Thieves, by orange_crushed

Okay, so we'll be having plenty of influx of TDKR fic recs soon, yes? Pretty please?


Fandom Category: Batman/The Dark Knight Rises
Pairing: Selina Kyle/John Blake, minor Selina Kyle/Bruce Wayne
Fic Title: Thieves
Author: orange_crushed
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/470569
Rating/Warning(s): teen and up
Genre: drama
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: Okay, I'm a Selina/Bruce OTP by nature, but let's face it. JGL was rather distracting when he was onscreen too. This story is well written with a gorgeous Selina voice, as the city tears itself apart. Without going into spoilers, it could just as easily be canon for the movie.

Kid's Movies, by Flossy Things

[moonymuch.livejournal.com]

Fandom Category: Captain America, Thor, The Avengers
Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers
Fic Title: Kid's Movies
Author: Flossy Things
Link: http://circusbones.tumblr.com/post/28000092248/kids-movies-a-steve-darcy-fic-chapter-12-hearts
Rating/Warning(s): M
Genre: Friendship/Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: Most Darcy/Avengers stories feature Darcy as the the pursuer, especially if it's a Darcy/Steve or Darcy/Bruce story. This is different in that most of the chasing and persuasion falls to Steve. Darcy's hang-ups about dating a superhero (especially one like Steve) are true to life and well-realized. I love that Steve isn't too much of the blushing innocent here because let's face it: he was in the Army, and Bucky was his best friend. This is a Steve that is pretty comfortable making the moves, even if he doesn't know exactly what he's doing. The humor and drama are well-balanced, and I love all of the team cameos. The crowning glory for me, though, is the author's portrayal of Steve. I dare you not to fall in love with him.
