Title: What Lies Beneath
Artists: krusca and marinarusalka
Author: asktheravens
Rating (both art/fic): Explicit for the fic, art is more like teen
Universe: MCU-ish (not canon compliant and includes some elements from comics)
Word Count: 39k
Warnings: Body Horror, Violence, Graphic Descriptions of Gross Stuff (Including illness and injury), angst, plot heavy

Notes: I had a great time working with both of my lovely artists! They were so enthusiastic and easy to work with, and everything looks great! I hope some of you are now thinking "I never knew I wanted the Avengers to take on a Lovecraftian Elder God" and that you will enjoy the story.


Fic Summary: All Tony wants is to make amends after a thoughtless reaction leaves him in danger of losing Steve, but a mission intervenes. The Avengers travel to a laboratory in a remote part of Appalachia expecting a routine job, but an ancient evil slumbers within Old Crow Mountain that will test much more than their relationship. This is a horror/adventure story that infuses the Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft with the Marvel Universe, but you do not need to be familiar with Lovecraft to enjoy it.
