Fandom: Agent Carter
Subject: Peggy Carter/Angie Martinelli
Title: A Love That Won't Sit Still
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for Agent Carter. 8tracks stream and DL available.
Angie Martinelli was a waitress at the L&L Automat, a diner frequented by secret agent Peggy Carter. They liked to tell each other about their days; Peggy confiding in Angie about her difficulties with her male co-workers at “the phone company” Angie regaling Peggy with tales of her auditions are she struggles to become an actress. Peggy also sees Angie’s troubles at her day job as she is harassed by one of her regular customers. When he goes so far as to slap her behind Peggy threatens to murder him with a fork, forcing him to find a new place to eat and to leave a good tip as he flees.
When an assassin follows her home, destroys her apartment and kills her roommate, Peggy is forced to find new accommodation. Angie becomes very insistent that Peggy should move in down the hall from her.
Angie: *Reads a description of apartment for rent*. Paradise or what?
Peggy: That sounds perfect.
Angie: That’s because it is. The only thing that could possibly make it better is if you lived next to me. Oops! You would. 3C if you need a cup of sugar.
Peggy is now worried that letting people get close to her means putting them in danger, but she can’t explain this to Angie, who takes her refusal personally. However, Peggy eventually realizes that she can’t push everyone away and moves into the room after successfully interviewing with Miriam Fry, the building's strict supervisor.
Angie is over the moon to have Peggy so close by, but due to her job Peggy still has to keep secrets. She blows Angie off when she wants to share a bottle of schnapps, half a rhubarb pie and a conversation on how their days went, but Peggy later takes her up on that offer after a particularly hard day when an SSR agent dies on the job.
Angie continues to do thoughtful things for Peggy; offering antacids when she says she’s not feeling well and braving asking their building supervisor for a new key, “I had to practically sign over my first born to Miriam to get this for you.”
When the SSR come barging into their apartment building and Peggy tells Angie that they’re looking for her, Angie asks no questions before she decides to help. Angie uses her acting skills to distract the SSR agents searching her room by telling them a sob story and bursting into tears. As soon as the agents leave, Angie arranges for her brother to drop off a car so that Peggy can get out of the city.
At the end of the season, after Peggy is exonerated and has defeated Leviathan, she and Angie move in to one of Howard Stark’s luxurious penthouse agreements together.
(The second season has almost no Angie in it at all, so it has absolutely no bearing on this mix.)
Stray Italian Greyhound by Vienna Teng
Oh no, not now
Please not now
I just settled into the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so, why now?
Please not now
I just stopped believing in happy endings
Harbors of my own
But you had to come along
Didn't you?
Break down the doors, throw open windows
Oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me
So what do I do with this?
This sudden burst of sunlight
And me with my umbrella
Cross-indexing every weatherman's report
I was ready for the downslide
But not for spring to well up
This feeling calls for everything I can't afford
To know
Is possible now
You're the Cream in My Coffee by Annette Hanshaw
You’re the cream in my coffee
You’re the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity
I’d be lost without you
I Wanna Be Loved By You by Marilyn Monroe
I want to be loved by you, just you
And nobody else but you
I want to be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-be-doop!
I want to kissed by you, just you
Nobody else but you
I want to be kissed by you, alone!
I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than to fulfil the desire
To make you my own!
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!
Honeysuckle Rose by Lena Horne
I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You’re my sugar
It's sweet when you stir it up
When I'm taking sips
From your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection, goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose
Tea for Two by Doris Day
Oh, honey
Picture me upon your knee
With tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and I'm gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take, for all the boys to see
(Oh, darling)
We will raise a family
A boy for you and a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we will be?
The Lethal Temptress by The Mendoza Line
So you frighten the ghost town
And ground them all down
'Till one day you reach a consensus
And I know from your verse
You put America first
And all others you simply beat senseless
And worship like this
Is to honor the fist
And to conjure what's cruel and licentious
And I don't know what's fair
And I really don't care
In the arms of the lethal temptress
Someone to Watch Over Me by Helen Forrest
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could
Always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed?
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
She Keeps Me Warm by Mary Lambert
She says I smell like
Safety and home
I named both of her eyes “Forever” and “Please don’t go”
I could be a morning sunrise
All the time
All the time, yeah
This could be good
This could be good
And I can’t change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can’t change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
What’s your middle name?
Do you hate your job?
Do you fall in love too easily?
What’s your favorite word?
You like kissing girls?
Can I call you baby?
So This Is Love by Ilene Woods and Mike Douglas
So this is love
Mmmmmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow
Mmmmmm
And now I know
The key to all heaven is mine
My heart has wings
Mmmmmm
And I can fly
I'll touch ev'ry star in the sky
So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
So this is love
Time After Time by Margaret Whiting
Time after time I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening
When the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young
So new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
