Yayy I'm a rock star!!

Lah Lah Lah

And let me tell you, "The Sodomizer" as actually a better name XD

(And you used my advice in weapons, it makes me happy)

Of course I did! Thanks again for your help :DDD

...Chief of Police, Jake Berenson,

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, SIMMY.

simmysim July 30 2009, 03:29:39 UTC

ahahahaa you know, I've been canon dipping with names the entire time I've written fic and I think you're the first person who's noticed. There's a couple more in this fic, actually ;)

(not for animorphs though idk if you even know the fandoms)

What's funny is that Jake would do really well as Chief of Police, if, like, he hadn't had his homeworld be invaded by alien slugs. And was in a world where there were super powered dudes and he wasn't one of them. I think he would secretly enjoy all the weird shit like shooting corpses in the line of duty and then go home and feel super bad about it.

I can imagine Marvel!Jake finding out that some of his officers are skrulls and being struck by a cosmic sense of de ja vu.

Lol that's why I did it, I was like "okay I need a name for a chief of police, who is a character who could totes grow up to be a policeman..." For a while there I was thinking about making it Peter from Narnia.

Marvel!Marco would have to be son of the Skrull Queen, when she came down earlier to check the planet out... And then Marvel!Tobias would have to be related to Kree somehow, possibly in the same sort of position as Teddy.
Marvel!Rachel would have to be a mutant of some sort. Cassie, idk, Cassie was always my least favorite.

Before I read:

Fraction brain-deletion canon: y/n?

*desperately hopes it's 'n' so she can read*

simmysim August 1 2009, 13:14:22 UTC

N

I'm not even sure where Fraction is trying to go with that business, I totally ignored it

elspethdixon August 1 2009, 20:41:01 UTC

\O/ Yay!

Sin & Crossbones! Sin & Crossbones!!!! *gleegleeglee* And the Punisher. I actually had to stop reading the story when they first showed up so I could flail in fanboy-like glee.

I think one of my favorite parts of this whole thing is the SHIELD/law enforcement/military aspect, with Steve working with Reyes -- you don't often get to see Steve as a field commander/soldier outside of his superhero/Avengers duties in fic.

Oh God, and the Asgardians! (whereupon I had to stop reading to flail again) And the giant Avenger-team clusterfuck at the end, and Steve not being sure what to call Hank because he's had so many names, and the evil crazy alternate Tony in the Helicarrier's cells, and Jack's rebuilding job, and the Hulks fighting the armors (which would make a glorious splash page -- I could see it in my head so vividly) and why isn't this fic canon? Why?

I may have an actual coherent review later, but right now all I have is the need to babble in incoherent glee and flail my arms around.

Wahh there are a lot of things I love about this fic, I'm not sure how to go about saying them ( ... )

onewayfreak August 13 2009, 18:41:31 UTC

dagdhjk YEAH OK it was the detail in the way SHIELD operates, it feels like you either did a lot of research or you are very very good at faking it. That's always been an area of canon I find daunting but it feels very seamless the way you wrote it here. It's easy to take the reader out of the moment with things like that when it seems sloppy or poorly researched, but you took it from a point of view like Steve's, and he's obviously going to know more about SHIELD than most, and I totally buy it.

I can't really, like. Mention anything specific here, but I love the way you write Steve and Tony together, the awkwardness and the underlying guilt and all their uncomfortable repressed love. <3

So late to this fic. jazzypom August 15 2009, 23:00:57 UTC

Man, I'm sorry I couldn't get to it sooner. Beta burn out and all that.

So, brass tacks, I really liked this story. You have nice lines, and it takes skill and effort to work with the canon post civil war and making the world into something organic and real. Like Steve working with SHIELD, and his running into Castle. I also liked the fact that Steve comes back to find the dynamic of the avengers changed, and he doesn't slot in. Doesn't try to take sides or get people to sing kumbaya.

There are some lovely lines "This isn't small. I can't do this if it's small," *wibbles* and
Tony often tries to bring down entire mountains with nothing more than his stare; the amazing thing being that most of the time, it works.

Really good lines.
