Five fic recs for Darcy fans, old and new

she blinded me with political science by thingswithteeth Darcy Lewis/Bruce Banner

This is one of my all-time favourite Darcy fics. I adore the sweet, slow-building romance, Tony and Darcy’s friendship is hilarious and the writing style is just so much fun to read. A+++ would read again and again and again.

We Need To Stop Meeting Like This by CircusBones Darcy Lewis/Fandral the Dashing

This story has romance, action, character development, Darcy being a BAMF—basically everything I want in a fic. And this ship is called ‘Fancy’, how can you not love that?!?

My, What Red Lips You Have (Might I Have A Taste?) by sarcastic_fina Darcy Lewis/Tony Stark

A lot of people prefer to view Darcy and Tony as a bromance, or even as father and daughter, but this fic, brief as it is, makes me ship them whole-heartedly as a smouldering hot couple. It’s just one kiss, but it melts my pants every time.

So The Fallen Shall Rise series by dhauren Darcy Lewis/Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers

In reality I love and rec every single thing in the Darcy/Bucky/Steve tag on AO3, but I had to pick something so this is a series I’m loving right now. It starts with established Steve/Darcy and covers the return of the Winter Soldier. I can’t wait to see where it goes.

London Calling by Britt1975 Darcy Lewis/Clint Barton

I didn’t ship these two until I read this fic. The chemistry between Darcy and Clint practically sparks off the page in this delicious application of the fake relationship trope (one of my favourite tropes :)).

Bonus links

It seems strange to have no Darcy Lewis/Steve Rogers on this list, seeing as that was how I found my way into the fandom, but my favourite Darcy/Steve fics are actually abandoned WIPs. If you have the constitution for that sort of thing, here are the links:
