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.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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]

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
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.

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.

Do we know any vidders? When are the fandom auctions that we can bid on vidders? Because thanks to a conversation elsewhere, I now want a Tony Stark and Loki compare/contrast vid set to "Big Shot" by Billy Joel. This is not a thing I ever thought I'd want.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Ahahahahaha! You should post that on Tumblr.
Also, hey, I've been wanting a Lord King Bad Vid to Behind Blue Eyes for Jackson on Teen Wolf, so clearly, we just need to make someone we know do our bidding. Have I mentioned the frustragion at having a film major spouse and not having vids on demand?
