- The one where the Minions watch too many 80s romantic comedies and Steve Rogers gets a date.
Notes
lostdaemon posted an imagine to typhoidmeri (aka Merideath) on Tumblr:
"I can't help imagining an "evil" Darcy who keeps setting up "villainous" attacks (that never harm anyone) just so she can kidnap and flirt with Cap for awhile. Him chained to a table for a candle lit dinner while her Minions are attacking the Avengers. Moonlit stroll with him on a shock collar. Finally Steve gives up and asks her on a date, no Avengers and no Minions. ... just decided Darcy is one of the kids from "Despicable Me" all grown up. ;)"
On May 15, 2014, Merideath posted the collection of Minion verse drabbles as a chaptered story on Archive of Our Own.

Animated gifs of 'It's sooo fluffy' and minions screaming in excitement. "This is perfect and gorgeous and I can just imagine it. The fact that Steve himself wants to date her too just sent this over the edge."[2]
"Seriously, not work safe! I was giggling so loudly that people were staring. :)"[4]
"I can't help but sigh with pleasure. That last scene is so sweet, I am practically swooning in my seat. Well done as always"[5]
"I'm screaming, just screaming! This is so crazy it's perfect!! :D"[6]
"The smile on my face is a million miles wide - I can’t stop flailing and squealing. This is adorable. I freaking love the minions and Steve’s confusion and Darcy’s blushes. Perfect prompt response is perfect. :)"[7]
"So sweet, so happy, I love it. :) I especially like the dialogue between Gru and Darcy (it's all too easy to envision Gru's upraised finger when he says 'lightbulb' and foists off Doctor Horrible as a good candidate for Darcy. And the other little details sprinkled in there, the way that Darcy's Vespa looks, and, as always, the minions. The little nosy troublemakers.
Nice job, hon. "[9]
"Hahahaha!! I just found this fic and have read it all the way through - it's so adorable! Who knew Despicable Me and the Avengers could mesh so well? Besides you, of course - because you have done a brilliant job of it! I am loving this and eagerly awaiting more minions, er, chapters :)"[10]
"So I'm gonna be honest, I totally skipped over this story for a while, thinking that I wouldn't enjoy it. Finally caved in after seeing it what felt like EVERYWHERE and I love it!!! Haha I love how well you blended the two worlds together. Really hope that you continue with this story!!! xoxo"[11]
