    Summary

    “Sergeant Barnes.” Zola sort of appeared in the passageway in front of Barnes, too damn fast and silent for a seven-foot tall robot. “You came back.”

    “You always knew I would.” Barnes agreed, then slammed his metal fist into Ultron's face as hard as he could. “One of us is gonna get dead today, and it ain't me.”

    Ultron took a swing and Barnes danced away from it, ducking, then stepped back around and punched him in the back of the neck, hard, with his flesh and blood hand. That was unexpected and Ultron stumbled forward a step or two; the prancing Swiss aristocracy wasn't used to bar fights.

    Barnes circled around, hands up as if he was back in a boxing ring in Brooklyn, reliving his bare-knuckle days. “Iron Man, weaknesses on the Ultron unit.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This series keeps improving. Really good fix-its and intelligent, plausible human behaviors instead of idiot plots.
    **
    Clever explanation of why the serum only really worked on Steve and Bucky --- something in the Brooklyn water?

    Summary

    How Sam Wilson met the Avengers and the support staff, brought in an assassin, kept several women from murdering Tony Stark, and found a family. But he is not their shrink. No. He isn't. Shut up, Tony. Or, as Sam puts it most days, how in hell did he get roped into this?

    The one where Sam offers to carry Natasha’s purse.

    First of the series -- great fill-ins and witty banter from Sam's POV.
    Ch. 19 The source of my head-canon that Bruce is a stoner.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Steve is really good at figuring out Tony's character; or rather, the author is. Some strange departures from canon, but true to the underlying personalities.

    Assorted mostly self-contained snippets post-they're gonna send us to prison for jerks, aka an excuse to write whatever self-indulgent nonsense I feel like about undercover as a (formerly mustached) math teacher Bucky Barnes.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ch. 10 is a favorite.

    **Came here while rereading to single out Ch. 10 only to find I'd already done so!**
