Rec-A-Weekend | Week 51 A
Title: An Ever Fixed Mark
Author: elspethdixon, seanchai
Fandom: Marvel 616
Characters/Pairings: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Wanda Maximoff, Janet Van Dyne, Hank Pym
Summary: Loki accidentally turns Tony into a woman. Steve is less than thrilled. Hijinks ensue.
Wordcount: 70,947
Why it's awesome: Long, plotty, and a magical genderswap done extremely well. Tony's reaction to suddenly being in a female body is pretty realistic, and his reaction to finding himself more-or-less magically pregnant is the most realistic one I have ever seen in a fanfic. Not that I have many to compare it with, since as soon a pregnancies are involved, I usually stay away, but trust in the authors' skills made me read this anyway and I wasn't disappointed. (Do pay attention to the warnings in this regard, though.)
As usually, all the characters are written wonderfully, not just Steve and Tony, and the whole plot behind swapping Tony's gender actually makes a lot of sense - and is pretty twisted.
