#ok so au where steve survives blowing up the plane due to divine intervention from zeus or something idk #(yes that’s totally what happened in canon shhh) #and he wakes up on themyscira for a second time #with all these warrior women glaring down at his washed-up body like ‘really?? again???’ #and steve has to explain to hippolyta that diana was fighting ares last time he saw her and he doesn’t even know if she’s alive #and he doesn’t expect her to believe him now that there’s no lasso of truth but to his surprise she nods and assures him #that diana is not dead yet because if she was she would sense it and that only godly intervention could have prevented his death #based on his story so she is willing to trust him #and he tells her all about diana’s adventures with him and the rest of his squad and how amazing she is and hippolyta is kinda like #‘boi you had to and fall in love with my only daughter didn’t you’ #‘WHAT no- i mean i respect her and of course i care for her but as a FRIEND i swear-’ #hippolyta’s just pinching her nose and counting to ten in her head to keep from bashing her head against the wall #so she allows steve to stay with them until he heals from his injuries sustained from the crash and/or diana returns #and once he’s healed he starts helping the amazons out with their daily tasks and they slowly warm up to him #when they realise he actually respects them and their abilities and as he heals they take it upon themselves to teach him #how to fight because clearly if he crashed his jet twice he needs help defending himself #but they don’t want to break him so they can’t do swordplay or hand-to-hand so they teach him how to use a bow instead #and it takes weeks for him to even hit the target but he’s soon an efficient marksman #and as he becomes more integrated with amazonian society they make him armour and he really becomes one of them #and when diana returns nobody knows who it is at first so the archers are martialled out to train their bows on the incoming boat #but when diana steps foot on the sand they all rush to greet her and it’s then that diana realises one amazon who’s #hanging back from the rest of the group surrounding her and congratulating her and asking questions #isn’t an amazon at all but steve in their armor carrying one of their bows and then the movie cuts to credits #because this is 100% canon and you can fight me on that
