I just saw Captain America Civil War.  I'll do a more detailed post on it on Sunday or something, once I have my thoughts in order, but for now I have to get one thing off my chest:
In the long and glorious history of completely unnecessary and out of left field hetero kisses, the one between Steve and Sharon was a humdinger.  Peggy just died, Steve just learned that Sharon was related to her, their last personal conversation was about Peggy and the things she knew... but sure, they were just boiling with sexual tension that whole time, absolutely.  And it was almost worse because there wasn't even a romantic subplot.  Like I didn't want a romantic subplot, but taking out that kiss would have no noticeable effect on the story, so  Why.  Was.  It.  There???  People in my theatre made the funniest 'hmming' noises.  I think even people who normally dig the whole "attractive white man + attractive white woman = equals love obviously" equation were WTF-ing over this... thing.


Also I'm working on a couple of super fluffy fanfics right now and I have no idea what to call them.  Normally I go for song lyrics when I'm at a loss, but when combing through my music over the last few days I realized that most of my music is of the melancholy and/or overwrought variety.  Can anyone recommend some just really happy love songs?

Very "cotton candy and rainbows"-type quotes about love might be useful too, if anyone knows any.

I admit it...I said, "whaaat?" Aloud in the theatre.

I was too stunned for that, tbh. I just... I don't understand.

I know - if they weren't a thing in the comics that I know about from fandom, there's no way I would have any clue that this could even be something that anyone would think of. I like the pairing fine, in theory, but this was a terrible way to start them off.

From a fannish perspective, I would love it if there weren't any canon pairings so everybody could just ship whatever they wanted, but... there's nothing technically wrong with Steve and Sharon getting together, this was just handled so poorly.
