This one doesn’t even hit my historical boner, it hits my I’d love to be able to travel between Queens and Brooklyn without three train changes and two pack mules boner.
Hah, I’m a terrible person; my first instinct is to say, they got drunk. Am I projecting? Maybe. Drinking’s a competitive sport here. Anyway, I really like this question, this is a good question. So, are we talking what they did as kids, or what they did as grownups? Let’s do both! I like both.
There’s not one way to experience this borough or city, and if I ever claim there’s a right way to “Brooklyn” then please punch me in the face immediately. So what I want to do instead is give you some options! Let’s base them off of fandom tropes, shall we?

HTB posts will be general topics only to save my sanity, but I’m happy to answer more specific questions privately or in a less sprawling format.

Well, let’s see. Okay, so as we know, Bucky was born in 1917 and Steve was born in 1918. So, chronologically, Bucky just turned 100 this year, and Steve will turn 100 next year.
But biologically, thats a different story.
Steve went into the ice in 1945, shortly after Bucky fell, and Bucky fell right before his birthday that year.
So, with that in mind, that means when Steve and Bucky died the first time, Bucky was 27, with Steve being 26.
Steve was found in 2011, 66 years after he went in the ice, and thus resumed bioligcal aging.
With that in mind, as of right now, he would be about 32.
(I say about 32, because if you go off the date he was found, and resume from there, he may be biologically younger by a few months, if he was found after his birthday.)
Bucky, though, is another story. We have no idea how long he was left in cryo each time, or how long he was out for.
So, with that in mind, he could be a couple extra years older than Steve, or even a couple decades. But, scientifically, since they both age at an extremely slow rate, it probably doesn’t make as much of a difference.

↳ “I watched a lot of documentaries on post-traumatic stress and a lot of army documentaries about the training programs and some of the extreme sort of circumstances that some of those guys that are training to be Navy SEALs and some who are a part of it go through. I was trying to understand what it is, what it means for someone to be desensitised, to no longer question hurting something. I did as much research on all that stuff as I could in order to kind of know what that was like.”
