EXCHANGE INTERFACE

Okay, with a completely crappy day up on the books, I strolled into the Maria/STeve tag on AO3...

To discover that Philyra has posted the next piece of her "Get Ready For It" MCU/NHL fusion where Maria is the first woman in the NHL.

The first part was I Came To Win (Pepper's POV), and this one is called I Came To Conquer and is Maria's POV and I am SPINNING LIKE A TOP, peoples!

If you haven't read I Came To Win yet, I highly recommend it - even without the (ice) hockey background it is So Much Fun.

And I'm going to sneak-read about 1500 words of I Came To Conquer over the next couple of hours and so far I am TOTALLY ON BOARD WITH THIS.

Did I mention SPINNING LIKE A DAMN TOP?

(It's coming up to 11am and I've already had three different clients on my plate. I've cancelled a physio appointment, my torn calf is aching after yesterday, and I've rearranged my lunch date with andveryginger to dinner because things are so hectic, so this new installment of the series is sending me OVER THE MOON.)

tl;dr: if you're a fan of the MCU women, and particularly Maria, go and read this. (Hell, go read this if you're a fan of the MCU characters, because they are all awesome: Steve, Bucky, and Sam are a forward line-up in the NHL and sharehouse. Nat defects from the Russian leagues (and she punches out Rumlow: do you really need more?) and Spiderwoman and Captain Marvel are Olympic figure-skaters training the team. Melinda May is their damn COACH.

...that was supposed to be the tl;dr version wasn't it? Oops... I'm just so excited...
