Return of the Rec Week: Wednesday, Day of Humor!
Today is the day to share all the LOLs.
If you want to see the guidelines and schedule for the rec week, look here.
You may rec up to four fanworks per theme. It's okay to go back to rec previous themes even if the day is over! I know not everyone can make it online each day.

Summary: Cap is disappointed. Predictably things start to Go Very Bad for Tony.
This is one of my very favorite fics in this fandom. It's cute and funny and just makes me ridiculously happy every time I read it. The characters are spot on and endearing and fun and I just love everything about everything, okay? GO READ IT.

GUYS, IT IS 8K WORTH OF DICK JOKES. It's hilarious. I was practically choking the first time I read it.

This is a collection of short, silly ficlets. They always bring a giant smile to my face.

Rec: it’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean. -ancient chinese proverb (aka that time zara wrote 8k worth of dick jokes.) | Already rec'd above, but worth a repeat. I had to stop reading at one point to catch my breath, I was laughing so hard. I'll never be able to look at baby corn with a straight face again.

So does the Author. | "Short" fics (two so far) set in the Toasterverse (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18228) (which, if you haven't read yet, what are you doing). Hilarious and sweet and wonderful accounts of the day-to-day (mis)adventures of the Avengers team.

Title: Mr. July (http://archiveofourown.org/works/268811)
Creator: jibrailis
Universe: MCU
Rec: Steve appears in a charity calendar accompanied by nothing but his shield, and all of a sudden it seems every villain in town wants to get Captain America naked in the middle of battle ;) This is really funny and has some great one-liners. Team banter and snark done well is one of my favourite things, and this fic does it very well. A really good read that will make you smile, and then wish like hell that the aforementioned calendar actually exists ;)
Title: Team Debriefing (http://archiveofourown.org/works/407829)
Creator: 51stCenturyFox
Universe: MCU
Rec: The Avengers have an orgy. Because of reasons. What more do you need to know? ;) You'd think this would go in the PWP section, but it's actually hilarious while still remaining in-character. Again, great dialogue and banter. Thor especially made me laugh, but I won't spoil it as to why. A nice, funny take on the Avengers-get-sex-pollened trope :)

Universe: MCU crossed over with X-Men First Class
Rec: AU crossover. Tony Stark has known Charles Xavier since Tony was eight and Xavier was his Uncle Charles. Now that Tony’s all grown up, Charles vets his dates. Well, most of them. Except for the ones where Charles brings someone who should really be in jail, not a fancy restaurant.
Slid off the back of this prompt (http://xmen-firstkink.livejournal.com/8074.html?thread=17845386) in that it’s Charles who is Tony’s oldest friend, and Tony’s not much of a fan of Erik: By virtue of being Tony's oldest friends, Charles and Erik reserve the right to vet all his significant others. Through terrifying dinner parties. Even they can't find much wrong with Steve, though. And sort of end up asking why he's with Tony.
In general there're great lines and an awesome Tony voice throughout. To me, the most hilarious parts were when Erik and Tony interacted. And because I don't want to spoil the ending, I was greatly amused at how it ended as well. Steve is, obviously, involved. xD

Rec: And here Joss was, thinking Hemsworth and Hiddleston were gonna be the problem children. Jeeze.
So... I'm not entirely sure if this is really suitable here. It's not really RPS, though it's RPF. Just let me know if I have to remove it. Basically, Robert Downey Jr. gets a little too into improvising some of his lines with Chris Evans. It's adorable, and I think you can feel Joss' exasperation by the end of it. (even though we would've heartily approved of those improvisations)

Rec: With annotations by Clint Barton, and further annotations by Phil Coulson, and questions from Thor Odinson, for whom this was all written in the first place.
Multimedia fic! Clint, Phil, Thor and Tony all have so much fun with this one. Though to be accurate, Phil is more exasperated, as one can expect from him. Guest appearance at the end that just owns everyone. xD

Thor. Just. THOR. There is also very appreciated hot Tony/Steve sex. <3

Rec: “Welcome, newbies, to the only class SHIELD has to offer on surviving this shit. I'll be your teacher today, hi, Tony Stark, Iron Man, CEO of awesome."
Tony Stark. Teaching newbie!SHIELD agents. With poor suffering Steve trying to corral him (with extremely limited success.)

Rec: On the plus side, marriage is bound to be easier than proposing.
Oh god, it's Tony trying to give Steve the most perfect proposal and having problem after problem. And when he finally manages it... I always torn between going "Awww..." and laughing my head off.
Title: A Week in the Life of Highly Respected SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson (http://archiveofourown.org/works/238777)
Creator: boombangbing
Universe: MCU
Rec: Phil would just like to state for the record that this was all Tony Stark's fault. (Seven increasingly chaotic days in the life of Phil Coulson.)
Technically a gen piece, but has some wonderful Tony and Steve moments (both separately and together) and who doesn't love our favorite SHIELD agent trying to manage a Tony who just wants to play with the newly defrosted Captain?
Title: Knights' Tale (http://archiveofourown.org/works/240708)
Creator: indigostohelit

Rec: In which Tony is the prettiest princess, and Steve is the most oblivious knight, and there are parodied cliches and witches and towers and dragons galore.
Honestly, if the summary doesn't have you reading this fic then I don't think anything I say can do it. But it's one of my favorites. And I just love how Steve handles the dragon.

