Five Ways This Could Have Gone
What-If
Steve couldn’t believe his eyes. He blinked. Once more. He swallowed the lump in his throat and walked over, unconsciously catching his shield with one arm, shouldering his weapon over his back.

I really like all of these, especially, oddly, the second one The idea of the Skrull!Tony fighting beside the Avengers, being the hero that Tony is and loving the rest of them the way Tony does because he honestly believes he is Tony… is just really creepy and sad and very effective.

Captain America paused in front of Steve Rogers, staring at him for a moment. One blink, then another. Silently, Bucky handed Steve the shield and stepped back, “Bout time you showed up.” There was a twitch of lips and Steve ducked his head, embarrassed. Bucky nodded at Steve and walked off to where Sharon was, already taking off his cowl, most likely going to change costumes. Only one man wore the Red, White and Blue and he had returned
The level of satisfaction that the idea of Bucky handing Steve back his shield and taking the mask off gives me is hard to describe.
