Fanfic rec

Turns out that reccommending an old favourite makes one check up on the writer’s more recent productions, and was that ever rewarding! Behold what I found:

Brisingr (155649 words) by ironychan
Chapters: 31/31
Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Jane Foster/Thor, Wanda Maximoff/Vision
Characters: Jane Foster (Marvel), Tony Stark, Vision (Marvel), Wanda Maximoff
Summary:
When Jane Foster discovers an object on a course for the inner solar system, it looks like a job for the Avengers. But when what looked like a comet turns out to be a refugee ship from another galaxy, it's not clear whose job this is anymore. Tony Stark and the Vision find they have an uncomfortable amount in common with the creatures called the Brisings, while Jane learns that the aliens are being followed by something they thought they'd left behind five million years ago. Set post-AOU, pre-CW.

This is a wonderfully well plotted story, with complicated aliens (who have their own history and want something other than invade) to please my inner Star Trek loving heart. It’s one of those rare Marvel fics to give Jane Foster a central role, and one that’s about Jane as a scientist. Also, it’s a fantastic example of how to write two characters with opposite povs on how to deal with a key issue (in this case Jane and Tony), with both of them having good reasons for their respective attitudes, without making either of them less than sympathetic or three dimensional. And it offers hands down the best use of MCU Vision I’ve yet seen in either fanfic or movies. In conclusion, I love it to bits!
