Casing You(rself): (Un)Characteristic
Fics in which an author has deliberately chosen to make a character act (at least somewhat) OOC (or, occasionally, more in character, thanks to bad writing/directing/executive decisions)
Often to highlight something about them as a character, &/or those around them)
(Occasionally simply in response to changed circumstances)
Some fics in which characters simply make (significantly) different choices to those made in canon,
Or which focus on character growth.
: ... is not a doormat (e.g. Tony/Izuku stands up for himself)
: ... makes a kinder choice (e.g. Talia takes Jason home)
: ... makes(/continues) a bad choice (e.g. Chim post-punch)
(Closed, Moderated)

If you got a do-over, what would you do? What would you change?
There aren't many who get the chance to actually make those decisions.
But Steve Rogers did.
And he saved the world.
Just not in the way he thought he would. -

Summary
She wishes she could go back and change things. If she had truly been focused on doing the right thing as Director of NCIS, then she should have focused on nurturing Tony.

Summary
A small change can have some large ripples
Word Count: 6,157
Author’s Note: So, this is a subtle divergence. The major change is Tony, his attitude and what he’s willing to accept. From there, the ripples should move out in broadening waves.
