Fanon
On AO3, Staron is the most written romantic ship for Sharon and the tenth most written for Steve. There are many comic fans who ship Steve and Sharon, although many MCU fans disapprove the couple. This is mostly due to the differences between the dynamics in the comics compared to MCU. In the comics, the relationship between the two characters is well-established with both characters having mutual respect; while in the MCU, it doesn't get enough buildups and gets overshadowed by other relationships of Steve's. Furthermore, some MCU fans are disappointed that Steve doesn't look for Sharon after she has become a fugitive for helping him.
