And happy reading to all who have patiently waited for the fic to be complete before diving in. 🙂

In a fandom with many beautiful stories where the narrator or the information they hold as truth may be unreliable, this is something I think is unique and special. Brightwork just finished posting today, and it’s a story I’ve followed with interest since it began. notoska takes a fascinating ‘what if?’ premise and teases it out over twenty-two chapters as the characters travel around the world, tracking down the remnants of Hydra and finding tiny pieces of the puzzle. There’s a tension that runs through the whole story that’s equal to any conspiracy thriller, and the reveal, when it finally happens, is so small and subtle that you’d be forgiven for thinking it completely opaque unless you’ve got a very good memory for minutiae (or you do what I do, dig back into the story and find the answer) and realise its profound significance. It’s not a story for people who need everything wrapped up in a bow or are unsatisfied with open endings, but for those of you (like me) who love a story for the beauty of its construction, for those who love seeing characters struggle and don’t need to see them triumph, just survive, for those who like to see Steve, Bucky, Sam and Natasha questioning everything they know, then this story is for you.

Maria Hill irritably recruiting the latest batch of SHIELD minions interns. 

“Earn $45K a year or for as long as you manage to avoid catching a bullet with your face." 

"Medical and dental and the occasional accidental chemical exposure that might turn you into the next Bruce Banner! And if you think that’s a perk you should work in R&D.”

“Free housing as long as you don’t mind living in Hawkeye’s building. He’s a shit landlord but his dog is cute.”

“You get to be in the vicinity of pretty people like Captain America, Thor and me. Mostly me. Yelling at you. Occasionally Agent Carter. Also yelling at you.”

“Lower level interns may only refer to Agent Romanoff by her codename: Black Widow. Only agents with level 6 or above clearance may refer to her as She Who Doesn’t Fucking Clean The Microwave After Her Hot Pocket Explodes All Over It Jesus Fuck.”  

“There’s no glamour in spying, people. Long hours. Shady missions. Morally dubious choices that will keep you up at night, eating at your soul from the inside out. On the plus side, you will be assigned a catsuit and they make your ass look great.”

"After the whole Hydra incident, everyone who was sorted into Slytherin in Pottermore is officially banned from recruitment … what do you mean that’s not a rigorous personality test."
