Only A Ninja Can Call Another Ninja 'Ninja'.
So, as you are all no doubt tired of hearing, I have been sick for the last little while. A few days ago, to make myself feel better, I decided to try and catch up with my fic-reading as I am woefully behind on everything. I have to dedicate a week at least to catching up on all the Lewis fic ever written, especially lamardeuse's stories.
Anyway, here are two stories made out of rainbows, doughnuts, and unicorns that made me forget my sniffling misery.
siriaeve wrote Amid the Leaves of Grass, a sweet, hysterically funny Steve/Tony piece that had me clapping my hands with glee:
Steve drifted for a moment, thinking about that, which was why Tony's squawk of alarm startled him so much he almost tripped and fell into a mud puddle. "Where-what?" he said, looking up to the sky and half-expecting to see an attack coming from there. "Tony, are you-"
"The map! The map's back in the car, which is somewhere that is very definitely not here, and I don't have JARVIS and there is no GPS in nature, Steve."
"That's… true," Steve said slowly, "but-"
"Oh God, the Post is going to have a field day with this. 'Stark Found Dead in National Park.'"
"Tony, no one's going to-"
"'Experts Believe Reduced to Eating Granola Before Death.'"
"Trail mix bars, Tony, they're just-"
"We should probably start conserving our urine, just in case." The look in Tony's eyes was more than a little manic. "God, and I can't even Tweet about the fact that my threat level is currently BEARS when there might actually be bears around."
If you've never read Siri's work, you should go do that now because she is a faaaaaaaaaaabulous writer. Not only did this story have me sighing happily over how doofy in love Steve and Tony are, but this entire exchange had me flailing in helpless delight and laughter. Seriously, you guys, Tony's threat level is legit BEARS. How awesome is that?
I know this one has probably be recced all over the place by everyone and their sentient robot, but I'm putting it here just in case, like me, you hadn't caught this before.
Steve glances at him, then goes back to his drawing. “You’re going to feel terrible tomorrow.”
“I already feel terrible,” Tony says. “Your 95-year-old girlfriend just drank me under the table. It’s humiliating.”
Steve laughs, though it looks like he's trying not to. “She gives that stuff to everyone in the building. They all know better than to drink it.”
"We need to introduce her to Thor," Tony says. And he means it. It will be unbelievable.
So
devildoll wrote Semaphore, a Tony/Steve story that is now possibly my most favorite first-time story of all time for four reasons:
Asgardians and Chumbawumba.
Tony and Steve have the most painfully awkward relationship before they even get in bed. I love them and they break my heart constantly.
Miriam, the most awesome old lady in the history of existence. Fandom, I want so many more awesome old ladies of all faiths and colors to be in stories from now on. Honestly, I didn't know how much I needed this until I read it here.
Ryan fucking Reynolds, oh sweet Jesus, I laughed so hard, I cried. Also, Pepper is just fucking awesome.
The Avengers fandom just keeps making me happy. I cannot wait for the movie to come out so there can be fifty million more stories to be written and posted.
Off to have dinner and maybe read more amazing stories by wonderful authors.
