So, in addition to participating in the Het Big Bang, I betaed three frickin' awesome epics, so I'd be remiss in not telling other people to read them in their finished forms.

( The Avengers seems to be the new Harry Potter. Everyone's doing it, any pairing goes, and it's all awesome. )

Fic Title: In Her Mother's Likeness
Author: vestigialwords
Link: Here
Rating/Warning(s): Teen and up audiences
Genre: Angst/Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: I have always been big on fics with an outside looking in theme and this is no exception, the author portrays the complex and striking relationship between Talia and Bane beautifully. She also paints a striking view on the relationship between Talia and her father or lack there of, using his relationship with here mother as a counterpoint. This hits on one of my other all time favorite situations: Two sides of a coin.

Rating/Warning(s): G
Genre: Drama, Romance
WIP? No

Why This Must Be Read: What happens when you take one Maria Hill (who is awesome) and one Steve Rogers (who is adorable) and slowly smoosh them together? You get a fic that shows lovely characterisations, an expansion of a minor character, and a romance that develops at just the right pace. A wonderful story that starts with a "five times" feel but ends as something much, much more.

Or just one rec, depending on how you look at it.

Fandom Category: The Avengers/Captain America
Pairing: Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers
Fic Title: Mono (the Super-Soldier Serum Strand)
Author: Della19
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/457692
Rating/Warning(s): T
Genre: fix-it fic
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: From the title and the summary - which makes it clear Peggy has become immortal by kissing Steve - I thought this story was going to be pure crack. It is not. It's actually totally serious and not once does the absurdity of the premise hurt the issues dealt with here; namely immortality and what it means to face a never-ending future as well as the lies necessary to live that kind of life. Don't get me wrong, it's fun too. Peggy doesn't let immortality stop her from living. Her journey through the twentieth century is true to character and ties itself very nicely into canon. She meets several familiar faces from The Avengers film over the years but it never feels like the author is imposing or forcing Peggy into places she doesn't belong.

Fandom Category: Iron Man/The Avengers
Pairing: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Fic Title: Yet Turning Stay
Author: irnan
Link: Here
Rating/Warning(s): Mother-issues.
Genre: Character study/romance
WIP?: No.

Excerpt:

Gin's mother died when she was eighteen; it was a car crash. Tony has known her eight years before he becomes aware that this is a thing they have in common. Pepper knew him eight weeks before she realised why she understood him so well.

Why This Must Be Read: A fantastic character study of Pepper Potts and a great look at how and why she and Tony worked so well together pre-Iron Man and continue to be amazing together post... everything.

Fandom Category: Iron Man
Pairing: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Fic Title: Games People Play
Author:

Rating/Warning(s): Sexual content, light BDSM, references to torture.
Genre: Porn with plot.
WIP?: No

Excerpt:

The cuffs are cold against her warm wrists as he snaps them closed, and for a moment there's a flutter in his chest that he can't entirely attribute to the arc reactor blazing away.

"You do have the keys to these, right?"

"Of course," Tony says. "Besides, I have a blowtorch."

"Oh, no," Pepper says. "We are not doing anything involving a blowtorch. That's a hard limit."

He's getting the idea that she's not as much of an amateur at this as he assumed. That's weirdly reassuring.

Why This Must Be Read:

If you've hung around fandom for a while, you know that bondage is not rare - a fic with the negotiation of bondage - what is okay and how much - is a lot rarer and the banter was so delightful that it took me a reread to realize the issues that Tony is actually working with.

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.

Someone wanted some more Avengers recs? Here you go!
Also, I have the huge urge to, just once, say "Darcy Lewis Can't Lose!"

Avengers/Thor Recs - 1 Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers, 2 Darcy/Loki Laufeyson, and 2 Darcy/Clint Barton

Title: All things being equal, I'd rather be in Philadelphia
Author: meinterrupted
Fandom: The Avengers/Thor movie-verse
Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers
Rating: Mature (language, violence)
Word Count: 8850
Summary: Darcy didn't sign on with SHIELD to be a hero. Too bad a group of bank robbers didn't give her a choice.

