Plenty of seats for everyone. Too funny. I bet Steve And Bucky burst out laughing when they opened their gifts. And such luck the boxes were next to each other.
Howie and Jim must have coached them on their purchases.
Loved the contrast between Bucky the bar fly and Steve in the restaurant with bone china.

What a cute story! The idea of Steve and Bucky living in a retirement community is hilarious-and Jim and Howie are awesome-and kinda brilliant with their idea :)

It's fantastic to see a new fic by you here and it really doesn't disappoint and it goes without saying how much i adore how you write Steve and Bucky in this world. They're most definitely the Odd Couple. And very sneaky plotting by their buddies there ;)

This is beautiful! I love every time you revisit this AU and we get to pretend for a moment that Steve and Bucky would actually get a chance to live happily ever after.

Oh lawd! I thought this was gonna be a Gift of the Magi variant, but did those literal old geezers duped them into getting boxed seats? Never underestimate the cunning of the old ones.

This is a very good one-shot.

Oh gee what a coincidence. LOL Those sneaky friends and their self-serving gift ideas, love it. What a fun Christmas gift for us all, thank you!

Huh! Sneaky Old Men! Merry Christmas.

Giggle, giggle. Ah that’s perfect. I have a HUGE smile on my face. So good. I hope you have a wonderful festive season and a beautiful 2019. All the best.
