Name: Elspeth
Other Social Media: Nope
Timezone: US East coast

What's in your journal: Not much atm. I'm hoping to change that.
What rating is your journal: Let's be real, probably PG. Maybe PG-13 for the occasional cuss word.
Interests/Hobbies outside of fandom: BPAL & other indie perfumes, historical fiction, aviation history, my cats

What you do in fandom (read/write/art/squee etc): Read, mostly. Write occasionally.
How long you've been in the Marvel fandom: Since 2007
Favorite Steve/Tony moment: I am contractually obligated to say "IT WASN'T WORTH IT." because reading that issue prompted me and my wife to propose to each other. But really, I think I like the dramatic mouth-to-mouth in Avengers v3: Red Zone best, with the "Steve bets Tony that he can't use technology for a whole episode" episode of Avengers Assemble coming in a close second for peak passive-aggressive-snark!Steve ("Is it coal power, or is it *dramatic pause* magic?").
Favorite Steve/Tony universe: 616

Other fandoms/ships you’re into: Hank/Jan, Carol/Wanda, Gambit/Rogue, Yondu/Kraglin, Adorabull, f!Inquisitor/Cullen, SoleSurvivor/Hancock, McHanzo, Reaper76, Corvo/Daud, Corvo/Outsider, Yang Xiao Long/Blake Belladonna, Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth, Megatron/Starscream, and numerous classic slash pairings (K/S, Holmes/Watson, etc.)
Exciting fandom plans/What are you working on next? Someday my wife and I will actually finish that Steve/Tony WWII AU that has like four unposted chapters languishing in google docs.

Someday my wife and I will actually finish that Steve/Tony WWII AU that has like four unposted chapters languishing in google docs.

That sounds amazing. I never knew how much I loved WWII setting before getting into Steve/Tony, but here I am and CURIOUS.

[elspethdixon]

The first chapter or so is up on AO3, while the rest languishes in WiP hell because I need to get around to getting my laptop's keyboard fixed.

WWII was actually one of my fannish interests long before I discovered comics - my first major original fic project I wrote as a 13-year-old was a weird fantasy/historical fiction mash-up about my Mary Sue discovering that she was an unwanted fairy changeling (like, the one the fairies leave behind) and then joining the WAAF where she used her second sight ability to be The Very Best Ever at reading radar screens.

[navaan]

Ahhh, always bad when a keyboard breaks. I hope you can gt it fixed soon and get on finishing this!

That's a cool set up for a story. My interests and AU in teenage years went more to the 18th century or Renaissance settings. WWII was only something that came to the front of my historical interests as an adult (which I suppose considering how often it's brought up in school here isn't surprising.) Writing fic has certainly given me more of a fannish interest in it.

I am contractually obligated to say "IT WASN'T WORTH IT." because reading that issue prompted me and my wife to propose to each other.
That's amazing!

Also hey, I'm into adoribull too! (...the bad ending, mm.)

[elspethdixon]

Adoribull is fully deserving of its name, and I'm baffled as to why so many fans seem to inexplicably hate it. I love their background banter and the fact that they canonically go the sex-leads-to-feelings route.

[blossomsinthemist]

Yay adoribull! And I also like f!Inquisitor/Cullen. ALSO YES RED ZONE LOVE! Hello! :) How's the BPAL going?

[elspethdixon]

How's the BPAL going?

Expensively :p The Yule release has an entire line up of Gingerbread scents, and I have to narrow my purchase down to one! (I doubt any will be the holy grail of wonderful that was Gingerbread, Vetiver & Black Clove or the Chocolate Espresso Gingerbread bath oil, but I have high hopes).

[blossomsinthemist]

Oh, man, right? Tell me about it. I've got about six Yule scents I'm desperately hankering after and trying to persuade myself not to buy right away. (But hey, there's that Gingerbread, Coffee Bean, and Smoked Vanilla one . . . which does sound tempting, doesn't it?) It's so hard to narrow it down!

[elspethdixon]

Plus they brought A Measurement of the Soul and The Air and the Ether back again! (I am sad to get no El Dia De Los Reyes for the second year in a row, though. Come on, Lab, give me a chance to stock up on more of it before Seanchai runs out).

[blossomsinthemist]

I looooove The Air and the Ether and The Fox Sisters. I'm trying my best to convince myself that I don't need another bottle for this year (do I though???? DO I???) And Almond Blossom is another former year favorite I'm trying not to buy more of.

(I know! I hope they bring it back next year!)

[kasdelav]

!!!! You co-wrote one of my favorite fics ever and it makes me happy to know you like Reaper76 too, I love that ship SO MUCH.

[elspethdixon]

That icon is glorious.

Reaper76 is like the Professor X/Magneto of Overwatch, except that Gabe is an even bigger drama queen than both Charles & Erik put together. Possibly almost as big a drama queen as Doom (but with better taste in masks). Meanwhile, Jack is kind of like a dark, alternate future version of Steve, in the kind of way where they would probably hate one another if they met.

[blossomsinthemist]

Those comparisons are so accurate, haha.

[prettyarbitrary]

You were here before I left and you're still here, and I'm grateful to that. Also you and your wife's fics have lived on in my heart so fiercely that even in the days when Marvel drove me all the way off, I was still reccing them to people for that good steve/tony content. And also for the lady Avengers awesomeness. I still think Marvel should just give you Jan.

[nostalgicatsea]

I never knew indie perfumes was a thing which is a bit stupid now that I think of it because of course they exist. Why wouldn't they? Lol. How did you get into indie perfumes? How do you find new ones? I'm not much of a perfume person myself, but I'm intrigued especially because maybe I'll find some cool perfume to gift people with or find something affordable for myself and get into perfume that way. :D

I love it when people find each other through fandom or get together/get married because of it. I love that Red Zone moment so much too.

And yay, Jaime/Brienne! I only watch the show and read the first book, but they're sooooooo good.<3

THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME THAT I HAVE TO READ THE WWII AU BECAUSE I KEEP FORGETTING TO.
