As the Cardinal Flies

Busy writer is busy: I picked up a pinch hit for Remix Revival, and also filled a Remix Revival Madness prompt. (And I have my Yuletide assignment, but that's a different post....)

The pinch hit remixes an MCU/Iron Man episode wherein Tony has - perhaps unwisely - made a bet with Captain America that he can go for 24 hours without making use of any of his personally customized techie-toys (including, obviously, JARVIS). Unlike most of my prior remixes, this one is not primarily a POV shift, and it keeps most of the original work's plot. The difference is in the detail - more JARVIS, some shifting of emphasis on the way through, and a very different climax.

The Madness item is a short ficlet concerning pre-canon (Abrams movieverse) Jim Kirk's reaction to having four eccentric English youngsters move in next door to his small-town Iowa home - said youngsters being the four Pevensie protagonists of the Narnia adventures, which the work being remixed postulates as having taken place on a distant planet rather than a world beyond a wardrobe. This one was more typical for me, being a straight viewpoint reversal, and represents my first foray into both these fandoms (I've done Star Trek before, but not Abramsverse).
