Fandom Friday!

FanFri
Okay, so I’m a week late but I have a lot of recs so I hope that makes up for it.

Avengers

Bonding ‘Verse by Nix (CrimsonQuills)
As it turns out, the Extremis hadn’t quite finished rewriting Tony’s brain. The only potential fix has…consequences.
Love, love, love this series. Tony gets extreme telepathy due to extremis and so has to bond with someone so he doesn’t go insane from hearing people in his head. Steve volunteers but Tony doesn’t want him in his mind because then he will find out how much he feels for him. It’s amazing, but then again I’m a huge sucker for telepathy stories.

It Will Probably Accelerate by NorthAtlantic (BreakTheCitySky)
So the working title of this was variously ‘mixtape,’ ‘how steve rogers got his groove back’ and ‘oh my god quit thinking of things to add.’ Steve’s perspective of the assembly of the Avengers after the dust has settled and the rebuilding begins.
Pretty much just as the summary says. Steve is getting used to living in the 21st century and trying to find his place in it all. Its amazing, but slow moving.

(First Impressions Are) A Work in Progress by Porthos
Tony has a point system for the times he can get Steve to be less than perfect.
Tony kind of hates Steve at first sight so he takes it upon himself to get him to be less than perfect. They bicker and fight, until Steve punches Tony in the arc reactor during sparing and changes everything.


TeenWolf

And You Say You’re Alone by Taelynhawker
Between the kanima, the Argents, and Peter’s untimely return from the dead, everything has fallen apart. Stiles and Derek try to put their lives back together once the crisis has passed. Stiles deals with the aftermath of being tortured, and the distance growing between he and Scott. Derek attempts to become a stronger alpha and keep his pack safe, and that includes Stiles.

Caged By Frail and Fragile Bars by PublicSpeaking
It’s hard to find your place in life when you’re only human and feel completely replaceable. Or, how Stiles finds out that while yes, he is completely human, he is irreplaceable.

Worst Case Senario by SpiritsFlame
Stiles is good at compartmentalizing bad news. It’s partly a learned behavior, and partly because of his well practiced coping technique. It may not be the most emotionally healthy thing to do, but it gets him through the day.

Open the Door by Renay
Derek gives Stiles his jacket.

DILF by TwentySomething
“Today is Scott’s first day of kindergarten and Derek is terrified.”

(Sacred) In the Ordinary by Idyll
The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing’s gotten less complicated after all this time.

(After All) You’re My Wonderwall by Alasse
Stiles Stilinski met Derek Hale when he was 7 years old, after Derek helped him scare a bully away. They became the unlikeliest of friends, and it changed everything.

We’ve Written Volumes (in Blood and Scars and Ink) by NotTheQuietType
Stiles is on his back on hard-packed dirt. He’s cold and there are leaves stuck to his neck and there’s a four inch gash in his side that he thinks he can feel his ribs through. There’s so much blood around him he feels like he’s floating on a pond and everything is so much dimmer above him than it was a minute ago, which is saying something because he’s in the dark center of the forest in the middle of the night. And the worst of it is that he’s alone, totally alone with the smell of his own blood drowning him and the soft side of him run through by a tree.
As his eyes slip shut, the last thing he thinks is, “This is going to kill my dad.”

Coming Soon! (Tomorrow Actually)

So I realized I haven’t been updating this blog as much as I want to. So to give myself some incentive I decided to come up with days of the week that will correspond with what I will rec.

The only problem so far with this idea is that I have no idea what to do. The only day I have figured out so far is going to be Fandom Fridays. Which will work perfectly because I have been reading way too much fan fiction lately and so I can share the slashy goodness from that.

BUT back to the problem at hand: I am not sure what to do for any other days of the week. I want to update 2-4 times a week, so would really love for that to correspond to the days of the week. We’ll see what I come up with.

So for now look forward to FANDOM FRIDAYS which is starting tomorrow. Like I said I’ve been reading a lot of fan fiction lately so I may recommend around 5 things or more tomorrow. But normally it will probably be no more than 5. Will see. 

Heart in Hand

Hockey

Title: Heart in Hand

Author: salifiable

Archive Of Our Own

Summary:From Author
Darryl had realized very early on that for better or worse, he would be linked to Aleksey Kuznetsov for the rest of his life. But he never expected anything like this.

Review:
This story is very good. Kept me on the edge of my seat hoping things would work out between the two men. While there are some spelling errors through out the story I think they are manly because the story started out as a Hockey Real Person Slash (RPF) story. So when the author edited it some things probably got messed around. Needless to say the story is amazing and a must read, even if you are not a fan of sports or hockey. The characters feel real and as you go through lives you can’t help but want everything to work out between them.

If you wish to read the original version with the real names of the hockey players you can here. Although you will need a account with Archive of our Own in order to read it (which I recommend getting one, amazing site with a lot of stories, from fandom to orginal).

The Avengers: Steve Rodgers/Tony Stark

Cap n Iron

I will not only be recommending stories that are original but fandom based ones as well, anything that I find worth reading basically. Well that is slash.
Recent stories that I have been reading are from The Avengers movie. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but the dynamic between Rodgers and Stark is something I really enjoy. Here are a couple recomendations of fan fiction from the series.

Title: This time tommorrow (where were we?)

Author: dorcus_gustine

Archive Of Our Own

Summary:From Author
Tony goes to see Wanda, and suddenly Steve is alive and there are Skrulls! Or maybe Tony is just going crazy. Nothing happens in this fic, until the very end. Seriously. There’s a lot of talking, mostly at inopportune moments, Tony’s views on the acceptable gifts to give people are slightly different from everyone else’s and he spends more time than would seem necessary being (half-)naked. What else is new?

Review:
This story is amazing. With only knowing the basics of the series I was still able to follow along and really get a better feeling of the characters. This story had me finishing it in one sitting it was that good.

Title: Ready, Fire, Aim

Part 1
Part 2: Situation Normal: All Fucked Up
Part 3: Momentum

Summary:From Author
There’s no “I” in “Avenger.”

As it turns out, fighting crime is the easy part.

It doesn’t matter who you are; eventually, everyone’s past catches up to them.

Review:
This story was much different than the previous, while just as good it felt like it didn’t have as much angst to it and a bit more fluff. There was more interaction between the two characters that really left me feeling they changed over the course of the story.

Mind Magic

Summary:From Dreamspinner Press
Magical species must never mix. According to the rules, Simon Osborne should ignore the children’s cries for help. After all, they’re werewolf cubs, and he’s an apprentice mage. But for once in his life, Simon breaks the rules and rescues the cubs, saving them from a demon intent on draining them of their magic.

Of course, all actions have consequences, and Simon’s bold move earns him the displeasure of his peers and the attention of the cubs’ alpha, a man named Gray Townsend.

The last thing Gray needs is a mage in his life, but Simon did save his son. Since Simon is now a friend of the pack, Gray doesn’t have much choice about it—or the forbidden attraction that goes along with it. Unfortunately for the alpha, he needs Simon’s help to track down the demon behind the kidnappings—before it strikes again. Simon and Gray must join forces to protect the pack, even as they struggle to resist the temptation that threatens to destroy them both.

Review:
I absolutely and completely enjoyed this book. It is fairly short, around 200 pages, but you still get a complete feel for the characters. I highly recommend this book. For only $6.99 it is defiantly worth it.
