    Summary

    “Heil Hydra,” the enemy agent shouts.

     

    “Heil this, motherfucker,” says Captain America, shooting off a rocket.

    Steve and Bucky find out Hollywood has been busy since they went away. A historical survey, including but not limited to: one set of exploded genitals, a brief interlude in France, Mel Gibson and other masterworks of casting, eight Academy awards, several dinosaurs, and something Tony Stark has ominously dubbed “the masterpiece.” Art included.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is both laugh-until-you-cry hilarious and a fucking brilliant skewering of the horrible dreck-making machine that is Hollywood and the way history distorts the stories we tell about ourselves. And also I really want to see Enfants de la patrie (starring Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan, of course) and I’m really sad I can’t because it, like, doesn’t exist.

    Summary

    Darcy Lewis came to Antarctica to be alone. She didn’t expect to see Bucky Barnes. As strange signals echo across the sky, something begins to shift—between them, and in the fabric of time itself.

    Summary

    This series is marked incomplete because I had a planned third installment I never finished, but I'm not actively working on anything in this series. For anyone interested in how the third installment would have gone, I've posted 5,000 words of the draft and a summary of how it would have ended in my incomplete works compilation.

    Summary

    Take, for instance, the couple she’s consulting with this afternoon, for their upcoming October ceremony. Seemingly mismatched in every respect. The plump, fair-haired one looks like a parody of an absent-minded professor, as sketched by someone who didn’t bother to do much actual research; his clothes are so outdated it teeters on costume. He’s wearing a bow tie, and not in that reinvented hipster way. This is a bow tie unacquainted with the cycles of fashion, a bow tie that has never heard the word irony.

    His partner is a rangy, black-clad ginger in snakeskin boots. He has the look of a hungover rocker about him, and would somehow, even without the sunglasses he has fully committed to wearing indoors on a cloudy afternoon. He’s sprawled almost defiantly in his chair and keeps throwing dubious glances around Dr. Blackwell’s office, as though expecting a lightning bolt to strike him down for merely daring to be within spitting distance of a church.

    Summary

    Wrestling with the legacy of Captain America, via songs, movies, interviews, poorly animated children's shows, curious SHIELD merchandising choices, and ice cream flavors.

    Also, Steve, Sam, and Bucky work out how they feel about each other.
