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
Every year on the night before Allison Argent's birthday, Stiles brings a bouquet of hyacinth and a bottle of whiskey to her grave. It’s a useless gesture, seeing as she’s already dead, but he hasn’t missed a birthday since they were seventeen. Tonight, her bones turn twenty-six. Tonight, something changes in a momentous way and Stiles is deposited into the past. Into Beacon Hills, days before Peter gives Scott the bite. Armed with future knowledge, he sets to righting his wrongs and manipulating the past to keep Allison from dying as a girl. Saving Laura Hale from her violent end throws everything in the air and leaves Stiles with more moving parts than he knows what to do with. The road to redemption is far from smooth – he’s stuck in his sixteen year old body, his ex-boyfriend is an emo kid again, and the barely sane Peter Hale won’t stop taking his shirt off.
Even if it means aligning himself with the very attractive but very dangerous Peter Hale, Stiles is going to save them all.

Summary
“What is all this?”
“Keys to Steve’s place in Brooklyn, and his motorcycle. Some records about his, ah, accounts and things. He—well, he hasn’t been declared officially dead, we can’t, you know, say anything about the time travel, but—”
“He’s not coming back,” says Bucky, before Banner has to try to couch it softly, or spare Bucky’s assumed feelings. It’s a courtesy Bucky doesn’t need. His feelings have seemed very far away since Steve left. “I know.”
"Yeah, so, uh, I just figured you should have all this."
Bucky is doing fine after the Blip. He has his amends, he has his exit strategies, he goes to therapy. Steve's gone, but that's fine, Bucky can deal with that, even if he can't deal with feeling like a ghost in the apartment that Steve left behind. But when Steve returns, they'll both have to deal with how to rebuild a friendship and a home that are haunted by the ghosts of who they used to be. Their methods of doing so are perhaps less than ideal, what with how they involve more sex and stealthy surprise interior decoration than any actual communication. Maybe that's all they need to make a new home together.

Summary
Peter meets his eyes and takes a breath: “Chris is coming.”
Stiles drops his comic, feels his jaw go with it.
“DUDE. College Chris-Chris? The almost-happened that never did? The one you get all weepy about when you insist you can handle your rye but we both know you actually can’t handle it at all and I let you drink it because it makes you weepy and cute?”
“I do not get weepy.”
