Author: Black Dragon on the Rocks

Rating: T

Pairing: None so far, mentions of past Harry/Ginny and Steve/Peggy

Summary: Steve never thought being a good samaritan would reveal he had someone to anchor him, give him a purpose, and help him fit in the new world he had to live in. He had a son, a special 7 year old son, who was practically a mini him.

Disclaimer: I'm always forgetting to add one of these, but here it is. I don't own the Avengers, or Harry Potter. They belong to their respective owners/creators and companies that comercialize them. I do own any OC which appears on the story, and which will always be bit or secondary characters.

Warnings: NOT SLASH, Alternate Universe for both Avengers and Harry Potter, Violence, Master of Death Harry, mentions of child abuse, child neglect, and mentions of sexual abuse of a minor (nothing descriptive), Parent Steve, De-Aged Harry, Molly bashing, Ron bashing, Ginny bashing, Wizard Steve.

Timeline: Pre Avengers, Post Captain America: The First Avenger, Post The Deathly Hollows but no Epilogue (Gods I HATED it, since I am NOT a Ginevra fan).

Now according to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wikia, Steve was born in 1918 and his father died in that year during the last of World War One. The battle of the Valkyrie took place on March 4 1945.

Steve was found on April 14 2012, regained consciousness on April 17. The Avengers met on the Helicarrier on May 3, and the Battle of New York takes place on May 4 2012.

As to the Harry Potter timeline, it remains the same for this story.

Author's Note: First of all, I'm overwhelmed by the response to this fic. It has already surpassed The Hidden Life of Steve Rogers which was supposed to be my main story, I truly was not expecting it. Thanks so much to anyone who reviewed. Responses to some of you guys will be at the end of the chapter. This is also going to be a long author note, so bare with me.

Now, sorry for the long delay with this chapter, I already had it written when I posted chapter two, but I was not quite happy with it. It was too long for one, and rather rushed, still I expected to have it corrected and ready for posting within a week. It's been a month and it was going nowhere. Add to it that two other plot bunnies had practically kidnapped the muses and… well not much got done.

There have been questions about the ethics, and human rights of Peggy giving Steve's sperm to Lily (in AO3). A similar subject in Real Life is quite polemic, as there are at least two sides to it, and it's not something I really want to get into in fanfiction.

The subject deserves a serious discussion on the points of view involved, which it isn't going to get here. This is FANFICTION people, not the real world. I am using it simply as a plot device, a way to achieve what I felt was necessary for the story to get moving. It might also later contribute to the plot, although I'm not really sure of it yet.

Yes, there are other ways I could have used to make Harry Steve's son, but I wanted to explore some of them in other stories.

Also, this fic IS NOT for Weasley fans.

At least not Molly's, Ron's, and especially not Ginevra's (I don't like her, so she's bashed, killed, or not even mentioned in any Harry Potter plot bunny or fic I write). Those three Weasleys are not good here.

I actually like Molly a lot, but I wanted to try something different, and see if I could pull off bashing a character I like. Ron I don't like much, but I don't hate him, unlike Ginevra. Years after The Deathly Hollows and I still am in denial about the Epilogue.

Please stop reading if you just can't take them being bashed. You don't like it and I won't stop doing it for this story.

Well, after such a long rant… er note let's get on with the story. Responses to some reviews at the end of the chapter.
