Shippy Memeage
I think I now write enough couples for this to be play-alongable, and this meme intrigued me, so:
Give me a couple/ship that I write or have written (or created or whatever) and I'll tell you:
How differently do they think of each other now compared to when they first met?
Where was their first date?
What do their friends/family think of their relationship?
How do their personalities/skills complement or contrast with each other?
What is their favorite aspect of each other?
Do either of them have pet peeves about each other?
How would each reconcile with each other after a fight?
What would be their ideal vacation getaway together?
OCs and AUs and all that jazz are cool.

Edwin and Anna Jarvis
How differently do they think of each other now compared to when they first met? Anna's uncanny ability to judge people accurately within seconds of meeting them means that nothing she has learned about Jarvis has surprised her at all. She had him pegged as a fussy, polite, very kind and sweet gentleman, and the only surprising thing is that he sometimes likes to go on dangerous adventures. But since he does it mostly in the name of doing The Right Thing, it's not that surprising. She expected him to do that.
The biggest change in Jarvis' view of Anna is that he realizes how brave she is. To have lived through the period of anti-Semitic laws in Budapest, which took away her ability to have a job or move freely and put her life in danger, and then to unhesitatingly follow an American who showed up at her door and told her to run, and take a chance that it would all work out with a man she hadn't seen in person in three years is remarkable.
Where was their first date? Jarvis' free time was very limited, so when he could get away to be with her, it wasn't for great periods of time. Their first official date was at a park, where they took a very long stroll around and chatted to one another. It took three loops of the park before Anna managed to sneak her hand into his. He kept walking with them clasped behind his back.
What do their friends/family think of their relationship? Jarvis' family is split on his relationship with Anna. His parents weren't very keen on him marrying a Jewish girl, and never quite came around to the idea of it, especially after the treason charges, but his siblings are more on board and they exchange letters and telegrams and the occasion phone call when international long distance became a thing. Anna only had her uncle left when Jarvis met her, but he approved of Jarvis very much. He'd passed away before Jarvis and Anna married, but Anna never had any doubts that Jarvis had his blessing.
Howard Stark is a full-on shipper of Jarvis and Anna. No one ships Jarvis and Anna harder than Howard Stark does. The rest of Anna and Jarvis' friends were made in America after they married, so met them as a pair. Most of them think of them as a very nice couple.
How do their personalities/skills complement or contrast with each other? Anna's silliness and tendency not to sweat the small stuff is a good contrast to Jarvis' propriety and fussiness, and his level-headedness is a good contrast to her tendency to dream. They both have a very strong work ethic, which means Anna has little resentment about Jarvis' devotion to the Stark family and he doesn't resent her staying late to finish a project.
What is their favorite aspect of each other? Jarvis admires Anna's generosity and kindness toward anyone who needs help. Anna likes Jarvis' dedication and his silly little English ways.
Do either of them have pet peeves about each other? Jarvis can't leave a task undone, which is on occasion annoying to Anna when she'd like to, you know, have some sex now while the moment is good. She can often get him into bed, but he won't stay there long after the afterglow, because he gets right back up to finish what he was doing before. But then he'll come back for snuggles, so that's okay, she supposes.
Anna leaves the television or radio or lights on, which Jarvis finds very distressing if no one is using them. Then he has to get up and turn them off. Sex is no excuse for wasting electricity, Annuska.
How would each reconcile with each other after a fight? Jarvis would bring some sort of very small token like a flower or a little pastry as a peace offering and give sincere apologies. Anna would do some sort of task for Jarvis to make his day easier, and kiss his cheek and say that she's sorry, too.
What would be their ideal vacation getaway together? Mr Stark is very generous with his properties, and Anna and Jarvis take his two week vacation per year at Mr Stark's vacation home in Nantucket. He mostly doesn't bother them, except if he can't find something really, really important. Like his pants. Or his favourite tie. Or, you know, that pen he had last week? Did you do something with that?

