Rec: I’m Tired of My Grief (And I Would Like You to Love Me) by cloverpaloma

Title: I’m Tired of My Grief (And I Would Like You to Love Me)
Author: cloverpaloma
Canon: Agent Carter | MCU
Pairing: Jack Thompson/Daniel Sousa
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 13,542
Summary: Daniel raises an eyebrow. “And you haven’t told anyone?” “No,” Jack snaps. “Carter kept my secret, I’ll keep hers.” Both of Daniel’s eyebrows shoot up, and Jack thinks, oh, shit. “Your secret.” Jack picks up his book again. “Yep.” Calm and casual. “What’s your secret? I thought you were pretty two-dimensional.” “That’s the secret,” Jack says, trying to stop his palms from sweating. “I have feelings.” (Jack isn't great at saying how he feels. It only takes a year and more cups of coffee than he can count.)

Canon: Agent Carter | MCU

Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 2,463
Summary: Some people fall in love slowly, over looks and dates and time. Not Daniel Sousa. No, love punches him in the face.

Rec: Teach Me How to Fight by seekingtomorrow

Title: Teach Me How to Fight

Author: seekingtomorrow

Canon: Black Panther | MCU

Pairing: Shuri/Namor

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 4,413

Summary: Plagued by the ghost of her long-dead cousin, Shuri does the sensible thing and goes along with his harebrained scheme to seduce Namor and unceremoniously dump the man. It’s not exactly the type of revenge she would have thought of, but if it gives her an excuse to see him, well, it can’t be all that bad, can it?

Rec: Retcon by saltandlimes

Title: Retcon

Author: saltandlimes

Canon: Thor | MCU

Pairing: Thor Odinson/Loki Laufeyson

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 89,907

Summary: Infinity War Fix-it fic. The Avengers and their allies are losing the battle against Thanos. As New York falls, Loki finds his way into Dr. Strange's sanctuary, where Strange guards the last remaining Infinity Stone, locked away in the Eye of Agamotto. All Loki has to do to fix it is to go back in time, all the way back to before he let the Jotun into Asgard during Thor's botched coronation, and change things. Fix the past, and he'll fix the future. The only problem is Loki hasn't considered what exactly is waiting for him in the past. Or more precisely, who. Thor is back there, and he's even more bloodthirsty and uncontrolled than Loki remembers.

Recommendation: If you're a fan of Thor and Loki, nevermind Thorki, a fix-it for Infinity War is a must and this one is wonderful, and when I have more time I’ll probably come back and go on about at length but suffice to say it is great.

Rec: The Breath Between Regrets by Vera

Title: The Breath Between Regrets

Author: Vera

Canon: Thor | MCU

Pairing: Thor Odinson/Loki Laufeyson

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 9,597

Summary: The journey to Midgard should take a year and a day. Long enough for many things.

Recommendation: I love Vera's work so I was over the moon that she's written a post-Ragnarok, pre-Infinity War story and the only thing is that I'm surprised that it took me so long to rec it.

Rec: You Fall I Fall by ravenbringslight

Title: You Fall I Fall

Author: ravenbringslight

Canon: Thor | MCU

Pairing: Thor Odinson/Loki Laufeyson

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 31,022

Summary: When Loki lets go of Gungnir and falls from the Bifrost, Thor jumps after him. Unwilling to go back to Asgard, Loki drags them both through one of his secret ways, and they end up stranded on an alien planet with no way home. There, something finds them—something dangerous, that will require them to confront all the deception and half truths that still linger between them if they want to make it out alive.

Recommendation: Thor 1 nostalgia. *chef's kiss* I love the very fairy tale feel to all this, 'don't go into the forest' and all. I love the monsters, I love all of the emotional air-clearing that gets done, and I love the Guardians cameo. Aces.

Rec: Out of the Woods by dawnstruck

Title: Out of the Woods

Author: dawnstruck

Canon: Thor | MCU

Pairing: Thor Odinson/Loki Laufeyson

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 6,619

Summary: During the war against the Jøtnar, Thor meets a beautiful human boy in the woods. But not all is as is seems, and Thor might have to take responsibility for his actions soon enough.

Recommendation: I must confess that I noped out of Love and Thunder, but it still gave me a Thorki jones to see the reviews. I thought it was delightful that Thor thought he was stepping up but really for Loki it was all coming together.

Non-Rec: Podfic - Shaking It Out by Sholio

Podfic & Cover Art I made based on

sholio's "Shaking It Out".

Fandom: The Defenders Pairing: Misty Knight x Colleen Wing

Rated: Mature Format: MP3 & Streaming Length: 00:15:39

Misty pays their cover charge and snugs an arm around Colleen's waist as they mosey in. She's warm and solid against Colleen's side, her flesh-and-blood arm resting lightly just above Colleen's hip. Colleen tries not to enjoy it too much, and then gives up and decides that she's going to enjoy it as much as she wants.

