• CA/MCU: By Choice or By Habit, by Sholio.
  
  He is useful. He holds onto that. He is useful and a useful tool will not be thrown away. (For illumynare's request: How about something with Bucky realizing the Avengers actually think of him as a person? And off I went to the utterly shameless h/c place.)
  
  --> Lovely and teamy and not too sweet.

• TeW: come september, by M_Leigh.
  
  "The last time he saw Stiles was almost two years ago, now, in the winter. He was taller than Derek remembered, his face harder, his shoulders broader. His hands looked like a man’s hands and his face looked like a man’s face but when he smiled he was Stiles again, doofy and slightly terrifying."
  Stiles moves back home.
  
  -- > Sweet and lovely and a bit melancholy.

• History Boys: you can't explain away the poetry, by kaydeefalls.
  
  "Right," Dakin said. "It's time we finally relieved you of the terrible burden of your virginity."
  
  -- > Wonderful and lovely and so true to these chracters. I love how the author gets into Scripp's head and how he reconciles his faith with his sexuality.

• HP: Angels and Ministers of Grace, by chiralove.
  
  Snape survives, Potter vists him.
  
  -- >This is a beautiful story. Sad, but not weepy, and very poignant. Beautiful imagery. It stayed with me. It really gives a glimpse into the characters' minds.

• SGA: City of the Ancestors, by penknife.
  
  It's a beginning. - Set during and just after 'Rising'.
  
  -- > Oh, I love Teyla here. Her voice rings very true to me, and I like her calmness (which we see on the show often) but also her curiosity and perceptiveness.
  I love how this story captures how strange these people must be to each other.

• BtVS: Five Things The Chip Was Never Marketed For, by sangpassionne.
  
  Based on the five things challenge, this story assumes that Spike was recaptured during The Initiative (4.7) and offers five possible futures for him. All events after that episode happened as we saw it on screen, only without Spike’s presence. All scenarios take place during the time period of AtS season 5, so there may be a few character spoilers.
  
  -- >Dark and disturbing and revealing and psychological sound. Brilliant.

• TeW: Goddess Below, by Unloyal_Olio.
  
  Peter sneaks into the vestal temple looking for a virgin. He finds Stiles.
  
  -- > Great Peter-voice, lovely use of dubious consent.
  Head the warnings though.

• CA/MCU: Another Sky, by Zelos (Zelus).
  
  It was telling that people kept briefing him on Steve Rogers.
  Spoilers for Captain America: the Winter Soldier.
  
  -- > Great missing scene with a nice Wilson voice.

• CA/MCU: have you ever thought just maybe, by Desdemon.
  
  “JARVIS,” Tony called thoughtfully.
  “Yes, sir?”
  “Those young people are in love,” he said.
  
  -- > Really fluffy, but just the right thing after an emotionally draining, psychologically sound story. Great Tony-voice, although a little fanon-y.
