FRIDAY RECC TIME.

It's all Avengers this week! Well, really, mostly Captain America. It's a thing.

Also a lot of porn. I mean, more than usual. I make no apologies.

Exhibit A For America by tryxchange: Teen and Up, Gen. Steve has an unfortunate encounter in an art museum and almost starts a fight. I'm so glad they wrote this so I didn't have to (I sparked a discussion with this on tumblr).

Podfic of Controlled Blast, read by

reena_jenkins: PG, Gen. A wonderful (as usual for Reena) podfic of my short fic Controlled Blast, about a young Tony Stark and a slightly less young John Sheppard blowing up squash courts at boarding school.

Practice by Astolat: Explicit, Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson. A lovely (and hot) exploration of Steve and Sam's search for Bucky, and the eventual decision Steve needs to make about whether to continue it.

All There in the Manual by scribblywobblytimeylimey: Mature, Steve/Tony. This is an absolutely filthy and great account of Steve realizing a lot about his sexuality and who he's attracted to based on Tony inadvertently dirty-talking to his bots. Robot kink ahoy!

In our Fragile Safety by Ylixia: Explicit, Steve/Tony, Steve/Tony/Bucky. Smokin' hot and clever, this is about how Bucky misinterprets Tony's intentions towards Steve, and how Steve suggests that Tony show him what his intentions are.

Stony Going by Cluegirl: Explicit, Steve/Tony. Steve, hilariously, discovers fanfic -- and then discovers badfic. And then Tony discovers Steve's been reading slash about them. A funny and sweet fic I beta'd for Clue.

Break Time by arsenicarcher: Explicit, Pepper/Tony, Maria/Pepper/Tony. Pepper and Tony invite Maria to join them not so much in bed as in power play -- dominating Tony Stark is clearly very satisfying. I love the interpersonal dynamics in this and Tony's kinks (or rather his turnoffs) in particular -- praise without humiliation, some pain but nothing extreme. Mostly for D/s fans, but the clothes alone are worth a read for people who aren't actively put off by it. (I may have had a hand in encouraging the writing of this.)

Such a perfect icon for this list...

Also, thank you.

I'm curious what the conversation was behind Exhibit A

We were talking about museum exhibits, I think, and I said I thought if Steve came across the portrait of the Red Skull that was painted by that prisoner in CA1, he'd be infuriated and demand it be removed. The discussion was mainly about whether that was censorship -- on the one hand it is the suppression of a work, but on the other hand it's a work that was created by slave labor and which was probably a great source of pain to its creator.

Oh man, just what I needed for a sorely depleted Mark for Later list.

Oh thank you. I now have a plan for the evening that isn't just doing the work I didn't manage to complete this week. (seriously, thank you!)

Woo! Scribbly here! Someone rec'd my fic; wow. Thanks so much! Checking the rest of these out now...and for everyone who likes Stony, I have plenty on AO3 and there's plenty more to come [/plug]

(maybe you did)

Also, dude, that Tony/Steve/Bucky fic? I read that the other day and was like, "more, pls? all the more?"
