I don't really like to do recs, because I'm afraid of hurting people's feelings of leaving someone out, but my most favorite losers fic of all time is was is the Team Dynamics, Family, and Other Things That Will Hurt You series . But the text version seems to have been taken down? I don't know why, but here's the link to the podfic. (Seriously, I listened to it almost constantly when I was chained to my desk at my old soul sucking job.) If it was taken down for a reason anyone knows and I shouldn't be linking to the podfic, please let me know.)

I also enjoyed In All the Tongues of Men and Angels by Coinin. 

frostbitefingers replied to your post: does anyone have a DOB for steve and b...

I’ve usually seen Steve’s birthday as July Fourth & Bucky’s as sometime in the winter, ‘cause there’s no such thing as too much irony. Year wise, they’re in their mid-twenties - aside from time spent on ice - so around 1920ish?

I'm a weirdo, I needed specifics for absolutely no reason. Did a little digging. 

Bucky has two different birthdates, because he's 7 years younger than Cap in the original comics, but their ages are closer in the cinematic universe. So I wanted to figure out exactly what that difference was. 

I figured out that in a deleted scene from the Avengers movie, Bucky's birthdate is partially observable on a file. Assuming only the day and year have changed from his comic book DOB, that would make his MCU birthday March 10, 1922 (as opposed to his comic book birthday, which I believe is March 20, 1925)

Steve's birthdate as he writes it on one of his military application forms in Cap 1 is July 4th, 1918. I believe this is the same as the comics.

So in MCU, Steve is 3 years, 8 months and 6 days older than Bucky, as opposed to in the original comics, where there are 6 years, 8 months and 16 days between them.

while I love the creativity of fic writers, some of their ships make me want to slowly suffocate myself with my Dumbledore’s Army shirt

same. although i refuse to believe that ALL of them are serious. like i'm pretty sure that hogwarts/giant squid fic was written as some kind of joke.

what feels really wrong is discovering that some people ship Harry & the guy Vin Diesel played in the Riddick series

uhhh. what.

I would ask if you are alright, but my sense are telling me no.

oh sweet

Have you crash-landed in Oz perchance?
