Winterheart is a much loved frostiron fanfic by goddamnhella. The story, which is loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast, with Loki as the beast and Tony as Belle, might be considered a fandom classic. According to an archive link on Wayback Machine, [1] the first chapter of the story was posted on October 13, 2013, on AO3.

Author's summary:

For his crimes, Loki’s punishment began in a lonely and endless winter. For Tony’s sacrifice, his imprisonment began with a rescue.

A story of ugliness and beauty, inside and out, and learning what the word ‘monster’ really means.

An ebook edition of the fic was made available on January 27, 2015, and a paperback was published on February 16, 2015. [2]

Winterheart was orphaned by the author on the Ao3 in 2017. [3]

PRAYER CIRCLE FOR ANYONE WAITING FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER OF WINTERHEART [4]

Tully Vincent:

This story reads like a lovely m/m fairy tale and it sucked me in. Its free fanfic, but a darn good read even if you are not a huge Avengers fan (which I'm not). Well-written, there were a few editing errors but not enough to detract from the story at all. I enjoyed this story very much and stayed up way too late reading it. My one quibble is that I'd have preferred if it ended after Chapter 21 (which I loved). The last chapter just sort of seemed to drag it out unnecessarily for me. [5]

Nia_Kantorka on Chapter 1:

Thanks for reposting your fics. I was lucky and had saved my favourites, but saw quite a few people searching for them, especially Winterheart and Off the Record. Just good to see them again. :D

Happy writing you wonderful talented person. Take care! (February 21, 2017) [6]

Liu on Chapter 1:

I just found this fic again after so long and I wanted to thank you again for writing this, Winterheart stole my soul for months, I remember waiting for updates and feeling such joy whenever there was a new part, reading and holding my breath, and then squealing about it and re-reading. I miss those simpler days, and I miss waiting for your astonishing writing. Thanks for sharing this beautiful gem of a fic that changed me in so many ways I can't even begin to describe them. Thank you. (December 7, 2017) [6]

I know the premise sounds a little dubious, but it's a truly amazing fic by one of my favorite authors.[7]
