Summary
Five years before they meet as Hawkeye and the Black Widow, they meet as Clint and Natasha. There is a romance, a marriage, and then, predictably, everything goes absolutely to hell, and Clint still thinks they should be getting royalty money from the DVD sales of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. (Or: boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl get married. Boy and girl neglect to do background checks.)

"You’re wrong," he says in his heavy, calm Captain voice. "The right thing is always the scariest, and the weirdest, and the saddest thing you'll ever have to do. If you're bored, it's because you've stopped doing it and you didn't even notice. Write that down. I can repeat myself if you need me to."

Summary
Okay, she thinks, in a zen-like state of calm: given a chump assignment, she not only managed to fall in a well, she somehow dragged Captain America--living legend, supersoldier, level 7 SHIELD consultant, and Avenger--down with her.
This means two things:
1) Captain America knows who she is now, and thinks she’s a dumbass, and
2) SHIELD is probably going to make her disappear as punishment (likely by throwing her in another, deeper well and pretending she never existed).“Don’t mind me,” she says faintly. “I’m just gonna drown myself now.”

Summary
Insecure wasn't something Johnny often was. He was almost never unsure, rarely embarrassed, and struggles with women were just about nonexistent. But there was something about wanting to be with Darcy, wanting to stop chasing her and just have her, all the while knowing she was fighting it every step of the way, that made him feel all of those things in various degrees.

A lovely look at Jacob's friendship with Cal and the things he has learned from it. A little bit melancholy, a little bit hilarious, and a whole lot of wonderful. Worth at least one read, and possibly more.

Bookmarker's Notes
This was written for me, so of course I'm biased, but if you're looking for the perfect timestamp/epilogue to Cairo Time because the ending just wasn't quite satisfactory, well, this story is it. The voices are pitch-perfect, and the author (who is still anonymous as I write this) slotted it perfectly into real time. Lovely, lovely work. I highly recommend it.

Summary
"Basically, I've been stymied in finding my iPod and now it's my personal quest, and I don't know if I can track down the owner without using the work databases but I'm not really sure that's allowed."
Coulson stares at her for a long moment, and Darcy hasn't often felt daunted but currently she's like a six on a scale from one to Sir Robin (and his minstrels). "Stymied?"
"It's a more epic way to say not finding it's offended me, and now it's super-personal."

A fic about Darcy and her first year with SHIELD. (And tangentially about how Clint should be more cautious when leaving things around the office.)

Steve is not ninety four years old, he's barely twenty seven and he has no idea what he's doing. It's a good thing he's not the only one. // One of the absolute best Darcy/Steve stories/series I have found. The writing is superb, and the characterizations are spot-on.

"It's a big country," Steve says instead. He doesn't know how to explain it. "America. It's so big. Too big to stay in one room forever."
Natasha laughs, clean and precise, laughter like winter springs. "I don't think there's a single room that could have held you," she says. "And I'm Russian. You don't have to tell me about big countries. That's the loveliness of them. They're bigger than our hearts."
Steve takes a roadtrip. The other Avengers join him along the way.

Summary
After an inglorious defeat at the hands of Asgard, Laufey seizes the opportunity for revenge and kidnaps Odin's only son. He does not, expect, however, for his own son to take such a liking to the young Thor - or for one touch of Loki's hands to turn Thor Jotun blue. The two grow together, reigning beloved and terrible in Jotunheim, until one day a delegation from Asgard arrives to tear everything apart. Now, to prevent war, Thor must leave everything he knows to join a people who mistrust and fear him, while Loki deals with rebellion without his brother at his side - a war that grows to threaten Midgard as well. Now three realms hang on the bond between two false brothers, who must decide how their realms will stand or fall.

An excellent AU from Thor's POV, with pitch-perfect Thor and Loki, excellent world-building, and just the right amount of conflict both between the brothers and their respective worlds. A wonderful read I heartily recommend.

Summary
So, Captain America effectively manages to cockblock Tony for a year.
It's not Steve's fault. Well, actually, it is. But he was just proving a point - that if a superhero is gay, how can it be wrong? Steve just picked the wrong superhero to make the point with. Now America will think they're dating - and Tony's not going to be the guy to break Captain America's heart.
There's only one way out. To save face, Steve and Tony have to become fake boyfriends. Steve thinks the "boyfriends" bit will be the hardest to act... but maybe it's the "fake" part that will be the hardest act of all...

Summary
Steve Rogers was an artist, so they put him on making training films for the war effort. In Hollywood, the military had taken over the Disney backlot. In New York, they commandeered the remaining staff of Marvelous Inkwells Studio.
(Somewhat AU from the film canon, but only in the attempt to write a more naturalistic story for Steve Rogers).

This is a sharp and beautiful character study of Steve both right before he becomes Captain America and right after he is revitalized in the 21st century. For such a short piece, it has a lot of punch.