Why This Should Be Read: While the Darcy/Steve interaction is minimal, it's quite perfectly and understatedly romantic. The situation and detail are tense and realistic, the two female OCs are strong and believable, and Darcy Lewis displays courage, snark, and an extensive knowledge of Die Hard.

( Two Darcy/Loki and two Darcy/Clint beneath the cut )

Fandom Category: Avengers AU (With heavy influences from "Flowers for Algernon" & Pygmalion)
Pairing: Darcy/Loki, Jane/Thor
Fic Title: Entropy (Order and Disorder)
Author: Sigridhr
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/454082/chapters/779654
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17 for sexy times
Genre: aganst, romance
WIP?: No

Summary: Loki needs to open a Bifrost path from New Mexico to Asgard. He needs help, but there isn’t a human smart enough to be his copilot. So he takes an expendable human and makes her smart.

Why this Must be Read: So often with Darcy/Loki fiction the way a powerful demi-something like Loki falls for a coffee making, pop-tart toasting assistant isn't really explained. Not so in this story. The sex scene isn't terribly explicit but it is just so taunt with real feeling it will make your heart ache.

Pairing: Natasha Romanoff/Clint Barton
Fic Title: The Last Great Border Town Hotel
Author:

ignipes
Link: Here.
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: Angst
WIP?: No, one-shot

Why This Must Be Read: This fic is the perfect mix of action, heart-rending backstory, and slow building of trust. (Plus, a couple of great bits with Coulson.)

It's been a long time since anybody has used her real name. "My friends call me Natasha," she says.

Barton raises an eyebrow. "You don't have friends. You only have assets you haven't killed yet." His tone is mild, amused, and all the sharper for it.

"How long did you wait for me?" she asks. "In Amsterdam. You did wait."

He hesitates just a shade too long. "No," he says. "I didn't."

Fic Title: I'm Making Eyes At You

Rating/Warning(s): R
Genre: Angst.
WIP?: No, one-shot.

Why This Must Be Read: This story is just going to fucking rip your heart out and stomp on it.

She sits in his room, on his bed, amongst his things, her bare feet tapping against another pile of forgotten laundry. She lets him sit close because he knows not to ask if she is okay. He knows that it is pointless even to speak.

Her feet tap and her toes curl and her eyes are still lost and faraway. Her lips press together and purse slightly then relax and that’s as much expression as she will give him to work with today. He takes it as a sign, figures that it’s as good or as worse a time as any time else, and reaches for her hand.

She snatches her fingers away as if they are burnt. He smiles like his own skin isn’t equally as singed and curls his hand into a fist.

Fic Title: Skipping
Author: missmissa85
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7244706/1/Skipping
Rating/Warning(s): T
Genre: Friendship, Romance, Team Fic
WIP?: Yes (33 chapters and counting)

Why This Must Be Read: Where do I begin with this story? It starts off as another Darcy-tutors-Steve-on-the-modern-world fic, but missmissa85 does it so beautifully. The progression is achingly, deliciously slow but completely organic and true to the characters. Darcy and Steve start out as friends and slowly become something more. Trust me, the scene where the feelings come out is completely worth the wait. And all the while, the Avengers are slowly assembling and make up such a wonderful ensemble cast. Everyone's voice is absolutely spot-on. This is certainly an ambitious piece, incorporating Bucky, the Skrull, and even Spider-Man (who is adorable, by the way), which probably explains why it's a WIP. The author updates fairly frequently, though they have dropped off a little bit. I, for one, will cheerfully wait until hell freezes over for more chapters!

Fic Title: Draw As You Truly Are
Author: Jaune_Chat
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/446907
Rating/Warning(s): technically PG-13 but there's a lot of nudity, future fic, art fic
Genre: Romance, Friendship, Team fic
WIP?: No; One-Shot

Why This Must Be Read: SO BEAUTIFUL. Art and bodies and OTPs, this fic hit me hard in the feelings, especially the Jane/Thor section to be honest. It's more of a Five Time fic which captures so much in so little. Steve Rogers decides to draw his teammates... in the nude, but not in crude manner or about nudity as percursor to sex but about how out bodies and the people you trust your bodies to speak louder than words sometimes. Told through a series of flashback from in the far future it's a lovely fic that shows the team not just as symbol but as people. Each section is about either a ship, and the ships are portrayed SO WONDERFULLY and true to themselves, or a character and all gorgeous character pieces.

