Kellifer_fic

He Ain't Heavy (He's Our Villain) by goodboots - In which Thor is foolishly loyal, Darcy still wants her iPod back, and Loki redeems himself, or something.

I'm currently dubious about Loki redemption fic, but this is utterly CHARMING and has a lovely Darcy voice.

Beware of Dragons by entangled_now - Tony is going to kill Thor, he doesn't care if the guy's functionally immortal, he has resources, he'll find a way.

Utterly adorable Tony/Bruce friendship fic.

Aaaaand, basically anything by scifigrl47 at the moment. She's got a couple of WIPS going but the updates are regular and LONG and there is teamy goodness, Steve/Tony, Clint/Coulson, FUNNIES and self-aware rhoombas. My ultimate favourite series thus far is Tales of the Bots because some of it is in Dummy's POV and there are CONVERSATIONS between Dummy and JARVIS.

Have spent an entire rainy Sunday just writing. I haven't done that in a while. I have blanket, cats, TSN soundtrack on repeat (I like something score-y when I write on in the background and that's a good one, TR I love you) and two marvel_bangs that I've been switching between plus a couple of other things I'm noodling about with. Now have about 9k on the first and 4k on the second because for once I'm not leaving stuff till the last minute.

The doom!hand is holding up better to the abuse. I'm seeing the physio on Wednesday again though so I might be reprimanded for overusing it but I'm not sure. She did say flexibility would come back with use and I have been USING.

I wasn't prepared for how much not being able to write affected me. It's just become so much a part of my daily routine, of the way I can wind down and relax. Don't want to repeat that anytime soon.

I've also read some stuff that you should too;

To Be Modified As Necessary by ignipes - Ensemble - They only need ten rules to ensure (relatively) peaceful cohabitation.

Resting Rate by girlfromcarolina - Clint/Phil - Sixteen days after the Avengers save New York City, Phil Coulson wakes up.

Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toasterverse by scifigrl47 - Steve/Tony, Clint/Phil - I think this series is technically a WIP but the stories are self-contained so check them out then bookmark in case there are any more.

I Give You Love, Baby, Not Romance - by musefool - Clint/Darcy - Clint thinks he and Darcy are dating; Darcy thinks Clint's just got a bad case of the beer goggles.

-> My avengers_bang posting date is May 11th. Maybe if I start coding the stuff now I can actually post by my date doing the one hand thing... heh.

-> Recs!

Partial Harmonics Series Losers, Cougar/Jensen, eventual Cougar/Jensen/Aisha. This was a lovely slow build through the fics.

Don't You Know There's No Modern Romance - Avengers Clint/Darcy fic by striped_fic. Darcy conquers the New York state of mind, the SHIELD phone system, and which forms to fill out for a license to kill. Adult relationships, those are trickier.

This is technically part of a series but you can read is as an est.rel standalone.

Run Program: DUM-E - Avengers Dummy POV fic!

Falling to Earth Avengers Steve/Tony. Snow is the beginner's substance of choice for all cave-ins and trapped-in-the-wilderness scenarios. Why couldn't it have been snow?

There will be more but the left hand is cramping.

In conclusion, JRenner is a cheeky monkey.

inside there's an army waiting (for their marching orders from you) by storm_petrel - Losers, Cougar/Jensen, Team - Every good guy comes back.

This is creepily awesome.

Monkey!Tony by tabaqui. Avengers, Team; Tony is transformed into a wee little monkey.

I am linking in the hopes that this inspires more Avengers fic from tabaqui.

I'm late to the Handsome Bob/One Two party I know but:

Stories That Aren't About Cats series by Trojie - RocknRolla - Handsome Bob/One Two.

Handsome Bob wants but One Two is conflicted. In short, Handsome Bob brings all the boys to the yard.

Insta!rec 1: gyzym is probably one of my favourite authors and she has written Clint/Darcy fic. There is brash, passionate, insecure Clint and kickass, take-no-prisoners, devious Darcy. What else could you ask for? This isn't a traditional relationship story because it's not strictly boy-meets-girl, rather, boy-meets-banjo-then-meets-girl.

The Only John Wayne Left In This Town by gyzym.

Insta!rec 2: On the flipside, est.rel Clint/Coulson adorableness where they keep trying to get married and... don't quite manage.

