<blockquote>Shuri's paper is refuted in a subclause of a footnote. This means war. (And somehow eventually takeout and fully-funded projects and kissing.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Diana finds her for the first time in 1947, underneath a rather heavy pile of fallen masonry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>With a pint-sized sneaker dangling somewhere near his nose, and another jabbed into his collar bone, Tony takes out the phone Steve gave him. Nearly punching the buttons, he types, Vision made my kitchen smell like Staten Island and Clint’s kid is nesting on my face. I need you to stop being a child and come home. (Or, Tony abuses the bat phone.)</blockquote> ➤ the important part here is the author's end note: <blockquote>Uhhhh. Okay. So. What you need to know here is that I worked for the UN last year. And I find the idea that they're capable of doing anything quickly, legally, or ominously incredibly insulting. I loved Cap: CW, but seriously. It's the UN. They make grand proclamations about stuff and do jack shit about it for fifty some odd years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Steve Rogers isn't a self-made man. Or, how a tough little Brooklyn fairy got turned into Captain America, and then turned back.</blockquote> ➤ GOSH. thoroughly researched and with a lot of heart. I had feelings.

<blockquote>No one knows Tony is Iron Man. Then Tony gets amnesia, and literally /no one/ knows Tony is Iron Man.</blockquote> ➤ if that summary doesn't sound inherently appealing then I don't even know what to say

<blockquote>Carol can't help it; she breaks out laughing, and as she does Janet smiles at her, smiles down at her, which is both bizarrely familiar and completely new. Carol buries her face in her hands and laughs and laughs until she feels Janet's hands around her, warm and careful, cupping her loosely, the way she might hold a butterfly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Mojo presents: Love Across the Multiverse! In tonight's episode, a battle-hardened supersoldier finds himself drawn to his handsome, genius teammate!

<blockquote>For thirty-four weeks, five days, ten hours, and sixteen minutes, your time and your body were your own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Here is a fic in which Sam, Natasha, and Bucky bake Steve a birthday cake</blockquote>

<blockquote>Okay. This looks bad. Despite being young and rich and hot and awesome, Olympic gold medalist archer Kate Bishop finds herself in a bar acting like the world’s saddest, dullest cliché: Area Twentysomething Drinks Alone Because Her Ex Is Getting Married Next Weekend. But then, from across the room, she catches the eye of a girl with a wicked smile and an even better right hook. Things start to look up after that. Now if only she could get Clint to stop humming “She wants the young American, young American, young American.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Communism is about unification, not terror and starvation." Bucky crossed his arms. "We’re fighting for a redistribution of wealth, and power in the hands of people who produce it. What are you doing for the working mothers, Stark? What does your capitalism offer the black man?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Kate’s first bow is an Olympic recurve, sleek and black with a matching leather quiver that slings over her back."</blockquote>

<blockquote>"What are you doing here?" she hisses beneath her breath as the other sales associate busies herself conspicuously at the register. "I have this under control. I know what I’m doing." "You are posing as…" The Winter Soldier lets his voice drop. "A very personal stylist.” Hawkeye rolls her eyes. “I am a personal stylist. I have a resume and everything.” "You picked out Barton’s clothing once?" The Winter Soldier says. From the fitting room, the Little Spider calls, “Can I try these in teal?”</blockquote> ➤ also on ao3 at http://archiveofourown.org/works/2507933

<blockquote>Carol likes Jess a lot. That's not the weird part. The weird part is that Carol likes Jess a lot more when Jess isn't in the room.</blockquote> ➤ or: the one about Jess's terrible pheromone powers

<blockquote>A few hours before, Steve was Captain America, flying a plane into the ice to save his country, save everyone. There's no United States of America on Earth anymore, but there's one on Mars.</blockquote> ➤ I am so into this

<blockquote>“Jane, you’re an astrophysicist, not a storm chaser,” said Erik Selvig, and he was wrong. She was just an astrophysicist too. (A Jane Foster character study)</blockquote> ➤ oh my god this is everything

