Perhaps I spent too long on this and bothered the amazing @badasseryandriversong on this design because I was lost but the last few paragraphs spoke to me

I will eventually clean this up and post to AO3, but I’m bordering on being late for work because of this ficlet.

I think we all need this right now.

Fic: Tomorrow starts the work. (1/1) Steggy

You can see this as either a part of my Dissents Speak or Seven if we’re lucky Universes…

~*~

It was a devastating blow.

Sitting, watching the results come in.

Watching each state turn red.

“Red Mirage, blue wave,” Steve muttered to himself as he paced between phone calls and texts, over and over for hours on end, managing the flow of information between Peggy and the outside world.

“It’s not coming,” she finally conceded, holding back tears.

“It’s still-“

“No,” she finally interrupted him, sniffing back her emotion. “No. It’s not coming.” Peggy stood, pulling at her shirt and reaching for her jacket. “I’ll have to meet with everyone, put together a speech.”

”I don’t understand how,” he said softly, looking between her and the screen, devastated and forlorn and confused. “We worked so hard, we told the truth, we showed everyone what the difference was…”

”And they weren’t ready,” Peggy said softly, sadly, as she reached for him, entwining her fingers in his. “So may people are, but not enough understood what was at stake.”

”What… what do we do?” He stammered, clutching her hand tight.

She looks at the TV, muted, with the prediction blaring in bold letters across the banner at the bottom: they’ve lost. It’s undeniable. “We try to sleep. We concede gracefully.”

Peggy smiles at him, reaching up and letting her hand run over his cheek. “You never even considered the possibility, did you, darling?”

Steve shakes his head. “I don’t understand how…”

She sighs, full of love for the man before her, his optimism and his passion, and for the loss they’ve both now suffered. For the loss so many have suffered.

“Neither do I,” she reminds him gently, “but I need you to.” She can only smile at his quizzical look. “Tonight we can be sad, but tomorrow starts the work. This was an election, not a sentencing. Nothing is written in stone. For every policy, for every bill, for every ideaology he puts forward, we need to be there, ready to fight for what we know everyone deserves.”

He shakes his head, astounded at her strength. “I’m just- I’m so fucking tired, Peg…”

”Aren’t we all, darling?” She can’t keep the bone deep weariness out of her voice. “But we carry on, because that’s what we do. We carry on, because someone needs to fight, to educate, to do. The more we do, the more others will, too. If we stand still, if we get bogged down by this defeat, nothing will change. We will create that destiny for ourselves. Tomorrow is still unknown, and I’m going to do damn well everything in my power to make sure it isn’t the outcome I’m afraid of.”

He pulls her into his arms, holding her tightly. “You’re right.”

She laughs, even if a tear does escape her eyes. “Of course I’m right, darling.”

”Tomorrow starts the work,” he affirms, stepping back and running his thumb over her cheek, wiping away her single errant tear.

She smiles up at him, tinged with fear and loss, but full of the hope she never gives up on, “Tomorrow starts the work.”

Steve's Pregnancy Kink

thanks to @steggyfanevents for Steggy Week! Day One: Tropes - Trope being pregnancy

Steve wakes up to the sight of his naked, pregnant wife checking herself out in the mirror.

Steve Rogers made sure that he counted his blessings every single day, as his mother had taught him.

And today was going to be one of those special days. He knew it from the moment he woke up, waking up to the beautiful sight of his naked wife.

The rising sun's golden light filtered from their opened window, the curtains fluttering in the wind. The light cast down on the sight in front of him, wrapping around Peggy's beautiful form.

She stood in front of their floor-length mirror, naked. The golden light shone around her made her look angelic, made his heart ache and believe that this was just a dream and if it was, he never wanted to wake up.

She was staring at her reflection, her hands caressing the slight swell of her belly. She traced around the swell with her fingertips, Steve swallowing and not daring to move from where he lay.

This felt like a private moment that he was invading.

