Don't Leave My Hyper Heart Alone On The Water | Cover Me With Rag & Bone Sympathy

I'm rereading my tagged avengers fic, and it's kind of surprising just how uniquely satisfying a good gen Steve Rogers fic is.

A good Steve gen piece is like a perfectly cooked steak.

On that subject, musesfool has a great post about Steve Rogers and justice and some things she keeps in mind while writing him, prompted by this meta post.
