So I am bookmarking Avengers stories I enjoy over on my shiny new pinboard account, but here is a set of gen(ish) fic that has delighted my soul. All stories contains spoilers for the film.

Six Meetings before Lunch by musesfool (Steve & Thor)

This is adorable and HILARIOUS - I love the characterisation of Thor here especially, how he does start fitting in more and learning more about Earth but is, ultimately, still himself in all his fluffy labrador glory.

in time by fleshflutter (Steve & Thor)

So this one is more on the edge of gen leading to something more, but it is *lovely* - Steve teaches Thor how to slow dance and I have Feelings.

Epilogue by sam_storyteller (whole team)

Picks up right where the film leaves off, has great character voices, and fixes some things.

R&R by goseaward (Bruce & Tony)

♥ SCIENCE BUDDIES ♥

Tex-Mex, Lies and Facebook by oxoniensis (whole team + extras, some Pepper/Tony & Jane/Thor)

eeeee this one has DARCY and is therefore fabulous - it's great on all counts really. :D

bessemerprocess is hosting a Reverse Remix comment fic challenge where someone gives you one of their stories and you remix it as comment fic.

I'm playing in Doctor Who, Community, A:tLA & Korra and Avengers, and you can suggest stories for me here - I'll do at least 3.

+ I haven't had a much of a chance to dive into the rarewomen stories yet, but I love the story I received! Oh, Sarah Connor, my heart beats for you.

Internets, I am ANNOYED, because there are people out there having Wrong Opinions about Black Widow and it is gross and sexist and damaging my calm.

There seems to be this attitude that Black Widow's entire purpose in the Avengers film is to be a sex object. Now, even if the only thing she did in the film *was* stand around and look pretty, that is still a gross thing to say. People are people, not objects, and when you start reducing them to body parts the way that this comic does or this tumblr post does, you are Doing It Wrong. (That second link starts out with the premise that wouldn't it be great if Rhodey got to be in the film as War Machine, because he's a great character and also it would help further break up the overwhelming whiteness of the film. Which yes, yes it would! But, er, we shouldn't achieve that by getting rid of the only woman, and if you're going to saying something like "Why are our funds more wisely spent on a redhead with D-cups then another invincible robot man?" then that is saying a hell of a lot more about how you see women than it is about Natasha's role in the film.

The less said about that comic in the first link, the better. D:

So as a matter of fact, no, the purpose of all women everywhere is not to stand around daring to have breasts and therefore be sexually distracting (because having breasts in public makes you a sex object) and otherwise pointless, could everyone who thinks that kindly find the nearest exit to your left.

And besides, Natasha Romanov is in fact 100% fabulous, wtf is wrong with people.

( Spoilers for the film start here! )

And joy of joys, someone's already made a fantastic Natasha vid from cam footage - In The Bullpen by genusshrike, spoilers for the whole film, absolutely fantastic.

Avengers ; Natasha/Pepper ; PG-13 ; 900 words ; no content notes ; also at the AO3
Natasha hadn't exactly planned on ending the evening stuck inside a disused SHIELD bunker, but here they were, and they'd have to make the best of it.

Written for the prompt 'Natasha/Pepper, huddling for warmth', at the trope fest. No spoilers for The Avengers movie.

( You're all maladjusted enough that you actually seem to enjoy it when people try to blow you up, but I don't. )
