It might be time to check in with [personal profile] viridian5 to deflate my sense of word count

Scribbled out another 646 words of Darcy and Loki fic. I have almost gotten to the punchline of the first scene. At about 1600 words of scene. (Total wordcount for the entire file, mostly outline: 9146. AND THAT IS ONLY FOR THE CON FIC, NOT THE WEDDING FIC.) Whyyyyy.

"Miss Lewis, I'm going to level with you," Coulson said. "Do you know what SHIELD's gameplan is for Loki?"

"Um, no?" Should she? That sounded like that should be top secret, because he hadn't said the Avengers, who mostly just did clean up because they couldn't guess well enough to get ahead of Loki. Coulson had said SHIELD, which did all kinds of spy shit and politicking and could be poised to assassinate Loki or sign over a continent to him and neither would surprise her. Antarctica, maybe, not too many people to evacuate, no natives, and maybe Loki would do them all a favor and fix the hole in the ozone to improve the property values. Except then he'd have a foothold, and--

"We don't have one," Coulson said.

"Oh," Darcy said in a very small voice. Maybe she should tell him the Antarctica idea. They'd lose the penguins, but still.


Also, I edited a cut of the song I'm vidding for (hopefully, if I get it done in time) Escapade. Yay! Cut it down from 3:17 to 2:24 and I think it works, it's tight, it doesn't leave me too much room to flail around and cry about how I'm vidding from trailers instead of a whole movie. (Oh my god, can we sync up AO3 and reality and cause the Avengers movie to already be out, SERIOUSLY.) And I think it sounds good!

I nearly went to go see Cap at the dollar theatre again for... focus. (Since you know, I have the DVD. But the theatre is something else.) I didn't because my head is a mess and I didn't feel like dealing with pure, unadulterated Steve. Augh, I wish I didn't have such a complicated relationship with characters, sometimes.

...I need a Darcy icon.
