Tony had been up for a few days now. He wasnât great at sleeping at the best of times, but since the whole âhole-in-the-sky-with-aliens-pouring-outâ debacle, heâd been having nightmares. He was scared to go back to sleep, not that heâd admit that to anyone.
Heâd been distracting himself in the lab when he wasnât actively out being Iron Man or taking meetings with people. Since the Battle for New York, heâd made twenty-three new versions of his Iron Man armor. All the different versions lined the walls of his workshop in different cases.
He was waning though. In the past when he felt like this, heâd head out to a club, pick out someone to take home, and hope the sex would give him an endorphin high that would get him a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Tonight, he went to the communal kitchen to make himself the strongest coffee he could.
When he stepped into the room he was surprised to find Clint up. âHey, Legolas,â he said, beelining to the coffee machine. âCanât sleep?â

I have far too many AU fic recs, so they're getting split between two months. This month we get the fully AU (different setting, soulmates, time loops, etc) and next month will be for canon divergence. That said I am 100% playing fast and loose with my own rules so if something in the list doesn't totally follow that metric, just go with it.
As always, authors are tagged if their tumblr username is available in their ao3 profile. If you know the tumblr username of any untagged authors, please let me know! (If you're tagged and don't want to be, let me know and I will remove the tag)
Hades
Almost Home by surprisepink - 1k, Asterius/Theseus, T, no archive warnings apply
To be scorned and hated was expected, when a monster was wed to the king of Athens. What Asterius had no way of predicting was how Theseus would respond.
I think I've read every single one of surprisepink's Thesterius fics, and this one is just so perfect in how it changes things up. Asterius being married off to Theseus to humiliate both of them is exactly the kind of angst I live for, and I would legit read 100k of this.
Merlin
The Crown of the Summer Court by @astolat - 24k, Arthur/Merlin, E, creator chose not to use archive warnings
"The king sent me to get you," Merlin said, with a tone that implied strongly that he wasn't rolling his eyes where Arthur could see, but just wait until his back was turned. "He said you're to get changed into formal clothes and meet him in the Great Hall, there's a delegation coming from the Summer Court."
Fae politics make brain go brrr. Genuinely this fic is one of my favourites, even though I don't tend to read a lot of Merlin fic. Sometimes a fic outside your usual fandoms just hits all the right beats to make it into the faves anyway.
Call of Duty
Ripple Effect by HigherMagic - 11k, Ghost/Soap, E, graphic depictions of violence
"I'll be moving on soon. The problem I was here for is dealt with. As my best customer I figured you should know."
A confusing mix of emotions rises in Soap at that, muddies his thoughts like disturbed silt. His nostrils flare as he snorts, lowering his muzzle so the knight cannot see the unhappy twist of his wide mouth. His ears press back. He'll admit keeping himself fed has been a lot easier with the knight's semi-weekly delivery; he hasn't had to hunt, lure, or trick for his meals in ages. But Soap has lived for many, many long years, and knows he will not go hungry.
He'sâŠsad, he realizes. Upset that he will no longer be able to catch a glimpse of this knight, with his golden hair and masked face. He's grown accustomed to it, dare he say looks forward to their routine, even though the knight has only ever spoken to him the last time he was here.
KELPIE SOAP KELPIE SOAP KELPIE SOAP I can be normal about this fic I promise I'm so normal about this fic I am not normal about this fic or this concept someone send help
Yellow Card by eddie_dxaz, skerryB - 99k, Ghost/Soap, E, no archive warnings apply
Simon Riley, captain of the Manchester Soldiers, is one of the best goal scorers in the entire premier league. For some reason, however, he cannot score a goal against John MacTavish to save his life. It's driving him a little mad at this point.
When John gets booted from his team for a "breach of contract" Simon does his best to be professional, to welcome his new goalie. That's what good captains do. It's just a shame MacTavish is such an arrogant prick.
This is it. The fic that suckered me into the CoD fandom. I cannot recommend it enough it is so good.
