Control


["1989" by luckyraeve, and
"1989 part 2" by luckyraeve]


Author's Summary:
The Winter Soldier is sent to retrieve codes from a former Hydra-loyalist.

Excerpt:
"The codes," you repeat. "For the weapons in Kronas storage facility 14A." You lift your hand away from his mouth.

He lets out a pained laugh. "You're—you're joking." He takes a wheezing breath. "Who did they tell you I was?"

"A traitor." You take hold of his right hand. "A man who would sell our secrets to the highest bidder." His face distorts in pain as you push back on his pinkie finger. You cover his mouth again and push back some more until there's a crack.

He cries out, tears running from his eyes. When he catches his breath he meets your eyes. There's a hardness there that takes you by surprise. "Yggdrassil," he says.

Something flickers in your line of vision. A pair of round glasses, a small man that speaks softly and sets your teeth on edge. The doctor. You let go of the broken finger.

Volkov swallows, "I guess they deactivated that one."

. . . . 

You grab him by the chin, wait until his eyes focus on yours. "The drug will reach your heart in thirty seconds. You'll be paralyzed and unable to breathe. Then you will be dead."

He swallows again.

"Tell me the codes."

"No— no. I know who you are." He starts laughing, hysterically. "You're Death on a leash." He nods; a tear slips down his nose. "And I am a dead man. That is no antidote."

"The codes."

"Okay," he says. "Okay. You want a code?" He swallows again, squeezes his eyes shut and when he opens them again, he's smiling. "Левиафан."

The room tints red and there's a high-pitched buzzing sound in your ears that drowns out everything else.

Character Studies


[Morning at the Avengers
by Nicholya Arden"


Today’s comic doesn’t have any characters in it, and yet it is a character study nonetheless.

*edit*

Steve’s appliance is a percolator. It’s a coffee machine popular in the 30’s and 40’s.

Thor’s is a coffee urn. It holds 5 gallons and keeps it hot. Great for church functions and demi-gods who want to drink the stuff all day.

Tony has a Keurig.

His Unspeakable Mercies


[found here]


My Summary:
Bucky is a wounded war veteran living with his pal Nat. She persuades him to get his amputee stump and burn scars covered by tattooing. Enter Steve Rogers, comic book artist and tattoo artist extraordinaire, also a vet. Magic ensues.

Excerpt:
“But, you know,” Steve begins, “I’m a practical guy. I’m not so much into art for art’s sake. Tattoos are practical art. Comic books are practical art. It’s art in motion.”

“So you’re a comic book artist too?” Bucky asks.

“Yep,” Steve replies, and then points around the room at the walls covered in comic pages.

“Wait, so you drew all of these?”

“Most of it, yeah. Marvel puts me on Captain America duty mostly, kind of their twisted little joke.”

“Because you’re basically just like him?”

Steve huffs a laugh. “Thanks, but I’m not as much like him as I look. I think Captain America stands for everything I thought war would be but isn’t. So I have this kind of…love-hate relationship with him now.”
