Rating: R
Summary: She's not in a good place at the moment. But honestly, neither is the planet as a whole. Following the Skrull Invasion, Jessica Drew, always a woman of contradictions, does two things. When faced with the uncertainty of what being Spider-Woman really means, she runs. When faced with the reality of maybe being the 'most screwed-over person in the history of the universe', she pretty much just hits things. She can't be a hero, and she can't be an Avenger. Not right now. But she can take Abigail Brand's offer of a more permanent position at S.W.O.R.D. She can take her revenge. One lousy alien at a time.

Summary: Thor remembers little from the early days of his life. Only flickers of memory from before he came to Jotunheim, and from after, only bits and pieces, some puzzles that do not make a whole. An intense loneliness, perhaps. A profound sense of loss, but of what he knows not. Mostly, he remembers being surrounded by giants, a small pink-fleshed boy in a sea of frost and ice. And the king, the smallest of the Jotuns, holding out his hand and telling him, "You are my brother, Thor." Eventually he left behind all but the vaguest of memories: Once he was a son of Asgard. Once he had a brother. Now he has another one, and he is the king of Jotunheim, and his name is Loki.

♠ Title: No Fear of Heights
Author name: obsessionality
Characters/Pairing: Maria Hill, Phil Coulson, Nick Fury, Ensemble – Maria/Natasha
Rating: R
Summary: Maria Hill is the assistant director of SHIELD, a high-flying member of a high-flying covert agency, whose friends and colleagues could, and often did take off, into flight. But while most of them come from similar, if exceptional, military backgrounds, not all of them have the same story. This story is about Maria Hill, her history, and the price you have to pay for finding acceptance, when you belong to a high-flying, high-risk super secret organisation like SHIELD. Tony Stark's not wrong, entirely. You do have to be a certain type of messed up, to find a home in SHIELD, or any similar intelligence agency. Normal people did not thrive in places where sex-change forms were a normal thing and re-writing Wills was a monthly business. Maria Hill always thought she was the exception. She always thought she was pretty normal, compared to the rest of the lot. She wasn't. But while Stark wasn't wrong, he wasn't exactly right, either. SHIELD is like the ocean; what it taketh away, it often giveth back, with upgrades.

The truth is, nothing has been the same for Steve since he woke up seventy years in the future, everything and everyone he knew long since gone. Soon it seems as if everyone has forgotten about Loki and the Chitauri as new villains crop up and life goes on with humanity more than capable of causing just as much, if not more, chaos than Loki had. For Steve though, Loki and his fate ever remain a niggling uncertainty in the back of his mind. It's a cool, crisp October day that Steve finally learns what happened to the god of mischief.

Author name: legete
Characters/Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers
Rating: PG-13
Summary: "Hide that," he says, forcing the words out past every instinct. "As well as you can, all right? Before morning." Steve stares at him blankly, like he needs a moment to work this out, then swallows once, sharply. "What's your name?" he asks at last—asks as he stands there with the pelt in his hands. And oh, he thinks suddenly, what is his name? He can't speak it, not with this mouth, he can't sing it into the air like he can in the ocean. He just shakes his head; like his nakedness, it's something he can't explain. Steve nods, just nods, his eye swelling shut and blood drying on his shirt collar, and says "we’ll figure it out." (An AU where, instead of being orphans together, Bucky is a young selkie who is accidentally called to Steve and ends up staying around to help this poor, wretched kid not die.)

But because the universe hates her, she instead gets to run around after her teenage employees (she was definitely not this sassy when she was their age!), attempt to stop Tony Stark from running Steve's baking supplies through his pocket spectroscopy machine and deal with her hugely inappropriate crush on Jessica Drew, who is far too attractive for a grad student studying spiders. And just when exactly did she sign up for her life to be a coffeeshop AU?

Lead by Special Agent Phil Coulson, this SHIELD squad delves into the hostile history of the victim, as well as the seedy side of corporate espionage and the tense atmosphere of government-funded research. With so many enemies, however, narrowing it down to just one suspect is no easy chore. And as the pool of suspects diminishes with each alibi, matters take a turn for the worse as a civilian and one of SHIELD's own is kidnapped! With a reluctant FBI agent and an on-the-run CIA operative providing the only clues, it's up to Agent Coulson's team to find the missing people before the suspect not only escapes, but kills the hostages.

♠ Title: Jurassic Stark
Author name: immoral_crow
Characters/Pairing: Tony Stark/Steve Rogers, Phil Coulson/Clint Barton, Natasha Romanov, Bruce Banner, Pepper Potts, Thor, Loki
Rating: R
Summary: In a world where DNA has overtaken the atom as the weapon of choice, Tony Stark has decided there is no future for him as a manufacturer of weaponised life-forms. Instead he decides to use biotechnology to amaze and educate the masses. Thus, Jurassic Stark – an amusement park with a difference. Instead of twee rides and tame animals he will wow the public with real-life dinosaurs. What can possibly go wrong? Well, Steve Rogers could name one or two things. If the storm that trapped his tour in the middle of the park hadn't been bad enough, it turns out that you really don't want to make Dr. Banner angry (unless you like T. Rex that is). Oh yeah, and the Velociraptor keeper, who goes by the unusual name of Loki, seems to be both able to communicate with the raptors and intent on taking over the park. Frankly, Stark is a dick who doesn't think his plans through. Will the team learn to pull together? Can they defeat Loki and his sinister raptor army? How many hours can the author spend researching dinosaur behaviour instead of writing? If you want the answers to all these questions and more – or if you've ever wanted Steve to kick a Velociraptor in the head – then this is the fic for you.

Rating: R
Summary: “So, I've got this question,” Tony says when he walks into the Avengers' living room this morning, “and feel free to ignore me if, y'know, I'm talking crazy here, but have any of you spontaneously burst into song lately?” There is a moment of total silence. Then Natasha curses in Russian and Clint bursts out with “I knew there was something off with those back-up singers!” Steve says nothing, but he blushes, and Thor claims that he noticed nothing out of the ordinary, as he tends to spontaneously burst into song anyway. Or, the one where New York falls under a musical spell and that is not nearly as much fun as it sounds like.

♠ Title: Bid my blood to run
Author name: gottalovev
Characters/Pairing: Tony Stark/Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Pepper Potts, James Rhodey Rhodes, Jane Foster, Bruce Banner (as main characters, the rest of the Avengers are in support). Implied brief Tony/OFC, past Tony/Pepper and past Tony/Loki.
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Being in charge of the Science Division of the California Shatterdome is great, but contributing to the actual fighting would be better. Tony used to pilot a Jaeger with his father as a teen, but when Howard was killed he swore he'd never drift with another human again. Instead he designed Iron Man, a man-sized armor that he wants to control while drifting with JARVIS, his AI. The problem is that humans and machines are not meant to be drift compatible: will it prove to be too dangerous? As a FYI, the Jaeger teams = Steve&Bucky, Pepper&Rhodey, Clint&Natasha and Thor&Loki.
