JARVIS' "son", android Jonas Vision, was made to help Iron Man, but is getting stifled by the team's overprotection. Meanwhile, HYDRA has in its clutches half a dozen kids with bad family histories or just bad luck, and HYDRA has been 'refining' them.

Rating: NC-17
Word count: 16.7k
Warnings: A/B/O universe, Slut-shaming, Ageism, Self-Mutilation/Self-Harm -like thoughts
Summary: Heats only ever happen when the omega's biology is kickstarted by drinking bloodwine - and Tony's never drunk a drop. Part of that was because his father made it clear how omegas could be taken advantage of during their heats, and part of it was because the few times he made a decision to take part of the ritual, his partners always managed to make him regret that choice.
Now, on the Avengers team, he wants to help his fellow omega out, help Bruce show Natasha that he's interested in having her court him, and Bruce tries to put off Tony by saying he'd only take part of the Dance if Tony himself did so. And Tony, well, he's old, right? Who'd want an old omega? And he could finally take part of a ritual he'd forever denied himself under the watchful eyes of Wardens who would keep him from being taken advantage of.
Only Tony didn't expect anyone to choose him, least of all Steve Rogers. But little did he know that Steve Rogers has a different reason for choosing Tony, and that there was another alpha waiting in the wings, hoping to court Tony himself.

Warnings: Threesome.
Rating: M
Summary: When Darcy Lewis moved to New York, she didn't expect to run into an old crush, or meet someone new who (literally) swept her off her feet.
Clint Barton was the jackbooted thug she'd eyed in New Mexico, but underneath that cocky, self-assured exterior was a lonely, vulnerable man. Their connection quickly deepened from sassy to surprisingly tender. Meanwhile, all-American hero Steve Rogers was a good boy on the surface, but as Darcy got to know him she realized that there was more to Steve than that apple pie image he let the world see. Their relationship burned hot, but would that be enough?
She wasn't looking for romance - yet found herself a) in a love triangle between two best friends and b) taking advice from Tony Stark.
Surprisingly, it did not, in fact, blow up in her face.
The majority of the fic takes place in post-TWS New York City.
(Inspired by the movie This Means War.)

But more than a century later when Arendelle is invaded, Loki vows to keep his promise to her to protect their people. But these mortals are far more dangerous than those he used to know, especially his new enemy Johann Schmidt. What begins as an attempt to protect a small kingdom becomes a more important quest to protect the world from the evils of the Red Skull. But at least, he doesn't have to do it alone.

Word count: 46,628 words
Warnings: None
Summary: Until a few months ago, Clint Barton was a successful stunt guy, more accustomed to falling off buildings and making a fight look good than worrying about lines and motivation. Now, he's an award nominated actor (it was a fluke, he swears) about to take the biggest role of his career: co-lead in the eleventh Agent Banks of SHIELD movie, working with the actor he's admired (or maybe more than just admired) for years. It should be the best job ever.
Except for a few problems, like his lack of acting experience, and the part where his contract is to take over the SHIELD series after Phil Coulson finishes this last movie. At least he isn't doing anything really disastrous, like falling for his co-star. Right?

Summary: Marcus Johnson, aka Nicholas Fury, Jr., played the long game. He snagged a quote from Winston Churchill from World War II when he said, "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key…" and applied to the enemies of SHIELD. Fury set out to finish the job his father, Colonel Nick Fury, Howard Stark and Peggy Carter started when Steve Rogers flew Red Skull’s plane into the sea. His father retired, dumping SHIELD at his feet, Howard is dead and Peggy aged—can Nick, with the help of his shadow agents protect SHIELD from its enemies that are striking from within? There's more to Fury losing his eye than is generally known—Russian nesting dolls have nothing on Nick Fury.

And a confused Hulk who also happens to do heroic things and saves people because he's big and strong and sometimes angry for the right reasons. A few glimpses at a possible depth beyond the scary angry green monster that was the Hulk and social media exploded with comments and analysis and theories. Until one voice among the million said: 'Maybe the Hulk just needs a hug.' Doctor Bruce Banner, who doesn't pay any attention to social media, was very confused by the results. Especially the t-shirts.
Basically, this is the story of how the Hulk became New York's favourite Avenger.

But Tony had to be blind not to notice the trinkets that Steve and Bruce were sporting.
In a world where omegas are given courting gifts of jewelry when alphas or betas or other omegas want to have sex with them, the media, the newspapers, and talk show hosts always make dismissive and disgusted remarks about how Tony Stark sleeps with so many people and yet refuses to wear any of their jewelry in public. Self-centered and arrogant, some say, while others whisper that, with his wealth, Tony really shouldn't be asking for gifts in the first place. Even with all the speculation about how rich and how decadent Tony's jewelry collection must be, however, no one's ever seen it.
Because Tony... Tony doesn't have a collection at all.
