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.”
We were once the seat of absolute power in the cosmos. Our supremacy was unchallenged. Yet Odin stopped at nine realms. Our destiny is to rule over all others. And I am here to restore that power.
