Challenge 13
In your own space, create a fanwork.
This story was not created for this challenge, but I've had this fic sitting around on my HD for months and opened it up last night (before I saw the Challenge) to take a look. I was contemplating tidying and polishing it up for posting; it didn't need much.
This morning, I looked at the challenge notification email and figured it was a sign.

Summary: Dressed in worn jeans and a casual shirt, Maria Hill looks universes away from the competent aide who moved about the helicarrier control room in the sleek S.H.I.E.L.D uniform, a cool-eyed officer who kept her head in a crisis, and commanded troops with an authoritative snap to her voice. Her hand is tucked in the arm of one of the elderly residents of the hospice, and she's laughing as the old lecher pats her hand with a distinctly proprietary air.
The amusement drops from her face as she recognizes him. "Rogers."

This was actually written in the wake of my dissatisfaction with Endgame, and there was a whole other story alongside/behind it. I decided to dedicate my time and energy to other things instead.
