Raise a Little Elf, by kellifer_fic

[live-brave.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: The Avengers
Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Clint "Hawkeye" Barton, background Jane Foster/Thor Odinson
Fic Title: Raise a Little Elf
Author: kellifer_fic
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/365843
Rating/Warning(s): PG
Genre: AU, Humor, Romance

Why This Must Be Read: There are a number of great Darcy/Clint fics out there, but this one has stolen my heart. The concept itself is hilarious - that Clint is secretly an elf - but the world-building is well-thought out and I love any fic that portrays the Avengers as an odd, dysfunctional, yet extremely loyal family.  It's the perfect mix of sweet and snarky banter between Clint and Darcy that steals the show, though.

Go. Read. You won't regret it.

Challenge 85: AU - Harry Potter - Hermione Granger/Harry Potter

[caitriona-3.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Harry Potter
Pairing: Hermione Granger/Harry Potter
Fic Title: Sunset Over Britain
Author: Bobmin
Link: http://bobmin.fanficauthors.net/Sunset_Over_Britain/index/
Rating/Warning(s): Mature - Adult situations, sex, death
Genre: Drama/Romance/Action/Adventure
WIP?: No, and neither is the sequel!

Why This Must Be Read: This is an epic length fic! To be precise, it has 378,513 words. (The sequel has 648,987!) Canon exists up until the end of 5th year, and then everything is free game. This becomes a bit of a Super!Harry fic, but it is done in a captivating way. At the end of Harry's 5th year, his life is in shambles. Things aren't going to get much better. He learns even more secrets and finds that trust should never be given easily. Families break apart, friendships become strained, allies become enemies, old enemies become allies, and the world begins to burn. (Note - you'll need to get the password because of the rating level...though I was able to log in with Facebook.)

It Began with a Nap, by pervyficgirl (pg-13)

[irony-rocks.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Captain America/Thor
Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers
Fic Title: It Began with a Nap
Author: pervyficgirl
Link: http://pervyficgirl.livejournal.com/345227.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: Crossover
WIP?: no.

Why This Must Be Read: Five times Darcy had to sit through a Captain America lecture, five times Captain America had to sit through a Darcy lecture, and the one time they just agreed with each other. Or, as I like to call it, a study in how Darcy introduces Captain America to the new era. It goes about as well as you'd expect. ;)
