    Summary

    Even though it’s only been eight years, it feels like Steve hasn’t been home in decades. He half expects the buildings rising around him to be futuristic sci-fi buildings and floating maybe, or at least bright purple. The music coming through his earbuds – comfort music playlists he compiled as a teenager and never bothered to outgrow – is enough to calm him momentarily; he is still, all ten fingernails left alone and unchewed, but it will only last so long.

    (alternately known as, what if Steve's sense of alienation and returning followed him across every universe, and what if in this one, Bucky played the cello.)
