Rating/Warning(s): G
Genre: Comedy, Romance
WIP?: yes

Why This Must Be Read: Tony discovers the Home Shopping Network! Funny and with great conversations this fic feels as canon as the movies. I keep hoping the author will write the next part in the series. This reader is dying to know what Tony will try and purchase next.

Day 31 - BONUS - Wildcard/Catch up on a missed day
During this month, I recced for a different pairing each day, but I still seem to have a few pairings for which I haven't recced. I've limited myself to ten of them, but there's more. And yes, now that I realise that, I'm quite afraid by the amount of shipping I do....


Fandom Category: Leverage
Pairing: Sophie Devereaux/Nathan Ford
Fic Title: There's nothing new under the sun
Author: [livejournal.com profile] alinaandalion
Link: Here
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17, graphic sex
Genre: Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: I have to say that for the past few weeks Leverage pretty much pwned my mind (yes I've just discovered this show and it's awesome), and while I love both Official Couples, I just can't live without Nate/Sophie. This fic is beautiful and it shows the progression of their relationship after San Lorenzo. Nate and Sophie are just spot on and this fic is a must-read!

More under the cut for The West Wing, The Pretender, NCIS, CSI, Avengers/Iron Man, Ringer and Unforgettable. )

Mods, can tags be added for 'ship: kate harper/will bailey', 'ship: catherine parker/sydney', 'fandom: unforgettable' and 'ship: carrie wells/al burns'? :P

Author: irnan

Rating/Warning(s): T/PG-13
Genre: Time Travel!AU, Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: Peggy and Steve's doomed romance in the movies just breaks my heart, so I love seeing them get a second chance in fic. This story features what might be my favorite Peggy/Steve reunion ever, ever, EVER. Seriously, ALL THE TEARS. And it's only one part of a series called interesting landings so you can get more of Peggy and Steve's story, if you so please.

Oh, this going to be fun. 30 Days of Recs in a week! So let's start this off. I have to say to rec stuff I haven't recced before was tough because I've recced so many of my faves already, but I'm always up to a new challenge.

Day 1 - 5 )
[identity profile] sandystarr88.livejournal.com
Fandom Category: The Avengers
Pairing: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Fic Title: Precious
Author: LouBlue
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8066224/1/Precious
Rating/Warning(s): K+ / violence
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Adventure
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: I've shipped Pepper and Tony since I first saw them on screen together in the first Iron Man movie, and the thing that has always struck me about their relationship is how much Tony really needs her. The author does a wonderful job showing the impact Pepper has on Tony's life, and when she gets hurt how much he really loves her. Along with a great supporting cast by the rest of the Avengers, the relationships between all the characters were very well written in this piece.

Fandom Category: Parks and Rec
Pairing: Ann Perkins/Ron Swanson, past Ann/Tom, Ann/Chris, Ann/OC background Leslie/Ben
Fic Title: Teach Me Gently How to Breathe
Author: singyourmelody
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7878896/1/Teach-Me-Gently-How-to-Breathe
Rating/Warning(s): T
Genre: Romance
WIP?: Completed one-shot.

Why This Must Be Read: I found this fic while I was in fact searching for Leslie/Ron fics, but I saw this and it kind of sparked my interest so I took a look at it. This fic is everything I ever wanted for Ann, it gives her a lot of depth the show could so easily and kind of plugs perfectly against her problems of always being the love-interest and never the heroine. And honestly, Ron is kind of the perfect person to bring that out in her, which is not something I would have ever considered before reading this fic. Definitely a great Ann character study.

Ah, here is the last of my special recs for August.  I apologize for the lateness and cut it down to 21 but tried to keep a variety of fandoms and ships at least.  I'm glad I got to share some of my favorites!

Fandom Category: Downton Abbey
Pairing: Mary Crawley/Matthew Crawley
Fic Title: You & Me of the 10,000 Wars
Author: allthingsholy
Link: http://allthingsholy.livejournal.com/158762.html
Rating/Warning(s): PG-13 (R in later chapters)
Genre: Drama, Romance
WIP?: Yes

Special Rec: 16/21

Why This Must Be Read: This is a modern AU where Downton Abbey becomes Downton Industries.  There are only two chapters thus far (out of a projected four), but I’m already completely taken by this author’s absolutely brilliant characterization of Mary -- a woman who can play the part of the perfect, proper eldest daughter to the tee when needed but also rejects the role, a woman who in one sense loves the glamour of the lifestyle she leads even as she cannot bear its superficiality.  Everyone else is also thoughtfully portrayed, and the writer has creatively and smoothly adapted Downton Abbey to the 21st century.