Pairing: Thor/Jane, slight Loki/Jane
Fic Title: The Hammer and the Ice
Author: grav_ity
Link: AO3
Rating/Warning(s): T
Genre: slight AU, drama
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: This is my absolute favorite Thor/Jane fic. Typically I dislike stories that recreate canon events - in this Jane takes Selvig's place in the film - but grav_ity pulls it off masterfully. The story doesn't get bogged down in the canon but instead uses it to its advantage, taking more freedoms to focus just on these three characters. The language and imagery will stick with you.

Fandom Category: Thor
Pairing: Thor/Jane
Fic Title: Uru
Author: sheffiesharpe
Link: AO3
Rating/Warning(s): T
Genre: humor, angst, UST
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: There's no actual Thor/Jane interaction in this. It does, however, do a fantastic job of showing how each of them deals with the separation, giving us a good look at their individual characters and just why they're meant for one another. Plus it's got plenty of Darcy snarking and a mythical cat, who can pass that up? (If you've never read any books or fics featuring a mystical cat, you're missing out. This fic is the perfect opportunity to rectify that.)

Fic Title: Right Where I Used To Be
Author:

sugar_fey
Link: Here
Rating/Warning(s): R (but it's really more pg15... ratings confuse me.)
Genre: UST
WIP?: No (but it should be)

Why This Must Be Read: HELLO excellently toned UST on Natasha's twenty-first birthday complete with PERFECT levels of understanding going hand in hand with under developed emotional gauges from these extremely talented yet stunted idiots. Full of awareness that this means something different, something more than what they're allowed if they weren't killers relying on subterfuge and deception. Gah. Just. Yes. Great with delivery and fraught with palatable tension.

Fandom Category: Avengers (2012)
Pairing: Natasha Romanoff/Clint Barton (Black Widow/Hawkeye)
Fic Title: Indebted
Author: sablier_bloque
Link: ao3
Rating/Warning(s): M; LOTS of trigger warnings. Straight from the author: There are mentions of underage rape, and there is a scene where an underaged Natasha uses a sexual act for an ulterior motive, but there is no underage sex between Clint and Natasha. Also warnings for graphic violence, sex, and language.
Genre: Angst/Violence
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: This one is brutal. It can be a difficult read, but goddamn this girl is a survivor and fighter. Seeing Natasha through Clint's POV and how her background is simultaneously abrupt and haltingly revealed to him balances ever so carefully throughout serving as a prelude of sorts to the trust we see already built up in the movie. Clint is probably the first person that ever ACTUALLY protected her from others and herself. Just, JFC these kids!

It's been a while since my last Darcy multipairing rec and oh man, has fandom been busy. Let me catch you up.

Fandom Category: Thor/The Avengers
Pairing: Darcy Lewis/Bruce Banner
Fic Title: Side Effects May Include (The Radiated Remix)
Author: Chaerring
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/418727
Rating/Warning(s): Not rated, but I would say PG-13ish.
Genre: Romance, Angsty Schmoop
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: The lovely

fringedweller rec'd the original fic previously, but I thought that its companion remix also deserved a rec of its own. This gives Bruce's POV of the events in the original "Side Effects..." and it is lovely, with wonderful insights into both Bruce and Darcy.

( 10 more Darcy/Bruce recs )

( 4 Darcy/Clint recs )

( 1 (well, 2) Darcy/Fury rec(s) (YES, REALLY, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO READ IT) )

( 1 Darcy/Coulson rec )

( 5 Darcy/Steve recs )

We can has Darcy Lewis/Nick Fury tag plz? Thanks!

Summary: Peggy Carter is frozen in 1946 and awakened by SHIELD in 2012.
