Summary
What are you supposed to do during a hurricane besides ask people for prompts and write them short!fic?
Note
So, with Sandy looming and basically everything ever shut down, I have pretty much nothing to do. So I asked my friends to prompt me things to write short!fic for, and filled those prompts over the next three days.My goal with these was and is to fill each prompt in one sitting and fewer than 750 words and to write something that my prompter would like. To each of those ends I was at least mostly successful.There are a few people who constantly enable me and egg me on whenever I get ideas, and as much as I whine about it on twitter, I really can't thank them (or enable them back) enough. They didn't let me down this time, either. So, many thanks to tawg, Mikey, selenay, and candesgirl -- you are all lovely!

Steve gets his hand stuck in a can of Pringles

Steve has tried a lot of food since he woke up, but those crisps in a can are some of his favourites. They come in so many different flavours! Some of them aren't very good, but he really likes the 'ranch dressing' ones.

The only problem is, that can is so tiny and his hands are... well, not. And he can't reach the bottom few crisps, and then they have to assemble, and Captain America looks really stupid fighting the forces of evil with a can of ranch dressing flavoured crisps stuck on one hand.

He tries to hide it behind his shield or something, and at some point the bottom of the can breaks and crisps go flying everywhere. Clint notices and as soon as they've taken care of the problem, he's doubled over laughing. (Steve's pretty sure he sees tears in Clint's eyes. He doesn't think it's that funny.)

Steve asks Bruce for help once he re-joins the rest of the team; he's pretty sure that the doctor is the only one who won't make fun of him later for it. Bruce smiles like he wants to laugh, but he just gets a pair of scissors and cuts the remains of the battered cardboard tube off of Steve's hand and wrist.

"Next time, try dumping some of them out onto a napkin," he suggests.
