See now I need a fic of Steve Rogers learning about history and finding out how history has treated the USO girls
how they were a footnote
how they’re discounted as unimportant
how the memoirs they wrote about their experiences, the whole two of them who got published, are looked down upon
and he gets so pissed
especially after the few of them who are still alive make contact, maybe they come to see him, maybe he goes to visit
and one night he’s seething about it, some documentary on tv getting it wrong again
and Tony makes a crack, poking to see what’ll happen (he writes it down somewhere therefor it’s science)
and Steve starts ranting about how these women were his friends, they worked hard, they got treated like crap, like eyecandy, they were getting shot at just like everyone else but no one would let them shoot back, how sexist historians got everything wrong and their stories were worth telling and respecting
it’s the most passion Tony’s ever seen from Steve and it’s because people are slandering his friends, most long dead
and the next thing you know, the Maria Stark Foundation and HBO are announcing their next big mini-series
Star Spangled Girls
