Summary
“If you’re not going to join the ranks of the illustrious Avengers, what are you going to do?”
Bucky grins, a shark’s smile that looks like it could snap at any moment. “I’m going to go home.”
Sam just smiles back at him, like he doesn’t have any idea what exactly Bucky’s talking about.
How exactly did Steve and Bucky end up where they did fifteen years later in ‘Interesting Times’ and ‘Light a Flamethrower’? Well, it was a long journey, but every story has to start somewhere. These are the first few steps into the future.

“Do you know the story of Hanukkah?” Michael asks, and Steve’s not sure if he’s talking to him or Joey.
“I’ve, uh, I’ve heard the basics,” Steve eventually says, bouncing Joey in his arms a couple of times. “One day’s worth of oil keeping the menorah lit for eight instead, I think.”
The first night of Hanukkah, 2021, and a house filled with restless souls. Even in the middle of the night, however, there’s always a little light to be found.

Yeah, Darcy Lewis has some magic in her, but that doesn't mean she's inherently good at it. At least it's her husband that she's accidentally swapped bodies with.

Summary
There’s an old phrase that says ‘May you live in interesting times.’ After fifteen years of living quiet, almost idyllic lives, Steve and Darcy have pretty much embraced that normality and are happy their lives are decidedly uninteresting.
Of course it's too good to last. Especially when their kids are involved.
Inspired by the movie ‘The Incredibles.’

Summary
“You know, your dad kinda looks like Captain America in this picture here.”
Occam’s Razor states that the simplest explanation is usually the right one. But, when you’re dealing with a story as complex as Joey’s family history, sometimes the simplest explanation usually gets overlooked for stranger and more creative answers.
A.k.a. - When Joey discovers the strong resemblance between his father and Captain America, and his uncle and Bucky Barnes, he puts two plus two together...and comes up with 1500. Sometimes the truth is that simple, even if it’s equally as unbelievable.

Summary
So...that happened. Thanos snapped his fingers, and the universe turned upside down. Now, a very pregnant Darcy is stuck in New Mexico, half a world away from Steve, who’s still in Wakanda. The plan is to get Darcy and Jane to Wakanda sooner rather than later, but given that one part of the population is screaming that the Apocalypse is nigh, another part is all too happy to take advantage of the resulting lawlessness, and that some of the rules of the universe seem to have been re-written, that may be easier said than done. But, Darcy and Jane aren't going to take this lying down.
Come hell or high water, they're going to make it through, safe and whole.
An Interesting Times/Incrediblesverse story...kind of.

Summary
As any parent will tell you, raising children is one of the hardest things around. Raising children who have superpowers, in a world that may not accept them for who they are, is even tougher. And sometimes the safest thing to do is train those kids so that they can keep their abilities under control...and maybe, someday far, FAR in the future, use them to help others.
In the meantime, Steve and Darcy will be happy if their kids manage to keep the house and backyard in one piece while they try to get their powers under control.
A.k.a. Steve Rogers’ guide to training up superpowered people in a few simple steps, featuring contributions from much saner and far less reckless people such as Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, and Darcy Lewis.
