Sep. 5th, 2014 11:22 amRECCS TIME. Oh god so many reccs. They're pretty much all Marvel at this point; there is however a delightful Dead Isle fic near the bottom, and a cover for my white collar fic Jeffrey Nullier's "Man With Fedora".
Sorted mainly by rating.
Daybreak by thingswithwings: General Audiences, Steve/Sam. A sweet, simple story about Steve looking after Sam once they're on the road to recovering from their injuries.
This Is Home by iloome: General Audiences, Steve/Tony, past Quill/Tony. This deals with the comics, where Tony has spent a good deal of time recently in space, running with the Guardians. There have been a couple of fics where Peter is standing in for Steve, but I like this one because Peter was a fun fling, and Steve is the real deal.
DJ Makes Friends by Scifigrl47: unrated, Steve/Tony background; and All Tied Up by Scifigrl47: unrated, Steve/Natasha (Neither of these would be rated over Teen IMO.)
I don't usually recc Sci because I assume everyone has read her (if you haven't, do yourself a favour and have a look; start with The Act Of Creation series) but these are spectacular little shorts she did based on prompts, easy to miss on tumblr, and I love them to bits. DJ Makes Friends only really makes sense if you know the "Dummy turns into a real live boy" backstory, but All Tied Up requires no backreading and is funny and sweet.
12 Days Of Steve by Raibean: Teen and Up, Steve/Tony. This grew out of the Twelve Tiny Steves trope on Tumblr -- all the relevant links are at the post -- and is basically Tony having the time of his life looking after a bunch of tiny clones of Steve Rogers. I love the trope, so I found it really fun and enjoyable. Not 100% compliant with Ults canon, but set in the Ults universe.
Helping Hand by musicalluna: Not Rated, Steve/Tony (I'd rate it a PG-13). Tony breaks his arm and is not doing well. Steve helps out with a shave and some attention. And then Tony is SUPER. It's a short, nice piece of gentle hurt/comfort.
Scrub by pastelfaction: Teen and up, Steve/Sam. Sam is sick and Steve picked now to come on to him. I just loved angry, sick-as-a-dog Sam in this.
Long Way Home by hailtherandom: Mature, Gen. Bucky's journey back from the Winter Soldier is long, difficult, and not always what Steve wants it to be. A wrenching but ultimately pretty awesome story about recovery, which I really enjoyed on my beta read and as a final piece.
Mollitious Mores by Etharei: Explicit, Bucky/Steve, Pepper/Tony. Pepper takes Bucky as her date to a gala, and Steve and Tony are not happy boyfriends. I thought it was super funny, particularly Bucky eating ALL THE CANAPES. Also this was written as part of a "fic turnaround" and then had porn added, so. :D
The Inevitable Shrink Ray by Rubynye: Explicit, Steve/Sam. Steve is coping with being back in his old body better than Sam is, but neither of them are going to let it stand in their way. I do love Tiny Steve stories.
And some reccs that are particularly close to my heart:
Untitled by sidneysussex: this is a lovely Dead Isle fanfic about the real-life ramifications for Creationists living under colonial Australian rule. It's a lovely if sad story about family and keeping secrets.
Podfic of Three Step by reena-jenkins: Mature, Steve/Natasha, Steve/Bucky/Natasha: this is a podfic of one of my fics, inspired by the question "How many times a week can a couple have a threesome with the same guy before it becomes some sort of three-way relationship?" Reena does her usual excellent reading. :)
And two covers that I love:
Jeffrey Nullier's "Man With Fedora" by Makoyi
Portrait Of The Artist As A Robot by Blackestglass