Star Wars
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch by @formlessvoidbeast - 85k, Jango/Obi-Wan, E, creator chose not to use archive warnings
âWho are you, meshl'ika?â Jango breathed, fingertips brushing the cool beskar of their cheek. The statue seemed so real. Even though they were made of metal, Jango expected them to open their eyes, to look at him and answer.
An archaeological dig out in the war-devastated deserts of Manda'yaim unearths part of the lost temple of Tarre Vizsla, and inside it a group of Mandalorian Jedi preserved in beskar. The beautiful youth at the center seems to be the keystone of a ritual long forgotten.
But figuring out how to wake Obi-Wan is only the beginning of the story...
I adore a Sleeping Beauty AU, and this fic more than delivers. I just love this fic.
in the darkness they climbed the wire by @sophronist - 2k, gen, G, no archive warnings apply
He finally found a way to get himself and his brothers off of Dathomir and out from under their tyrannical mother's thumb. Now all he needs to do is keep said brothers out of sight of his new employers long enough to get well out of reach, while also keeping his new employers from realizing he lied on his resume and actually has no idea how to do his new job.
Piece of cake.
When I say I could read 100k of this fic and still need more. The worldbuilding packed into just 2k is amazing, and good worldbuilding is my kryptonite.
how to disappear completely by @jaigeye - 11k, Jango/Mace, M, graphic depictions of violence, major character death
Jango rubs a hand over his throat where his head was severed from his body. Some pain lasts beyond a thousand deaths.
Jango is stuck in a loop that just won't stop.
Look, sometimes you just want to watch a man have the worst day of his life over and over again, and that's okay. That's exactly what this fic is for. Torturing Jango Fett. And I love it.
Still No Rest by @hickeygender - 5k, Cody/Obi-Wan, not rated, graphic depictions of violence
âHere,â Cody says, handing a tin cup with the last of the coffee to Ben, who takes it with his right hand. His sleeve rides up, and Cody sees a sliver of his pale burn scars that are mostly covered by his jacket and gloves.
âOh, thank you, Cody,â Ben replies. The drink steams hot in the nippy morning air and Cody is almost tempted to make another pot. Too bad they need to be making tracks. Cody extinguishes the fire before going and securing his bedroll to Ghost and slipping him a sugarcube. He pats the white mustang affectionately before setting his boot in the stirrup and saddling up.
âYouâll spoil that horse, you know,â Ben says as he finishes his coffee. Cody raises his brows.
âOh? If I spoil Ghost, then you pamper Boga,â he says, and Ben sniffs haughtily as he climbs up into his blue roanâs saddle, not dignifying that with a response.
Western AU my beloved! This fic is just so good guys I love everything about it but especially the vibes.
DC
So your Soulmate's a Jerk by The_Dancing_Walrus - 7k, Barry/Leonard, T, no archive warnings apply
It was like an acid burn, for a moment everything felt normal and then it was like Barry's whole body was on fire. It was like the biggest shot of adrenaline, like he was suddenly way too aware of everything from the pain in his ribs to the smell of the front offices. He gasped at the same time Snart did, hand going up to his cheek which was still too hot and-
He turned, it felt like it took a lifetime, and Snart was on the floor staring up at him-
His whole hand had turned a red so dark it was almost black. A Lichtenberg figure, the analytical part of Barryâs brain supplied, Leonardâs Mark looked like a lightning burn.
Nothing like finding out your archenemy is your soulmate to ruin your day, ammirite? I love the "oh shit" moment of realisation and how it all just spirals from there.
The Criminal Keeper, an Origin Story by @townwithoutheart - 11k, Barry/Leonard/Mick, not rated, no archive warnings apply
Joe West never adopted Barry Allen. In the wake of his mother's murder and his father's incarceration, Barry is bounced between orphanages and foster homes, the child of an imperfect system.
