fic recs - archive

Oh god here we go, I've got two fics to add to my rec list because I simply can't help myself.

And at the rate I'm going, I may need to think about creating a 00Q section on the fic rec list because guys.

Anyway.

Firstly

Midnight Train -- Steve takes a trip on a train because he would like to try it. Loki shows up. This is absolutely lovely, a beautiful little discussion back and forth, and I think Loki here is very well done. Conniving, scheming, and just the right amount of broken just beneath the surface. Go reeeeaaaad. It's a fantastic Loki x Steve (and I'm not saying that just because I beta'd it either. I wouldn't rec it if I didn't love it.)

elionai -- Series. Read both the stories. They are fantastic. Just fantastic. This blend of the His Dark Materials with the Avengers in the best way possible. I definitely shrieked when I saw the crossover, but then the entire fic just blows the entire concept out of the water. This is FANTASTIC. Why are you still reading this, GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW.

An Ice-Puzzle for Understanding -- Fairy tale feel, despite the modern setting. Steve starts to have these dreams about ice and snow and he isn't sure what's up. All very subtle, and one of the few 'Steve turns coat' stories I've found at all believable.

In the Land of Gods and Monsters -- Ee. Eeeeeeee. I love this. Smut, of course, lovely smut, but that's really not the only thing that gets stuff rec'd, you know? This line right here just sold it entirely for me :  “I wasn’t ruined before you.” Just this swirl of chaos against order, and I am a sucker for both curiosity and temptation. Oh, and tiny bits of humour too.

The potential you'll be (that you'll never see) -- Oh, look. This is how FrostIron should be--broken, knowing it won't work, and all dark edges. Mmm. Utterly tragic and no less delicious.

As ever, full list over here
