Hi, all!
harmonyangel here, and I'll be bringing you Marvel Universe recs for the month of April. I'm not sure if I'll have a theme of any kind, but I'm going to endeavor to rec a variety of fics about a variety of characters in the Marvel comicsverse, including some lesser-known characters. So, as part of that effort, I'm going to kick off the month with a Dum Dum Dugan rec.
Fandom: MARVEL COMICS
Pairing: Dum Dum Dugan/Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan/Mrs. Dugan
Length: 500 words

The big, unassuming, devoted redhead with the fedora and the moustache is one of the most underrated characters in Marvel Comics, and
caia_comica captures him beautifully here, in impressively few words. Every detail feels just right, and the sparkling life she gives to Nick Fury and Dum Dum's ex-wife in even fewer words only adds to the story's appeal.
In case I haven't convinced you yet, here's a sample sentence:
Dum Dum'd almost given up on finding anyone who could affect him the way his wife could when he found someone even better. Sergeant Fury was more man than he'd ever met, and considering the *women* he knew, that was a helluva lot of man.Perfect Dum Dum Dugan fic. Check it out.
