Endgame Prompts & Recs  
This originally started as a list of things I wanted see after watching Endgame but then I never posted it. And then I kept reading fics that fit the themes so I started to collate everything in to a big rec list.

These are fics that are specifically curated for my own personal preferences but if you love Team Cap, Team Thor and Team Gamora & Nebula, and maybe weren't entirely too happy with how Endgame turned out then you will probably enjoy these fics as well.

They are roughly ordered by character and ship but they contain all manner of relationship permutations both platonic and romantic and there is some overlap so check the tags. There are also a couple of WIPs that I forgot to mark so read at your own risk.

This will also hopefully be updated in time as I find more fics for the missing gaps.


Everybody Lives

Natasha
  • Gets a funeral
    • Twenty Minutes (1872 words) by kuiske - Steve wanted to glare at her and remind her that the last five years sure hadn’t been full of stoic acceptance on her part either, so she could damn well stop judging and let them do this for her. Yeah, she’d just have to roll her eyes and power through.
    • Nothing Lasts Forever; Or, an Endgame Fix to Give Natasha the Respect She Deserves (5661 words) by edith - writing the endgame scenes the writers should have written. aka, natasha romanoff gets her funeral. steve & bucky actually get time together. (what? crazy!) & maybe, just maybe, her family gets to properly mourn her sacrifice. oh, and buckynat gets a slight callback.
  • Meets Gamora in the Soul Stone
  • Rescues herself from the Soul Stone
    • Fair Trade (785 words) by Amy - The rules are clear. Soul for a soul.
    • born in fire (again and again) (4131 words) by defcontwo - Natasha lands, in dust and sand and light, in the middle of a great landscape of nothingness. She sits up, and touches one hand to the back of her head, and it comes away wet and sticky with blood. There’s copper in the back of her mouth, and she spits it out into the sand, watching with satisfaction as the blood splatters into the otherwise pristine surface. “Huh,” Natasha says. “So this is death.” 
    • when i die i’ll sacrifice (more than enough for the afterlife) (41443 words) by notcaycepollard - The fall is longer than Natasha expects. It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.
  • Rescues herself and Gamora from the Soul Stone (or vice versa)
Natasha & Steve
  • Steve & Natasha during those 5 years
    • lights will guide you home (12047 words) by crinklefries - “Seems fucked up,” Natasha snorts. He hears her rustling on the other end and he knows that she, too, is struggling with her guilt. “To be left behind and feel guilty about it.” Steve laughs lowly, but it’s a sad, desperate, wrinkled thing. He passes a hand over his face. “What do we do, Nat?” he asks. “Where do we go from here?” There’s a silence so long he thinks Natasha’s finally fallen asleep. Then, the sound of rustling, again. “Forward, Steve,” she says, quietly. “We go forward.”
  • Steve resurrects Natasha when he returns the Soul Stone
  • Steve resurrects Natasha and Gamora when returns the Soul Stone
  • Steve resurrects Natasha when he returns the Soul Stone and they both stay in the 1940s
    • life, the one you get (2672 words) by toujours_nigel - "I was speaking to some of Maria's friends," Nat said while those friends--some women in bridesmaids dresses at any rate--got lushly drunk and weepy over Maria resplendent in her white gown. "They speak very highly of the collegiate experience."
Steve & Peggy
  • Steve goes back to the 1940s, stays there and:
  • Steve goes back to the 1940s to see Peggy but doesn't stay there
  • Steve & Peggy in 1970
    • 1970 (933 words) by rachlovesligers - What if Peggy had seen Steve watching her from her office?
    • In This Life (885 words) by marvelistakingovermylife - Steve gets more than one surprise when he finds himself in Peggy Carter's office by mistake, and learns something about himself.
  • Steve brings Peggy to the future because who cares about the rules of time travel
Steve & Peggy & Bucky
  • Steve goes back to the 1940s and both him and Peggy rescue Bucky
    • raw sugar (1940 words) by ElisAttack - Sometimes he thinks about the Steve Rogers of this timeline. Slumbering, encased in ice at the bottom of the ocean with no end in sight, and he thinks; good. At least that poor bastard has finally caught a break. Or the one where Steve has loved two people his entire life, and both of them have no idea who, or what, he is.
Peggy
  • How does Peggy deal with the fact that Steve is different (no one is the same person they were 10 years ago)
    • some far off star (2794 words) by Contra - Steve comes back to Peggy, but it doesn't take her long to notice - he came back different.

  • Steve's journey to return the stones
    • let's hear it for captain america (6671 words) by sidnihoudini - He’s lost and found Bucky so many times that watching him plunge into the blue-icy Danube River almost feels like a prologue.
    • like heaven stood up in you (9833 words) by napricot - “You said you were gonna miss him,” says Bruce slowly. “He was supposed to be back in five seconds, but you hugged him and said ‘I’m gonna miss you.’” Bucky’s face is serene again now, and gives nothing away. “I know Steve,” he repeats. “You think you can hand him a time machine and some rocks of unspeakable power and he’s just gonna go put ‘em right back where they belong?” Steve does put the Infinity Stones right back where they belong. He just does a couple other things too. Or: three timelines and a Reverse Time Heist.
  • The Adventures of 2012!Steve
    • When People See Us (5435 words) by Brokenpitchpipe - Rumlow knocks his shoulder good-naturedly. “Hail HYDRA.” “Thanks,” Steve says automatically, “you too."

  • Have a post-battle reunion
    • Taking the Time (2729 words) by newsbypostcard - Bucky shrugs Sam off, half livid. "You think Steve's not sending a message, but I'm getting one loud and clear. I'm leaving him the fuck alone until he's ready to say his piece." But Bucky doesn't. He finds a half-dozen people in need of his help and then, against his own volition, raises his head to find Steve in the crowd. He's still a battlefield away, one hand bunched at his hip, leaning on the hammer where it's resting on a rock. Steve Rogers, god of thunder. Bucky should've predicted this ninety years back.
    • In Sight (1282 words) by Palebluedot - “What the hell was that? You went at him by yourself? With a hammer?”
  • Steve and Bucky have a conversation about Steve staying in 1940 (in a way that doesn't make me super fucking sad)

    • Full Circle (1128 words) by PR Zed - The two of them sit on the bench for the longest time, staring out at the shimmering surface of the lake in front of them, a pregnant silence building between them.

Valkyrie
  • Valkyrie as a competent King

  • Valkyrie kicks Thor's ass because it shouldn't be her problem and she's had enough of the Odinson family and their drama but she's been down that road of drinking to forget your problems before and since Thor didn't let her continue to wallow on Sakaar she's going to return the favour
Nebula & Gamora
  • Nebula during the 5 years
  • Nebula & Rocket during the 5 years
  • Nebula rescues Gamora (and maybe Natasha) from the Soul Stone
