fel dreams

These are some of the Tony Stark bingo fills that have already been posted! Some stipulations:

• I mostly read sub 5k (and usually sub 4k if I'm honest) fics
  
• I mostly avoid any and all angst these days for mental health
  
• typically don't read much explicit fic these days
  
• Stony is a hard no
  
• as is Strange/Stark
  
• honestly i have a surprising number of eeehhh for tony ships
  
• if your fic isn't on this list, it's not because i hated it or whatever, these are just the fics that i had time to read and enjoyed and want to share!!!

Those out of the way, here's the ones I had time to read!!!

Cheesy Pick Up Lines by https://archiveofourown.org/users/tisfan/pseuds/tisfan - 865 words - Tony/Bucky preship, Modern fluff, Meet Cute -- Oh my goooodddd this is soooooo cute. I love the food truck puns, and Peter is cute and sassy and good. I also love Tony's running thoughts in this one, and feel like it really captures his voice!!

Performance Issues by tuesday - 1776 words - Peter Parker/Tony Stark - 5+1, Crack, Fluff, Sex Pollen (but no sex while under influence of said sex pollen), age gap, mature rating -- This is a fun bit of crack, and does a great job running with the concept of the universe wanting these two to bone but both of them finding ways to avoid it. Mind the tags, the warnings are at the bottom of the fic in an A/N instead of at the top, and otherwise have fun with this silly little romp through space.

Can't Cake my Eyes off You by mistrstank - 1759 words - Bucky Barnes/Tony Stark - Celebrity AU, baking fluff -- Tony is sooooooo hilariously clueless to how Bucky feels about him in this, and Bucky is going absolutely mad trying to get Tony to understand how much he cares about him. Bucky's also a youtube baker, and that on its own is pretty great. I love the little winks at canon--Bucky having been in a war, Tony's space fixation--while being its own self-contained little fluffverse.

(We are the ones)For Now by sleepoverwork - 1019 words - Pepper Potts/Tony Stark OR Pepper Potts & Tony Stark - nebulously canon adjacent, fluff, Pepper Potts is HBIC -- This is such such such a good Pepper Potts POV character study, and I wish we had more like this! It's so good, and we get a glimpse into just how much Pepper controls her surroundings. I also loved how it's so clear Tony thinks the moon and stars of Pepper even though it's not from his POV.

That's all for now!! I'll try and do another round up of these as more come up! There are, of course, more fics at the bingo's collection [here on ao3] and a lot of people putting forth great work, so definitely give it a read and see if you find something new you'll enjoy!!!

ETA: for like 2 seconds I had a link pointing to the wrong collection, it's been fixed!!

A little collection of (mostly) recent general audiences Avengers fic. Other than the first, all are sub 3000 words as well!!

It Starts Out Like an A-Word (As Anyone Can See) by Amy -- 8 chapter, 8092 words -- Each chapter is it's own little peer through the eyes of one of the Sesame street characters towards different members of the Avengers' team. It's pure fluff, and wonderfully well done. There's definitely nuance to the emotions here, and Amy has an excellent grasp of both the Sesame Street characters and the Avengers. There's no real overarching storyline here, just little scenes, but it's very much worth reading.

Three times Vision changes form on his own (and one time he doesn't) by stories_with_no_ending - 1919 words - Wanda/Vision -- I loved this so so much; it has Vision beginning to question their gender, how they fit with it, and how they fit within their body, and it's handled gracefully and gently. Wanda immediately works on trying to understand what Vision is going through, and by the end everyone has pretty much accepted this about Vision. I just love this so much, and wish things were this easy in the real world.

by Hydra_Trash_Gal - 448 words - Tony & Winter Soldier/Bucky -- A very very quick and low-angst (but still angst) fic about the Soldier (and Bucky) asking forgiveness and Tony eventually giving it.

Married?? by smith_lyra - 1198 words - Loki & Tony Stark -- Enemies to friends! It's very quick, and done in the 5+1 format that's almost always a delight to read. I love that it just assumes we're along for the premise, and doesn't spend ages trying to justify itself for what it is--some very fun, comedic fluff.

Modern Inconveniences by matrixrefugee - 237 words -- A Steve Roger's study, with his reaction to the drastically different textile practices of the modern day from what he grew up with. I love these sorts of little deep dives!

My Dad is my Hero by itislacey - 1792 words - Tony & Peter, Tony/Pepper -- A very cute kid!Peter and dad/mom Tony and Pepper. This is so adorable I wanted to claw my face off, and itislacey absolutely nailed how kids talk and act at that age. It's great, and there's some absolutely lovely family dynamics in here.

I'll Protect You by tonystank - 427 words - kid!Thor & kid!Loki -- A cute little kid!Loki has a nightmare and goes to kid!Thor to help. Ends on an angst note tho ;n;

Butter, Sugar, Flour, Salt by victoria_p - 536 words - Bucky focused -- I love food and I love fics where it's obvious the author also loves food, and so here we are. Food as memory, and food as a connection between people, too. This is short but lovely, just like the cookies referenced within the fic.

Filed under 5+1 because it's the same general premise, just one (in text)number short.

I.
"So I'll pick you up at eight?" Toni confirms, half leaning across the passenger seat so she can still see Loki's face.

"Yeah," Loki says, focused on her phone, long black hair half falling in front of her face. She looks up, the quickest flash of bright green eyes meeting Toni's, before she's looking at her phone again. Toni grins lazily, waves, and then sits up right before pulling away from the curb.

That date went pretty well.

***

I just don't know what she's thinking, is she into me?

I mean, you're meeting up for another date Friday right?

We did not go on a date, it was just l u n c h. Loki perhaps punches send a bit harder than necessary, then shoves her hair out of her face and scowls at the pile of dishes in the sink that need doing. It definitely wasn't a date.

Right?

This one takes place in the same universe as this fic here, and while you don't need to read that one to understand this one, I still recommend it anyway because it's very good.

58. I’m a demon, you’re a witch, we’re enemies but when I show up to kill you, you’re crying and I really don’t know what to do now -Meet ugly #58

There is actually nothing that Jajjung hates more than being summoned during the middle of a season finale. One minute he's leaned forward, watching Bez't'ial the Five Hundred Furies attempt to break up with their four member polymorphous relationship quadrilateral, the next, there is that awful stomachs-wrenching twist as he's yanked bodily across dimensions, blinking in material plane lighting and trying to maintain some sort of dignity on his four legs while he gets his bearings again.

It has been a long time, even for a demon, since Jajjung has last been summoned to the material plane, but he still hasn't forgotten how it makes all three of his stomachs want to hurl.

 Oh hey look. Something that would have happened during Fractals. How about that. Just being self-indulgent really. Tony x Loki, If and Only If verse.
