Talk To Me (Part III.2)
Continuation of http://paginationline.tumblr.com/post/147062234824/talk-to-me-part-iii
“This,” Bridget says, “is bullshit.”
They’re on the twenty-second floor of the Lloyd, Parker, and Howell Tower in Manhattan, corporate lawyers extraordinaire, Bridget’s employers. It’s an hour after midnight on the Fourth of July, and Bridget is stuck waiting for an important phone conference with Japan. Since Phil’s civilian friends are nothing if not supportive to each other in their times of woe (especially when being supportive gives you some of the best seats in the city for fireworks) the entire gang of them is parked in a conference room, eating cold Chinese and streaming weird Japanese obstacle course shows, in honor of the occasion.
It’s Saturday night. Apparently corporate lawyers, who charge by the hour, and the Japanese, who have a seven-day work week, don’t really give a fuck about patriotism.
Unfortunately, neither do terrorists.
Talk to Me (Part III)
An idly considered, iPhone keyboard-tapped continuation of http://archiveofourown.org/series/480718
So it turns out that Phil’s civilian friends are . . . cool.
Well. Maybe not cool. They’re complete dorks. But Clint should’ve remembered that Phil’s superpower was picking people. Phil wouldn’t have picked friends who were crazed assholes with sado-masochistic tendencies. Jasper was already filling that position.
“So, I’m supposed to give you a shovel talk,” Richard tells Clint at the cafe, early on in his new relationship with Phil. The program for the day is a light brunch with Phil’s friends, followed by a visit to a farmer’s market like a normal couple. Clint’s so completely out of his depth, he had to pretend he was on an undercover op just to look at the menu.
Clint looks across the table to where Phil is chatting with—is it Kathleen? Katherine? Something that starts with K—and then looks back at Richard.
“Shovel talk?” Clint echoes.
“Uh,” Richard says.

Because I am posting a Discworld + Marvel crossover, I wandered off to see what other Discworld crossovers there were. There are a lot of outstanding ones.
But this one. This one is amazing. Vimes gets sent as an unwilling ambassador to Middle-Earth and joins up with the Fellowship of the Ring. Familiar characters do not look the same when they’re viewed through a Vimes lens.
Go read it. One day I want to write this good. Or this funny. I’ll take either.
Okay, but like, seriously. You should read it. (Quote from chapter 3 below.)
Legolas wandered up and stared at them for a while. They stared back. Legolas wandered away.
"Is he..." Merry began, wondering how to say this politely. "normal? Are...all wood-elves like that?"
Merry was not the only one to wonder this. Vimes' fellow feeling with Legolas had quickly evaporated when he realized that the elf didn't seem to notice that the other elves considered him to be a representative from the immortal equivalent of the hillbilly (treebilly?) relations that you tried not to invite to Hogswatch. He didn't notice many other things, either, like whether people were talking to him, or (Vimes noticed after a shameful cooking incident which had further dragged Ankh-Morpork's good name in the mud, all because Vimes missed burnt crunchy sausages) whether the building was on fire. He'd even asked Erestor, another elf, whether an unfortunate accident had not happened to Legolas at a young age, such as being dropped on his head (possibly out of a tree). The pitying glance the elf sent Legolas told him everything.
"If he's a bit dim, why are they sending him on the quest then?"
"He has his uses," the other elf told Vimes conspiratorially. He thought for a bit. "Apparently," he added, for honesty's sake.

Chapter 3 up. Oh my God, footnote tagging is the worst! Why did I think footnotes were a good idea? Discworld, right.
The fantabulous @lauramkaye asked me to beta a thing for her tonight.
This isn’t going to go at all poorly.
…yeeaaaaaaah, sorry about that.
And I can’t wait to cry reading it on Ao3!!
Good news– now you can! Parasomnia.
It is BRUTAL AND CRUEL AND LOVELY. Go read it.
My poor heart, she is breaking. Well played. Well played.

Oh damn.
Ladies and gentlemen, imagine if you will…Steve Yoshimoto Rogers.
Growing up in the depression in San Francisco, Steve tried to join the Army at the beginning of the war, but was turned down repeatedly. (He tried to explain that he was American, born here, but even if they had been accepting half-Japanese soldiers at that point he was too skinny and sickly.) In ‘42 he and his best friend Bucky were shipped to Manzanar - by ‘43 they were accepting Nisei soldiers, and he and Bucky were both yes-yes boys. Bucky joined the 442nd but they still didn’t let Steve in - the conditions at the camp hadn’t done anything good for Steve’s health. Without Bucky there, there was nobody to keep Steve out of trouble, fighting the guards when they tried to bully the other internees, and by the end of ‘43 Steve was sent to the prison camp at Tule Lake with the other “incorrigibles”. It was there he met Dr. Erskine. Imagine if this was the face of the symbol of America.
Holy shit, I love this, I WANT this. I want an ongoing 150 issue three-year series of this.

I found this Clint/Coulson fic languishing in the recesses of my archives and realized I’d never actually posted it. So now I’m posting it. In intervals, anyway--and I was going to post chapter 2 tomorrow, but then I remembered I don’t actually have much internet tomorrow so I posted it today instead.
Although rereading it now, I realize the ending is exactly what you’d expect from someone who was writing it while really, really drunk--I don’t actually understand anything that’s happening at the end, and I wrote it, which is a bad sign--so posting at intervals gives me time to fix that. Warning: not beta’ed because--well. See above re: drunk.
The Picture
In the need to clear my brain from the morass of shitty writing that I’m struggling with, have an utterly random Clint/Coulson short.
Writing sex scenes, UGH!
