museum curator, watching steve waltz into the smithsonian, the memory of having the stolen cap america authentic howling commando era uniform returned dirty and ridden with bullet holes still fresh in their mind: hide the VALUABLES
steve, reaching over the rope to poke at something on display: it’s my goddamn stuff???
I’M SAYIN’, every single level of management at the Smithsonian must have had an extensively well-documented migraine after dealing with the colossal shitshow raised by such thrilling items as “sock (woolen)” pulled from the pack of one “Rogers, Steve G., 1918 – 1945 lol whoops he’s back″
like i said in my initial reblog… all the people building stories out of this make me laugh with delight, but smithsonian & dc museum people adding their tags give me LIFE
… also steven grant rogers would be KIND and COURTEOUS to the front-line museum staff and not ask them stupid questions and you will pry that headcanon from my cold dead hands thankyouverymuch
oh steven grant rogers is KIND and POLITE and CONSIDERATE to front-line museum staff, he will politely move himself to the side so he doesn’t cause traffic issues if he gets recognized and a couple kids want pictures, he apologizes to security for causing a scene (he didn’t mean to! he thought his baseball cap disguise would work, bless him). he returns his maps (sweet and so unnecessary but then one of the volunteers can take a map captain america used and will probably sign for them back to their grandkids so that’s nice). the docents LOVE him; he’s both a Nice Young Man and also from Back in Their Day.
the collections and conservation staff however have sworn a blood oath of pure vengeance against him and nothing he ever does will change their minds. the textile conservator (we’ll call her lorraine) who had to restore the old captain america suit spent THREE YEARS OF HER LIFE on that stupid thing and it’s still too unstable to ever exhibit again. lorraine went through FIVE INTERNS, two of whom CRIED ON HER. she had to spend a fourth year making a replica because everyone was writing their representatives that the captain america suit wasn’t on display and they MADE HER DO IT.
like if steve thought any debrief in wwii he ever had sucked lol try lorraine, who has given up trying to catalogue what the fuck happened to that piece of shit suit and finally tracked down his cell phone number after six months of this hell project out of sheer bloody mindness and desperation and tricks him into her office through a series of absolute goddamn lies about idk public programming or some shit that steve might actually care about and then corners him and makes him give her a play by play of what, exactly, the fuck he did to that suit.
cuz, okay, listen. blah blah save the world blah blah, but steven grant rogers* stole a priceless museum artifact, bled on it, set it on fire, dropped it into the potomac, dragged it (WHILE WET) through river mud and god knows how many plants and bugs and microbes, got melting plastic and metal and shrapnel and other people’s body juices and skin and hair embedded in it–the only reason he lives is because he can give the full and accurate account of what the fuck he did to it and answer questions of how the fuck it can be slightly, slightly unfucked. not saved! not made to look like it was! certainly not able to be put on a mannequin and exhibited again! but like she can get some more of the mud and that chunk of charred plastic out maybe. otherwise, lorraine would have murdered that dumb bitch in a fit of justifiable rage, and no amount of charming “sorry ma’am”s would fucking save him.
1. Who’s the first to wake up in the morning?
While I feel like both Steve and Juniper would have difficulty sleeping at times, I feel like Steve would usually wake up first in the morning. Juniper just loves to be snuggled all warm in the covers, especially when the covers still smell like Steve.
2. Who’s the one to make breakfast?
Honestly, I can see them both making breakfast. Juniper loves to cook Steve a nice big breakfast, especially when Steve has been away on a mission or something. Occasionally they will cook together in the morning, and enjoy a nice meal at the table.
3. Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed?
Definitely Juniper. Steve works so hard and she loves to make sure that he knows how much she appreciates it. She cooks his favorite all American breakfast including eggs, toast, bacon, etc, and brings it to him as a token of her gratitude.
4. Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work?
They both have suggested it. Sometimes mornings can be hectic, being an avenger and all, so sometimes when they have a quiet morning they like to endure a bit. Juniper suggests it if Steve has been gone for a while. She just misses him too much.
5. Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day?
Juniper for sure. Steve has a good work ethic and rarely stays home from work. But when Juniper is looking up at him with those big pleading eyes, he can’t say no to her. The two of them end up laying around in their sweats all day, being as close to each other as physically possible.
6. Who chooses the movies?
Depends on what kind of mood they are in. Steve loves to show Juniper the old movies he used to watch when he was younger. Juniper loves to show Steve the current movies. They both give each other a few options and allows the other to choose depending on what kind of movie they want to watch at that time.
7. Who initiates kissing, thus distracting the other from the movie all together?
Steve. That boy can’t get enough of her. She’d be super into the movie, eyes completely fixed on the screen. Steve would start to trail his index finger along her thigh or arm. Then he would pull her in close, and the next thing you know he’s kissing along her jaw. Juniper becomes like putty in his hands and one thing leads to another, and the movie is forgotten.
8. Who orders lunch?
Honestly, I feel like it would be Steve. Juniper is really good at forgetting to eat, specifically if she has something going on. Juniper gets hyper fixated and won’t stop to eat until she’s done. So Steve frequently has to order lunch and make her stop what she’s doing. Juniper never argues, and thanks him after.
9. Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking?
