i. Tony Stark and Steve Rogers meet at a party and the universe shatters.
“Have we met before?” Tony asks. “I have a feeling we did.”
ii. Natasha Rogers is whispering an old forgotten lullaby as her husband counts the constellations that lost themselves in her eyes. She laughs, and from her mouth escape a thousand stars.
“Imagine if we never met.” Steve asks.
Steve loves her, through a thousand lifetimes, and she knows it. So she just smiles.
“That’s impossible, darling.”
iii. Siberia adds even more shards of ice in Steve’s already freezing heart. He doesn’t care.
He calls Tony earth’s best defender, and the words leave a bitter taste in his mouth.
He remembers the taste of Tony’s kisses, a taste of saltwater and lemons and stars and Steve wants to cry.
iv. in this universe Tony hugs him.
Tony hugs him. It’s almost midnight and Steve’s eyes are burning from crying so much and now his heart is screaming with love as he watches all the stars spinning into Tony’s eyes.
He loves Tony.
How could he not?
v. in this universe they never even meet.
Well, that’s a lie. In this universe, they wake up in the golden America of saloons and Steve is a sheriff, bright and shiny as always. In this universe, Steve only lives for three more days. The sun is shining as bright as his smile was once when they kill him in front of Tony.
Tony wishes he was anything but alive.
vi. “it doesn’t matter how many universes there are. There will always be a version of me standing by your side.”
Steve’s voice is barely a whisper, shimmering in the darkness. They’re standing together under the stars.
“Are you sure?” asks Tony.
“Yeah.” comes Steve’s voice. Always.
vii. Tony Stark and Steve Rogers meet at a party and the universe shatters.
“Have we met before?” Tony asks. “I have a feeling we did.”
Y’all can keep at it with that “Romeo and Juliet fell in love in five days how immature” shiz but Macbeth went from no murder to yes murder in like one afternoon and I feel like one of those is a significantly bigger problem than the other
Particularly if you live in Texas, please vote, just for the schadenfreude. Can you even imagine if Texas goes blue. Can you even imagine Ted Cruz losing. I’m getting giddy just thinking about the conservative meltdown. There is literally zero path to the Presidency for Republicans that doesn’t include Texas. If they have to sweat bullets for the next forever thinking that Texas might be a left-leaning state… guys, this just sounds like a fun time.
Vote for Beto for the schadenfreude.
Quite frankly, even if he Beto loses but only loses by a little bit, the Republicans will still be alarmed. Texas was supposed to be their shore thing. Cruz winning but barely would still be a sign.
