Saturday night drabble.

Day 12

In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a podfic, an icon, a sketch, a meta, or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Cross stitch. Draft an essay about a particular medium. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of book you love, a ship manifesto, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Create something. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Golden State, 100 words, MCU. Thanks to fandom-chat for helping with the commas.

Fresh fruit all year, that was a plus. A backyard garden, also nice – oranges, once an almost unspeakable luxury, now free for the taking whenever he wanted one. No subway to speak of and hardly any buses, but it was more walkable than it seemed at first. And a place without quite so many memories, well. But that part he wasn’t sharing. Not yet, at least, not when oranges were enough.

“What, are you planning on opening a west coast branch?” Tony asked him when Steve said where he was moving.

He’d had to laugh: “I’m just following the Dodgers.”

A change of scenery, and a place where he can have the quiet life, at least when the world isn't under immediate threat. Oh, STEVE.

Oh, this is really sweet! I love the last line in particular, because yeah, of course he would!

Nice to see a proper old-school drabble! You can say a lot in a drabble, and the first paragraph is full of meaning.

I love the little idea of "West Coast Avengers"!

Also have to love the idea of Tony being like, "you know I have a mansion in Malibu. Wait. Pepper, did that fall into the ocean? where are we at with that mansion??"

Absolutely, the oranges just grow on trees!!!! how amazing is that!!! my dad, who was born in 1930, still celebrated at Christmas time with oranges for all.

I love the voice you establish for Steve. Perfect! His little rationalizations and trying to see the upside.

Yesss...We Californians will steal all your superheroes with high quality produce and terrible public transportation.

This is really charming. I don't think I've seen a story that has Steve anything other than bitter about the Dodgers moving.
