Fic and Vid Recs: Avengers movieverse, Criminal Minds
ETA: A vid rec, too.
Bradcpu's "Ride to California" is both gorgeous and fun.
It's been awhile since I recced fics, but here are some of the stories I've read and enjoyed lately. (There may be some unintentional repeats of previous rec lists.)
Avengers movieverse
You Might Need it Someday (15450 words) by

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Marvel (Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Clint Barton/Darcy Lewis
Characters: Clint Barton, Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, Natasha Romanov, Phil Coulson
Summary:
It all started because Clint’s a whistler and Darcy has always liked 80s music. Lunch ensued. This story has also now been podficced by the amazing Sorcha: http://www.sendspace.com/pro/bzmeyg
This is a lot of fun, with delightful flirting and a Darcy voice that pleases me.

Relationships: Clint Barton/Darcy Lewis
Summary:
Clint's got a secret love, and it's spelled b-a-n-j-o.
Darcy is the most amazing girl to ever amaze here, and Clint Barton makes my heart squeeze. This is a delightful story, with some fantastic ensemble work in the background.

Summary:
The story of how Darcy Lewis accidentally helps found the Avengers while having an epic, failboaty romance with that dude she nailed in a bar two years ago. Tasers, jackbooted thugs, Tony Stark, and life-altering job offers are par for the course when you help discover an alien/god dude with amazing pecs.

Characters: Clint Barton, Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, Thor (Marvel), Bruce Banner, Pepper Potts, Tony Stark, Phil Coulson, Sif (Marvel), Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, Nick Fury
Summary:
"You want me to have HR arrange some team building for you?" Fury sounds incredibly skeptical.
"No, no. God, no." Tony shudders at the thought of trust falls and talking about his feelings. "Pool party in Malibu. I've already got Darcy working on it."
This series fills me with delight, though it uses far too much ableist language. I love Darcy's voice, and the way the team interacts is just charming and fantastic and fun.

When Darcy takes Clint home for the holidays as her fake boyfriend, he charms his way into the family, and into her pants heart.

Relationships: Jane Foster/Thor, Bruce Banner/Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Steve Rogers/Thor, Everyone/Everyone
Characters: Thor (Marvel), Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Pepper Potts, Jane Foster
Summary:
Thor wonders whether any of them know. He wonders if like tears without shame it is something Midgardians do not do, or if it is rare, like the tale of the Rings of Power, or if it is something that needs only be asked for as Thor asked Natasha to spar with him.
OMG AVENGERS POLY FAMILY FOR THE WIN! (Oh, beloved Darcy, how I wish you were a part of this too.) I love the way Thor interacts with everyone, and the sweet, comfortable family they are all creating.

Rating: General Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanov, Thor (Marvel), Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, Phil Coulson
Summary:
Pepper leaves, and there’s no more pizza, and Thor’s already talked about Jane, and Tony suspects all of them realize, abruptly and simultaneously, that they actually have no idea what to do now. He is, in fact, pretty certain that they’re just a few minutes away from someone deciding to say something about the weather. It’s probably going to be him.
//SPOILERS for the film.
I view this as more Avengers poly family and all the ways they are delightful together, but it is also a nice look at team mates becoming friends becoming family.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Rape/Non-Con, Underage
Relationships: Jennifer "JJ" Jareau/Will LaMontagne, Aaron Hotchner/Haley Hotchner
Characters: Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, Penelope Garcia, Aaron Hotchner, David Rossi, Jennifer "JJ" Jareau
Summary:
Spencer Reid is turning 12 and about to graduate from high school, but he’s finally made friends: there’s JJ, the soccer-playing, straight-A student who used to drink too much; there’s Penelope Garcia, the pigtailed hacker who wears the brightest-colored clothes Spencer’s ever seen; there’s Derek Morgan, the football player who defends him from the other jocks; there’s Emily Prentiss, the friendliest goth in town (not that there are many in their small, rural town); there’s Dave Rossi, in his second attempt at senior year - but only because he refuses to finish his missing PE credits. And there’s Aaron Hotchner - Hotch - who just wants to date Haley Brooks, but doesn’t have the faintest idea how to do so.
High school is hard enough as it is, but on top of that, someone is drugging and raping girls at parties. As they learn more about the attacks, it becomes clear that Spencer holds the key to figuring out who is responsible, and saving one of their own.
Never thought I'd so very much love a Criminal Minds high school alternate universe, but I adore the hell out of this one, and wish there was more to read.
Will this is but a drop in the list of things I've read lately. I'm always looking for more great stories, so please, if you have any recs (I'm particularly on Avengers movieverse [which includes all the other movies about them] and Criminal Minds, but any will do), I'd love it if you dropped them in the comments.
