A couple of stray recs
Today brought delightful fandom things that also fit a weirdly specific theme: morally gray canon villains-slash-allies as small cute animals.
philomytha wrote an absolutely charming AU in which von Stalhein is a stray alley cat rescued by Biggles, The Grey Cat - also there is an additional coda written by me in Philomytha's comments to the DW version, and this comment thread about cat!EvS's clandestine activities replicating human!EvS's undercover canon past. (Edit: and now two more commentfics in the comments!)
Anyway, somehow the Biggles/EvS dynamic maps perfectly onto Biggles trying to tame this awful stray cat while completely shutting down anyone's efforts to tell him why this is a bad idea or say mean things about his terrible cat. Stop asking questions, this is his cat now, why are people making a big deal about this, of course it's living in our shed now, Algy, why do you ask.
So there was that, and then I ran across this art on Twitter of Zemo as a hamster. It's the one where he's cupped in Bucky's hands that really gets to me, I think. Also, he's just so round.

Algy: he coughed up a hairball on my pillow and spent half an hour yowling to be let in and then let out again, and you still want to keep him? maybe if you stop feeding him he'll go bother someone else instead
Biggles: did you see how he chased that dog all the way down the street! it's twice the size of him, isn't he brave!

(I may have another snippet of worried Algy and cat waiting for Biggles to get back...)

I think you should hang that quote on the wall. :)
