13. Do you prefer art, fic, or vids? Why? Bonus: If someone was to give you a fandom gift, what format would it be?

I like both fic and art, but I almost never watch vids. My brain just works less well with video for some reason.


14. A pairing – platonic, romantic or sexual – that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

This isn’t a case of someone in particular changing my mind, but there is a corner of Captain America fandom which is obsessed with Rumlow, and that made me low-key ship Steve/Rumlow in a dirtybadwrong kind of way. Think about it: Steve has just woken up after 66 years in suspended animation on the ice. He’s adrift in a new world, with few ties or emotional connections. Rumlow, as his colleague on the STRIKE team, is probably one of the closest things he has to a friend… and Rumlow, as a secret Hydra operative, has every reason to want to get closer. Close enough, if possible, to compromise Steve’s judgment, even to lure him into Hydra…

Of course Rumlow does not succeed in this operation, but imagine Steve’s shocked horror at finding himself betrayed by his new best friend/lover. (His new Bucky, he caught himself thinking once, traitorously.) Because if there’s one thing Steve needs, it’s a new source of suffering in his life, am I right?

AUGH
YES

(that moment in the elevator scene where Rumlow's all "Whoah big guy!" and I was like, THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A WORK BUDDY)

at first maybe it's like a quick handjob in the SHIELD locker room after a really loaded spar session or something and Steve knows something about fellas doing for other fellas and keeping your mouth shut afterwards, he's not stupid, and then Rumlow kisses him on the neck, maybe, and poor Steve just goes C R A C K

Rumlow will occasionally go over to Steve's Apartment of Loneliness but NEVER stay the night and Steve never goes to his place. He might not even know where Rumlow lives. (Rumlow bugs Steve's apartment while he's there. Steve's apartment probably has so many bugs in it....Fury's, SHIELD's, HYDRA's....)

(STEVE, HOW WE LOVE TO HURT YOU)

Oooh good point about Rumlow def not wanting to get put on the record like that. He's a slippery guy. Maybe if he did come over once or twice, he'd be almost totally silent, like just grunting ("Bad day"). (Poor Steve.) I LOVE the idea of a safehouse. Maybe they even wind up staying in the same safehouse a couple of times. Or bunk up in the same hotel on a mission. (THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED.) There's how much time between Avengers and Winter Soldier when Steve is okay with "being Nick Fury's janitor" (LOL)? Plenty of time for some long-term missions!
