Summary
[Excerpt from the speech of chief curator Virginia M. Mecklenburg at the opening banquet of the "Captain Steven Rogers: A History Through Art" Exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, January 5, 2012]
“Welcome to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It is my pleasure to introduce to you all an exhibit that has been many years in the making. So rarely are we presented with opportunities to join art and history in a union as perfect as this one. Though Captain Steven Rogers sacrificed his life for our country more than sixty years ago, his legacy lives on in history books, documentaries, independent films, and now, thanks to our generous donors, in galleries as well. His artwork provides us with a singular perspective of pre-war American society, as well as a unique window into the soul of the American hero himself...."
Or, the life of Steve Rogers as told by biographers, art historians, tumblr users, a very enthusiastically queer college student, and the artwork of Steve Rogers himself. [Art included]

Summary
“I clocked you twenty minutes ago,” Bucky tells him, and Steve startles badly. “Then Kyla said there was 'some sad-eyed creeper at the bus stop cosplaying Captain America' and I figured I ought to head out here. What does 'cosplaying' mean?”
Steve makes a noise of strangled indignation. “I'm not even wearing the suit,“ he finally manages.
Across the street, a teenage girl glowers at Steve from a third-floor window. She's wearing a t-shirt with a picture of Angela Davis on it, and an expression of extreme distrust.
***
In which Bucky Barnes rescues the youthful human equivalent of (ง'̀-'́)ง.
Again.

Summary
“If you come for Bucky,” Steve says, “I walk.”
Fury’s voice is very, very soft when he replies. “Watch yourself, Captain.”
“Keep the shield. Keep the costume, give it to the next guy you run up the flagpole. Bucky and I will disappear, find a beach on the other side of the globe and live out our days in peace.” There’s bitterness, there at the end.

Summary
Steve’s reunion fantasies are endless and varied: Sometimes he and Bucky fight, back to back, against a nest of Hydra goons. Sometimes Bucky says Shame about the Dodgers, eh? and cuffs Steve on the back of the head. Most of them end with Steve sobbing noisily into Bucky’s Kevlar.
