~


Agent Phil Coulson browsed impulsively through all kink memes relating in any way to Captain America.

It was a hobby. Perhaps one that now bordered on creepy given that he actually knew the guy, but he couldn’t help himself. He might’ve…maybe…been just a bit obsessed.

It’s not like he could stop now. They obviously needed his help. Who did these fangirls--of which, yeah, he sort of was one--think they were dealing with?

He didn’t have the right to correct their grammar and spelling, not that they didn’t desperately need someone to. Coulson couldn’t help the twitch in his brain as he read through fill after fill.

There were some though… Ones that Phil was amazed with. They very clearly knew their facts about Captain America--not nearly as much as he did, of course--but enough that he’d save the links and leave positive comments on them--mostly relating to their accuracy.

How many times would he have to tell an anon that Steve Rogers was born in 1918? Couldn’t they do any amount of research on their own? He’d had to say it at least a hundred times--he’d have thought they could have at least checked elsewhere in the kink meme first. After all, his age was the simplest of things to find out. It was no secret--not like his relationship with Tony Stark that everyone seemed to have caught on to.

(Coulson didn’t often bother fixing facts on Iron Man’s behalf, not unless it reflected badly on Cap.)

For a while he’d had to straighten facts about World War II, as well, but now most requests were based on present day--leading to less error, but it certainly wasn’t all correct.

Phil Coulson would continue fact-checking whenever there was no pressing need of him, but he’d never reveal Steve’s secrets. Not as anything but an anon, anyway.

Anonymous replied: Of course Tony Stark bottoms for him. He’s Captain America. Who wouldn’t?
