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.

you know what would have been awesome? if natasha had gone up disguised as a basic white dude and then kicked ass WITH councilwoman hadley (who turned out to be an insider for fury)

and when nick needed someone else for the retinal scan? sharon carter shows up, supporting her elderly aunt. she smiles at fury, her former protege, and apologizes for being late.

#NO BUT SERIOUSLY#because now I can’t stop thinking about it#except instead of apologizing#peggy showing up and going ‘traffic was so awful you’d think the world was ending. am I late nicholas?’#and fury smirking and going ‘no ma’am. as I recall the co’s never late – she’s always right on time.’#like pretty please give me lots of references to peggy & fury having worked together long enough to have stupid inside jokes#PRETTY PLEASE?#I neeeeeed it#please and thank you(x)

#you know I was almost disappointed#(i was definitely a little disappointed)#when counsilwoman hadley turned out to be natasha#because I was like#FUCK YEAH YOU GO LADY#but it kind of lost some of the thrill when it was natasha who does this for a living#don’t get me wrong#I love nat#but I would’ve loved a little redemption arc and secret badassery from hadley a little more (@nevertrustatrickster)

SAME.

This. I was disappointed

septembriseur:

One thing I was thinking about today was Alexander Pierce. I feel like one thing that’s been under-discussed in Cap 2 meta (at least, from what I’ve seen on my dash— maybe it’s been talked about elsewhere!) is the privilege of Alexander Pierce, a privilege that is very deliberately communicated onscreen.

Pierce, as a character, is visually distinctive: he’s not just an older white man, but a very specific genre of older white man. His three-piece suits and tortoiseshell glasses suggest a fondness for the styles, at least, of some happier past: the gentlemen’s era (to me located sort of vaguely pre-Philby) when men like him knew how to be graceful with power, because it was something that came naturally to them, something they would never have to demand. His charm, his generally pleasant demeanor are of a piece with this— after all, as he himself tells Steve, he’s the diplomat: the one who keeps his hands clean while Nick Fury does what needs to be done.
