It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it a Sam/Sam ship?

Maybe "free birds" because the American eagle is a symbol of America, and Steve is Captain America after all.

Then they're both birds, and no one is free.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Why the !#$@ is there so much fluff in the MCU? I want complex and emotionally satisfying stories about three-dimensional characters struggling in a world that's shades of grey, and 95% of what appears to be out there is YAY! FAMILY! TEAM! SLEEPOVERS!

I admit, I enjoy the fluff. But, yes, there is a surprisingly large percentage of it in the fandom.

Have you read Homefront by Copperbadge? It starts out fluffy with video-gaming and getting Steve drunk, but then [broad plot spoilers and possible triggery issues] goes on to explore issues of PTSD, self-medication, and suicide. I think it's a good story.
