Steve with wings.

My girl iamshadow wrote a cute fic called Chrysalid.

Summary:

You’re not ashamed of them, not really. You just wish that if the serum was going to give you super strength and health and ridiculous head wings, the government would have at least given you something less humiliating to do than parade around in fancy dress.

Notes:

Gifted to Sam, because he’s got a lot on his plate right now.

Inspired by Sam’s adorable funny post Headwings, which talks about Steve maybe having actual head wings in the comics, and what that might mean. Because I’m not really a comics person, this story is pretty strictly MCU.

Anyway I wanted to draw Bucky stroking Steve’s wing but it was beyond me so I drew this instead. Quicky and sketchy and so not my usual style (OMG no lines *cries* how do you do edges?) but I kind of like it.

Photoshop CS2 and a touch screen stylus because my Wacom is broken

My baby made me sneaky fanart for my fic while I cooked dinner!

So, the other night I shared the picture of Steve where he not only put his bandages over his uniform, he poked holes in them for his wings to stick out:

[From Avengers #45, 2001, try to ignore that he’s also riding a hovering wheelchair.]

And someone remarked that maybe they were actually attached to his skull, which given this x-ray image of him talking on the phone, would not actually be that implausible:

I remarked that they could be like Namor’s ankle wings. I don’t think Namor’s ankle wings actually give him enough lift to fly, but they’re more like, semiotic indicators that he CAN fly, or little steering wings, or something. 

Anyway the upshot was that if the wings on Steve’s Captain America uniform were actually wings that he had growing out of his skull, and he just kept them folded up under his ‘do most of the time, maybe it was because some of Namor’s blood instead of Wolverine’s was used in making the Serum. Which would mean Steve could theoretically fly. 

I like the idea that Steve could fly but didn’t tell anyone, because when he does his little headwings flap frantically and it just looks silly. 

I wrote fic for this; I couldn’t help it. 🙂

I figure Bucky was facing the other way and sufficiently far enough away that Steve kicked his feet up

Then Bucky rolled in his sleep curling around, Steve probably woke when he moved and sleepily watched for a moment before drifting off again.
