Right, ok, so I'm fic-trawling for good Coulson and good Captain America stories (NEED MOAR NEED MOAR NAOW), and, as always, there is the good, the bad, and the ugly. But I'm getting the distinct impression that this is one of those fandoms where the lack of research is going to drive me bug-fuck.
1) Steve Rogers will not notice that the Twin Towers aren't there anymore.
2) Brooklyn =/= the Bronx =/= Manhattan =/= Queens. There are 28,000 people per square mile in NYC: these distinctions are important.
3) Slash Steve Rogers with whomever you please (in fact, please do!) but for God's sake, realize you're going to have to put some work into it. He got frozen in 1943, the Kinsey report doesn't come out until 1948. Dude is going to have some issues with the idea.
4) New Mexico is big, this is true. I have driven through lots and lots of it. It's huge, and there's a whole lotta nothing. (Also, thank you for not thinking you need a passport to get there.) However, if you drive 500 miles straight in any direction, you will likely no longer be in New Mexico.
5) The 1960s did not invent the drug culture. Just because Steve is as squeaky clean as they come doesn't mean he won't know what marijuana is. For example:
See what I mean?

Devil's Adequate on Tumblr, I hate you.
Because you thought of this before I did.
Curse you. :)
If you don't want to click through, folks, Devil's Adequate quite correctly points out that what we are dealing with here is... wait for it...

... Schrödinger’s Coulson.
Is he alive? Is he dead? We don't know!
