Mostly Avengers this week. Including, to start with, a vid:
Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Knottahooker: PG-ish; it's always hard to rate vids. :) This is a great Thor-and-Loki vid set to Lorde's cover of Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
Captain America 2 came out last week, so I sorted the rest into non-spoiler fanfic and spoiler fanfic. First the non-spoiler:
No Disguises by Thyrza: Explicit, Steve/Tony. This is a fun take on events following an episode of Avengers Assemble, which is a terribly animated but kind of adorable Avengers cartoon. Steve and Tony have just come back from posing as supervillains, and Tony appears to be a lot more into it than Steve...
Write Down Every Drop by Amuly: Mature, Steve/Tony. There's no actual sex in this but it focuses around sex, specifically around just how good it feels to be a super-soldier. I especially loved the part where Tony loses it while reading his father's reports on Cap.
The Value Of Secrets by Maya Tawi: R; Tony/JARVIS, Tony/OMC. The story of Tony's love affair with JARVIS and less so with Jarvis; this is an older fic, written after 2008's Iron Man, but I linked it to some people recently and realised I refer to it in my own head as a classic of the fandom, so I thought I'd share. There are no warnings on the fic but I would warn for some dubious consent at the start.
This is a recc two fics that use the same premise in different ways:
The Captain Stark/Iron Steve series by AvocadoLove: Explicit, Steve/Tony.
Festina Lente by SilverFoxFlower: Explicit, Steve/Tony.
Both of these posit an alternate universe where Steve is Iron Man and Tony is Captain America, but they have different takes on the character-swap, and they're both fascinating in their own way. Festina Lente focuses more on Tony as Cap, representing a different sort of American ideal; in Captain Stark/Iron Steve there are stories for each, but for me the interest lies in a Steve Rogers who's still a ninety-pound firecracker.
And the spoilery fics (the summaries here aren't spoilery):
All The Stupid by Gypsylady: General Audiences, Gen. A short follow-up to The Winter Soldier in which the Agents of SHIELD deal with the fallout of the Winter Soldier's actions, and are asked to pass on a message.
Rebuild by historymiss: General Audiences, Gen. Another The Winter Soldier follow up about how to take one's first independent steps after a fall. Historymiss often complains she doesn't write longfic, but she crams a lot into her shortfic. :)
Miles To Go Before I Sleep by Avelera: Teen and Up, Steve/Bucky. Coming back can be difficult. I especially like how the story keeps referring to Steve as "the target", but the whole thing is a really well-constructed story about recovery.
And finally, NOT an Avengers fanfic, I wanted to recommend a translation of Not What You're Thinking by Qirunwei: Teen and up, Jack/Ianto. This is a Chinese translation of one of my older fics, in which Ianto explains to Tosh and Gwen how naked hide-and-seek works.
