Why this must be read: Because it's a very different kind of fic. Because it will make you smile. Because it's absolutely cute and adorable. Because it's Steve. BECAUSE IT'S PHIL COULSON.

Ahaha. Takes significantly less time to read than to make, too. (It would have been INFINITELY easier if I had actually had crayons instead of having to simulate them with a mouse in PSP.)

Holy crap - I thought you'd actually drawn that stuff with crayons and scanned it in. Now I'm even more impressed! :D

I drew the outlines and did the lettering on printer paper with a pencil. Then I scanned them in and laboriously mouse-colored them, fussing with the brush texture to make it look crayony. All told, the whole thing took something like three or four days. I was remarkably pleased with the results.

I was constantly having to tell myself it was going to be worth it. Thankfully I was right. XD

You were definitely right!

I think that in your place, I would have just gone out and bought a box of crayons, TBH. ;)
