Avengers
Anchor Point by
Ladycat
Natasha gives Darcy a tied up Clint as a gift. Darcy and Clint are very grateful. Hot hot hot.
and don't you dare be late by
irnan
time travel shenanigans catapult Peggy Carter into the future. She and Steve finally get their happy ending. Oh, heart. And the awesome prequel, spectrum, explaining how the Avengers rescued Bucky.
around me lies a somber scene by
haipollai
Clint and Steve wait while Natasha and Bucky are out on a mission. Lovely.

But people look at Steve now and see him, and that's…Bucky knows it shouldn't make him angry, knows that it's not anybody's fault. Howard Stark, with his clipped accent and his sharply rationed attention, isn't to blame for all the people who passed Steve by before; Peggy Carter, with her kind eyes and killer right hook, isn't every dame Bucky ever watched push Steve aside. It's not their fault that Bucky looks at them and thinks Pal, you've got no idea; it's not their fault that Bucky looks at them and thinks, Fuck you, I got here first. Sharp look at Bucky and at Steve from Bucky's POV. With pining and kissing. *happy sigh*

Nice backstory for Maria Hill in the movieverse.

Sweet, fun Steve/Darcy.

Natasha ruminates on the team. Short but lovely, actually made me tear up a little. &TEAM;
Having A Bit of a Day, Here by
kellifer_fic
"Look, buddy. I'm not the wallflower type. I'm not going to just hang around with my pompoms waiting for you to swoop in and out. I'm involved in your life, in the things that happen to you and sometimes it's not the safest place to be but I wouldn't choose to be anywhere else."
"You can't make me like it."
"I wouldn't expect you to. Just like you wouldn't expect me to like you throwing your silly ass off buildings and just trusting someone's going to be there to catch you." When Clint looks shifty at that, Darcy says, "Oh yeah, I saw that news footage."
Adorable Clint/Darcy. Darcy's invulnerable, and then she isn't. Clint doesn't handle it well, either way.
Hold My Breath and Jump Right In by
devildoll
Bruce understands fear, and he understands hatred of losing control, so he also understands perfectly well why Natasha wants to have sex with him. He's her bogeyman, the monster under the bed, the strange noise in an empty house. The difference, though, is that he's real, and he does hurt people, so it's not a bad idea for most people to be afraid of him. Natasha, like everyone else on the team, isn't even close to being like most people.
She ran from the Other Guy once, and she won't do it again, though it's unlikely she'll ever need to at this point. But not running isn't enough for someone like her-she won't be happy until she's pushed back at him, shown him she's not afraid, proven she can handle him.
Bruce is okay with being handled. Smart, hot Bruce/Natasha, in which Natasha is very much the one in charge. Very much how I think it would go with them.

"Ladies and gentlemen," says Tony, and he's so fucking delighted with himself that he actually hops from one foot to the other, too gleeful to even stand still. "Allow me to present to you the world's first functioning lightsabre." UTTER AWESOME HILARITY.
Moving Targets by
Artemis2050
He stops short.
And she moves as fast as lightning, as fast as a snake, as fast as Natasha Romanova. She has him up against that pillar with an arm against his neck before he can draw a breath, and without a weapon he has no defense against her. She's always been able to match him blow for blow and then some in a fair fight anyway.
She drops her arm away from his throat and sits down on the incongruous piece of furniture, because god knows she's never going to be on her knees, no matter what. "Come on," she says for the third time. Her eyes drop to his crotch. "I don't have all night." Sharp, achy, hot and hopeful Clint/Natasha during the cleanup after the movie.
Neither Birthday Gifts nor Barter by
dith
Bruce tries to find a way to thank Tony for giving him a home. Using SCIENCE.
Never Have I Ever by
Lenore
Natasha smiles and holds him down with a little more force, and there's a playful spark in her expression that seems to promise: We can pull out the ropes next time if you want.. How could she know? And then it strikes Steve that maybe that's what sex is, a way of finding out about someone. Maybe it's not so complicated after all. Natasha helps Steve cross a few things off his list. Hot and sweet. And I love that they're co-conspirators in having sex.
No Qualifications Needed by
Isagel
Tony really likes Bruce. This is hot and sweet in a very Tony Stark kind of way.
Our Deal by
Zee
Really good post-movie Clint/Natasha.
Pepper Potts' Home for Half Healed Heroes by
Vera_DragonMuse
A sweet look at a quiet day in Pepper's life with her two genius boyfriends and the rest of the Avengers.
Progress Reports, Pancakes, and Paper Planes by
such_heights
Some steps along the way as the Avengers slowly become a team, through Natasha's eyes. Lovely.
Promises murder us backwards by
FireEverything &
MarieLikesToDraw
I remember everything, he tells them, English clear and precise and carrying Brooklyn in his tamped down defiance. If Steve knows it's a lie, well. He's not going to contradict him. Sharp, heartbreaking, yet hopeful (because STEVE) story about Bucky's slow integration back into Steve's life and his own head. With gorgeous artwork.
Putting Out Fires (With Gasoline) by penknife
Wistfully sweet Bruce/Tony/Pepper.
Run to Ground by
holli
Steve and Natasha go on a life-changing field trip. To find the Winter Soldier. This is exactly what I want from the movies. Steve and Natasha finding Bucky and bringing him home, with achingly tender threesome action.
She's a swell gal, with a gun in her hand by
eleanor_lavish
Steve thinks Natasha Romanoff is the most impressive girl he's ever met, and he might be a little bit in love. YES. THIS.

