So there was this glorious artwork of Captain America kneeling down with a gentle hand on little-kid Steve Rogers’ head in a comforting sort of gesture. ((I’d link it here but OP is a Stucky shipper which - no shade, just not my flavor - and I didn’t want to put Stony on their Stucky art. 😂))
Because yes, this is where my thought processes inevitably lead me. To stony. And omegaverse AUs because I’m broken that way.
It made me think what if? What if Steve Rogers became a father and none of that super soldier serum existed. Instead he was left with a near identical version of himself as a child. Small, towheaded, frail, stubborn to a fault, sickly and asthmatic, but with piercing blue (or brown depending on the universe dujour) eyes and just wickedly, wickedly, smart. He suspects the kids a genius, but it’s not as if he can really afford to get him tested for it.
I envision Steve as a single parent, trying to make ends meet, trying to care for his son and pay hospital bills and struggling because he somehow, someway, is always coming up short. The world isn’t kind to omegas in general, but they are downright mean to omegas that look like Steve. Especially ones that had a child out of wedlock.
Steve’s son is a gift - but the way he came to be? Steve was mistaken for someone else. A professional who was at that party to serve in a different way. But the man had been so charming, so funny and sweet, and for the first time in his life Steve had felt actually seen. One thing led to another and six months later Steve had been holding his carbon copy in his arms. Except for the eyes. He had his Alpha daddy’s eyes.
Try as he might, and he didn’t admittedly try that hard, Steve couldn’t find the Alpha. And he thought he would never have to. Why chase after a man who clearly did not want to be found? That is, until the doctors deliver some rather devastating news. Steve’s son needs an organ/bone marrow donor. Close family, like parents, are usually a match. Steve isn’t - but the odds are favorable that the boy’s Alpha father would be.
And so Steve sets out to find his one night stand from all those years ago and ask the impossible. He’s tenacious and determined. But when he finally tracks down Tony Stark - he gets a little more than he bargained for. In all of his wildest imaginings Steve never planned on his son’s Alpha father actually caring that he was a father. And not only does Tony Stark care, but he’s furious that his son was kept from him for so long.
If anyone has already written a fic like this pleaaaaaase send me a link.
