Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yes, with a grain of salt. Sometimes I post a comment or an anecdote deliberately, just to see if people are paying attention. It's a little disconcerting to note, yep, they are.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

As always, I am pained by portmanteaux and cutesy pairing names, except for Steve/Sam, I have seen both "free birds" and "american airlines", and those are kind of adorable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

American airlines I get. Free birds, not so much, unless anything with wings is a go.

Is it a Sam/Sam ship?

Maybe "free birds" because the American eagle is a symbol of America, and Steve is Captain America after all.

Then they're both birds, and no one is free.

Why the !#$@ is there so much fluff in the MCU? I want complex and emotionally satisfying stories about three-dimensional characters struggling in a world that's shades of grey, and 95% of what appears to be out there is YAY! FAMILY! TEAM! SLEEPOVERS!
