Summary
“What no one told you about miraculously coming back from the dead was how it was a total goddamn shitshow. Because yeah, Sam was alive, and yeah, the apocalypse had been averted, sort of—he wasn’t clear on if it counted when the apocalypse had still happened but all the people who’d died came back. But at his last count, Sam had lost: five years, two best friends, a home and/or place to live, practically all of his stuff, and—okay, this one wasn’t so bad—his fugitive status. Sam had gained: Captain America’s shield and Bucky.”
How Sam and Bucky get by, after Thanos is defeated. Or: the story of how two idiots become roommates, partners, friends with benefits, and maybe something more, if they could just stop being so oblivious, while they wait to find out if their Steve’s ever coming back from his trip through time.

Summary
“There are tales, yes, of people undertaking quests with or for the Soul Stone, but they are cautionary ones. There is a reason the Soul Stone, of all the Stones, has remained hidden and unused for so long,” said Thor, disconcertingly solemn. “You know how high the cost was to gain it, to use it. It demands much, and from those who fail to provide what it demands, it takes much. You need only see the Stone’s current guardian to see that.”
From Thor of all people, this was a grave warning. Steve wasn’t about to let it dissuade him though.
“I have to try. I can’t give up on her, Thor. Natasha helped save the whole damn universe, I can’t—she deserves to have someone fight for her. If we could bring all the others back, then we have to—she should be here too.”
Steve had made the mistake of giving up once before. He wouldn’t do it again.
How Steve gets Natasha back, and how they both come back home.

Summary
“Just promise me you’ll let yourself rest and be happy. I’m pretty sure we’ve all earned that by now.”
Steve nodded and pulled Natasha into a tighter embrace, burying his face against her hair.
“Yeah. Yeah, okay. I promise.”
Natasha was right, as she so often was. They had so many reasons to be happy now, and they could have more reasons every day. It was just going to take some getting used to. Steve was looking forward to it.
Steve, Natasha, Sam, and Bucky at the beginning of their happily ever after.
