Another l'il Peggy Carter fic

[sholio]

So I wrote something for fan_flashworks' "Chemistry" challenge. According to the community rules, it can only be posted there until the end of the challenge period.

The Mother of Invention - Agent Carter, Peggy & Howard, gen, 1300 wds. It's wartime in Britain, and Howard Stark is attempting to bake a better cake.

(Technically this takes place during the first Captain America movie, so it contains no spoilers for the show, but I think of it more as an Agent Carter fic since it draws on characterization from the TV show.)

"Howard," Peggy said, "please do not poison anyone. Least of all yourself. If nothing else, think of the loss to the war effort."

Oh HOWARD.

I'm not sure why I find classic-style mad science so weirdly fun - on a fictional, "rule of cool" level, I mean, not as an actual real-life kind of thing - BUT I DO.
