Telephone 1/17 anonymous August 12 2011, 05:58:53 UTC
(First lj post, so sorry if I screw anything up! Also, Loki does phone the (completely) wrong person, but it isn’t Tony. My apologies in advance for the inexplicable abundance of Cap in this… and the, y’know… oddness… also, it's way longer than I expected...)

TelephoneSteve stares at the small, smooth, deep blue 'phone' which Tony's secretary had given him a month ago. It’s ringing. Steve has no idea who decided that his phone should produce a tinny, constantly repeating version of the chorus to 'Star Spangled Man', but it wasn't him. He listens to the song loop over and then over again as he mentally goes through the instructions to activate the thing. It isn't as simple as the Avengers communicators, which were designed with both himself and Thor in mind ( ... )

A week later, his phone beeps. Steve stares it at, eyebrows slowly towards the top of his head, because it’s a picture. And a text message. And there’s only one person who sends him photos and text messages, though he honestly hadn’t expected it to start happening again.

The picture is of a red, white, and blue-coloured popsicle.

The text reads:

‘this = u lol ;)’

Steve stares at it for a moment. Then he sighs, and closes his phone, and honestly?

He’s not even sure why he feels a little bit better about the whole thing now.

Oh my god, oh my god, this is my absolute favorite fill so far. It's so hilarious and has little bits of heartbreaking and it's in character and interesting and oh gosh they should just make the movie just like this and I would be the happiest person ever.

Steve is eating lunch. So is Clint, though Clint has made it very clear that he is eating his lunch Over Here, Leaning on the Counter, and Not at the Table with Steve Because Tables are For Sissies Who Don’t Lean (as near as Steve can decipher it, anyway).

Ahaha god I loved Clint in this. And the hold still, I'm setting you on fire bit.

I love the idea of movie night and everyone trying to catch them up to date and the communicators being designed with Thor and Steve in mind and their talks and Loki, oh my god. The texts killed me.

“Do you have any idea how many times I’ve been pregnant?” Loki asks him one evening, after the Avengers have just finished dealing with a group of formless black shadow monsters which Dr. Strange had informed them were below his skill level and not ( ... )

Steve is just plain adorable and delightful in this - it's no wonder Loki latches on to him :-)

Even when Loki starts shouting about how he very personally he hates Thor on a personal level, directly relating to Thor’s person

I've just laughed three whole minutes on this sentence. You rock anon!

And aww Steveeee I want to give him a crushing-bone-hug. He's just SO adorable.

Loved this fic : DDD you didi a great job!

By the time Hawkeye comes over and starts chipping him out, Steve has decided that, from now on, he’s decided that there’s just no point in trying to understand Loki, or Loki-and-Thor. Ever. On any level.

That's probably a healthy attitude. Particularly Loki. I'm not sure he even understands himself :). Trying to understand them from a mortal perspective was probably doomed to fail from the start anyway.

Love that Loki enjoys his lol speak and spends so much time on boots and curtains and whatnot XD.

I agree with everything above, but make no such promise not to stalk you if given the chance. This is clearly the work of a very stalkable person.

Everything about this was marvelous. I love how you conveyed their characters in the text messages - Loki might be refined, but I can really see him abusing emotes. And Cap being baffled by "lol" had me loling. <33 Excellent fill!

You have no idea how much this fic just made my day! xD Loki messing with the Avengers and Steve out of all of them is just hilarious! He's such a troll! His random text messages made me giggle.

I don't even care about the italics screw ups. This was beautiful. I love the way you characterized Steve! He's so perfectly himself -- a little lost in the new world he's been thrust into, but still so very much a good man and trying to do what he thinks is right. las;kjfdlk I just love it!

I hope you post this in a journal or something somewhere, although if you don't want to, I'd understand!
