With a cold front moving through our area - I suddenly found myself in the mood for an MCU holiday fic... in particular one I cannot recall the name of (what a surprise - I'm certain you're all shocked by that revelation *G*).... If it will gain me any sympathy points I was in the hospital for nearly a month after nearly dying of a very bad, very ( Read more... )

Happy new year, all, and let me start out with some recommendations. The first is called The Book Throwing Thing, written by AdamantSteve. The owner of a small coffee shop talks about two of his regular customers, Phil and Clint. (This is before and after the Battle of New York.) The second story is by ShippersList, called Safety Nest. A bit ( Read more... )

Most stories, if/when the subject comes up, is assumed to be Catholic, or maybe Protestent.  I've run across a scant few stories where Steve Rogers has converted to Islam or is Jewish.  In looking these up to read and enjoy again I started to wonder if there were any stories were Steve (or any of the tean and Avengers' family -- I can see Darcy as ( Read more... )

This idea popped into my head from misreading a heading on this site.  I wonder if there are any stories about someone trying to cash in on their connection, no matter how vague, to any of the Avengers.  Maybe someone who knew Hawkeye during his circus days selling his/her story to the press.  Or a child or grandchild (or a bitter ex-spouse looking ( Read more... )

I recently watched the CSI Vegas episode Slaves of Las Vegas, which was the introduction of the wonderful character of Lady Heather (Kessler).  She started out as the Mistress of the Dominion, but later became a psychologist. A check with AO3 and the only interesting crossover I could find was with Supernatural.  I wonder if anyone had Lady Heather ( Read more... )

I had a couple of stories queued up to read, but then had problems and had to shut my laptop down, which made me lose the list.  So I figured I could just expand the list to other such stories.  All I remember about the list was Tony getting back at Thunderbolt Ross for his actions against the Avengers, mainly but not limited to Bruce.  I'm ( Read more... )

I just read American Patrol by Copperbadge (an author I highly rec) again where someone attempted to hack Jarvis, shutting down the tower completely, but was defeated in a 30 hour cyber battle with Stark, Banner, and a team trained by Tony just for such an event .  I wondered if there were any other fics where someone tried to hack Jarvis in what ( Read more... )

I've seen this in real life (usually with kids), and in movies.  I've seen thin in other fanfic fandoms (The Sentinel and Magnificent Seven, to name two).  I'm wondering if this has been done for the Avengers.  It could be after a battle, on the trip back home.  Or maybe after a long day and they get together to go out to dinner.  The team/group ( Read more... )

Hi everyone ( Read more... )

This is an offshoot of sorts for a search for a lost story in a different fandom that didn't work out.  I got to thinking I'd like to see this story line in the Avengers.  The first characters I thought of was Steve and Tony in a relationship.  When Bucky comes back into Steve's life he leaves Tony in his dust.  How does he react; how much does he ( Read more... )