Fast-forward fifteen years, to a future where Barry was never struck by lightning, never became the Flash. He works as a forensic analyst for the police and volunteers his spare time to the Wishing Well Foundation, granting wishes to children with life-threatening conditions. It's a pretty straight forward life, really.
... or it was, until a little girl named Anna is asked to make a wish. Her response? "I want to meet Captain Cold."
One of my absolute favourite no-powers AUs of all time. Based on a tumblr post and builds off it perfectly.
Running Headlong into My Arms by gleesquid - 54k, gen, T, graphic depictions of violence
Bruce doesnât like to credit one thing for saving his life, but if he did, it would be Halyâs Circus that Friday night in September, just as summer was beginning to die.
(He'll always be a sucker for kids with sad eyes, no parents, and more fight than the world knows what to do with.)
Or: in a universe where superheroes don't exist, Bruce Wayne finds his family.
A no powers AU where Bruce still compulsively adopts every child that looks vaguely sad in his vicinity is everything I need in life.
Marvel
Making Me A Habit by @kangofu-cb - 20k, Clint/Bucky, T, no archive warnings apply
Bucky is a disabled vet struggling with reintegrating into civilian life. He has a routine and a rhythm, and he doesn't like to let anything - big or small - disrupt it. That all changes the day Bucky finds himself inside CATastrophe, the local pet rescue, recovering from a panic attack in the back room of the shop.
Heâs used to walking by the place, not visiting, but the next thing Bucky knows, heâs hanging signs and being used as a climbing tree for a bunch of freshly-acquired kittens. And he just...keeps going back. First for the kittens, then for the disaster shop owner who rescues actual kittens from actual trees and teaches archery as a side-gig, and eventually because heâs hopelessly in love.
(Clint was in love before Bucky ever walked in the door.)
WinterHawk + cute pets is always going to be a winning combo for me, and this fic delivers it in spades. It's a favourite for when I'm looking for something soft and sweet.
Outnumbered by sara_holmes - 18k, Clint/Bucky, T, creator chose not to use archive warnings
Bucky Barnes returns to Brooklyn ready to get back into the world, make friends and sleep with Steve's super hot neighbor. The fact that the guy turns out to be a single dad to two-year-old triplets who spend most of their time causing mischief, trouble and mayhem doesn't deter Bucky at all. Steve would like it on record that he thinks Bucky is insane.
No powers AU and a kidfic? I'm sold every time. This fic is so cute I cannot recommend it enough.
Speechless by sara_holmes - 10k, Clint/Bucky, T, creator chose not to use archive warnings
It's not that Bucky doesn't want to talk. It's that sometimes (most of the time) he can't. So learning ASL is 50% getting around that slight issue and 50% getting Steve to shut his cake-hole about the necessity of him learning to speak again.
Well, to begin with. Then it's pretty much all about him falling head-over-heels for his incredibly hot - yet slightly tragic - ASL teacher.
I just love fics where Bucky learns ASL to help him communicate after all the trauma.
Visiting Hours are Nine to Forever by @tahlreth - 17k, Clint/Tony, T, no archive warnings apply
Look, Clint didn't mean to hit the guy, it just sort of happened. He was distracted, and the guy was distracted, and then things were a little bit out of his control. And even if it wasn't completely his fault, he still feels pretty bad about it. He had to go see the guy, didn't he? It was only polite, so yeah. He'd do that.
And look, he doesn't mean to start fake dating his accident victim either, but sometimes life is weird that way. You just gotta go with the flow when it happens, and learn to be the best fake boyfriend ever.
Fake dating, Clint and Tony both being a little disastrous, this fic is painfully adorable.
A Treasured Guest by @27dragons - 18k, Bucky/Tony, T, no archive warnings apply
Despite all of Tonyâs genius, the warband known as the Avengers has conquered Tonyâs hometown. When the townâs stores fall short of the tithe the Avengers demand, Tony volunteers to become part of the tribute, enslaving himself to the Avengersâ warlord to save the townspeople from starvation. He braces for the worst, but neither the Winter Soldier nor the Avengers are what heâs always been told they would be.
