    Summary

    How Sam Wilson met the Avengers and the support staff, brought in an assassin, kept several women from murdering Tony Stark, and found a family. But he is not their shrink. No. He isn't. Shut up, Tony. Or, as Sam puts it most days, how in hell did he get roped into this?

    The one where Sam offers to carry Natasha’s purse.

    First of the series -- great fill-ins and witty banter from Sam's POV.
    Ch. 19 The source of my head-canon that Bruce is a stoner.

    Steve is really good at figuring out Tony's character; or rather, the author is. Some strange departures from canon, but true to the underlying personalities.

    Assorted mostly self-contained snippets post-they're gonna send us to prison for jerks, aka an excuse to write whatever self-indulgent nonsense I feel like about undercover as a (formerly mustached) math teacher Bucky Barnes.

    Ch. 10 is a favorite.

    **Came here while rereading to single out Ch. 10 only to find I'd already done so!**

    Summary

    Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.

    It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

    Very entertaining. Sam Wilson, the Dr. Dolittle variation.

    Summary

    At this point, Sam’s scanning the coffeeshop for an exit strategy from this terrible date; maybe he can trip a customer into spilling coffee on one of them, or pretend like he’s seen a friend, something, anything. His eye lands on the white guy sitting at the table behind Mike, directly in Sam’s line of sight, but not visible to Mike himself. And okay, hello, stranger. He’s gorgeous, and he’s looking up from the stack of papers on his table, right at Sam. Hot Stranger’s thick-lashed blue eyes are wide, and a pen is dangling from his fingers as if the nonsense happening at Sam’s table has shocked him into interrupting his work.

    What the fuck, mouths Hot Stranger.

    Sam's on a first date that starts weird and only gets weirder. Thankfully, there's a hot bystander who's ready to be a hero and save Sam from the horrors of app-based dating.
