Steve's attempt to rejoin could also lead to internal conflicts within the Avengers. Some members might be open to the idea of having him back, while others might oppose it. This could split the team into different factions. Meanwhile, Steve would be in a difficult position as he tries to convince them that he is indeed the Steve they once knew, while also dealing with any threats that are out there that he wants to help the Avengers fight against.
The plot could develop in a way that Steve has to earn their trust again. He might start by helping the Avengers in small ways without revealing his true identity at first. As he does this, he could gradually form new relationships with the team members. However, some of the Avengers might be more difficult to convince than others, like Tony Stark who might be very skeptical.
One possible reason could be memory alteration. Maybe some villain has the power to manipulate memories and has erased Steve from the Avengers' minds. This would create an interesting plot where Steve has to find a way to make them remember him again.
It could start slowly. Maybe they first notice each other during a lecture at Avengers University. Steve is intrigued by Natasha's quiet confidence, and Natasha is curious about Steve's old - fashioned values. They gradually become friends as they study together in the library. As time passes, they find themselves thinking about each other more and more, and eventually, their friendship turns into a romantic relationship.
Steve would probably be quite honest. He might just come clean and start sharing his experiences as a young man. He'd want the Avengers to understand that he's still the same person at his core.
The Avengers' reactions would be diverse. Captain Marvel, if she's part of the group, might be very matter - of - fact about it. Rhodey could be a bit bemused. Steve and Bucky, in the meantime, would be dealing with the embarrassment of being caught in what might be a very personal moment. The situation could also lead to some new conversations within the Avengers about personal boundaries and relationships among the team members.
With the Avengers finding out Steve is gay, his relationships would evolve. For instance, Sam Wilson would be extremely supportive. He and Steve already have a great friendship, and this would only add another layer to it. Steve's relationship with Bruce Banner might also change. Bruce, who often feels like an outcast himself, could relate to Steve on a different level. They might have more in - depth conversations about acceptance and self - identity. And Steve's connection with Rhodey could strengthen as Rhodey is a man of honor and would respect Steve no matter what. Overall, Steve's relationships with the Avengers would become more multifaceted and based on a deeper understanding of one another.
It's hard to say exactly how hungry Steve is in Avengers fanfiction. It could be that he's starving after a long mission or not at all if the story doesn't focus on that aspect. It all depends on the author's imagination and the direction of the story.
Well, it's not super common but it does exist. There are different reasons for this kind of plot. Maybe the writer wants to explore the consequences of a breakdown in their relationship. They had their differences in the movies, like in 'Civil War', and some fanfic writers take it to an extreme by having Tony kill Steve to show how far things can go wrong when they can't resolve their issues.
Steve's character can become more vulnerable and introspective. He might question his role as a leader and a hero. For instance, he could start to think that he's a burden to the team because of his illness.
Their relationship could develop through shared experiences. For example, fighting side by side against Ultron's forces would build trust. Steve might admire Natasha's skills and her ability to adapt, while Natasha could be drawn to Steve's unwavering sense of justice.
I really like 'Bucky's Redemption'. In this fanfic, Bucky is on a journey to fully come to terms with his past actions while Steve is there to support him every step of the way. It shows their loyalty to each other in a very touching way. There are some intense emotional moments as Bucky struggles with his guilt and Steve tries to pull him out of the darkness.
