We're also doing a secondary fun theme each week, highlighting trends we've noticed in the fandom. There's probably a joke in there somewhere about Tony putting artificial intelligence in more inappropriate things than he's put his... er- *cough* -in. Let's see some sentient household appliances and other AI shenanigans.
no subject
My own The Silent War (http://archiveofourown.org/works/590288).
Summary:: Thor loves his Pop-Tarts, Clint likes the microwave, Natasha likes coffee but doesn’t want anyone to know, and Bruce and Steve cook. Or that time when everything in the kitchen refused to work, but none of the Avengers want to admit why.
Also, the entire series of It's All in the Mind (http://archiveofourown.org/series/21783) with AIs playing a pretty prominent role in it, including a sentient stove and coffee machine.
And on another, lighter note. There's also That Damn Tank Top (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1080725/chapters/2172159), in which Steve becomes tongue-tied at the sight of Tony in a tank top and there's a TV with too much time on its hands.
Artificial Intelligence (http://archiveofourown.org/works/543768) by kyaticlikestea. Completely cracky, but so good.
Summary: Fed up of seeing Tony and Steve dance around each other, the various gadgets of Stark Tower collaborate to become the best wingmen in history.
If only they were any good at it.
As for non-powered AUs? The one I really love because of all its shenanigans and hilariousness is Kari_Kurofai's So No One Told You (http://archiveofourown.org/works/357252/chapters/578616), although it's still a WIP and hasn't been updated in a long time. It's basically a Friends AU.
Summary: Between them there're three apartments, a disgruntled downstairs neighbor, and a coffee shop with a barista who threatens them with tasers. Which, as a whole, that description sounds way more simple than it actually is.
