"in some ways captain america is a makeover movie in where the makeover makes you a hero but you realise you were a hero all along and the girl you thought liked you bc of the makeover liked you all along but you had to go and save the world and missed your date by like 70 years". (quote)

The recipient of said makeover is one Steve Rogers, a scrappy little guy with a heart of gold from Brooklyn who is made into a super-enhanced guy (heart of gold still there), and the girl is Peggy Carter, a take-no-shit British agent who believes in him. Spoiler alert: they don't end up together. (Steve ends up getting frozen in time for a few decades, Peggy still lives on and has a life without him--and we might get to see some of her awesome adventures if that TV series comes to fruition!) But A.) what canonical time they spend together is lovely, and B.) fan fiction. All the fan fiction. (As far as I'm concerned, this happened and you cannot take that away from me, OKAY)

Anyway! The mix. "My Heart With You" has been on my "put this in a Steve/Peggy mix" list since I first saw the damn movie. I wanted it to have a softer sound, but I also really wanted to have "All the Pretty Girls" by fun. on it, because it seemed like such a great Steve POV song, but it's too damn bouncy, sigh. I think it still works without the rest, though!
