Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

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).

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
... and are there stories where Darcy isn't obnoxious?
If there are I've yet to run across them.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
One thing I noticed about Steve/Tony fanfic is that it's a very similar dynamic to a lot of Cas/Dean fanfic (at least, many of the ones I've read so far). A lot of the issues of self-worth despite heroic deeds, the unwavering belief in the other despite this, plus the fish-out-of-water in need of pop-culture education. Which is maybe why I'm digging it so much (which works for me since the D/C well is pretty dry right now).
So is that a trope? The alien/naive innocent virgin sees the good in the hedonistic shallow man who secretly has layers and a soft squishy center and daddy issues?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Read any good Kirk/Spock lately?
