I really like D/C AU stories that metaphorically follow the canon events that mark their relationship. But making the literal statements apply metaphorically often ranges from heavy-handed to cutesy. Saying that this new guy got you out of a hellish situation is one thing--gripping and perdition? Srsly?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

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

Agreed. Sometimes it's like having a pet bird that's been trained to sqwawk "profound bond!"

Christ yes. See also: excuses to call always-human Castiel an angel of any kind (including hookers called Angels--that was just a hamfisted list of ways that writer watched and loved an entirely different show from me--I actually skimmed every fourth chapter or so too keep track of how off track we were).

Hilariously given our conversation above, I just ran across a Teen Wolf/Aliens fusion that substantially lifts dialog and didn't bother me. But it's mostly a retelling of the plot of the latter with the show's characters mapped onto the originals.
Mostly.

The last part of Words May Fail (The Body Remains) is up! I haven't read it yet, I'm re-reading Hollow Your Bones and don't want to mix them. But I re-read Words May Fail just a few days ago and was bemoaning the WIP. Yay, fic!

For Connie who asked for Stark Trek in the movie thread: [link]
Tonight (I’m Fucking You) by canistakahari. Totally NC-17(01) PWP. Tony meets a hot, intriguing stranger at a fundraiser. Obviously he takes him home. Tony Stark/Leonard McCoy. Hot and hilarious.

Yay!
BTW, I was happily skipping through the Clint/Coulson prompt community over on LJ and was wondering if there was one for Steve/Tony. My search-fu failed me, and I was hoping someone might know of such a thing.
I love this fandom, multiple pairings to obsess over.

I do not get FrostIron, but I think that's my hobby now, not getting ships.

I don't see FrostIron, either. I'm happy with Steve/Tony and Clint/Coulson.