Juniper does this all the time. If Steve has any type of dinner roll, Juniper just sneaks it away. She loves bread. Steve never minds though, he actually thinks it’s kind of cute.
10. Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy?
This is a such a Juniper thing to do. In general, she loves to snuggle. The warmth the other can provide is so soothing. So after a big meal if Steve is sitting on the couch either reading or watching tv, she settles herself right into him and falls asleep within ten minutes, snoring away.
11. Who distracts the other from trying to work at home?
Neither honestly. Sometimes Juniper will want attention, but she knows that when Steve has stuff to work on, he really needs to get it done. They both respect that boundary.
12. Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old?
Juniper. He doesn’t eat ice cream often but when she gets that craving, she just HAS to have it.
13. Who takes pictures of the other eating ice cream?
Steve. He has so many pictures of Juniper. He finds it so funny when she gets some on her nose, and she tries to look at it cross-eyed before wiping it off.
14. Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on the other’s face?
Neither. Sexual jokes aren’t really either of their style.
15. Who cooks dinner?
They alternate. Sometimes Steve will surprise Juniper with a big meal. Other times Juniper will make him his favorite meal. Others they cook together. Depends on who is tired.
16. Who cleans up the kitchen after?
Whoever doesn’t cook.
17. Who stays up until 2 am reading?
Steve has so many books and he loves to read. At the end of the night, Steve loves to sit up in bed and read while Juniper snuggles up. Sometimes he will read to her to help her fall asleep. She loves the sound of his voice, and they have the same taste in books.
18. Who stares at their partner while they sleep?
Juniper can’t get over how beautiful Steve is. If she can’t sleep she will just look at him. The way he looks so peaceful makes her happy.
19. Who kisses their partner while they are asleep?
Steve always wakes Juniper up with a kiss if he wakes up earlier. Whether it be on her forehead, or on her lips, the sweet wake up all has become a tradition in their household.
Rhodey and Tony watch Pixar movies together on Thursday nights and cry during the sad parts while Pepper rolls her eyes and hands them both tissues.
Reblog if you agree.
Adding to this, when the other Avengers are around, Sam sits next to Bucky and very quietly warns him before things happen in the movie that might be triggering, whether it’s a particularly sad part, or a sudden burst of violence because Bucky is still re-integrating and never knows what might set him off.
Also, subtitles are on constantly just in case Clint takes his hearing aids out.

Natasha sits with Bruce because neither one of them are especially fond of Pixar movies, but Natasha gets tense whenever the bad guys come on the screen, and Bruce gets tense any time the protagonist (usually the kiddo) is in danger, so they sit and hold hands, not to be romantic, but because that way they can monitor each other’s pulses and say quiet things to keep each other calm.
Steve is relegated to sitting in the back because not only does he stand and cheer when the good guy wins, he also boos and throws things when the bad guy does ANYTHING, and Tony is tired of replacing TVs alright?
Thor watches every move the villain makes and then later over “death by chocolate” hot chocolate he fervently explains to the team how sometimes the villain isn’t a villain, sometimes he’s misunderstood and pushed away until he snaps, and even though he needs to be held responsible for his crimes, he also needs to be treated as a human, because he still has a heart.
No one argues with him, because Thor always plays with the black hair woven through his blonde, a constant reminder of losing his brother.
I am laughing so hard steve lands so lightly on his toes like a damn ballerina and bucky just drops like a ton of bricks on that car and fucking CRUSHES IT
So, in parkour, there is a practice of trying to land as quietly as possible. This is because landing lightly and softly absorbs the energy from the impact into the muscles as opposed to the bones where they may do some hard damage.
So, by landing lightly on his feet, Steve is employing good practice, showing training that works with his body, to get the most out of his super-soldierity.
However, the Winter Soldier lands harshly and without regard to the well being of his body. His objective is only the kill, and he will sacrifice his body and push through considerable pain to complete his mission.
That got sad real fast
just to highlight the difference between the winter soldier’s movements and bucky’s.
I swear to god the little details they put into this movie are insane on a subconscious level.
I’m gonna cry
*whispers* tell me again how you think he’s a villain and not a victim?
It wasn’t often Bucky
could get Steve to do it. Once in a
while, when Steve was feeling sentimental.
When it was dark and most folks were sleeping.
It wasn’t often, but once
in a while Bucky could get Steve to stand on his feet and dance with him;
taking slow, careful steps in the kitchen where the floorboards didn’t squeak
so much. He’d lean in close, one hand
holding one of Steve’s hands and the other around his waist, and his lips close
enough to Steve’s good ear so Bucky could sing only as loud as he needed to for
Steve to hear:
“Your eyes of blue, your kisses too.”
Steve’s hands tightened:
one in Bucky’s hand and the other in his shirt.
“I never knew what they could do.”
“Buck.” It was too dark for Bucky to see the blush on
Steve’s cheeks but Bucky could hear it in his tone. Not quite mumbled but directed at their feet.
Bucky removed his hand
from around Steve’s waist to tip Steve’s head up and catch his eyes, glinting
dim lamplight from the street. “I can’t believe that you’re in love with me.”
Steve’s eyes lit up and he
leaned in to speak against Bucky’s mouth: “Course I do, jerk.”
