“The S. Rogers Memorial (it’s NOT a shrine) to J. B. Barnes” (T, 18k) by SkyisGray

When the Avengers realize that Steve doesn’t have anything to remind him of Bucky Barnes, they embark on a project to track down Bucky memorabilia. But it seems that Steve isn’t the only visitor to the (unofficial) J. B. Barnes memorial (which is totally NOT a shrine, Tony).

+ Post Avengers (2012). As the summary says, the Avengers give Steve thoughtful and meaningful items to cheer him up. Their kindness inadvertently foils Hydra’s plans.

“How To Train Your Superheroes” (T, 3k) by StuckySituation

“But of course, no matter how much we practice on schedule, we will need to learn constant vigilance and manage to get our reaction times down to the minimum,” Steve continues and takes the last burger beef from the grill and puts it onto the table next to him.

Natasha has a brief millisecond to frown and think “Constant vigilance?”, before Steve kicks the grill so hard that the coals rain on top of the flammable carpet feets away.

“What the hell-!?”

“STEVE!?”

Steve is already sprinting towards the ledge. “First training session started! Wanda, Sam, Tony - someone CATCH ME!”

Then he jumps off the Tower.

+ Post WS. Steve has learned from the best. His high stress and high intensity trainings may be unconventional/extreme, but they get the job done. Featuring stuffed animal team mascots