hollimichele
Hot and sweet Steve/Bucky/Natasha, with pegging.
Soft Skills by
Lady_Ganesh
The team tries to bring Steve Rogers into the 21st Century. It mostly works. Oh, Steve. <3 <3 <3 Especially the bits with him and Pepper. also, ♥TEAM♥ Plus! surprise mention of Eli! ♥
A Space Between by
enigma_eggroll
Really lovely, slow-growing romance between Steve and Darcy.
Stark, A.E., and R. Bruce Banner. "Biodosimetric Tools for Measuring ..." by
thingswithwings
Tony spends a lot of time having sex with Bruce - and the Hulk - in the name of SCIENCE! Adorably sweet. I think my favorite part is that Bruce even lets him have first author.
they say that the world was built for two by
liveonthesun
Sweetly melancholy Steve/Bucky.
Things More Intimate by
icarus_chained
This is a really sweet, yearning look at how Steve sees Natasha (and how she just might be looking back), worth wading through the overuse of ellipses in the writing. I also just really like stories where Steve views the world - and the people in it - as an artist, and what that allows him to see.
till i wake your ghost by
lanyon
There's a kill order out on the Winter Soldier, and Steve thinks he might be hallucinating. Lovely (if a bit British in spots). And the Bucky POV: push your old numbers
when we first came here by
irnan
Sometimes he wanders the streets of his city and thinks that New York is changed so completely he barely recognises it, changed so much Steve doesn't know how he finds his way home at night, changed to the point where it's not his city anymore, panic-attack-inducing knowledge, burning against his skin, struggling to rip itself out of him in a howl -
Until he turns a corner, and knows that house, those trees, the stretch of sky above that rooftop, grounding him, settling and centering him. It's to capture those moments, that familiarity, that he asks Tony about cameras, and begins a project of chronicling the city he loves.
Occasionally one of the others will catch sight of a photograph or a drawing he's done and ask for a print. by the time they've lived in the Tower a year, one of Steve's pictures hangs framed in just about every room in the place. Steve, settling into the future. The bit with Maria Hill comes out of nowhere, but otherwise this is really lovely.
Without the Usual Cost of Labor by
vain_glorious
"You're not saying no," Tony says, pointedly.
"It sounds plausible," Bruce admits. "They had all kinds of samples. I know they did."
"Poorly secured," Tony states more than asks. Bruce just shrugs.
"What I don't get," Bruce begins, then trails off. "This is not the first thing I'd do. Or the second. Or…"
"Yeah," Tony agrees. "Why are the villains always so stupid?"
"I'm not sure stupid is the right word," Bruce says. "You tell anyone about this?"
"I was waiting for a second," Tony says. "You want to make a motion?"
"There are a lot of steps between the idea and the execution."
"It says they 'successfully produced viable offspring,' on the last report," Tony quotes. "That's what sent the flare up to SHIELD."
Bruce nods, shrugs again.
"You just don't want it to be true," Tony says.
"Well, yeah," Bruce says. "Do you?" This is a sweet and funny take on a fairly dark premise. Oh, Steve.
Women's Weapons by

Ridiculously hot Pepper/Natasha/Maria (Hill).

Seven ways Tony's personal jet gets demoted to 'transatlantic taxicab'. (Nobody believes him when he claims to mind.) adorable teaminess.
