Summary:

She wondered how in hell Captain America wasn’t hitting that like a piñata every day and twice on Sundays.

Baby's first crossover. Couldn't stop thinking of Wendy and Bucky bonding over the superheroes in their lives. This definitely went in a direction I hadn't anticipated, but hopefully there's some mythical individual out there who might enjoy this.

I am that mythical individual! I have long wanted Wendy and Bucky to meet, especially since I already wrote her meeting Steve at Art Crawl!

Oh yay!!! I could not ask for a better mythical person, then! And OMG, so I went the other day to sit down and work on this in between lectures, and I kept thinking that I simply could NOT be the only person who's ever wanted MM and Cap to meet, and searched AO3 but got nothing. And now I realize that I must have put search info in the wrong areas (I was using my mobile phone), because there's your wonderful story!!!

I love it so much -- that Steve wanted to put his stuff in Art Crawl, yes, absolutely, of course he would. And what a great place for him to get back in the saddle with his art. And that he keeps trying to convince MM that he's not Cap, until he has to show his hand because there's a glue monster! It is delicious and perfect.

Thank you so much! I love artist!Steve a lot and it seemed like Wendy would totally understand the tension between being a working superhero and a working artist. *g*

I adore artist!Steve, too. Artistic guys with superpowers give me hearts in my eyes. I'm writing this (what's turning out to be stupidly long) WIP thing where I have Sam hooking Steve up with a group called Urban Sketchers, who meet at places around the city and draw, and post things to a central blog. I think Sam would totally see the therapeutic value of Steve getting back a little of artist!Steve!!

I'd like to read your story but can't find it under your profile on AO3

That's weird but I guess it's a few years old now, so it'd be back a few pages. It's here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/247754
