Marvel Fic Recs

I should have done this a long time ago, but life and procrastination habits got in the way.

Authors: People who constantly write amazing things

@ink-splotch/dirgewithoutmusic: has written some of the most beautiful things in the MCU fandom (and plenty of others) in the series bringin the war home, which is focused on the women of the MCU, the ones you expect and the ones you don’t.

@copperbadge/copperbadge: has over 400 works only in AO3, so I’m gonna just mention a few of my favorites. Coulson’s Eleven is an AU of how the Avengers got together, includes prison break. The Magazineverse are two feature-lenght pieces on the Avengers by surprise journalist. Robot Trip is the road trip Tony took with Dummy (plus Steve) from Malibu to Manhattan. And finally The Son Of Man is about JARVIS being magically turned into a human being and not having a good time.

Avengers fic:

Clint Barton's Guide to Friends and Ceiling Vents, by NoliteTimereEos. Clint finds Bucky living in the vents of Avengers Tower.

Culture and Other Balls of Twine, by LithiumDoll, is possibly the best road trip fic I’ve ever read.

i'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb, by QueenWithABeeThrone, is about Sam and Bucky teaming up during a paintball war in Avengers Tower.

Like Today Never Happened, by Nefhiriel, is about Steve being reverted to his pre-serum body and the Avengers dealing with it.

five times things went a little differently, by litra, gives the women in the MCU center stage in an AU were the Avengers are a little different, but still save the world in the end.

Flying Monkeys and Paperwork Ninja are two funny fics by Thimblerig that look at S.H.I.E.L.D. behind the scenes.

I’ve read In the Company of Friends, by DarkestSight, for the first time years ago, but it’s still one of my favorite fics with the original MCU Avengers. Another good one is Shadowy Vested Interests vs. Tony Stark's Robot Army: A Grudge Match, by chaletian, which I really can’t describe in a single sentence, so just give it a try, I promise it’s funny.

Captain America fic:

For These I Watch Tonight, by leupagus, and Queen of the 107th, by Fyre, are two amazing Howling Commandos shenanigans fic (which naturally also feature Peggy Carter being a badass).

punchbuggy no returns, by lazulisong, is, well, about Sam and Bucky being passive-aggressive and playing punchbuggy during Civil War. Listen, just go read it. Oh, and there’s a sequel.

Finally, the Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail is a series by owlet which follows Bucky’s recovery after Winter Soldier and is both hilarious and sad and heartwarming at turns. It starts as Gen but eventually turns into Bucky/Steve for those who like the ship. I may have forgotten to mention ships before, sorry.

Thor fic:

Bargaining, by proantagonist, is a Time Travel, Loki-centered, multichapter fic and the author just did an amazing job with it, the writing is amazing.

don't need no ammunition (ain't the bridge that's falling down), by anthropologicalhands, is a Thor AU in which Sif ends up stranded on Midgard and Thor and Loki go on an intergalactic road trip.

And finally, two great stories by the same author, Lise: The Spaces Between, in which Loki travels through AUs of his life, and Road to Nowhere, a fix of The Dark World in which Loki and Thor go on a quest to rescue Frigga from Valhalla.

Hawkeye Fic (which usually involve Natasha, Kate and the Young Avengers):

requesting backup, by osmia, covers what Clint had been doing during Winter Soldier and puts the Young Avengers in the MCU, while Can’t Pin Me Down, by paperclipbitch, is more Kate-focused and has a stronger connection with the comics. Both are great.

Guardians of the Galaxy fic (some have Avengers, some do not):

A Short List of Relevant Skills and Abilities, by ignipes, and sticky fingers, by bullroars, are short post-movie stories focused on the Guardians choosing a next adventure and in their relationship with each other.

Diplomacy, by turtle_paced, deals with the immediate aftermath of the attack on Xandar and with the fact no one wants to stay near the universe-ending super-weapon.

for the ones left behind, by allapologies, and Of Course He Remembers Meredith, by Wandering_Swain, are encounters between Tony Stark and two of Peter Quill’s relatives.

And finally, Dialling Tones, by Write_like_an_American, is about Peter investigating the mystery of Gamora making calls in the middle of the night, a considerable numbers of misunderstandings and some other things.

Spider-Man fic:

godlet has a lot of cool Spider fic, some are shippy, others are gen, most are funny and heartwarming (I confess I haven’t read all of them). My personal favorites are in the other pocket, strawberry clumps and fashionation.

Maggie Fitzgerald and the Saltwater Drip, by antistar_e (kaikamahine), is a Spider-Gwen AU of The Amazing Spider-Man movie and just as awesome as it sounds, honeslty.

Fics more focused on comics:

grab a blanket, brother and Stay, Stay, Stay, by Traincat, are both Young Avengers fics focused on Tommy (the second one also has plenty of Eli and probably treats him better than the Vol 2 did).

cause a hundred veils to fall, by betony, is a very cute and funny Ms. Marvel fic!

Crossovers (I like crossovers):

Thrower of the Dart, by Vathara: Artemis Fowl and Avengers crossover.

Magnets for Trouble, by @pitviperofdoom, brings the Big Hero 6 into the MCU (by the way, I can rec everything PitViperOfDoom writes too).

And As far as Curses Go, by natcat5, is technically less of a crossover and more of a fusion, but mostly a cool and funny daemon fic. Plays loosely with the MCU canon.

I guess that’s it. I feel like it’s a little messy and I had some Daredevil recs, but the number just kept growing, so I’ll just make a different post. Hopefully, sooner than this one in comparison to the DC Fic Recs post. Hope someone enjoys this!