Rec: Avengers in a Friends!AU setting! XD Don't know how she did it, but it works awesome. Its a whoping 23 chapters and currently is on-going (quite regular updates as well). If 1000 comments from this story alone doesn't want to make you read this, then you're crazy~ Go on now~ scoot~
Its a Steve/Tony btw among other pairs, and I love how Tony likes to run away from problems (and feelings) here X3

Rec: Steve learns some disturbing truths about the modern world. Tony learns one fantastic truth about Steve. Every line of this is gold, guys. Seriously. Tony's ~intellectual curiosity~ leads him to some questionable material on the internet. Steve catches him browsing.
Title: The Wages of Sin (http://cap-ironman.livejournal.com/223723.html)
Creator: jwaneeta

Rec: Tony wants to retrieve some stolen tech without interference. Steve interferes. asdfjkl; Tony is so precious. In which stolen tech is much, much more interesting than it sounds, and Tony has some desperate explaining to do.
Title: Engaging the Enemy (http://archiveofourown.org/works/148861)
Creator: tsukinofaerii
Universe: Marvel Adventures: Avengers
Rec: Iron Man is one of the more persistent villains that the Ultimates face, with a special fondness for one Captain America. As Steve starts to findout more and more about him, the lines between hero and villain begin to blur. Sometimes, you don't have to be on the right side of the law to be in the right. Well, this one is a no brainer and everyone in fandom has probably read it at least twice, but I'm obstinately reccing it anyway because I love it, tyvm.

Universe: The Avengers (2012)
Rec: Texts and e-mails from various Avengers characters. In which Tony gifts Steve with a phone and promptly annoys the hell out of the others, Bruce turns green with envy, and Thor really, really likes to use caps. Because nothing can quite accurately depict the sheer level of hilarious insanity that an Avenger experiences on a daily basis like text messages.

Universe: Predominantly - The Avengers (2012)
Rec: Tony and Bruce have unlimited texting for a reason, and so do Steve and Clint. Basically, same as above. There's just something about texting that allows the Avengers to act like such adorkable children.
Title: Why We Should Date (http://archiveofourown.org/works/421404)
Creator: sariane
Universe: The Avengers (2012)
Rec: Steve doesn't understand modern dating customs. That's how he ends up making a PowerPoint presentation for Tony. THERE ARE ACTUAL POWERPOINT SLIDES ON THIS!! There's even a *chart* depicting Tony's level of happiness relative to his dating status from him being single as opposed to, say fondue-ing. FONDUE-ING! I think I died from laughter while feeling deeply, deeply mortified for Steve. Seriously, read this!!
Title: A Higher Form of War (http://archiveofourown.org/works/411406)
Creator: gdgdbaby
Universe: The Avengers (2012)
Rec: The first thing that occurs to Tony is that the deflector shields are down. The ship is motionless, a sitting duck—a flying duck, as it were.
He jettisons up. His black pirate flag's peppered with bits of neon paint—in fact, the entire topside of the helicarrier is splattered haphazardly with broken pellets and streaks of color. The UN flag's been torn in half and is fluttering half-mast, which means they're probably breaking about ten different maritime laws.
Only hilarity can come out from a widespread paintball tournament on the helicarier.

Rec: A fic based off the Very Secret Diaries that have become infamous in the Lord of the Rings fandom. The Cap version is short, sweet, and hilarious. Steve’s thoughts on the days after waking up including his thoughts on the state of today’s music, missing the Dodgers, and the team acting weird around him. & by weird I mean how everyone hits on Captain America and he remains oblivious while somehow managing to become close to Tony Stark.
Title: Put a Lock On It (http://cycnus39.dreamwidth.org/286699.html)
Creator: Cyc
Universe: 616
Rec: Tony wakes up in bed after a crazy night out to discover a padlock on his balls. That situation isn’t enough to suck you in with promise of LOLs? Okay, more of why it’s awesome.The dialogue in this fic is pretty dang spot on. Tony is particularly funny. The story even throws in a bit of Tony smut before Steve & Samson show up to help get Tony’s balls free.

Rec: "My room's through here," Steve says, gesturing down one of the hallways. "And this is an armory of sorts, where—oh my Go." The glass case that holds Captain America's uniform and shield is filled to the brim with what looks like a bright orange gelatin. "Not again," he groans. He cradles his head in his hands. "This is the third time someone's put my things in Jello." This is a mockumentary about the Avengers living on the Helicarrier. The writing style is very spare, which just adds to the comedy. Every word has a purpose and the timing is incredible.
