Reccer's comments: This is a fantastic Marvel crossover that weaves Mary’s mysterious backstory with the going’s on in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Spy Who Stayed For Tea is clever and funny, and it is an absolute delight seeing a certain character in the same room as Mary Morstan. And THIS, this Mary Morstan is one I can possibly even see myself liking while still being consistent with Season 3 canon. Everyone in this is deliciously in character and universally performing at a level that I can hear and see as if it were canon.

I tried and tried to decide on a section to excerpt, but ultimately I simply can’t decide on a piece that rises above the rest without the risk of spoiling any of the magnificent jokes or carefully crafted crossover details.
