Bookmarker's Notes
Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.
It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

Summary
Bucky wanders the hall outside, dazed, and finds himself in a supply closet three doors down. He sits on a box of spare boots and tries to process the fact that the United States Army has just, by official fiat, authorized him to fuck Steve Rogers.
No. Not fuck. "Provide specialized support." He wonders if there'll be paperwork. Two copies for the S.S.R. and one for the Brits.
They can put that on his gravestone: James Buchanan Barnes, Here Lies A Good Soldier Who Took More Than One For The Team.

Summary
When Steve returns to his Brooklyn apartment as suddenly as he’d disappeared from it, all he can do is stare and blink into the middle distance for a while, his lips still tingling with the warm buzz of kissing Bucky Barnes, heat in his cheeks still blazing.
I was just in another timeline, Steve thinks to himself, as his knees give out and he sits with a plop on his bed. Or another universe? He’s still not entirely sure what the appropriate terminology is. Or maybe he hadn’t actually visited another timeline/universe and he hadn’t seen a bunch of alternate versions of himself, all of them significantly more swole than he is, even the lady version. Maybe it had all just been a really vivid dream. Or maybe he’s had a psychotic break. Maybe there’s a gas leak in the apartment. That happens, right?
Or maybe he really did meet the possible love of his life in another universe. Now it's time for Steve to find him in this one.
[This is a side story to if I'm gonna get back to you someday, following the modern AU, non-serum version of Steve from the clusterfuck of Steves. It might not make much sense without having read that one first.]

Summary
“What’s the plural for a group of Steves?” asks Natasha, and it’s weirdly comforting that the question has a hint of whimsical hysteria to it. Good, Bucky’s not the only one who’s not dealing well with all of this.
“A clusterfuck,” he says. “A clusterfuck of Steves.”
Despite how little sense his life has made since he got on a battlefield to fight a bunch of aliens, Bucky's pretty sure he knows exactly what's happened when a much older Steve appears after the mission to return the Infinity Stones: he left Bucky behind to get his much deserved happily ever after in the past. Only then another Steve shows up, and another. And Bucky realizes he still hasn't got any idea what's going on.
What he does have is a whole lot of Steves, a fraught relationship with his own Steve, and tentative plans to leave. But the more Bucky talks to all these different versions of Steve, the more he begins to wonder if leaving really is what's best for him and his Steve, or if there's a way to make something new out of their long friendship.

Bookmarker's Notes
If Bucky’s face no longer has any features, a blurry black and white watercolor of a memory, and Sam is reduced only to the shadow of wings sprouting from his back, then Peggy is only a smear of red and Tony a blast of brilliant light and Steve's not forgetting them, he’s not.
He’s never hallucinated himself before. Maybe that’s how he knows the figure is real.
He’s Steve. From the cut of his hair to the way he fills out the black jumpsuit stretched across his shoulders.
He’s not Steve. Not any version of himself he recognizes. The face might be the same, the body… but his eyes. There’s a bright, unhinged madness in his gaze that Steve knows, even after forever trapped in the nothingness, has no reflection in his own.
He stares at Steve, head cocked to one side. Behind him, a doorway of light flickers brightly enough to make Steve’s eyes burn and water. “I’ve never met another me before,” he says, sounding curious.