Summary: No one's surprised when Pepper suggests an alternative to the Sokovian accords before the councilman can even propose the idea. It’s Pepper after all. Of course, she waits until the councilman leaves before dropping the real bomb. The public needs to see a deliberate, personal movement. They need to see the lives of the Avengers be affected by the losses they leave. When Peter Parker gets a call from his social worker, he just knows he's being kicked out of yet another foster home. When he burst into her office to see the Avengers waiting to adopt him, he’s sure that it was their way of inviting Spiderman to join the team. Luckily the Avenger’s like to discuss vigilantes over breakfast. A small tingle of non-spidey-sense-related nerves flutter in his stomach when Tony complains about the lack of cameras in Queens, but it isn’t until the heroes start suggesting possible people or personalities for the man behind the spider mask that he realizes he has no clue what’s going on.

Every few weeks, they send a news crew out to film them when they come back to camp, muddied and bruised, but always victorious. Phillips seems to loathe it even more than the Howling Commandos do, surly as he stomps around their outpost, muttering under his breath that, the front ain’t Gone with the fucking Wind.

“That’s real nice,” the slimy director tells them later that afternoon, looking over the list of shots they’ve taken today. “But I’d like to see the old uniform. The boys need a little something to look at. You know, get excited over?”

Margot’s perfectly shaped eyebrows don’t raise a single inch as she says, “Well, I guess we can see if Kitty kept Steve’s old skintight red, white and blue number,” and Bucky laughs and laughs and laughs until he cries.

The USO girls are Steve's Howling Commandos. Bucky's died and gone to Heaven.

Memory Monday, slightly delayed due to illness. Here's a MCU fic that I did as part of a one-sentence challenge. It's now 5 years old!

[rohirriiim]

Steve Rogers + canonically longing for Peggy Carter through constant and consistent characterization during the time he was without her.

[captainjimothycarter]

let's ignore just how late this is because my brain and body decided to tank the last few days of Steggy Week. This will be counting towards Day 5 (Inspired By) & Day 6 (WIP). @steggyfanevents & @dirtydoctorwho none of this would exist without you and all your help.

Having known Angie since she was a teenager, Peggy trusted that girl with her life. Even if they'd only met once in person in their early college years, Angie was still her best friend. It turned out to be a lifesaver when she called her in hysterics because Peggy had found herself in an impossible situation.

The impossible of impossible, her life was turned upside down because of one simple mistake and her parents would not hear her out.

She was pregnant, pregnant by some mysterious one-night stand that was a self-proclaimed traveler, so there was no damn way she would have contacted him (weeks later) to tell him that she was pregnant with his child.

Worst of all, her parents had found her positive pregnancy test when they were snooping through her trash and had demanded answers from Angie. To give her credit, her friend did hold out, feigned ignorance, until they stole Peggy's phone under the guise 'you are our child and we pay for your bill and you live under our roof' manipulation tactic.

They'd found more solidifying, concrete proof that their precious, angelic daughter who could do no wrong was pregnant. Pregnant out of wedlock.

Harrison and Amanda Carter did the only sensible thing and cut off all support with their only daughter and kicked her out of their home.

Forcing her to drop out of college, mid-semester.

Peggy did the only thing she could think of in her hysteric state and ran away to America, right into Angie's protective arms.

Angie's family comes from good, old-fashioned folks. Very hard-working folks who worked hard to get where they're at today. They adopted, and welcomed Peggy with open arms, meanwhile putting a curse on her family for ever kicking out someone just because they were pregnant.

Abandoning their flock because they're afraid of being judged. Afraid of how society would see them because her father is a well-known pastor and everyone knows that pastors are free of any sort of sin.

It takes a while for her to settle down, Angie's family insists that she must keep her feet up, and stress-free, to not worry about a thing for the sake of the baby.

Peggy brushes off their concern, saying that she needs to earn her own money and there's only so much of a handout she can take before pride gets in her way. She's as stubborn as they come.

Angie knows that well, so once Peggy is settled, a doctor clears her for work (because neither Granny Loretta nor Angie would allow her to do so until she sees a doctor), she gets Peggy a job at a local diner.

Peggy recognizes this one right away, it's a diner that's been in New York since the 1800s. More importantly, it's a Martinelli-owned diner, that's been handed down from generation to generation, kept run by Martinellis and their trusted friends and family.

