Fic: The Child's Faith is New Pt. 3-4/8

[chandri.livejournal.com]

Title: The Child's Faith is New, Part 3-4/8
Author/Artist: chandri
Universe: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Pairings/Characters: Tony/Steve, past Tony/Pepper
Rating: PG
Warnings: none
Word Count: ~37,000 in total
Beta Reader: artemisiabrisol
A/N:I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT. I have made Avengers fic. It is 36% crack, 31% fluffy kidfic, and approximately 33% angst (in that order). I have never done kidfic before, so the crack content might actually be a little higher than my inexpert estimate.

I blame: hufflepuffia, girlgeek, and fiddleheadsalad, who comprise a significant percentage of the Lady Avengers, also known as You Who Are To Blame, as well as ficsinthebushes, and I will also throw in Trisha and neomeruru because I would hate for them to feel left out.

Blame lies most especially heavily on fiddleheadsalad for emotional blackmail via sketches of Baby!Loki in the early, theoretical stages of this story, which she did with the express purpose of morally obligating me to actually write it, because, after all, she is a Slytherin.

Betaed by artemisiabrisol.

Summary:In which Loki is lost in the Bifrost and emerges on Earth as a child, with no apparent memory of the events in New York... or anything else.

And the Avengers adopt him. Because what could possibly go wrong?

Fic: Untameable

[dragonofmemory]

Fair warning, this fic is completely gen (I don't think even canon pairings made it in) and by nature not even pre-slashy.  But that's supposedly allowed here so long as the fic focuses on Steve and Tony's relationship, which it does.  However, should the mods find that it doesn't qualify, I'm more than willing to take it down.

Also, I've put the notes behind a spoiler cut simply because they are long, but I would appreciate it if you read them.  I didn't write this fic to preech or just to entertain (though hopefully it will do the latter and not the former), but it's a rather important issue to me and one I decided to address if no one else in fandom was going to.  Cause while options A and B are great and I've got nothing against them, option C is still nice to have.

Title: Untameable (or The Genius, the Dragon, and the Unicorn)
Author: Memory Dragon
Universe: Movie-verse
Pairings/Characters: Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Thor, Bruce Banner.
Rating: PG-13, for comic book level violence and peer pressure triggers.
Warnings: Oh, boy, lots of warnings.  First of all, a trigger warning for talks of peer pressure and convincing someone to have sex when they don't want it, but no actual unwanted sex.  That out of the way, there are also sexy tech-boner funtimes (aka, no sex, but lots of Stark innuendo), warm fuzzies and sappy endings, sometimes (but not always) fatally maiming of mythical creatures, unicorn mind-melded induced cuddles, non-unicorn mind-melded induced cuddles, Tony Stark being a complete and total cuddle whore with team player issues that he still insists he has, and some maiming, both physical and mental, of the aforementioned physical affection addict, though nothing that won't heal.  Also, no where near as much crack as all of that makes it sound.  Serious fic takes itself seriously.
Word Count: 12k~ish.
Beta Reader: Many, many thanks to both nemaline and narwhale_callin for betaing this and putting up with my word switches.
A/N:

I've noticed something in fandom.  There are only two ways of dealing with Steve Rogers' virginity: A) Virginity kink, or B) he's not as virginal as everyone thinks.  Which is fine, really, and I've seen a few fics where his partner is willing to wait until he's ready for sex, and that's fantastic.  I don't mind other people enjoying sex and/or wanting to write and read about it.  Go for it, if that's your thing!  But as a someone in her late 20's who is still a virgin and plans to remain that way until there's a ring on her finger?  I kinda wanted a third option: a fic that wasn't geared to the eventual deflowering of Captain America like pretty much every other fic and media portrayal out there.  I wanted a fic where he decided he was going to wait for the right partner, and being a virgin or living a celibate life style was perfectly acceptable and okay.  And as I couldn't find a fic like that when there's finally a media produced character who doesn't consider being a virgin to be a bad thing, I decided to write one.  Because that's how I roll.

So this is a gen fic where it's not only okay to enjoy sex (which Tony most definitely does, thanks), but it's also okay to appreciate the choice of someone who wishes to remain celibate.  Neither choices are glorified or put down, because I'm not here to preach at you.  But they are both simple choices that should be seen as acceptable by the people around them, and the latter isn't always a 'problem' that some of us want fixed. 

Also, dragons happen.  And unicorns happen.  And Tony Stark is so awesome that he doesn't need to happen, he just pushes his way into fic and makes me write things his way.  So hopefully, you'll enjoy the ride.


Summary: What do dragons, unicorns, and a genius billionaire in the midst of an empathy-attack have in common?  They all want Steve Rogers, apparently.  Who knew?

Fic: Coffee into Theorems (3/3)

[bladeofnebula.livejournal.com]

Title: Coffee into Theorems
Pairing: Tony Stark/Steve Rogers, Clint Barton/Phil Coulson (Secondary)
Fandom: Avengers Movie Verse
Rating: PG-13 for this chapter, fic overall NC-17 
Summary: 
"When Natasha actually smiles at Barnes and Barnes in return gets to call her ‘Nat’ without being killed in a scary and extremely painful way, Tony decides Barnes hasn’t just encroached on his territory, he’s fucking invaded and set up a new regime."

Or: In which Tony acquires a family, then a Steve and Bucky Barnes returns from the dead to ruin Tony’s life.

FINALLY FINISHED!!! On my LJ I had to split the chapter into two, so this LJ link is for Part 3A, and the link for part 3B is at the bottom of that post.

Fic: Namesake (1/1)

[evilmissbecky.livejournal.com]

Title: Namesake
Author: evilmissbecky
Universe: a blend of MCU and 616
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Steve/Tony, Pepper Potts, JARVIS, Edwin Jarvis
Words: 5,768
Summary: An innocent question leads Steve to look up Edwin Jarvis, the former Stark family butler who gave JARVIS his name, and bring him back to New York to see Tony one last time.
Author's Notes: For me one of the greatest ideas in MCU fanon is that the computer JARVIS was named for the 616 verse's Edwin Jarvis, who was the Stark family butler when Tony was growing up. I love this idea so much I just had to write this.

Many thanks to rhymer23 for her help Britpicking this story and providing a place for Jarvis to call home.

Or you can read on AO3 here.


(I could not say, JARVIS said. He returned to England long before my creation. But I believe he must have been a man of singular wisdom and knowledge.")

Invincible Iron Man question

[cookiemom6067.livejournal.com]

Hi - I picked up the trade hardcover of Invincible Iron Man Vol.1 (comprising Invincible Iron Man issues 1 - 19 by Matt Fraction).

In issue #5, Ezekiel Stane is wearing a fairly gruesome tee-shirt - it's green and it has a picture of a skull wearing Cap's helmet with the caption "Tony Was Right." My scanner is not great, or I would include a scan.

I'm gathering that this is post SHRA and between Cap's death and resurrection - what in the heck is the tee shirt supposed to mean? And why does it have a picture of Cap's skull on it?

ETA: the shirt was orange, not green - thanks to those that answered and for the scan!
