Still working my way through the
MCU Ladies Exchange and there are some absolute gems in there.
However, I believe I have to award the "holy shit" award to the fic "
I Came To Win" which is - of all things - an ice hockey AU. I am not North American, I don't have the faintest idea about ice hockey (a.k.a. "bloodsport on ice with sticks"), and I have work to do today, but I am maybe 1000 words into this fic and am utterly hooked.
Moreover, Maria hasn't even appeared in the fic yet!
Well done, author. Very well done!
(And yes, I will get to my story before reveals, I promise!)
eta: Maria has turned up and it is AWESOME.