Pairing: Talia al Ghul/Bane, Ra's al Ghul/OC
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.

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: [livejournal.com profile] penknife
Link: Here
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.

[identity profile] hariboo.livejournal.com
Fandom Category: Thor, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers
Pairing: Betty Ross/Bruce Banner, Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Jane Foster/Thor, alluded Natasha Romanoff/Clint Barton
Fic Title: Draw As You Truly Are
Author: Jaune_Chat
Linkhttp://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.

This is for the person who requested Pepper/Tony. Sorry it took me so long, but I couldn't remember where I had read this fic, and I remembered just today where I had saved the link. :P

Fandom Category: Iron Man
Pairing: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Fic Title: Four Times Pepper Considered Quitting and the One Time She Did
Author: [livejournal.com profile] seren_ccd
Link:  Here
Rating/Warning(s): PG, first movieverse canon
Genre: Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: This nice fic show us five moments between Pepper and Tony, since the first time they met until the end of Iron Man 1. The tone is playful, their dinamic is perfectly described -Pepper's sarcasm is spot on, and Tony is as inmature but caring as we know and love about him-, and we can see that under all their differences the slow blossom of feelings they were not yet prepared to admit. Nice and short little read.
[identity profile] jdphoenix.livejournal.com
Fandom Category: Iron Man (post IM2)
Pairing: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Fic Title: Transcript ST245
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dracutgrl
Rating/Warning(s): T (for threats of violence)
Genre: humor, dialogue only
WIP?: no, oneshot

Why This Must Be Read: Pepper and Tony have been kidnapped and of course they spend more time arguing about the situation than actually doing anything about it. I can't say much else without ruining some of the fun, but this is just the perfect dialogue only fic. Nothing feels like it's missing and the fast pace only makes it feel more true to the characters. Plus, a couple SHIELD agents make cameos.

Fandom Category: Avengers (also see The Hulk and Iron Man)
Pairing: Bruce Banner/Betty Ross, Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov, Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Fic Title: [far from here we are all right]
Author: Feather (lalaietha)
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/412017
Rating/Warning(s): teen
Genre: post-avengers movie
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: Because this does a ridiculously good job at painting what the dynamics of the three ships here could be. The characterization of the women, especially, is wonderful. I didn't think I would get much of a balanced fic with so many characters and ships traipsing through, but this did an admirable job with doing justice to all. A post-Avengers fic, where Natasha determines after watching some footage that the key to "neutralizing" the Hulk was one Dr. Elizabeth Ross.

Also, some really great one-liners in the narration.

Fic Title: Breaking It Up
Author: [livejournal.com profile] amonitrate
Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/8524
Rating/Warning(s): NC-17
Genre: Smut, Angst
WIP?: no
Special Rec: 13 of 34

Why This Must Be Read: This story sizzles. It pairs a younger Pepper and Tony, free from the restraint of their later relationship, and shows us a hookup in the men's bathroom of a European dance club that might (or might not) have happened. It's well-written and astonishingly hot - I have a thing for stories which are realistic about sex, and let me just say that the lack of a condom in this story means a) there's no actual sex and b) you'll actually be grateful for that because it turns the story into something you might not have otherwise expected.

Fic Title: Gift of Asylum
Author: Sister_Wolf

Rating/Warning(s): NC-17, violence, language, sexual situations
Genre: romance, (wacky) adventure(s), friendship, superheroes, humour
WIP?: yes, but it's really good and updated pretty regularly
(8/20)

Why This Must Be Read: Clint Barton had a drunk hookup at a bar two years ago. Darcy Lewis had a drunk hookup a bar two years ago. Oh yeah! And now they have to work together while Darcy gets hired to help run this new team called the Avengers. Basically, this fic is amazing and hilarious. Darcy is a particular gem here, but this is the fic that made me appreciate Clint Barton and how ridiculous his life must be. And how much he hates how Darcy has bonded with Tony because that's just dangerous for all. Joy to read!

Rating/Warning(s): PG / none

Why This Must Be Read: This piece is crack!fic at its best, with Tony and Pepper deciding to put into writing the particulars of their evolving relationship and what exactly constitutes proper workplace behavior.
