For @littlestartopaz from my vast repository of prompts from her. R from this post, Steve/Bucky/Sam friendship (“This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had. Of course I’m in.”)
Okay, some stealth feelings about Steve being all alone in the 21st century snuck in there, but they’re real small and mostly this is very funny, I have no regrets. Timelines for the first two should be obvious, the third one is some time after they drag Bucky’s poor exhausted self out of cryo again and go fight more shit. Because Steve is a fighty shit and Bucky would never be able to let him run off alone and Sam is rapidly falling into the same black hole of stress.
“This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had–”
“Well, now, Buck, we both know that’s just not true,” Steve protested, half-laughing.
“The stupidest plan you’ve ever had,” Bucky repeated firmly, and knocked back the rest of his beer without breaking his scowl. “Except for that time you became a lab rat,” he allowed as he lowered his glass, “this is the stupidest.”
“So are you gonna bail on me?”