<blockquote>Kate has definitely considered what would happen if she ended up in a dude's body before, but it was, like, Noh-Varr, or maybe James Deen. Somebody whose ride you'd want to take for a test drive. Kate loves Clint, but let's be real: there's only one place she's going to carry this metaphor, and that's the car wash.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Thor pulls his phone out of his pocket and lifts it above them to capture a picture of the moment, their hair lit by the sun, Jane's soft smile next to his beaming grin. The Rise filter suits the image perfectly. "I shall title this 'THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE,'" Thor says, typing carefully on the touchscreen. "With the small image of your planet, flanked by sparkling stars." "Well, we abandoned a geocentric model of the galaxy hundreds of years ago," says Jane. "'THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE,'" Thor says. He amends his caption and selects the options to crosspost from Instagram to Twitter and Facebook.</blockquote>

<blockquote>verity: man I am pretty sure the dupont nylon shortage is the grounds for a fic verity: imagine what steve would do to get peggy some nylons lazulisong: imagine what bucky would do to get steve nylons for peggy</blockquote>

<blockquote>A for effort, H-A-W-K-E-Y-E, Kate says as soon as she frees herself from her harness. They really need to come up with a real sign instead of just fingerspelling all the time. Maybe a miming drawing a bow, then pointing to the eyes. Something cool. You have to get over your boner for that boomerang arrow. "Did you just sign 'angry penis'?" Sam says, distracted from his unresolved sexual tension with Natasha. "Whatever," Kate says. She flips her hair. "I'm learning."</blockquote>

<blockquote>The screen blipped and the person reappeared, now clutching a large Ragdoll cat who was purring even as the human muffled another scream in it's fur. "Omigod. Omigod. I'm calm. I'm calm. GUYS. So you remember how I said I hoped you'd send in reaction vids to the hairstyle tutorials? I think Captain America just sent me one, oh my fucking God." They squeezed the cat tightly enough that it let out a mildly protesting squeak. "OH GOD, Roadkill, I'm so sorry, Mommy's so excited right now." They let go of the cat and it sort of flowed into a puddle between them and the camera. "Okay. Okay. Roll video." Sam paused the video long enough to break out the ginger ale and vodka.</blockquote> ➤ Oh my god this is a thing of beauty and wonder and delight forever

<blockquote>"Are you planning to launch some kind of alternative energy initiative?" Tony says the next time Steve sees him. That takes Steve a few seconds to process because he's busy punching an alien in the face.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Bucky goes to the big Trader Joe's in Union Square for toilet paper and peanut butter cups. When he gets out, his minder is across the street, conspicuously reading a newspaper in the middle of the sidewalk. Bucky has to squint to make out the headline, which is CAPTAIN AMERICA ARRESTED IN ZUCCOTTI PARK. "Oh, come on," he mutters beneath his breath.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Bucky becomes Natasha. Natasha becomes the Winter Soldier.</blockquote> ➤ I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOOOD

➤ a steve/bucky comics vid made before the cap 2 movie came out. I love that the comments include both people who giggle all the way through and people who cried. ➤ It's...an earnest(?) slashvid to a Celine Dion song, so yeah, both responses are warranted? ➤ It's very well done!

<blockquote>She gets the text at two pm on a Tuesday. KIDNAPPED NINJAS WARWICK HOTEL BRING BACKUP BATTERY DYING CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT</blockquote>

➤ odd style but it works and I like it

<blockquote>As a /supervillain /supercriminal contract worker with a morality deficit, Clint Barton leads a glamorous life. You know, stolen cars, dangerous women, a really confusing relationship with a meddling do-gooder, the works. It's pretty awesome. Except for, uh, medical bills, the mob, and being on the run all the time. That part isn't all that awesome. (A supervillain AU where Clint shoots arrows at people and gets beat up a lot. So, not really that much of an AU.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I didn't even know I liked cake," Steve said.</blockquote> ➤ (cake is a metaphor for sex) ➤ also I am beginning to be reminded, in all these fics about tracking down HYDRA bases, of Man From UNCLE and THRUSH.
