juniorcaptain:

Peggy Carter shows up for her first day as head of SHIELD. Her first task is to interview the roomful of men and women (but mostly men) who are waiting outside her new office. She can only hire a handful and she has to pick the best to ensure that SHIELD doesn’t get shut down (and to prove that she’s capable of running the thing in the first place).

She’s been in plenty of fights before but she’s nervous as she approaches her desk for the first time because the people she hires today could decide the fate of the entire organization.

The door flings open and a young woman enters. She profusely apologizes for being late and introduces herself as Peggy’s assistant, hired by Howard to help her through the day to day minutia of running SHIELD. Peggy’s relieved for the help.

The day constitutes boring interviews and plenty of potential but eventually Peggy winds up with her first response team. Months go by and over time Peggy realizes that her assistant is a capable fighter and starts to bring her along on missions.

One day, Howard witnesses her in action and openly tells Peggy he wishes he could have a secretary that good. Peggy asks why Howard didn’t tell her the girl had combat experience. Howard reveals he never hired an assistant for Peggy.

Cue the reveal the the assistant was one of the initial job candidates. Realizing there were plenty of more experienced agents in the room and not wanting to miss out on being part of SHIELD, she decided to secure a job using the only way she knew – deceit. Turns out she was an undercover agent during the war and, like Peggy, she was told she was no longer needed once the men came home. She made it to that final SHIELD interview but saw that Peggy looked flustered and took advantage of the situation. 

She’s made head of espionage instantly.

CHECK OUT HER LEGS.  Peggy Carter moves so wonderfully—stalking along so her shoulders and hips stay level all the way through her stride, one foot landing before the other takes off, knees slightly bent so she can spring forward or absorb a blow, back foot sweeping up around the lead to make sure she’s smooth and steady.

This is a fencer’s walk.  This walk tells me: Peggy knows how to use a sword. 

I bet you that somewhere at home, packed in with all the other relics of her school years, there is a small silver cup from a women’s epée tournament with her name on it.

HEADCANON ACCEPTED.

bucky who can’t quite seem to get over the fact he can pick up mjolnir even though it’s been a good three months since the first time he accidentally plucked it from the ground in avenger’s tower. the hammer itself always seems to be in the most random of places and bucky will walk over to it whenever the opportunity comes along and look around to make sure no one is watching before picking it up again as it expecting one day that he won’t be able to lift it again. except every time it comes off the ground without hesitation and he grins like an absolute idiot because it means more to him than it probably should just that mjolnir deems him worthy at all so that must mean there’s something good about him, right?

and of course tony eventually asks why thor leaves his hammer just sitting around the place and thor simply smiles and says, “because it helps where i cannot.”

and nobody knows exactly what he means by that

why did you deprive all of us of those delicious tags. PHIL HAS A TYPE. YOU ASPIRE TO BE CAPTAIN AMERICA BUT YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO FUCK HIM. can’t be the first. THAT IS A LOT OF PRESSURE. you don’t want to despoil this paragon of virtue. BUT YOU TOTALLY WANT TO FUCK BUCKY BARNES. Cause it would be that easy. Fast and hard and fun as hell. you got some stuff you want to try? he’s down with it. “ain’t nothing i’m scared of, sweetheart” he’ll say once he’s got your back up the wall.

“YOU ASPIRE TO BE CAPTAIN AMERICA BUT YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO FUCK HIM.” <=== precious bb queer Phil Coulson in a nutshell, basically.

Like, precious bb queer Phil Coulson’s code for living is What Would Steve Rogers Do?, but his spank-bank is wall-to-wall Bucky Barnes Being A Smirky, Cheeky Little Shit.  which is appropriate because for real the answer to ‘what would steve rogers do’ actually is ‘bucky barnes’.

