two fics and some fannish things
So, I got an anonymous ask on Tumblr, asking for a Steve/Maria AU to the lyrics of Hozier's 'It Will Come Back'.
Sometimes an idea just co-opts your brain and you have to run with it.
title: you should never know how easy you are to need
summary: She’s the paperwork, the duty, the chore - not someone that anyone seeks out. Responsibility isn’t fun, necessity isn’t glamourous, and nobody ever wants to stay around for clean-up. She does her job and she has all the interest factor of a grey cloud in a blue sky - people are mostly hoping she’ll go away.
tags: Maria Hill/Steve Rogers, relationship, angst
title: don't take me in with no intention to keep me
summary: He signed up for an army that didn’t want him, for a chance that would change his life, and earned a one-way trip into a future he never imagined, and a war that could never truly be won. And the part of him that wasn’t a soldier didn’t make it out of the ice.
tags: Maria Hill/Steve Rogers, relationship, angst, Civil War, Ragnarok, happy ending.
Those 1.2K of words have taken me the better part of a week to write, and nommed all the other words I had in my head.
I guess things are getting down to the wire now, what with Civil War looming in the spring theatre releases. *sigh*
I suspect a great many of my works will be left Unfinished And Incomplete once Civil War screens; while yes, I can go against canon in some aspects, I don't think I'll quite be able to manage this one. Who knows?
At this point, though, I'm hoping for (but hardly expecting) Maria in a) Steve's flashbacks, b) a "shooter on the grassy knoll" scenario a la Sharon Carter in the comics (mind-controlled by Crossbones), c) the endhook.
(Note: I haven't seen any of the trailers and I'm not following any of the spoilers. If I catch it in the previews while watching another movie, then that's one thing. I'm holding off the canon as long as possible.)
Anyway, hopefully I'll get Part 1 of a practical acquaintance with bees completed and posted, the next part of Sokovia, Suburbia, and the Senate done, and work out just how much action sequence is going to be required for Stockholm in Subversion. Plus bits and pieces, odds and ends...
I almost feel like I should open an 'Unfinished MCU Fics' just to post all the bits and pieces that seriously aren't ever going to get done. I probably have about 20K of stories that will never see the light of day due to a lack of incentive to finish.
For those of you with a strong femme-focus; the February Halfamoon Challenge is up again this year - mostly over on Tumblr, but also here on halfamoon! Get your gifs and your fics and your meta ready to go, because the more the merrier!