Now We've Learned To Kiss The Sky by torakowalski

=> I've re-written my Translations, Podfics and Archive Requests post because I've gotten a few very tentative requests to podfic some of my stuff lately and I realised that the blanket 'no' about archiving outside of my own control and translations seems to kind of cover everything in that post which I didn't mean to do. I'm always happy for people to do podfics, remixes, play in my sandbox, what have you. I would appreciate asking first of course but I'll always respond and probably 99.9% of the time in the affirmative. I hope I've made that post a little less vague.

=> I went to see the John Carter movie and the best bit? Was the SUPER LONG 3-D AVENGERS TRAILER HOMG. It even had the Tony-poking-Bruce bit and Bruce was all smiley and exasperated. I have to admit, The Hulk is like, my LEAST favourite superhero of all time. Except that I have great affection for Mark Ruffalo so the Avengers has even found a way for me to like The Hulk. Is there nothing this movie can't do??

=> Puppy!transformation fic of the Clint/Coulson variety! Go check out sirona_gs's ADORABLE fic And I'll cross oceans like never before.

-> Firstly, I'm a dumbass and forgot to give thanks to sirona_gs for basically fixing the end of Brand New Day with two brilliantly concise suggestions that basically wiped clear the frowny faces I was making at it.

-> I can't because I am at work, but all Avengers peeps should definitely head over and read The Last Love Song of Anthony E. Stark by jibrailis because I'm going to go out on a not-very-long limb and assure you that it will be wonderful.

-> So, it seems a majority of peeps are reading on my AO3 now but I'm also aware that I have a lot of lurkers (I love you even though you're quiet!) on LJ so I didn't want to stop posting stuff here and link only to AO3 like I've seen some others start doing. Feel free to let me know your thoughts, or just tell me I'm overthinking it. :D

[Poll #1823290]

I have been the kind of sick for three days where you can't sleep but you can't really get up so all I've been doing is reading all the things, all the things I could get my hands on. Slow, plotty, first times and ridic cute team stuff and just anything that would put a smile on my face. Even with all this, I have so much more bookmarked!

So here, overdue recs!

Avengers

64 Colors by musefool - Gen

Darcy's life is weird, but she kind of likes it.

I need all the Darcy-centric team-building fic ever. There needs to be more of it. Herein lies bonding through colouring books and it is ADORABLE.

Just Temporary, Ma'am by sutlers - Clint/Darcy.

In which Darcy procures a fake boyfriend in order to get Jane off her tits about this "Darcy doesn't have any friends" thing. Which is ridiculous, Darcy has over 300 friends.

I Trust You To Kill Me by ghostrunner - Clint/Phil

Most people find Specialist Barton so annoying as to be impossible to work with. He's been bounced off so many black ops teams it's probably a record. Agent Coulson is made of sterner stuff.

Asenion by SidneySussex - Gen

Clint is a defective warbot that Phil fixes. My only complaint is that this is too short. I want to know what HAPPENS.

Age Is An Irrational Number by valtyr, Steve/Tony

This is comic!verse but even though I know pretty much zip about comic!verse I gave it a bash and it was wonderful and achey and so right. Basically, Steve and Tony grow old together.

Inception

Amuse-Bouche by bauble, Arthur/Eames

Band!AU. This stopped me going insane and killing my flatmate out of sheer sick-related-boredom because I was too busy reading it.

Nearly Home by toomuchplor, Arthur/Eames.

Pre to post-Inception, lovely detailed est. relationship.

Antimony by jibrailis - Eames/Arthur

Dreamshare goes legal, Arthur goes corporate, Eames goes and (against his better judgement) falls in love.

The Social Network

Yes, I know, I'm surprised too.

Sweet On You by moogle62 - Eduardo/Mark

Bakery AU that is a slow-burn absolutely ADORABLE relationship story where Mark is still Mark but he meets Eduardo later when he owns a bakery. This is LONG but so satisfying.

The Curious Incident of Eduardo in the Night-Time by jibrailis - Mark/Eduardo

This is post-movie, Eduardo keeps breaking into Mark's house. I have this weird fondness for relationship fix-its that involve casual B&E.

Best Practices In Workplace Relations by BlackEyedGirl - Mark/Eduardo

Eduardo is Mark's new assistant. Again, LONG plotty relationship-build.

The Losers

The Dashboard Melted (But We Still Had The Radio) by storm_petrel - Cougar/Jensen

In 2009, Jensen got a new team, fell stupid in love, and learned about sharks, the great organizing principle of the universe and crushing chest injuries. Not necessarily in that order.
