.
OR: Steve gets badgered by a conservative group during an Avengers conference. How does he respond? By kissing Tony Stark, his fellow alpha team mate.

Summary
“Had he said anything to you?” Natasha asked softly, eyes fixed on the shifting river beneath them.
Bucky shook his head mutely. “Something about being nervous about seeing Red Skull, he told me he wouldn’t be gone for long,” he said, words tasting bitter in his mouth now. “Guess he just saw her and…” He trailed off, not wanting to finish the sentence. The words twisted up his mouth, bottom lip trembling. He realised he was shaking.
“Oh James,” Natasha sighed. She sounded tired, so very tired. “I’m sorry.”
---
Steve was just supposed to be returning the stones, but when he comes back he's old, and he's apparently lived a whole life with Peggy Carter. A life without Bucky even in it.
Bucky doesn't know to move on from it.
He can't, and he won't.