Plus, it's in all of the Martinellis' family photos that hung

Angie might not mention it's a family-owned business and that's how she got Peggy the job, but she knew and thanked her friend for not outting this fact to help her keep her pride from being hurt.

Just like her studies, Peggy does what she does best and throws herself into her work. The work wasn't easy (not that she expected it to be), she wanted to make Angie and her family proud, and she wanted to provide for herself, not to mention the little one that depended on her to survive.

She wanted to let Angie's family know that she wasn't taking their help for granted.

The customers are rude, they yell, they throw things, and they speak their minds and stupid opinions when they're not even asked.

Unlucky for them, Peggy is rude back. She doesn't take no for an answer and refuses to serve customers who think of themselves better or think she's just some 'silly server' so they could sexually harass her.

The last fella who did that a few dribbles of hot coffee in his lap the last time he slapped her ass. Call it right time, right place.

No one knows that incredibly handsome but shy-looking man who comes into Martinellis's every so often enough to be known as a regular but is missed when he's not there.

Steve is sat in her section during an easy, light shift. Early, before the breakfast rush, where Peggy normally shines because she doesn't have to deal with assholes and can communicate with her customers.

She's told that he's a known regular, and sees the other server eyeing her with slight jealousy (but that's [person Steve kissed], she's jealous quite easily over the littlest of things). She knows the regulars by now but hasn't seen him around.

At first impressions, he's polite. The politeness that's old fashioned, that's taught by the older folks. He's sweet and kind. Yet, he's not old fashion like the men who use it to sexually harass her. He's kind, offers her a seat when he sees her approach, and says her feet must be killing her. (They are)

He's polite but not in an 'I've never done wrong' sort of way. It's just the old politeness. He might look like an American Boy with his blonde hair and bright blue eyes but she sees the scars on his fingertips, the charcoal and lead that stains his fingerprints. The black bags under his eyes indicate he so rarely slept.

He introduces himself first, says his name is Steve and he's been a regular here for a long, long time. (His Ma used to wait tables in between shifts at the hospital, he had spent his childhood drawing at the tables.)

He asks Peggy about herself if she's enjoying America, and the cultural difference (his knowledge of London seems almost old) but she notices that he cleverly avoids asking what brought her here, instead asks about her enjoying Angie's family and says that they've helped him out a lot too in 'this day and age.'

(More under the cut, just didn't wanna bug people with how long this is)

He speaks in an old-fashioned manner, whimsical. Like he's longing for something that is so far out of reach but he can't help but to want it. A time before that she wasn't privy to knowledge but witness the pain it brought this handsome (very handsome) gentleman before her.

She tries to imagine what he's thinking when his voice gains that whimsical note, tries to imagine what's behind those glasses but doesn't lose too much time to it. It's not up to her to learn these things, until she's told.

While they talk, she watches him, like she does any of her customers. He's kind to strangers and that's a rare thing nowadays (it's sad to say, even in her very pregnant state, people won't even give her a seat on the bus.) He picks up a kid's toy countless times, and the kiddo enjoys the game. It gave the exhausted-looking mother a break, a small smile shot their way because of it.

He makes sure to greet everyone he knows but follows her conversation, makes sure to ask questions. He's engaged, but not in a manner that seems forced. He doesn't seem like he's bored and just making conversation, he generally wants to know about her.

Most of all, Peggy notices, there's a distant yearning in his tone. That he needs /something/ to create a balm for him, to ease the pain that burns inside of him.

It's obvious there's something there, they click more easily than Peggy has to say that she has with anyone before. The talk is pleasant and when he smiles at her, it's genuine.

They talk so much that it's well past her shift, the sun has risen over the city, and Peggy is sitting with Steve, nursing a cup of ginger tea. She's exhausted but she doesn't want the conversation to end

After Steve leaves, Peggy returns from the bathroom and clocks out to see Angie with an envelope. Her name is on it, in fancy script. Angie stuffs it into her bag for her and tells her to open it once she's home.

