This being sequentialcrack, we're supposed to focus on comicsverses, but I'm going to rec a movieverse one here.

It's Pepper/Tony/Steve, with a Tony/Pepper prequel. There's a couple of things that really make this stand out to me.

One is the great dynamic between the central threesome; Tony and Pepper are a pretty functional couple, and their careful manouevring to fold Steve into that relationship is sweet, funny and very in-character. The three of them have distinct and individual relationships with each other; Steve and Pepper's fond attachment is different from Pepper and Tony's deep and slightly angsty love is different from Tony and Steve's cute mutual infatuation. The three of them balance out nicely, each bringing something valuable; while I believed the Tony/Pepper relationship worked, I feel like the addition of Steve added to it, and benefitted them, and him. I like the way they all take care of each other.

The other thing is the great attention given to the supporting characters. While the focus of the story is very much on the three main characters, the supporting characters are given a great deal of depth and personality in a small space. Natasha and Clint's dedication, and their different ways of showing that, Thor's passion and enthusiam, and Bruce's struggle with himself, they all build on what we see in canon in a very believable way. The attention to detail is great, showing us the balance of humour and seriousness in their lives.

The series is marked as a WIP, but each individual story is a complete work.
