STEGGY AU: Special Relationship

It all started with the late night fondue. Well, it actually started with Prime Minister Carter’s first official visit to the United States, where the two heads of government instantly developed an easy camaraderie. They laughed about stuffy heads of state and commiserated about irredeemable elected officials and the difficulties of being in government. Pretty soon President Rogers and Prime Minister Carter became Steve and Peggy, and official meetings became friendly chats, and serious phone calls became quick texts about day-to-day excitements and drudgeries. Carter and Rogers embraced the special relationship between their two countries (and themselves).

The late night fondue started as a celebration at the end of a very trying NATO summit. The participants found themselves at an upscale fondue restaurant known for its delicious cheese and utmost discretion. They partied long into the night, but one by one, the various NATO members and their staffs left the restaurant, until only Carter and Rogers remained. The lighting was low, the music was soft, and the company was perfect. The rest of the night and the early morning was perfect too, although that remained top secret.

The late night fondue–Chief of Staff James Barnes’ term of choice to describe their relationship–started with that late-night fondue. It became hurried encounters in empty conference rooms at the G7 summit in Paris, a shared hotel room at the Climate Change conference in Vienna, and an early morning meeting before the peace talks with Russia.  It became friendly competitions in their off hours, shared jokes about their consistent lack of punctuality, and some more fondue–both literal and figurative.

They were the best-kept secret in international affairs. One night, in the midst of an emergency session of the UN Security Council, Rogers pulled Carter into an empty room and began to twirl her around to an unidentifiable music source (his speechwriter Thor Odinson). As the music shifted to something slower, she settled her head in his broad shoulder and whispered, “Do you ever get tired of the secrecy and sneaking around?” Rogers hummed in response, but made no move to stop dancing. Instead, he pulled her closer and whispered right back, “Someday, when all this is over, we will get our dance in public. I promise.” She smiled into his suit jacket as he added, “I hope you’ll be giving me lessons before then though. I’d hate to step on your feet in front of all those people.“ 

It took four years, three hard won treaties, two assassination attempts, and a war. But at the end of Rogers’ final term, at the Inauguration Ball of their friend Sam Wilson–the former Vice President–they finally had their dance, to thunderous applause. (previous)

what if marvel did little “shorts” before their movies, like disney and pixar do. 

and we could see a happy fun little three minute movie of domestic avenger life, like steve taking bucky to disney world for the first time, or darcy and jane dragging thor to the mall on a shopping spree but he ends up working it in every outfit he tries on, or clint and natasha getting really into a heated game of paintball but you don’t realize it’s paintball until the very end when natasha shoots him and you hear him groaning and see a giant splat of bright pink paint on his chest. 

Or Tony and Bruce measuring and talking quantities and reactions - science stuff - and they get into a heated debate about proper procedures and whatnot. Then at the end we find out they were trying to bake Pepper a birthday cake. And they end up exploding cake all over the kitchen.

holy shit I love when people make this post a thousand times better

every time I see a video or gif of Kylo Ren in his mask all I can think of is that interview with Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac where Oscar says that their first day on set was Poe’s interrogation scene and Adam didn’t take the mask off in between takes and would lean in and be like “don’t worry I’m under here it’s me” and my heart fills with so much love
