Avengers
The Alternative Is Grad School (The Drysuit Remix) by
circ_bambooWorking for SHIELD is even more exciting than Darcy expected. This is adorable and kind of hilarious.
I Take My Children Everywhere (But They Always Find Their Way Home) by
kellifer_ficSteve and Tony get de-aged. Coulson, Clint, and Darcy take turns babysitting. I enjoyed wee!Steve and wee!Tony being adorable (though I found Pepper's complete absence rather glaring).
Louder Than Bells by
carleton97 and
Sister_WolfDarcy makes an offhand remark to Tony that snowballs. This is adorable and hilarious.
two left...something by
soundslikej"Barton." Even half-asleep and muffled in a pillow, there was a note of command to her voice that made him stop dead in his tracks, halfway across the cabin. "Stop pacing, or I'm going to break whatever bones are left intact in your body."
"There are six and a half paces from one wall to the other," he told her. "The half keeps throwing me off."
She made a low frustrated noise and sat up, the thin blanket sliding down from her shoulders. "Take smaller paces, then," she told him. "Or better yet, get over here and get some sleep, like you were ordered to."
He shook his head. "We're getting debriefed when we get back," he said. "I can't forget anything." really lovely story of Clint and Natasha's partnership.

Iron Man/Spider-man
(Secret) Meeting Like This by
BlackEyedGirlTony doesn't find most people that interesting. Spider-Man is definitely interesting. It's not even the secret identity thing - SHIELD is full of people who may or may not be using their legal name during interactions with Tony. Spider-Man's not even the only person Tony's ever worked with without seeing their face (he really hopes Fury knows who was on the other end of those Helicarrier conference calls).
The secret identity doesn't hurt the intrigue, but its main effect is just to make Tony so curious that he pisses the kid off. 'Kid' is still a hazy concept, but he's definitely got the age narrowed down to 'younger than me, old enough to drink' which is fair enough.
"There must be people who know," Tony says.
"Why must there?" Adorable bantery Tony/Peter that remembers Peter is a science geek.