Warlord AU where things really aren't what they seem. This fic is one of my absolute favourites, and I cannot recommend it enough.
The Witcher
Don't Give Up On Me by AllTheQueensHorses - 11k, gen, T, no archive warnings apply
Lambert has been in the foster care system for years before he meets Vesemir. Maybe just this once, he will find someone who has the patience to help him along the way.
Undiagnosed-ADHD!Lambert and Pyrotechnician!Lambert
Lambert getting the support he needs and deserves to get to where he wants to go, and where he wants to go is blowing shit up. I love that for him. Genuinely though this fic is so sweet.
this is the road to ruin by @ghostinthelibrarywrites - 31k, Geralt/Jaskier, E, graphic depictions of violence
Working the night shift at the E-Z-Go, Jaskier is used to an assortment of strange characters. But Geralt, with his beat up old van, the swords in his passenger seat, and his occasional unexplained stab wound, may be the strangest. Jaskier canât decide if heâs a LARPer or a hitman. Either way, he wants to know more.
This fic is a lot of fun, and meshes the Witcher universe with a modern setting in a really fun way.
A Beginners Guide to Exploiting the Kaedweni Tax Code For Fun and Profit by @heronfem - 208k, Aiden/Lambert, M, no archive warnings apply
Aiden Kett and Lambert Wilkson accidentally get married, and this is honestly probably the least of their problems.
Featuring, in no particular order: technically not tax fraud from a legal standpoint but definitely tax fraud from an emotional standpoint, gender noncompliance, what do you mean you're moving in together, Geralt of Rivia as a professional horse girl, goats, an egregious amount of snark, a lot of take out food, licensed monster management in leather pants, Aiden's massive competency kink, found family, a great deal of love in the face of mental health struggles, and kittens.
Maybe no one in this family had a good childhood, but they'll be damned if they won't fight for a happily ever after.
This fic is stuffed full of feelings and healing and people trying to build healthy relationships with each other.
True Colors by @theladyragnell - 4k, Enjolras/Grantaire, G, no archive warnings apply
The first thing that catches Enjolras's eye when he enters the Musain Cafe for the first time is the walls. They're a dull black that it takes him a moment to realize must be chalkboard paint, because near the tables there are words and doodles, and all over, even the erased sections are stained with faint colored marks like the walls have soulmarks.
This is THE soulmate fic to me. Every soulmate fic I have ever written has been inspired by this one. I absolutely adore it.
Toil Until the Old Colours Fade by @drcalvin - 94k, Javert/Valjean, M, creator chose not to use archive warnings
After his leap into the Seine, Javert finds himself back in Montreuil-sur-Mer on the morning of his first appointment with M. Madeleine. He soon discovers that while his choices can change the outcome of things, nothing can stop death from delivering him back to that same morning.
Now he has to defeat the game of fate or keep returning to 1820, eternally dying without finding peace.
Let's do the Time Loop again! I love love love time loops and the helplessness the characters feel while they try to claw their way out of it.
Game of Thrones
and you will find me, time after time by @janiedean - 18k, Theon/Robb, M, creator chose not to use archive warnings
in which Theon's given a chance to go back in time and fix his mistakes after taking Winterfell.
It's not as easy as it looks like in the beginning.
Don't you just love to watch someone fail over and over again? No? Just me? Well I do love it.
The Magnificent Seven
With Fervent Heat by @liggytheauthoress - 10k, Faraday/Vasquez, M, graphic depictions of violence
"He can count on one hand the number of times heâs used his bending in the twenty years itâs been since his ma died. He learned fairly quickly that it was easier just to pretend he wasnât a bender, so he taught himself how to fight with guns and lead instead of smoke and sparks."
In which six of the seven are benders and Faraday really, really needs a hug.
You know what, I need more bending AUs in my life. Gimme. The worldbuilding in this fic is great, and the emotions and tension are just delicious.
