FONDUE.

[quigonejinn]

So. Peggy is her middle name, and Carter is her maiden name, and she married Howard after? And Tony has to tell Cap all that, plus that his mother and father spun out on a patch of ice on Long Island one winter because they were fighting, and one or both of them were doing it drunk? And the contempt in his voice when he talks about his mother is the reason for that first, instinctive dislike that Steve has for him, right? Because Steve doesn't know the tired, bitter woman Maria became once the war was over and life and opportunity began to contract and contract and contract until marrying Howard looked like the only chance for freedom she had left, and we know how that turned out. The end of the war was bad for both of them, good for Howard's bank account.

Right? Right. Fuck the timeline.

FONDUE indeed.

[quigonejinn]

I laughed like a loon. :D

IT'S JUST BREAD AND CHEESE. idk, girl. it could be interesting, you know? IF DONE WELL. I WOULD TRUST YOU. I DON'T CARE, REALLY, as long as no one's shoving Steve/Tony in my face? WHATEVER. I'M AN ALL-CAPS ASSHOLE. CHRIS EVANS IN WHITE BABYDOLL TSHIRTS. LET'S ALL SEE IT THREE MORE TIMES.

I am curious what your Steve/Tony distaste stems from -- I mean, yeah, there is a shit-ton of terrible Steve/Tony, but that's true of everything these days.

(When he rolled out of the Vita-ray blaster with those muscles, I thought of you and laughed, like, a lot.)

MY DREAMS.

[quigonejinn]

No lie. In the scene after that, when he is jogging around, I was distracted by the jiggling of the pecs.

Steve, finding out that the Dodgers moved to LA.

[kickthebeat]

ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME. Steve's complete indignation upon realising the Dodgers are coached by a former Yankee.


I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken my irritation out on you, but Steve/Tony shippers are absolutely wretched 99% of the time. it's one thing in the comics but they haven't met in the movies yet, YET IT IS ALREADY ON MY FLIST. Steve/Bucky, Steve/Peggy, Steve/Howling Commandos, Tony/Pepper, Tony/Natasha, Tony/Rhodey ... jesus, basically any other pairing makes more sense. I AM GETTING TIRED OF TWO WHITE GUYS PAIRINGS.

I AM GETTING TIRED OF TWO WHITE GUYS PAIRINGS.

I hear you. This is similar to my feelings about Charles/Erik, especially when the morons turn it into some kind of. Fluffy summer romance, full of spooning? I can't even tell you. I don't have any of it on my f-list.

(The only Steve/Tony I've ever read is wiredlizard's. Steve and Tony go on a camping trip, and the sex is raging hot! The end! I've pretty much refused to read anything else.)

(Steve, watching SportsCenter in the morning with a bowl of cereal, neatly dressed because he still isn't used to the idea that the guys on television can't see you back. Things that Steve went into the ice before: the Super Bowl.)

Maria Hill tries to comfort Steve by teaching him the power of saying "lolol I banged your mom," but then it comes out that Steve left the 40s without his cherry popped and the whole thing backfires.

[quigonejinn]

I keep trying to think of something witty to say to this, but the idea of Maria Hill telling Steve that? And Steve's expression? SOLID GOLD.

[ventureforth]

I want this story so badly.

DO IT. WRITE ALL THE SAD PEGGY FUTURE-FIC.

Also, yes, Gabby's thing below about "banged your mom except whoops I'm totally the world's oldest hottest virgin"? ACCURATE. COMPLETELY ACCURATE.

You know Tony would be like "OH, HEY. MAN. I can fix that for you! Do you need a hooker? I have all the hookers. How about Miss July, is that appropriately patriotic? LEMME MAKE A PHONE CALL."

[quigonejinn]

"You don't like Maxim? How about Playboy? Hef has personally tried most of 'em out, but if that's what gets you -- they had Playboy back in your day, right?"

(SAD, SAD, FUTURE PEGGY FIC. I DIG IT.)
