Here it is! This took forever to finally write, but I proudly present my Steve/Bucky Bonnie & Clyde AU! (And yes, I mean the musical.)

Lyrics from some of the songs and quotes from the actual production are in here and you can listen to the full soundtrack on youtube, which I highly recommend.

Enjoy!

Prologue: Picture Show

Spring, 1918

"Steve?! Steven Rogers, come on! We're late enough as it is," a young blonde woman took the wrist of a ten year old boy and gently pulled him along.

"I don't want to go," the boy whispered back.

The woman sighed and leaned down to look at her son. "Sweetheart, I know it's hard, but your daddy's in a better place now. Come on." They walked into the church as the funeral started.

Several hundred miles away, a shot sounded.

A young dark haired boy shot at invisible enemies, jumping around as sneakily as any eleven year old could.

"Ain't nothing I can't do with a gun." he nodded to himself as his mother yelled, "James Buchanan Barnes!" She strode over, anger clear on her face.

She shook the dead chicken in his face. "I hope you know how to lay eggs!"

He smirked back at her. "I hope you know how to fry chicken!"

She rolled her eyes at her son and grabbed the rifle. "Go help your pa pack up," she ordered.

He frowned and asked, "Why do we gotta move anyways?"

His father answered grumpily, "Don't own the land and they don't wanna pay me to take care o'it anymore." He shrugged. "You're gonna like West Dallas."

"But it's the devil's back porch!"

"Steven Grant Rogers! You watch your mouth!"

Steve rolled his eyes. "I didn't give it that name, ma. That's what everyone calls West Dallas. Why can't we stay in Rowena?"

His mother answered without looking at him. "With your daddy gone, we can't afford to. Grandma needs help anyhow, Steve. You know that."

Fall, 1924

"Please be careful, Bucky," Natalie Barnes clung to her elder brother, tears on her lashes.

"Course I will, Nattie." He pulled away and offered her a grin. "I'll be back before you know it."

He put on his hat and pushed her hair behind her ear. "They say the war'll be over before I even get there. Don't you worry, sis. I'll be fine." He hugged her tightly.

She shook slightly as she watched him grab him bag, uniform perfect and shoes shiny. "Love you."

He smiled at her and said, "I love you too."

Then he headed off to war.

"You are too young to be getting married Steve!"

"I am 16 years old, ma! I can't enlist, but I've got a job. I love Peggy. We're gonna be happy together!"

"Marrying Peggy won't get you out of here!"

Summer, 1926

Natalie swept her red hair back as her eyes darted around the train station, anxiously searching for her brother.

Her lips stretched into a smile when she caught sight of him, though it faded when she looked more closely at him. "Bucky?"

His head rose and he locked weary, tired eyes with her. "Hey, Nattie." He tried to grin, but it mainly just came out as a grimace.

She hesitantly reached out and he pulled her into an embrace. Bucky let out a soft laugh, "You've grown."

She smiled up at him, but didn't comment on the fact that it had been a little over two years since they had last seen each other.

Instead she carefully gripped his arm and murmured, "Come on, let's go home."

"Steve-" Peggy's brown eyes followed her husband as he paced back and forth from her spot in their bed.

Steve shook his head, refusing to acknowledge what she was saying.

She frowned, fingers toying with her skirt as she pointed out softly, "I'm not gonna make it, Steve."

He ran a hand through his hair and let out a shaky breath, but he didn't respond to her comment.

She coughed heavily, blood splattering onto her crumpled handkerchief, before murmuring gently, "I love you."

Steve sat down heavily on the bed beside her and placed his head in his hands.

His voice broke as he responded, "I love you too, Peggy."

"I need to do something, Nat. I can't stand just sitting around!" Bucky paced, every inch of him radiating tension.

Natalie offered, "We could go fishing or-"

"No! I-" Bucky shook his head, raking his hand through his hair. "I need to do something to get my blood pumping." His head shot up suddenly as a dawning expression came onto Natalie's face.

They locked eyes and said together, "Car Jacks."

Car Jacks was a game they had invented when they were young and bored. They would jump start a random car and take it for a joy ride until they came across another. Then they would repeat it again and again until they got caught.

They both stood and eagerly left, Natalie with a grin on her face and Bucky with a dark look in his eye.

Steve tried to laugh at Tony's joke, but it fell flat.

Tony pursed his lips and stared at him. "We need to do something to get you out of this slump, Steve."

He shook his head, "It's not that simple, Tony."

Tony grinned and said, "I can grab my old man's whiskey and we can get you to forget about you-know-who?"

Steve paused and casted a glance at his friend. After a moment, he nodded. "Why not?"

Fall , 1931

Bucky glared at the judge as the bailiff called out, "James Buchanan Barnes. Natalie Alison Barnes, you been found guilty of one count of burglary and two counts of auto theft. You're both sentenced to serve two years in the McLennan county jail."

Natalie was finger printed and had her pictures taken first with Bucky following, a growing frown on his face.

Steve sighed as he tied his apron around his waist and grabbed a rag to clean off the counter.

"Hey, Steve!" A grinning Tony Stark came in, his new uniform on.

"Hey Tony." Steve poured him a cup of coffee.

"So, this Saturday some friends of mine are having a party. You wanna come?"

"Sure, Tony."

"Tony!" A stern looking Chester Phillips, Steve's boss, held out a phone. "Call for you."

Tony stood and glanced at Steve. "I'll pick ya up at seven?"

Steve offered a grin. "Sounds good."

He, as always, finished up his shift and headed home, several hours later.

{I wanna be like Clara Bow.}

{I wanna be like Al Capone.}

And cut!

I know that the first World War didn't happen in the '20's, but for the purpose of this story, it did. (Hey, it's fan fiction, I can do what I want.)

Hopefully the next chapter will be out within the next week.

Please review!
