Title: Seven People who foiled Helmut Zemo's plan of tearing the Avengers apart (one of whom got to do it twice).

Summary: Helmut Zemo's plan, for all its careful planning, intricate timing, and general deviousness, depended a lot on people and the choices they made. And people are, even to the best of minds and at the best of times, rarely predictable. And the Avengers, even when divided over the Accords and struggling among themselves, for better or worse, for too much trust or too little, do not fall to such petty plans so very easily ... .

Notes:Not that one can tell from the final fic, but this is for/was inspired by the "Steve with his head in his hands" art square on my Stony Bingo card.

I rated it "Teen and up", but that's really because some of the characters insisted on swearing (the situation kind of warrants it, though...).
