    Summary

    “My mother's name was Sarah,” says Steve Rogers when they first meet. He's just lapped her four times on her morning run while being an unrelenting shit about it.

    “Yeah I bet she's real proud of you, annoying women joggers in the park,” says Sarah, hands on her hips and bent double from how hard she'd sprinted at the end.

    In which Sarah Wilson is the Falcon.

    Summary

    "[...] lesbians and gay men writing letters to their lovers and friends faced the special problem of wartime censorship. Military censors, of course, cut out all information that might aid the enemy, but this surveillance made it necessary for gay and lesbian correspondents to be careful not to expose their homosexuality. To get around this, gay men befriended sympathetic censors or tricked others by using campy phrases, signing a woman’s name (like Dixie or Daisy), or changing the gender of their friends. Sailors became WAVEs, boyfriends became WACs, Robert became Roberta. There must exist, hidden in closets and attics all over America, a huge literature of these World War II letters between lesbians and between gay men that would tell us even more about this important part of American history." - Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women In World War Two, by Allan Berube