After Midnight by Adora Addams, Katsuko - 53k, Robicheaux/Billy, Faraday/Vasquez, M, creator chose not to use archive warnings
When Bart Bogue makes his threats to the people of Rose Creek, Emma Cullen sets out to find some men who will do what it takes to save their town.
To find some monsters who will save Rose Creek.
Wherein most of the seven are gods or monsters, with little exception.
I absolutely adore the worldbuilding in this fic. It's just a really fun read.
iâll ship tony with every single maleâŠas long as heâs the bottom
and i know you guys agree with meâthe man gives off some serious bottom energy ngl
heâs just a short lilâ bisexual who enjoys being dominated
(headcanons for a few ships below the break)
(few of them are a little. um. spicy.)
(you have been warned!)
ironstrange (my personal favourite):
okay so stephen can portal, right?
and he used to be a surgeon
so he can name bones
so what if he just like
randomly appears behind tony, touches his spine or neck, and murmurs the bone names softly in tonyâs ear
tonyâs driven insane by it, so much so that whenever he hears the whoosh of a portal opening, he blushes and shivers
(going to the sanctum with stephen was torture for the man and pure delight for the sorcerers)
stevextony (stony, my second favourite)
carrying.
all the carrying around.
steve picks up tony at random times.
doesnât matter where he is, doesnât matter who heâs with.
just âletâs go, tonesâ.
tony complains if theyâre around peopleâŠbut strangely enough melts into steve once theyâre alone
steve asks for consent a lot, always wanting to make sure that tonyâs okay with it.
ironwinter (tonyxbucky):
tonyâs more playful here.
because when bucky gets tired of tony mouthing off?
oh, lord, he gets fierce
one time, tony was making snarky comments to bucky in front of the other avengers
bucky waited until tony had gone to the bathroom to get up
as soon as tony tried to leave the bathroom, bucky pounced on him
he got tony back into the bathroom, closing&locking the door and then proceeding to pin tony up against it
when they got out, half an hour later, tony was a lot more subduedâŠ
science boyfriends (tonyxbruce):
(actually didnât know this existed until i googled it, so here goes?)
bruce got the hulk back under control, yesâŠ
but he tends to show up a bit more whenever he and tony are alone.
picking him up with one hand, pressing up against him, pushing him down into the bedsheetsâŠyeah, tonyâs really submissive with him
because if heâs not?
bruce always puts him back in his place
if heâs more hulkish, heâll do it right then and there
if heâs more bruceish, thoughâŠthatâs when tony is really scared
last time, bruce brewed a special batch of tea that made tony INCREDIBLY sensitiveâŠfor weeks.
bruce has had no problems with tony since.
thunderiron (thorxtony):
thorâs always using his hammer to keep tony down
trying to get up from bed too early? hammer on the chest.
trying to run from him to avoid kisses? hammerâs gonna spin out of his hand and shove tony back towards him.
if heâs in his iron man suit, wrestling with thor? thorâs gonna get this boyâs wrists above his head and place the hammer on them. boom. incapacitated.
thor also doesnât quite understand humans yet, so when he finds out just how red tony turns when flusteredâŠ
touches on his neck in the middle of meetings makes tony stutter
touches on his back on the couch makes tony blush furiously
if theyâre alone, tony will whine softlyâŠif theyâre around other people, tony has to cover his mouth to muffle himself.
starkquill (tonyxpeter!) (peter quill, not peter parker):
SARCASM.
all the sarcasm!
and dirty jokes are quillâs main attack
tonyâs under the impression that both of them are equal in this relationship, but quill likes to remind him who belongs to who every now and again
rocket starts teasing tony a lot (âgot any new marks?â âsore, pretty boy?â âi can get a wheelchair if you need one after last night!â) and tony just glares at him
of course, quill always comes up behind him while rocketâs teasing and discreetly brushes tonyâs shirt collar to the side to reveal so many bruises and love bites that tonyâs skin is practically one giant mark
