Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Who are the recommended authors in Avengers movie fic? I've got Sam the Storyteller and the person who did the bots series and another series about the Avengers' lawyer. What else is good out there?

Also, how did Clint/Coulson become a thing, and are there stories where Darcy isn't obnoxious?

I like Valtyre's "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," which is Tony/Steve with (I think) reasonable Darcy. [link]

I dont know if Valtyr has done much else, but TBtM is a nice, long Big Bang fic.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My delicious list for Avengers: [link] Most of them are Steve/Tony.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've lost hours and hours in some of this fic. [link] Though, caveat, there is some Clint/Coulson going on in a few.

I'm more than fine with Clint/Coulson, it's cute. I'm just wondering why those two.

I'm guessing it's a trust and competence thing.

My favorite Avengers writer is Lettered, who is doing marvelous stuff with Steve and Bruce (but not, so far, Steve/Bruce).

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

... and are there stories where Darcy isn't obnoxious?

If there are I've yet to run across them.
