I just found a document called “UNDERDOG TO THE RESCUE (we’re not really calling it that)” which, god help me, I think was the setup for a fic where the Avengers adopt a puppy that siriaeve and I talked about writing one time.

No, really.

Sooo, since I don’t actually remember what the plot of this was supposed to be or what Siria and I talked about, and the last time I looked at it was MONTHS AGO, let’s call this WIP amnesty or some shit. Please help yourselves to Steve Rogers, A Puppy, and Tony Stark being very Danny Williams about his pizza.

“It’s a dark and stormy night,” Steve says, when Tony answers the phone on the second ring. “I just want you to know that.”

“You called to give me a weather report? That’s sweet,” Tony says. “Y’know what’d be less sweet, though, is if you’d called to complain about being on recon duty, since I told you—seriously, how many times did I tell you, like ten, eleven times, I told you to pass that off. I said ‘Give it to Clint!’ I said ‘Make Natasha do it!’ And you were all ‘The burden of leadership, Tony, is occasionally stepping up to the plate,’ or whatever, so it’s not my fault if it’s a dark and stormy night, that’s all you.”

“Are you done now?” Steve says, smiling a little despite himself. “Because if that’s guilt I hear, I’m not calling for that.”

“You’re not?”

“I wanted to know if you’d eaten,” Steve says, rolling his eyes. He ducks down an alley, shoes squelching, in the hope that the fire escapes might offer a little cover from the downpour. “I’m done with the thing, thinking about dinner; I thought you might want me to bring you something, since I didn’t figure you’d want to go out in the weather. So, you know, stand down.”

Gyz, we had been inspired by this wonderful piece of artwork! Tony was going to talk a big game at first about how much he disliked the dog—because the puppy has a tendency to destroy his cashmere socks, and Pepper can never, ever know what it did to the Picasso—but he secretly bonds with it because he always wanted one as a kid, but boarding schools don’t let you keep pets.

siri: one evening steve gets home and finds him passed out on the sofa siri: with the puppy cradled against his chest
gyz: snfdsbfdsf
gyz: BOTH OF THEM MAKING LITTLE SNUFFLING NOISES
siri: and natasha walks past and says, just so you know, i already got jarvis to send clips of this to pepper, darcy and coulson
siri: the teasing is covered. you can feel free to just be sickeningly adorable with them
gyz: and at this point the dog wakes up
gyz: and gives steve a sleepy sort of look and then gets up
gyz: walks around in a circle three times on top of tony
gyz: pokes one paw at his chest a little and then flops back down
gyz: and tony, 95% asleep, is like, tickles
siri: and steve feels both vindicated and fond. it’s a heady mix.
gyz: and natasha is like, oh, good, now i’ve got video of that FOREVER
gyz: i’ll just leave you to it
siri: of course, coulson and fury make a joint decision to have that footage be part of SHIELD’s official 2012 holiday e-card
gyz: OF COURSE THEY DO

And then we got distracted by you explaining the Underdog show to me :D