Curiosity eats at her until she's home and inside she finds a bouquet of tulips, after she'd told him that roses were so overrated and tulips were beautiful. And how she wanted to see the Tulips in Holland one day but that was put on hold.

Another portrait inside is of a fantasy castle in the clouds, with beautiful stars sprinkling above. There's the backside of a woman (she has suspicion or perhaps wants it to be) who is holding a babe above her, letting it reach for the stars.

Seems like their talk of fantasy books and the slight mention of the nursery being a fantasy setting really rubbed off on Steve. Her smile faltered as she pulled out the large bundle of cash that Steve had stuck in there, with a note. That boy and his notes -

I know what this looks like, it's not illegal. I'm not framing you from my recent robbing of a bank. This is yours. To do as what you want with. - Stevie

There had to be well over a few grand in here. How the hell did a simple-man like Steve come by this amount? Despite his note, she was not settled and worried.

She asks Angie about it when she comes by later with dinner and Angie just shrugs her shoulders. "Oh, yeah, that's just Steve. He's really loaded. No one knows how or why, but we're sure it's not some sort of illegal blood money. Like 90% sure. Gram-Gram says it's old money, that he made some sort of sacrifice and deserves every penny and more. I wouldn't normally believe her but Gram-Gram never lies."

"I just don't understand why. Why would he give me this much?"

Angie shrugs. "Because he wants to. Steve likes to give big tips, loves to help people out. He must see something in you - what did you two talk about? It looked like you two were old friends."

"I can assure you that we are not. That was the first time I've ever met him," Peggy sighs, staring at the bundle of cash like it might bite her. "Only thing I told him was I was excited to start on this little one's room soon."

"Well," Angie hums, picking up the drawings. "He clearly is just as excited."

Notes:

HC that Steve had saved a Martinelli (most likely Lortetta’s immediate family) during WWII and because of that, they believe they are forever in his debt. They unofficially adopt him and help him adapt to society when he wakes up in the future.

Loretta encourages Steve to drop the Shield, to learn what it’s like to be Steve Rogers again

Legend has it that she gave Director Fury an earful over how he was treating Steve like a puppet. Fury’s ears are still ringing to this day.

Only Loretta knows that Steve was Captain America. No one else knows. Steve had dropped the shield once he woken up in the 21st century, feeling like he could no longer do the job that he’d once loved.

He only agrees to go on missions if they’re world ending biases. So far he’s only gone on two in the time he’s woken up in the future

Each time he had, he returned feeling like he was falling apart, mentally and physically. It took weeks of Loretta tending to him, cooking him meals before he started to feel like himself again.

New Moon - Chapter 3: Captain Daddy

Steggy Week Day 3: AU's & Crossovers - @steggyfanevents

While he normally avoids shopping like the plague, Steve has to admit that helping Solas experience the world is rewarding.

The home was quiet when Steve arrived.

Morning hadn't just quite graced them, the sun was slowly starting to peak over the horizon, painting the morning in bright shades of pink and baby blues. A stillness was in the air, the sweetness of a promise of a new start.

Peggy's voice graced him as he climbed the stairs, recognizing what she must've been reading to Solas.

"...a hole...lived a...hobbit... Not a nasty...oozy smell...bare, sandy hole..."

The scene in front of him was a heartwarming one. Peggy, wearing her robe, sat on the floor, Solas in her lap. His heart was in his throat as he watched her read. As she reached the part of Gandalf’s arrival, the sun broke through the clouds, streaming golden light on the pair. It highlighted the loves of his life, their family just growing by one more.

This is all that Steve had wanted and more. This is the life that he craved, the simplicity of it, even if it was spiced in parts. He wanted someone to share his joy with, his life, his love. He had so much love to give.

He knelt beside Peggy and used his gruffest, wizard voice, "What do you mean?" His brow ruffled as he pulled his shirt over his chin to mimic the beard. "Do you wish me a good morning or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or that you feel good this morning or that it is a morning to be good on?"

Peggy laughed until she had tears sparkling in her eyes. Still laughing, she pulled his shirt down and kissed his lips. "Well, Mr. Gandalf, I didn't expect to see you so soon. I thought you would still be handling your wizard business?"
