LF: Steve happens upon a gay marriage demonstration *FOUND*

[cookiemom6067.livejournal.com]

I'm new to this fandom and I've been mainlining fic like crazy. Unfortunately, that means that I missed bookmarking one that I now want to go back to and I don't remember how I got to it.

I'm fairly sure that it was on AO3.

Steve was out grocery shopping - including picking up some unusual tea from a tea shop for Bruce - and he happens upon a gay marriage demonstration while he's trying to figure out his new phone. A young guy notices his confusion about his phone and offers to help him; there follows a very funny scene of the guy practically humping Steve's new Stark Phone, since it hasn't been released to the public yet. Tony, having tracked Steve down (through a Google alert? I'm less certain of that), comes to the rescue. Steve complains that Tony sneaks into his room and upgrades his phone when he's not looking just to annoy him.

The guy "humping Steve's phone" cottons on to the fact that this is Captain America and suggests that Steve probably doesn't want to be photographed in the midst of a gay marriage demonstration. Steve takes great offense to this and joins the demonstration officially, as does Tony.

The fic was inspired by a quote from Chris Evans on how embarrassing it is for the country to have not universally accepted gay marriage equality.

Thanks - and if there's a fic finders comm I should direct this to, please let me know.

ETA: FOUND!! by multiple people - it's "Phil Coulson is Not the Avengers' Public Relations Manager" by scifigrl47 - thanks, everybody! This is a part of a very funny series called "Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toaster 'Verse. Both this series and the related Toaster 'Verse are a sure cure for depression.

Yes, thanks!

That'd be part 1 of Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toasterverse (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18869), which are offshoots of In Which Tony Stark Builds Himself Some Friends (But His Family Was Assigned By Nick Fury) (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18228). A wonderful series, the whole 'verse is heart-wrenchingly good. :D

oh man I keep going over to her page there and staring at the lack of updates re the kidnapped Tony fic and wondering if I found out where she hung out online and offered to buy her a sixpack of her cola of choice, would she put the next chapter up already.

[linnet-melody.livejournal.com]

I'm thoroughly impressed with her pacing, to be honest. She wrote Part one -- with the Tony-hugging -- early last month, and has written Part 2, half of Part 3, and the two Phil Case Files since then. That's fifty-six thousand words in six weeks!

But I'm with you on the nail-biting. Girl definitely knows how to leave us on tenterhooks! :D

She's on fire - and it's all great!

[ami-neko.livejournal.com]

She said it would be up soon in the comment section of the most recent Phil Coulson's Case Files.

[cookiemom6067.livejournal.com]

That was a hilarious installment, too - I need to subscribe to her in general because it's all really wonderful. New chapter is up - did you see it?

[ami-neko.livejournal.com]

ahhh, I was at the store!!! before I run off to read it, you should DEFINITELY read all of her stuff. It's great across the board.

[cookiemom6067.livejournal.com]

It's up now - did you see it?

[cookiemom6067.livejournal.com]

It's up - does she still get the 6 pack?

[cookiemom6067.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is truly wonderful - I was reading one of the Toasterverse stories and started going through all of scifigrl47's stuff on AO3 - that's how I happened upon the story I was looking for. I just got notified that the next chapter of the kidnapping story is up - I'm off to read once I get done thanking people

That's the first chapter/story in Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toasterverse (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18869) by scifigrl47.
