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

[redbrunja]

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. The majority of these ideas were not new to me, mainly because people have been talking about this since the Avengers came out. (Not so much the Tony-political stuff, which is likely accurate my makes my soul bleed, but definitely talking about the myth of the conservative past, and Steve's likely political leanings.)

Thanks for the links! I love them. I actually really find it hard to enjoy Iron Man because it strkes me as so very neo-con, and I always assumed Tony as a Republican type even before I was aware of the whole Civil War arc. So it's lovely reading about Steve as a liberal, especially since I'm learning some interesting stuff about America then and now! The nuances of what it means to be from Brooklyn specifically, and America's framing of its story, otherwise tend to fly right over my English head :)