So your Jarvis has siblings, eh? Have they ever visited Jarvis in America? Have they met Stark?
no subject
Yes. Yes he does. Jarvis has two siblings who are a lot older than him, a brother named Bertram (Bertie), and a sister who I didn't give a name to, and then Jarvis came along as kind of an afterthought (which is probably a polite way of saying 'accident') and he has a younger sister, Agnes (Aggie), who is only a couple of years younger. I liked the idea of Jarvis, due to the age differences, being sort of the youngest, oldest, and middle sibling at the same time.
I just created them for my First Days fic, so I don't have too much information about them. Bertie was fighting in the war, so I don't even know if he survived (it's me, so he probably did). I suppose they might have visited Jarvis at some point, but Howard didn't meet them while he was in England, so he'd only have met them if they visited.
Howard: So, if you get more than one Jarvis in a room, the efficiency must go up by at least 50%, right?
Jarvis: I think Bertram is much more efficient than I am, sir.
Howard; Christ, is he on Benzedrine?
Jarvis: No, sir, he's just the oldest.
ETA: Nope, I'm wrong about my own headcanon, apparently. I was just rereading 'The Virtues of Being Useful' and it turns out I gave Jarvis two older brothers, and an older sister.
So it goes:
Bertram
Unnamed Brother
(slight age gap)
Unnamed Sister
(big age gap)
Jarvis
Agnes
This is how continuity errors happen. Constant vigilance!

I think this marks the first time I've spliced two pictures of an animal together. Ziyad's had a foot transplant.
Once again, I think the scale is okay. Although, now I am imagining how hilarious the size difference between Shess and Ziyad is.

I've been writing toddler JJ recently. He's three and Tony is improving his hearing aids, and JJ wants to know if Tony can give Victor hearing aids too, and Steve has to stop Tony from going 'challenge accepted' on it.

Yup! I feel like I've written random snippets of ficlets that take place throughout this 'verse. Starting from when Joan and Bucky first meet to when Winnie is an adult.
no subject
I've been trying to decide if JJ is an only child or not. I feel like Steve and Nora might have another kid and have no reason not have another one, but at the same time, have no real idea how that child would fit in. I wouldn't mind having a little sister for JJ who thinks Winnie is the coolest, though. Hmmm.
ETA: If you need a cute animal fix tonight:

Shess does like to keep up with the news.
Thanks for these!

Peggy's daughter: Do you want to have tea with me, Howard?
Howard: You know I do, sweetie, but I'm just talking to your mom here. Dejeni'll come, though, right Jen?
Dejeni: I am not going to--
Peggy's daughters daemon: Please?
Dejeni: I don't really like--
Haddie: Mrs Dejeni, do please join us.
Dejeni: ...fine. At least Junebug is using the playhouse Howard built her.
Takeo: Yes, it's very nearly bigger than our own house, sometimes we all go out there and spend the night.
no subject
Dejeni would probably be more uncomfortable than happy. But yeah, she'd feel some professional pride over the kids using the house Howard built them.
Takeo: We were all very impressed that it was built with running water. We've all had a bath in there.
Dejeni: Oh good. Howard wanted to skip over that but I told him details were important.
no subject
Dejeni: Oh good. Howard wanted to skip over that but I told him details were important.
Hehe! I'm picturing the angsty teenage years.
Peggy: ___ and I had a fight last night, so she's moved into the playhouse and apparently isn't coming out until I stop being the most embarrassing mother on the planet.
Howard: It's cold out, I should have put heating in there.
Peggy: You did, and thank you for completely missing all the important parts of the situation.
Howard: Did I do proper heating or just radiators? Because that thing must be forty years old now, I could do better.
Peggy: ___ is only 15 and you built it when she was two, and you're still not focusing on the right details.
Howard: Peggy, you've known me for this long, why did you think sharing your personal problems with me would be in any way helpful to you?
Peggy: ...Yes, that's a good point. The heating is fine.
