Summary
"Tony, the stone!" Hawkeye yells, shooting a few more explosive arrows at a pterodaptil who flew dangerously close to him.
"I'm busy over here!" Tony yells, currently fighting against a few in the air.
"Can someone grab the damn thing already?!" Cried Widow, shooting alongside Clint. Steve looked around, shield in hand. Everyone else seemed way too deep into their own fights, and the gem was right there. They couldn't afford to lose it.
"I'm on it!" He said, already running towards it.
"No, Cap! You know what happened last time you tried to catch one with your bare hands!" Tony yelled, shooting from his arc reactor and knocking down a dinosaur.
"I know, but the gem is right here! I'm going to jump, and as soon as I catch it, I'm gonna need one of you guys to catch me as well!" Steve said stubbornly.
-----------------------------------------
It's Steve who touches the gem, not Tony. (Aka canon rewrite with baby Steve instead of baby Tony).

Summary
It's hard when you fall in love with your best friend, because when said friend does something that drives you up a wall, you have no one to bitch about them to.
Bucky was always championing for Steve to push himself. Ever since they were kids, he knew he'd see Steve's work hanging in an art gallery one day. But whenever he's a thread away from that opportunity, he turns it down. He doesn't know if it the combined stress of his mom passing, them growing older, his health worsening that made him second guess himself. But sometimes, Bucky couldn't bite his tongue.

Summary
When they locked eyes, the stranger grinned a wide sunshine smile, not pausing as he wound his way down to the ground, hips moving in a way that had Steve's mouth dry. As soon as he came back up, he was gone, laughing loud as the crowd shifted and he found himself being pulled with the motion. Steve was immediately setting pencil to paper, trying to capture the flash of teeth and the fluid motion he saw onto paper. He tried to ignore how hot his blood was pulsing in his veins and how foggy his brain had become. He wasn't a lot of fun, and he certainly wouldn't be to a man like that, but his chest was tight enough he was borderline needing his inhaler. Men didn't usually affect Steve like that.

Summary
Phil opened his laptop to watch a video while he ate, something to distract and fill the void. In trying to find a video on vintage cars, a channel he didn’t recognize from the usual community popped up.
“Vintage HouseOmega”
While the car in the thumbnail wasn’t vintage at all, Phil let his curiosity guide him to click on the video. There were artsy shots of the exterior and interior of the car and some non-identifiable jazz playing, but when the beautiful omega came on screen, Phil stopped mid-bite and softly gasped.

"Stay," Steve rasps in a tiny voice. "Or just…tell me what's…" He motions to the room, hoping it gets his point across.
"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry," Bucky shifts back into place behind Steve. "You're at our house cause your ma has to work and you're sick," He explains. "Your fever's gotta be up there," Bucky presses the backs of his knuckles to the nape of Steve's neck. "I bet that's what's gettin' you mixed up."
"Yeah," Steve nods absent-mindedly.

Summary
Steve crosses his arms, feeling more than a little defensive. "Look, it's not my first choice either, but there's no other option. There's literally not another room in all of Susquehanna with space for me."
Bucky looks as though his soul is about to leave his body in sheer annoyance. "I just—I really thought I was going to have a single this year."
"Yeah?" Steve keeps himself from snapping, but only just. "I thought I was going to have a room this year."
*
In which Steve and Bucky are forced to room together their senior year at boarding school, and accidentally soul bond to each other even though they kind of hate each other.
