Notes: quite honestly i was completely and totally blessed with entwashian as the artist. first off, her mix is amazing, please go download it now and tell her how amazing her selections for everyone are, please go heap all the love in the world on her because not only did she produce wonderful work, she put up with my dithering, my awol-ness, my late-night emails, and hopefully what i've written will be enjoyable! I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH, entwashian'S ART AND MIX ARE PHENOMENAL, IF YOU DON'T GO AND DOWNLOAD THAT IMMEDIATELY I WILL BE DISAPPOINT. thank you thank you for letting me play around in your sandbox, this was, at the end of the day, incredibly fun to write. ♥

1. this fic, through many attempts and iterations, tried to be something else at least 3 times. but when the push comes to shove, i can only tell the story that my head allows me to, regardless if i was like, "no but let's go back to that plot bunny, no really come one," alas!
2. the names! my first instinct when i'm dealing with a genderswap universe is to leave the names pretty much as is, excepting when the names just really don't fit and a slight moderation doesn't cut it; e.g. steve rogers = steph rogers = woot!, bruce banner = brucia banner = agh no! which is not to say that swapping bruce's name as brucia is completely and totally wrong, merely that it was just not gelling with me at all. so in some instances the characters that we know as one name don't have just modified names, but entirely new ones.
2.b i was super unsure about what to name natasha romanoff, because, as i bow to my artist's infinite wisdom (you guys, seriously, this mix, i cannot), not only was natasha changing cis-gender, but ethnicity as well! unfortunately i have next to no knowledge of korean naming systems beyond what wikipedia taught me, so please tell me if i've misrepresented anything! but in regards to natasha's name, i came across the name hong gildong as being a placeholder name similar to john doe here in america, so i thought i would use the credited author's name, heo gyun. as far as i understand it this is an acceptable name to use for someone who is north korean, but again, if i've got anything wrong first let me apologize, and second please let me know where i've erred so i can fix the text!
3. my understanding of canon comes from the MCU, i only have a limited understanding of various comic canons, and i haven't gotten a chance to read any avengers!comics as of yet. so if i've got anything wrong there, chock it up to the movies, and if that doesn't gel with you either--whoops!
4. this fic takes place in fragmented chunks that are meant to take place over a varied time frame encompassing both weeks after the avengers ended and around a year after. the point of all these scenes are to be dialogues, conversations with another of the characters, not based so much in action. so if you want to look at it this way, each section is essentially a character study vignette.
5. i know basically nothing about Science and Medicine. i've capitalized them because all that i know exists in the abstract that is "grey's anatomy did an episode on this." yes there are some components that are not medically sound, and at this point i'm just hand-waving everything that tony and bernice talk about because aren't stars pretty that's all i know people.
6. the subtitle for this fic is "in the key of bitchin" because i was watching a star trek promotion video from 2009 with chris pine, zachary quinto, and john cho. while i can't vouch for it being completely relevant to the story, i honestly feel that it's something clint (cliantha) would say, so. huzzah?
7. names! here is a rundown of each avenger's genderswapped name, feel free to ask me questions about each one, why i went one way and not another, etc.
steve rogers - captain america | estefania "steph" rogers - captain america
anthony stark - iron man | antoinette "tony" stark - iron woman
bruce banner - the hulk | bernice banner - the hulk
clint barton - hawkeye | cliantha "clint" barton - hawkeye
natasha romanoff - the black widow | heo gyun - the black widow
thor - god of thunder | thor - goddess of thunder
loki - god of mischief | loki - goddess of mischief
now to the fic!
