A/N: So...this came along a lot faster than I thought it would. It's the last of the movie Avengers, Steve. Enjoy!

They both prefer the air in New York, no matter how clean the English countryside smells.
02 – Apples
"Irony of all ironies, Captain America is allergic to apples."
03 – Beginning
"You're beginning to make me paranoid."
"Only beginning?"
04 – Bugs
Steve never had a problem with bugs until Dawn recounted her sister's troubles with the Order of Taraka.
05 – Coffee
It's an unwritten rule that Steve is not allowed to brew coffee in their apartment.
06 – Dark
Growing up in Sunnydale gave Dawn a real reason to be scared of the dark; Steve gave her a reason to leave the light on at night.
07 – Despair
"Don't despair soldier, I'll save you from the monsters."
08 – Doors
There are no doors in their apartment other than the front entrance; they both prefer the openness.
09 – Drink
"Metabolism or not, take the drink Steve."
10 – Duty
"It's not your job!"
"No, it's my duty!"
11 – Earth
Whenever Dawn goes off on one of her spirited rants about magick and its connection to the Earth, Steve can't help but smile.
12 – End
"At the end of it all you have to remember: we're only human."
13 – Fall
Steve doesn't think anything will scare him half as much as she did the first time he saw her fall.
14 – Fire
"I may or may not have a thing about fire."
"Is this a good 'thing' or a bad 'thing'?"
15 – Flexible
For a man of his size, Steve is surprisingly flexible.
16 – Flying
"It feels like flying!"
17 – Food
Steve is one of the only people who will try Dawn's odd food combinations without cringing.
18 – Foot
"Don't stop on my account, I enjoy watching you stick your foot in your mouth."
19 – Grave
Both of them expected an early grave years ago.
20 – Green
"So…you glow?"
"Green, yes. But only to crazy people!"
21 – Head
"Goddess you can be so thick-headed sometimes!"
22 – Hollow
They were both built from scratch, made hollow and filled by the expectations of others.
23 – Honor
"You have something that they don't."
"What's that?"
"Honor."
24 – Hope
Dawn introduces the little girl as Hope, and she manages to crawl up under his ribcage the same way that she did.
25 – Light
"There is a light, okay? But you should never be afraid to follow it."
26 – Lost
He was lost in the twenty-first century until he ran into the petite bookstore owner on the crowded London streets.
27 – Metal
Dawn can't help but think that Steve is much like the cool metal of the shield he carries: unbreakable, sturdy, reliable, and immovable.
28 – New
"Everything must seem new to you I suppose."
29 – Old
Sometimes, when he's listening to Dawn and Darcy speaking a mile a minute about 'tropes' and 'memes' and internet 'rules', Steve can't help but feel old.
30 – Peace
They've had the war versus peace argument too many times to count, and it always ends the same: with the two of them agreeing to disagree.
31 – Poison
"Poison fruit and an evil witch, now the wedding's perfect!"
32 – Pretty
If you ask Steve, pretty doesn't even begin to describe her.
33 – Rain
Rainy days make Dawn oddly reflective, causing her to sit for hours on end until Steve finally tracks her down.
34 – Regret
"We all have regrets."
"Even Captain America?"
"Especially Captain America."
35 – Roses
When an overzealous fan sends Steve a bouquet of roses on valentine's day, he has to have JARVIS dispose of them because Dawn's eyes are watering from the strength of her sneezing.
36 – Secret
When they first meet, neither of them expects the secret that the other hides.
37 – Snakes
"My sister nearly got eaten by a giant snake on multiple occasions, so stop thinking about how irrational my fear is and get it out of here!"
38 – Snow
Dawn and Steve could spend hours in the snow acting like the children they never were.
39 – Solid
Dawn doesn't think she'll ever be able to sleep alone again after spending one night with his solid weight next to her.
40 – Spring
"A spring in your step can only mean one of two things sweetheart: either you've got very good news, or someone's about to get the talking to of their lives."
41 – Stable
"Neither of us ever claimed to be very stable."
42 – Strange
Dawn is one of the strangest people he has ever met – and he works on a team of superheroes.
43 – Summer
Summer for them means a quaint bookstore in London and picnics in the countryside.
44 – Taboo
They both have their taboos; things they will not do and lines they refuse to cross, but they work through whatever problems they may cause.
45 – Ugly
"I've seen the pre-serum pictures Steve and you were never ugly; in fact, you were kind of cute."
46 – War
Dawn expects the PTSD – Steve fought in a war for Goddess' sake! – so she makes sure she's always there to soothe the nightmares.
47 – Water
Steve will always have a slight issue with large bodies of water, but Dawn does her best to help him work through it.

A/N: So this pairing came about one day, and I started a fic. A so far incomplete fic to which a few of these sentences actually reference.
To all of the people who have reviewed so far, thanks so much for the positive encouragement! Keep reading and I'll hopefully update regularly. No promises since I'm a senior and the next few weeks are gonna be hectic!