Also, I realized only after posting that I got the title just a little wrong on the cover art but I'm not prepared to update it at this juncture. :P

Rec: Through All of the Shadowy Corners of Me by plinys

Title: Through All of the Shadowy Corners of Me

Author: plinys

Canon: Guardians of the Galaxy | MCU

Pairing: Gamora/Nebula

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 10,491

Summary: The Milano, otherwise known as the best coffee shop in the galaxy, or the worst, depending on who you're asking. Owned by the one and only Peter Quill, current employees include a talking raccoon, because ladies love guys with pets (or that was his excuse when anybody asked), a living tree, the most literal barista in the world, and Gamora, former assassin and adoptive daughter of one of the galaxies biggest mob bosses (if the galaxy had mobs), not that she bothered to write any of that down on her application. Of course, peace can only last for so long before her past decides to catch up with her, this time in the form of Nebula. If their relationship status was complicated to begin with it seems to get more complicated the longer their both on planet.

Recommendation: The phrase "lesbian space coffee shop" pretty much covers this and when I saw it I was like "hell, damn, yah!" I mean, I love coffeeshop AUs set in "canon". And feelings, fraught pseudo-sibling feelings with some personal growth. *sigh* The good stuff.

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 9,458

Summary: Magical artifact in a New Jersey storage unit? Same weird shit, different day.

Recommendation: I adore these two. Bless Sholio for giving them some new wacky adventures and a chance to be badass for together and separately. This also had really good tension and I love the fairy tale vibes.

Rec: Our Bodies, Ourselves by Tamoline

Title: Our Bodies, Ourselves

Author: Tamoline

Canon: Ant-Man | MCU

Pairing: Hope Van Dyne/Ava Starr

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 6,737

Summary: If there was one bad thing about being cured from near constant pain, it was this - her body had apparently decided to start misbehaving in the most ridiculous of ways. It *wanted* things now, ached for them.

Recommendation: Ah, the siren's call of rare pairings strikes again. I just can't help myself and this was so good.

Rec: Initiative by manic_intent

Title: Initiative

Author: manic_intent

Canon: Ant-Man | MCU

Pairing: Scott Lang/Jimmy Woo

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 6,369

Summary: “Hello again,” Scott said, as cheerfully as he could. Standing by the holographic deck in the middle of the shiny new Situation Room in the shiny new HQ for ATLAS, Jimmy stared at Scott. “Did you need something else, Mister Lang?” Scott winced. The past year since the Ghost Incident hadn’t changed Agent Jimmy Woo much. Same wary expression, as though Scott was going to cart off the TV if Jimmy turned his back. Jimmy was still looked perfectly folded into his black suit with the neat tie, his collar pressed to sharp edges. “No uh. Just want to say. I’m happy to be here?”

Recommendation: Ack, Scott, and Jimmy being the dorks we know they are and, honestly, this is one of the better explanations for Endgame. I love the thought of an all-women power team with Scott as the token guy.

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 3,241

Summary: "Oh, whoa, okay, wait, hold up." Scott came to a halt in the middle of the sidewalk, clutching his bag of tacos to his chest. "I think he actually was asking me out."

Recommendation: Oh man, Scott is just as adorably neurotic on the inside as you'd expect and I love Jimmy getting the chance to be badass. Gah!

Rec: Jurisdiction by manic_intent

Title: Jurisdiction

Author: manic_intent

Canon: Ant-Man | MCU

Pairing: Scott Lang/Jimmy Woo

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 5,949

Summary: “Let’s say that I met someone kinda cute,” Scott said as he and Luis sat down for tacos in Taqueria El Farolito, hunched over their burritos against the bright yellow and orange wall. “But we didn’t meet in the best of circumstances, and they probably hate me. How would I fix things?”

Recommendation: As one of my favorite authors, I was pleased as punch to discover manic_intent pretty much captaining the good ship Woolang. You have to love dumbass Scott and straight-laced dork Jimmy and their Luis voice is so pitch perfect. So good.

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 2,510

Summary: Why is there food around every time Scott makes a fool of himself in front of Agent Woo (aka Weekend Woo, After-Hours Woo, DJ Woo, and Jimmy)?

Recommendation: Despite like Scott and Hope, I couldn't help but notice how flirty Scott was with Agent Woo and boy am I glad that I wasn't the only one.

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 1,518

Summary: Robbie can’t keep his eyes off the good-looking guy whose car was just brought in. Is it wishful thinking, or is the new guy hitting on him? Set pre-Ghostrider.

Recommendation: This should totally count as a good first date, especially once Robbie catches a clue.

Summary: Trip’s assigned field work in East LA. He takes a little time off to make time with a hot guy he finds in a dive bar.

Recommendation: Give me rare pairings or give me death (or something like that). This is super hot and I love it, and Trip deserves more love (that smile) as does Robbie.
