Summary: After the BLIP {Natasha, Steve and Tony are all present}, the avengers are finally settled back in at Stark Tower. Tony’s sister is coming in to take over the business so he can retire… just in time for the holidays. But she’s not alone… there’s a 5 year old trailing her. Y/N is full of mystery and intrigue…but some secrets are better left unsaid. [A summary pulled directly from the author]

Why I Like it: !!!!!! This fic is just adorable!!!!! Like, just Bucky bein a dad is always adorable…. And this fic is just so soft and pure with a little angst in the middle, making it just amazing. Also I'm a sucker for social media au's (don't come at me with "it's not real writing", cause I'll throw hands. Writing is writing no matter the format, and these authors put in too much damn work to be told it isn't up to your damn standards) and just...gosh I love it so much!!!!!

Summary: Both you and Steve are hopelessly in love with one another, but neither of you know of the others feelings. Eventually Bucky decides to take it upon himself to help the both of you out, but not in the right way, and Steve ends up hot and angry.

Why I Like it: Usually I don't rec 18+, but it's amazing and not too graphic. I love the buddy-buddy relationship Buck and Wanda have going, and how they are both invested in getting Steve and the Reader together. Not to mention this golden bit: “I get the picture.” You made a face and she chuckled low. “No seriously y/n, I can see the mental image and I kinda want to vomit.” This is probably my favorite line! Please mind the tags, but go check this out!!

Summary: Alec just wanted to find a roommate who believed in plates or didn’t have a pet tarantula. He was wondering whether he was going to live the rest of his life on a couch listening to Star Wars fan theories when Simon walked into the apartment with a triumphant look shouting “I have found you the perfect roommate!”

Why I Like it: Solely because they continue to call Simon a completely different "S" name. Ok that's not the only reason, but a major one. HOLY WOW this is filled with that perfect trope of them both really liking one another but afraid the other doesn't like them. It is so. frickin. adorable! I feel like I might explode from how happy reading this makes me! It's just amazing in all sense of the word and it's 1000000% worth staying up 'til 12:30 to read! (Please check the notes on this work for any warnings, there's a few)

Update (7/22/19): This now has 9 chapters out of 13, and this last one hit hard. It brought literal tears to my eyes, it's that emotional of a chapter, but I don't hold any resentment. This is truly an AMAZING fic, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it!! I don't want it to end, but I can't wait to see where this goes!!

Summary: You found studying in the small coffee shop near your college was more pleasant than the library. Partly because it had coffee and definitely because it had the cutest barista in town: Bucky. (Summary from the Author)

Why I Like it: More fluff!! Bucky is such a lovestruck dork in this, I almost got secondhand embarrassment. Also? Sam being a teasing jerk? That was adorable too, because what are friends for?? This is just so sweet! Please read it!

Why I Like it: First, if you can't stand angst, this is not for you. It's short, but holy wow, this is so well written and it made me cry!! I'm at a loss of words over this!

Summary: Peter goes to find a hoodie to wear only to realize that you've taken literally all of his hoodies, and he intends to get them back.

Why I Like it: It's nothing but fluff and cuteness! I realize that's almost all I recommend, but I don't care! Also? This author said this wasn't one of their best works? I absolutely have to go and read all of them then, because this is so good and I can't imagine how good the others will be!!

Summary: You, a somewhat sassy Gryffindor girl, have troublemaker tendencies, which gradually becomes worse after you sneak into the Forbidden Forest and get attacked by a werewolf. Now you have to find out who that is, all the while navigating you and your best friend, Lily Evans, away from a bothersome group named the Marauders. Which turns out to be more and more difficult as your hate towards Sirius Black might not be hate after all.. (Direct Summary of the Author)

Why I Like it: It slowly introduces the relationship between the reader and Sirius; there's six chapters so far and the reader's gone from "I really hate you" to "I hate you a little less" and I love it. Also, it's got some great humor and overall it's a great read!!
