2016

They’re bedded down under the stars in the Gibson Desert in Australia because neither of them had ever been to Australia before and (most likely) no one would think to look there. Bucky had suggested leaving because he had no place in New York with the Avengers, and he honestly didn’t want to fight anymore. (Not until the debt was called in.)

It had surprised nobody but him when Steve said he’d be going, too. And Bucky had tried (half-heartedly) to argue, but Steve had just grabbed both his hands, looked him right in the eyes, and said, “The world can save itself next time. My place is with you – unless you don’t want me there.”

And he could’ve lied so that Steve would stay with the heroes… but he just couldn’t.

So they left and wandered around. Saw the Grand Canyon. Went to Disneyland and World. Checked out Universal Studios and Six Flags and all sorts of stupid touristy crap in the United States, since neither of them had ever had the time to travel except – well.

“Where to next?” Steve had asked one bright morning.

“What about Australia?” Bucky suggested.

And here they are.

“Bucky, you awake?” Steve asks softly.

“Yup,” Bucky answered just as quietly.

He heard Steve take a deep breath. He held it for almost five minutes before exhaling to say, “There’s something I need to tell you.”

.

Steve traded his soul to an angel calling itself Akrasiel for Bucky’s life.

“It was a trick, Steve,” Bucky mutters. “I never died.”

“Yeah,” Steve agrees. “You weren’t dead. but that doesn’t mean you woulda come back if Akrasiel hadn’t made the deal.”

Bucky sighs in disgust. He knows he won’t win this argument.

He also slaps Steve upside the head because “You were just prayin’ wide open? Anything coulda answered. Would you have dealt with anyone who showed up?”

Steve’s sulky silence is answer enough so Bucky swats him again.

.

Akrasiel will call on Steve for a major conflict, along with the souls of various other warriors, healers, and peacemakers. That’s all Steve knows.

They silently stare at the stars, curled up together, before Bucky says, “There’s something you should know.”

.

Steve, of course, slaps Bucky upside the head because “You don’t even know its’ name!?”

“Well, apparently my ma’s family has been calling on it for centuries!” Bucky argues. “So, it’s sorta like a guardian angel or something!”

Steve just swats him again.

.

As the sun is rising, Bucky asks the question that’s been bothering him since the shadow told him its brother had claimed Steve.

“What if we’re on opposite sides?”

Steve turns his head to look at Bucky. “You think a little thing like that could become between us?”

Bucky smiles, leaning across the tiny space that separated them to kiss Steve with as much love as he can.

(Also, you know how the MCU turned Norse gods into advanced aliens? Yup.

What foolishness are you doing now? Michael asks as Akrasiel returns from Earth. That is by far most angels’ favorite name for the world, though it has many, of course. As do all the worlds. It is populated by the shortest-lived species in all of the worlds, and their brief lifespans are quite fascinating. They manage to pack in so much for such a short amount of time. Michael’s favorite are called the Mitsukurina owstoni. Akrasiel has chosen to no longer mock Michael for it.

Quite a few of the angels enjoy playing games with the natives of Earth.

I’ve helped a poor boy, is all, Akrasiel says. I’ve given him hope.

Michael sighs. Surely that glimpse of the other world was enough to show us all that the creatures of Earth are to be observed, not interacted with.

Of course, Michael, Akrasiel says. I’m tired. Please, excuse me.

Akrasiel’s nest is far out of the way. Ozryel is already there.

Akrasiel holds out Steven Grant Rogers’ shining soul. Ozryel grins, flicking James Buchanan Barnes’ shimmering soul into the air between them.

There is a war coming. They both can feel the Mad Titan drawing ever closer, but even Michael, as yet, has not noticed.

And now, Ozryel says, pulling Akrasiel into the nest, we wait.

O M F G!

Mind = BLOWN

*snickers* Thank you for reading!

Poor, silly boys. Played like children. I have a shocking fondness for angels and their shenanigans, so thank you for indulging me! Fingers crossed they get to triumph in the oncoming war!

OMG, Bucky and Vlad Dracula, so awesome. <3

I'm so very glad you like it!

I choose to believe they win.

Yeah, Bucky descended from Vlad Dracula has become my headcanon, mainly due to Darth Stitch's fics. *hee*

Aw yes. This was great. The fact that Steve sold his soul too was a nice twist!

Thank you so very much!