Like, maybe there was some awful cheesy promotional calendar of the Howling Commandos that some well-meaning grandma gave Phil when he’s like 12 years old, and he flipped through it, and February was just Bucky standing there in his dress uniform, with his khaki tie slightly undone and his hat at a rakish angle, giving the viewer the old glad-eye, and well basically that’s the year Phil started locking his door and it was February for months at the Coulson house, because 28 days was not nearly enough time for Phil to spend on that picture.   

AND THEN, almost forty years later, ACTUAL BUCKY BARNES shows up on Phil’s doorstep and it’s like, wow, awkward. I mean you’re all messed up mentally and haven’t had a haircut or a hug in literal decades and I feel bad about that, but also I used to masturbate to the idea of you pinning me down and smirking into my neck, so…there is that.

But Phil Coulson is a nice guy who likes projects and hopeless causes, so he takes care of him and cuts his hair and idk, makes him soup and gives him a place to sleep and a couple of Steve-related books to read.

And I’m not saying Bucky, as he starts getting his feet back under him, tries to pay back Phil’s kindness with the sex, leaving Phil to go ‘no, no, we can’t’ to his literally FANTASY BOYFRIEND, because he’s still so messed up and Phil would never take advantage. But I’m not NOT saying that, if you know what I mean.

also like steve/bucky was precious bb queer phil coulson’s OTP, so…he’s not about to get in between them.

No, no – but first Clint is all “he’ll never love me, he has a hard-on for Captain America” and then he talks to, like, Maria or Phil’s sister or somebody and they’re like “HaHaHaHA! Nope. Phil has a Type, he always has, and it’s not Steve Rogers, it’s Bucky Barnes.”

And then JUST when Clint thinks maybe he has a chance, THE REAL Bucky Barnes show up, and Clint’s like “JFC, this is just my luck.”

But then Clint walks in on Steve and Bucky and he’s like “oh my god, Phil, I’m so sorry”

And Phil is “*blink blink* What? No, Bucky and Steve belong together, I know that.”

And Clint is like “Oh, but I thought you had a crush on him. For ages.”

Phil: “(embarrassed) I did, but then I met another hot, smart, snarky marksman who captured my heart, so…”

Clint: “Oh. (Is sad). Is it someone I know?”

Phil: “… Well, it’s you.”

Clint: *blinks*. “What? Really?”

Phil: “I know, I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was -“

Clint: (interrupting) “Shit up. No. Answer the question – REALLY?”

Phil: (glaring) “Yes, really.”

Clint: “REALLY???”

Phil: “JFC, I’m leaving.”

Clint: (grabs him by his lapels and starts kissing him)

Phil: (totally into it. Then blinks and pulls away) “No, wait, but, you – ?”

Clint: “YES! JFC, get the fuck over here.”

Phil: (blinks) “Yes. Yes, of course”

(Back to snogging)

suddenly really want the opening to Cap 3 to be a replay of the train, re-shot from different angles to really mess with the perception of what happened and who’s POV this is supposed to be and the sound is harsh and abrasive and too loud and you can hear the bullets ricochet and the guns blast, the klnnng of the shield against metal and you can really hear how raspy Bucky’s breath is and how calm Steve sounds and then

“Bucky look out”

and the blast of the laser and the cacophony of the shield and the guns and the side of the train and metal on metal being torn apart and then just the wind the air howling and screeching and the metal groaning underneath Bucky’s hands and barely hearing Steve call out and the wind the wind the wind

and no music and no lead up just the wind and “take my hand” and the wind and then the drop-

and then he jerks awake and tries to catch his breath and all the audience sees is this figure in shadow in bed, trying to find his footing again, and you can’t really tell if it’s Steve or if it’s Bucky

because it doesn’t really matter, because they both dream about the damn train

why this

captain america: the winter soldier is actually a romantic comedy about bisexual retired airman sam wilson and the sudden parade of hot people barelling into his life

if he was in an indie film he’d end up in bed with some/all of them by the end while a song with acoustic guitar played over the sex montage
