MCU Fanfic Recs for the week of February 8, 2019

Theme 1: Genfic (Mostly)

Five Reactions to Pepper’s New PA  by gladdecease , G (no romantic relationship). Pepper has very exacting standards for who can become her personal assistant. Good thing Bucky meets all the criteria.

young hearts to yourselves be true  by ninemoons42 , G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve and Bucky get de-aged.

Geriatric Road Trip, 2015  by what_alchemy , not rated (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky and Steve are reunited with Bucky’s siblings.

Mama Bear  by Dira Sudis (dsudis), T (Clint Barton/Laura Barton). How the Black Widow became Auntie Nat.

Theme 2: Longer and Plottier

you’re gonna give your love to me  by irnan , M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes/Natasha Romanoff). Natasha goes to Steve and Bucky’s house to wait out having been sex pollen-ed.

If Only In My Dreams  by odetteandodile , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes; Sam Wilson/Natasha Romanoff; Tony Stark/Pepper Potts). Bucky and Sam have to pretend to be married in order to land a book deal, which would be easier if their guests didn’t include a devastatingly handsome war hero, a beautiful photographer, and Tony Stark.

Hello To High And Dry  by herecomesbucktofuckshitup, E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes; background relationships). When Steve and his buddies formed the boy band Howling Commandos, they got Peggy Carter as their manager. When Bucky made his break as pop star James Winter, he got Alexander Pierce as his manager.

Lessons Are So Cold  by herecomesbucktofuckshitup, E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, background relationships). Steve knows that someone has to go undercover at the local high school, and he knows that he was the right person for the job. He just wishes he wasn't. And he really really wishes that the cute boy he'd hooked up with the night before his mission hadn't turned out to one of his teachers.

Theme 3: We Accidentally a Relationship

give me your answer do  and it won’t be a stylish marriage  by lazulisong , G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve and Bucky get married so they can visit each other in medical.

right time, wrong guy  by everybodylies , G (Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson; T’Challa/Sam Wilson; Bucky Barnes/T’Challa; Steve Rogers/T’Challa). Sam and Bucky fight over a lot of things: legroom, the TV remote… the King of Wakanda…

There is no Steve-and-Tony. Only Steve. Only Tony.  by scribblywobblytimeylimey, not rated, and There is no Tony-and-Steve. Only Tony. Only Steve.  by 27dragons , not rated (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark). Steve and Tony have no romantic interest in each other. They aren’t sleeping with each other. And they definitely aren’t dating. That would be ridiculous.

Theme 4: Shorter and Funnier

the future’s so bright (I gotta wear shades)  by KiaraSayre, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky’s list of things that are great about the future.

As Time Goes By  by brenda , T, As Time Goes By (The Fundamental Things Apply Remix) by gladdecease , G, and As Time Goes By (The I Loved You First And Best Remix)  by smilebackwards , Not Rated (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). The Avengers start a team tradition of kissing Steve before the start of every mission.

For the week of December 14, 2018.  Old and new fics, multi ships.  I didn't cross-post to tumblr cause it's a pain in the neck.

The Right Thing in the Wrong Way  by igrockspock, T (Tony Stark/Pepper Potts). People don’t ask why Pepper sticks by Tony as often as they should, and if they did, she probably wouldn’t tell them the truth: that he’s never left her alone on the one day she actually needs him.

A Plethora of Peppers  by outtabreath, T (Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, mentions of Pepper Potts/Happy Hogan, Pepper Potts/Natasha Romanoff, and Pepper Potts/OMCs). Tony tries to invent a Star Trek-style transporter; instead he winds up with multiple alternate universe versions of Pepper. None of the Peppers is particularly impressed.

Feed The Body, Nourish The Soul  by copperbadge, T (no relationship). So listen, imagine if all your favourite Avengers were avant-garde chefs and hipster food truck operators instead, and then Loki wanted to come into their neighbourhood and open a mid-market chain restaurant. If you liked that, this is just the first in the Foodieverse series  by copperbadge and scifigrl47, mostly T (mostly gen or Steve Rogers/Tony Stark), all of which I highly recommend.

