Almost a meme

[xenokattz]

I was going to post a meme from lithiumlaughter and scribble_myname but Percy's entry kind of exploded into awesome. Anything that happens here might be an anticlimactic.

I'm editing another Avengers movie!verse fic which I thought was about Darcy & Clint but is actually about Coulson in the end. Funny how that works. I also finished editing Rasputin so expect that in a few

Honey, Bring Your Guns - X-Men First Class/Avengers

The war didn't end when Steve died left and Peggy had a war to win. She was with the Howling Commandos when they broke into Soldau, releasing prisoners in conditions too horrific to process. One of the larger cells held a young man, better fed but with a dead look in his eye. As soon as Peggy hauled him up, the deadness left his eyes and turned into anger. She'd never seen such anger, only felt it. That was the anger her heart felt the day after the mission to the Alps: twin fires of loss and hatred

I wonder if Magneto would have matured differently in Peggy's care. Not, I suppose, that she'd have been allowed to keep him... but you can just imagine a mutant with powers of magnetism in MI6?

Too cool for words.

Also, I really liked the bleakness and determination that comes through in Erik's few words here.

I'm sure Erik loves visits from his "Aunt" Peggy. He probably stayed with Col. Phillips' unit out of sheer stubbornness then got transferred to a foster home thoroughly screened by Peggy herself. Okay, maybe Phillips, too. And Falsworth. So the commandos maybe kind of investigated all the possible orphanages and finding them wanting, looked for suitable foster families within Lord Falsworth's lands.

And if they encouraged Erik's determination to use his powers to join the SSR, well, they're just being good surrogate uncles & aunts (Lorraine thinks he's a darling!) encouraging a strapping young lad to be all he can be, right?

[vikingprincess]

Not having seen XMFC yet, I'll make a wild guess that being fostered on Falsworth's lands means with Charles and Raven?

[xenokattz]

Noooooooooo but it COULD.

Now I am both confused and curious. :)
