Wings

Summary:

A playlist for the Junior Birdman of the Avengers.

Notes:

Fun fact: "Stayin' Alive" is used in EMT/first aid training as the perfect tempo for CPR chest compressions, because the song is exactly 100 beats per minute.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Notes:

This one is more of a work in progress than the others, in that it doesn't really have much of an implied plot/chronology to it and it doesn't really feel deep enough to me. It's a playlist about an awesome bird man, but I don't think I have mined Sam's soul for inspiration yet the way I have with some of the other fanmix characters. Too many obvious flying metaphors, not enough dealing with things like his loss of Riley or all the problems of being that friend who is also a therapist but really should not be his friends' therapist? I dunno. TL;DR everything in this series gets updated occasionally, but this one feels like it has farther to go still.
