Title: A Wing And A Prayer Rating: PG Summary: Tony Stark doesn’t do anything ordinarily, including pet ownership. Notes: This originated here. I can’t really explain the rest. The Lovelace Masterpost is here, maybe one of you knows why all this happened.

It was a quiet night at the Millville Bird Sanctuary just outside New York city, the night it happened. Not unexpected, this late in the year; in spring and summer and even early autumn they did a brisk business for a bird sanctuary, but even a brisk business wasn’t much, comparatively speaking. Dr. Nathalia was only on the overnight shift because there were campers out in the sanctuary, on a “night watch” with one of the docents, and someone had to stick by the phone in case of emergency.
Then, around eleven, hell briefly broke loose.
“Fuck, fuck, oh fuck,” was the first she heard, and she heard it moving towards the front door of the single building that comprised the sanctuary’s visitor’s center, clinic, and storage shed. They did get people who’d been in car accidents once in a while, so she was rising and reaching for her phone when a man burst through the unlocked door, covered in blood and feathers, and yelled “I NEED A BIRD DOCTOR!”
The second thing he yelled was “I DIDN’T HIT IT WITH MY CAR!”
1. Steve Rogers is not just some dumb soldier who follows orders, he thinks outside the box and asks questions and considers consequences.
2. Peggy Carter had plans to eat that boy alive before he became a delicious roast beefcake in Howard Stark’s hottie machine.
3. I don’t understand people who didn’t enjoy this movie.
LAUGHING FOREVER AT #2 BECAUSE PERFECTION
Roast beefcake is just added bonus:
everybody wanted to eat that roast beefcake
Seriously. In the taxi cab she was totally planning on taking his virginity.
And then he got all beefy and she was like “Shit. Heart of gold AND pecs that could crack a walnut between them? How am I supposed to deal with this?????”
The nurse in the background is just thinking “Do it. Do it for all of us. Do him for all of us”
i have all these serious edits and sad stuff in my steggy tag and then there’s this
While I do love seeing all the Steve Rogers appreciation today, I’d like to show a little love for some of our other America-themed superheroes.
Edit: I noticed a lot of people reblogging this don’t know the names of these characters. Their names are, in order: Isaiah Bradley (Captain America), America Chavez (Miss America), and Eli Bradley (Patriot).
I kind of love the idea of Steve being bi. Like, when he was younger, he’d see a guy and think he was good looking, but he’d just stamp that down or chalk it up to being an artist and finding beauty in everything. Then he meets Peggy and he really likes her so he thinks of himself as “fixed”.
When he wakes up in our time he stumbles into learning about the different kinds of genders and sexual orientations and it just hits him like “Oh. I guess that explains it.” And after New York when things settle in to something like a routine and he actually has a chance to look around and Natasha starts on her mission to set him up, he starts to really accept and become okay with being attracted to men and women.
One day when they’re heading out on a mission, Natasha brings up another woman from SHIELD and Steve just goes “What about that guy who works in reception?” and he says it casually, but he’s really sort of nervous because she’s the first person he’s told. Natasha just pauses for a beat and looks at him before shaking her head “Kevin? No, he’s got a terrible hair cut. You can do better.” And after that she starts including guys in the people she suggests to him.
