Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love the characterisation in this little bit of SuperWho: [link] .

I can't say that I'm totally satisfied with the DW/SH fusion fic, but the premise was totally, absolutely brilliant.
I think I'm unsatisfied because I want more. Especially given the point they ended it at.

Okay, so I read this Teen Wolf fic despite the pairings, because the premise is: Stiles goes on a murderous rampage and kills everyone in Beacon Hills whose name you ever knew-- [link]
Which is nice and gruesome, and does pretty good things with the deaths of each person, but...why Stiles? I can't really be horrified by it because there's no plausible reason given for him to do it, and the idea that it's creepier if I come up with my own reason....nope. I got nothing. It's less twisted if Peter Hale did it all, but...at least he might.
Also, if a demon possessed Stiles and did this, it's not Stiles, and you need to paint me his pain of seeing the whole thing. And you didn't. So, again, I feel remarkably untouched. Which feels like a shame.

I don't know if folks here read much Avengers movieverse fic, but here's a Steve/Tony story that I just had to rec while I'm still in the warm glow of reading it: [link]

Matt, you know I think you're wonderful, right?
That was lovely. Thanks very much for the rec.

That was delightful, Matt.
I thought the style of writing sounded familiar. The author has also written Ironsides with a genderswapped Tony, which I enjoyed very much. I pretty much troll AO3 and not the fic comms, so I didn't catch the story that Matt recced. Also, the author uses a different name on AO3, so the DW name didn't ring a bell.

That author rarely disappoints.

It was such a relief to read characterizations that gibe with what I saw in the movie, and not the recurring tropes that have been setting my teeth on edge in most of what I've happened upon lately. I definitely know who I'll be checking back with for my Avengers fanfic needs. I think I ran across my favorite of his stories first, but all of them are pretty good.
