My yankee soul thinks two things are stupid: 

A. Jumping off of things that truly do not need to be jumped off of, 

and 

Sometimes, I think about the pain that people carry, and how it makes some people angry and bitter, and some people guarded and fearful, and some people cold and callous, and some people kind and compassionate.

I think, sometimes, of being able to see that, of being able to take it away.  Like tugging on the one thread that causes a piece of fabric to bunch and twist, and letting it smooth itself out.

To take the pain out of people, and see if that makes them better, makes them stronger, makes them braver, makes them kinder.

I toyed with that briefly in the wingfic, where Tony can see the model in Steve’s art class is in pain, and he doesn’t know why, he doesn’t even care why.  He just...  Takes away that bit of pain, frees her from that one burden.  

I think that some people won’t change, even if their life is perfect, and some people honor their pain and know that it’s part of who they are, part of what makes them who they are.

but sometimes, I wonder what we’d be like, with just a little less.

He’s snuck a few sips here and there and would like to get his hands on more, but Steve has made it clear that whoever caffinates the kid gets to watch the kid until he crashes.  

The very first line made me think of Parker from Leverage, and I was VERY confused, but then went "Ehhhh, it's Parker....."

As far as Furbro’s concerned, Clint’s the crosstown express.  It’s not like he WANTS a ride, but if one happens to be passing him at a vent junction, he’s probably going to jump aboard and see where it takes him.

He rides most of the Avengers this way.  Except Bruce.  He knows not to startle Bruce.

Half Square Triangles, I presume?

I tend to use the rule of “1 inch larger unfinished square, draw a line down the middle of one square, set it on another, sew a ¼ inch seam either side of the line, cut on the line, iron seam open, trim square down to finished square size” method.

That can be best described here at Blossom Heart Quilts, who is someone I know through the quilting world and her word is good.

Personally, I would ignore her use of 3/8ths inches and 7/8ths inches, because ain’t no-one got time for that kind of precision. Honestly, just round it up in the raw fabric and trim it down in the finished square.
