Hi! Here is a copy of my last recs post.

Avengers: Terrible Idea by

szzzt - Steve/Tony, mature. Steve and Tony get captured by AIM. Steve can handle bad wine and worse monologuing, but when he gets back to the cell, Tony's not quite how he left him. i.e. sorta caveman!Tony and not quite as badly affected but still pretty feral Steve learning to live with it and to live in their world, even when they can't speak or read or function on the same level, but they're still themselves. This was gorgeous and smart, and a very absorbing read. I loved seeing the world through their eyes throughout.

Avengers: War, Children by

Nonymos - Steve/Bucky, explicit. After Bucky was released from the hospital, it only took him a couple of weeks to give up on himself. Difficult to believe in any kind of future when the simple act of staying alive was almost too big an effort. Out the frosted window, across the street, there was a tiny homeless guy burrowing under an awning. Woah. This was quite a ride. An epic tale of hardship and love and dealing with your shit, no matter how hard it is. I loved their inner and outer journeys, they way they let their guards down with each other and then spent a lot longer trying to do the same with the rest of the world, how Bucky needed so much but wasn't going to let it define him or take over. I held my breath several times. Really lovely.

Peacemaker: Cleaning Up by

mitochondriencocktail - Chris/Adrian, mature. There, very sadly, isn't much decent fic out there for these two. Once you can get over the wtf of slashing John Cena (I did it with Bruce Willis, I did it with The Rock, I can damn well do it here), they're made for each other: the bickering and terrible friendship choices and shared hobbies and sheer unadulterated dumbassery. What's not to love? This fic was dumb and sweet and slightly worrying and very, very them. Do want more.

Enjoy!