Mental Mimosas by Catchclaw. This is an extensive collection and not all MCU. Here are my top picks:

• The Gift of the Geamhradh  T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). It was, without question, the part of being king he resented the most, for summer was the season in which each section of the kingdom sent to him their best and most beautiful, those whom each community had carefully chosen to be their representative in what was still seen as the most sacred and powerful of spaces: the royal harem.
• A Date With A Haint  T (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark). “Let me get this straight,” Mr. Stark said. “You have a ghost?” “No, I don’t have a ghost,” Peter said, affronted. “It doesn’t belong to me. That’s absurd.”
• Winter Come Early  T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Captain Rogers and Lieutenant Barnes build a new life after the American Civil War.
• Afterthought  T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Because I literally cannot get enough of post-American Civil War AUs.
• I Hate This, But I Love This, Too  T (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark). I’m sure we’re going to die any minute, so let me finally confess that I’ve had a crush on you for years.

Seahorses  by poppyfields13 and tinzelda, E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky takes over as Captain America, Steve decides to adopt a baby. But will Steve and Bucky figure out their feelings for each other?! (Spoiler: of course they will)

Doing You Right in Shawsville  by james, T (Clint Barton/Phil Coulson). We had to pretend to be married for an op and, oops, I realized I have real feelings for you.

scenes from our mansion, after the war  by jaegermighty, T (Tony Stark/Pepper Potts). Tony and Pepper, trying to go back to normal after the events of IM3

Adventures in Dogsitting  by fabrega, G (Phil Coulson/Clint Barton). Phil Coulson has wrangled agents, soldiers, monsters, gods, and Tony Stark; he can undoubtedly handle Clint Barton’s dog.

we are thunder wrapped in cellophane  by cacchieressa, G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). This year, he’s got Bucky back, which means that no matter what they do, it’s going to be the best birthday Steve’s ever had.

I'm not planning to archive my entire tumblr, but I figured I would at least port over my fanfic recs.  This was the first one.  Multiships, new and old fics.

where the dread fern grows and march of the pumpkins by silentwalrus: G (Steve/Bucky; OFC/OFC). “Sam’s gotta buy a wedding present, and nothing but elf booze will do”; “Halloween in Brooklyn, bog witch style” - magical realism/urban fantasy.

Of Many by asidian: M (Steve/Bucky). Bucky does Groundhog Day.

Woman of Steel by Jaune_Chat: T (Pepper/Tony). Pepper gets her own suit, saves the day, and gets the guy. Especially cool in light of teasers that Pepper may don the Rescue suit in A4!

Give A Girl A Moment And She’ll Take You For All You’ve Got by tielan: M. Maria, Natasha, Pepper, Jane, Darcy, and a girls’ night out gone wrong. “Pepper, you don’t have any knives in your purse!” complained Natasha.

We Learned By Doing by Jibrailis: G (Steve/Tony). The plot of Avengers (2012), but where all the characters are women.

The Dinosaur Game by emmypenny: T (Barton/Coulson).
“Rules:
1. If you find a dinosaur, you must hide it.
2. You may only hide the dinosaurs on SHIELD property.
3. Maria Hill’s property is off-limits.
4. These rules are subject to change at any time, without warning.”

M is for Murder by rohkeutta: M (Steve/Bucky). “I’m pretty low on funds and need to make ends meet this month, Barnes types slowly into a new post three days later. I’m taking commissions for hits in the New York City area.” Good, crack-y fun.

Side bitch out of your league by rohkeutta: T (Cap!Steve/Modern!Bucky). An excellently funny take on the Wrong Number AU, and if you like it it’s now part of a six-part series, all very funny. This is the only one of my recs this week that is mostly about the developing romance.
