LL TO A HET FIC YOU'VE READ THAT WAS WRITTEN WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

“Sorry, Coulson,” Nick sighs to himself, and overrides the security code in his locker. He pulls out the small stack of vintage trading cards from the back of the locker, then turns the latex glove properly out, feels only the slightest twinge of unease as he spreads Coulson’s blood across the cards. Not pretty, maybe overkill, but he needs this to stick. “You’ll thank me if we both get our feet on the ground in one piece.”

lol nesting fic.

KITTEN TOMATO

four times somebody trusted natasha romanoff (and one time natasha trusted somebody)
the avengers (film); pg13; spoilers; 3000 w.
natasha romanoff gen (though my bruce/natasha bias is pretty obvious)
summary: she is not used to being treated as something other than a threat.

When 24-year old Tony Stark goes out to distract himself from the fact that he has been put on probation by his company's board of directors due to his partying lifestyle, he bumps into (quite literally) a law student named Steve Rogers, who has recently lost his father and has been 'dragged out' by his best friend to "have some fun."
"Some fun" turns into shots, Vegas, and...marriage?
Except, someone on probation is not allowed to have a quickie marriage. The only alternative is to somehow continue the farce until the probation is over, but that's not as easy as it sounds when very real feelings start being added to the equation. [37,634]

Thor takes the opportunity to turn his baffled puppy-dog eyes on Clint. ‘I do not understand,’ he persists. ‘What is this thing called ‘thing’?'

‘Uh.’ Clint pauses, trying to think how to phrase his answer without being crude. Phil’s right there and surprisingly old-fashioned about discussing relationships. ‘Me and Coulson, we’re special to each other,’ he says. ‘You know. More than just colleagues. More than friends.’

‘Ah!’ Thor says, looking happily enlightened. ‘You say that you and the son of Coul were shield brothers with a warrior’s bond?’

Clint’s not quite sure what to do with that one.

At the other end of the table, Stark’s teeth flash in a grin. ‘Only if a warrior’s bond means fucking like bunnies.’

‘Indeed it does,’ Thor confirms.

Loki is about to be killed when he's saved - by Thor. But it's a Thor who has traveled from a different universe - one where he and Loki lived and ruled together until Loki was killed by the Chitauri. Once Mirror!Thor sees how Loki has been treated, he decides to take Loki back with him.

Steve puts his artistic skills to good use post-movie.

JARVIS, Tony and Bruce, and the conceptual linkages of trust and fear.

Last in the Deus Ex series. JARVIS POV.

Agent Coulson is not dead, director Fury has a black eye, Black Widow wants cotton candy, and Hawkeye is thinking about running away to join the circus again. All is not well with the world, but at least it's still spinning.

Five Times Bruce and Tony were really awesome bros, and one time they weren't.

Answer: It works so easily that The Avengers is well on its way to becoming one of the most popular films in human history. Maybe a mess of male critics can’t see a triumphant Black Widow in the malange of superheroes crowding the film. But in this election year defined by demeaning treatment of women, it’s encouraging to know that a whole lot of America can.

Yes. It's a Avengerfied version of the amusing children's book, Go the Fuck to Sleep. (possibly slightly spoilery, also slightly fixit-y.)

Summary: In which Captain America can do (almost) anything, and Tonk Stark has daddy issues--who's surprised?

His best friend keeps cockblocking him, his relationship guru is a computer, and he might be gay. The future is very complicated.
