（ ＶＩＤＥＯ ）
Who: peggy carter, steve rogers and all of you guys
Broadcast: amazingly, yes
Action: on the starstruck, if you're so inclined
When: current.
When: current.
[ New Year’s Eve has come and gone without anything exploding or going awfully wrong and so today is just safe enough for something else. Steve Rogers doesn’t address the network for no reason, after all. Only today he keeps looking back and eventually, calls: ]
Are you really going to stay there throughout the whole thing?
[ There’s a flicker to Steve’s left: dark curls and a flash of a silk blouse as Peggy leans into view. ] Perhaps. After all, of the two of us, you’re the one with experience in addressing the public.
[ But! Fine! Here she is, framed beside him onscreen, and refraining from making any more jokes about the old USO show. ]
Very funny.
[ but he is smiling, small but amused. For all of his experience, he seems as if he’s been practicing his lines for this one broadcast. ]
I know some of you will say this is long overdue, but after months of asking, mostly on her part, I’ve said yes and we’ve decided to get married.
[ -- and that’s when Peggy slaps the back of her hand against Steve’s shoulder, hissing something (something for him alone) about twisting the truth and tarnishing her well-earned cred. ]
I mean, after a careful observation of mutual interests, we’ve decided to get married. What this is really about is a simple matter of proving me right. I’d like you all to tell her three weeks is a perfectly reasonable duration for a honeymoon.
[ She reaches for the device, tugging its focus onto herself. ] -- For God’s sake, don’t encourage him. We’ve only just got engaged; it’s far far too early to start discussing the rest. [ Aside, to Steve: ] I warned you when I agreed to this ridiculous message. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
[ But she’s laughing. ]
It's not getting too ahead of ourselves. Call it careful consideration of facts.
[ he'll reach out and close the device for the sake of this banter. ]

In return, I'll stalk whomever you ask me to.

Three weeks is ludicrous, but one week is reasonable. Ten days, if you want to be particularly generous. You need a break.

[ god bless reason. ]
One week is more than enough. After what's happened, lately, it hardly seems prudent to push beyond it.

But I'm less concerned about what this ship might do without you two and more concerned that you might be stranded if something were to happen. If what's holding you back is us, then don't worry. I've wrangled twenty superpowered teenagers at once, and I'm sure Wilson is just as capable.

Even Max has come a damned long way.

The First Mate's not giving, but he said he would settle for two weeks. I think you should try to get it down to ten days, but he may just need two weeks with you.

[ she won't brook that kind of familiar talk. in fact, it makes her almost too uncomfortable. a button's been hit. ]

Captain. As someone who understands your point of view with painful clarity, I'm still urging you to take the two weeks.

[ but it's obvious she's merely dismissing the conversation now. whatever clarity they might share, there's a bruise here -- that gut-roiling disgust whenever she's reminded of how the office had gossiped back home. and certainly aizawa hadn't meant it like that, peggy knows it, but the pointed choice of words puts her right back in that place where she'd had to endure other people discussing her sex life barely behind her back. ]
As I said -- there's no need to get ahead of ourselves.

...Congratulations again, Captain. I wish you two all the best.
