Summary
An AU in which Steve Rogers was born into the modern day and never received the Serum, but managed to make it into SHIELD as a handpicked protege of senior field agent Abraham Erskine. Along with Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Peggy Carter, and eventually Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, Steve still tries to make a difference.
Particularly in the life of Tony Stark, who picked up what he thought was an art student in a bar, and ended up dating one of SHIELD's top agents...

Summary
While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.
Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.

Summary
The camera shows grass and part of a bench tucked beneath three willow trees twisting together. It shifts as it’s picked up, pausing momentarily on Nessa tucked into Inaya’s chest. Inaya’s singing softly in her mother tongue, fingers tracing over Nessa’s heaving spine.
Zee moves, putting herself between the other girls and the terrible scene on the playground.
Gracie’s sitting up, dwarfed by the blond man’s hands hovering around her as she wipes at her little face.
“Hey,” he says, worry clear in the hunch of his shoulders and the tightness of his tone. “Gracie? You okay? Please be okay, I don’t know how to do first-aid on tiny people.”
Three teens try to get video evidence of a woman terrorizing the neighborhood. Except, wait, isn't that Hawkeye?

Prompt via betrayedbycinnamon on tumblr (ivvic on ao3)
I wish you would write a fake dating fic where Clint or Bucky has to play lovey dovey with Nat (or someone else) for a mission, and they do a really good job at being convincingly in love, and that’s the trigger for the unpartnered party to realize how badly they wanted to be in Nat’s spot.And, well, look, his job is to look, isn’t it? So sue him, he’s looking.

Summary
“But you guys are dating. You were dating first. And Hardison never told me you broke up!” Alec knows that tone, that’s an upset Parker tone, and his heart gives a little clench. He wants to make it ok for her.
“Parker,” Alec begins, “we weren’t dating.”
“I saw you. I saw you guys in Boston, I saw you in LA. You were having dinner, just like here, and you were kissing. I saw you other times. You guys went camping together,” she accuses.

Summary
“Oh no,” Hardison groaned dramatically, throwing his hands in the air. “I’m so sorry you guys.” They’re sitting on the couch, Eliot and Parker are cleaning their knives -- Parker uses hers to mostly cut rope, Eliot’s mostly uses them to cut people -- and Hardison is sitting next to them with his laptop. It had been a pretty pleasant evening so far. Nothing seems to be immediately bleeding, or on fire, so Eliot’s reaction is maybe a little more muted that it would be if Parker said the same words. Eliot thinks about switching to high alert, but Hardison, as a rule, has no sense of proportion. He gets about this dramatic when they run out of orange soda.
“I have to host Thanksgiving for the family this year -- and no I can’t get out of it, I already checked.”
Or: Eliot cooks a turkey

Summary
She was only here for a long weekend, using this convention as an excuse to see Alice for the first time in over a year, or using Alice as an excuse to get away for a convention, or using both as a reason to finally take a vacation, because it was about damn time.
At least, that was the original plan.

Summary
Everyone has their soulwords written on their skin from birth, tracking the one person meant for them
Phil Coulson has always hated his. What kind of a maniac would say that to him anyway? He's pretty sure he hopes never to find out.
Clint Barton doesn't believe in his soulwords. He's heard them dozens of times from dozens of people. Why would he want to hear them again?
Destiny never makes things easy.
Set way before Avengers and totally not paying much attention to canon except to borrow bits I like.

Summary
Phil Coulson is an ordinary man with an ordinary job. He is a single parent with two daughters, Daisy, 17, and Maggie, 5. Every Saturday, Phil takes Maggie to story time at the local branch of the New York Public Library. When Clint Barton starts volunteering as an ASL interpreter for the program (and brings his son along with him), Maggie becomes fascinated with the language and Phil becomes fascinated with the man.
For fangirlasplosian (fangirlSevera), whose number one prompt was, “Single dads AU meeting while taking their kids to the library.” Thank you. Not only did I finally have a reason to attempt kidfic, but your prompt lit up my brain with this story, and any sequels that may follow. I hope this meets your expectations! Happy Holidays!

Summary
“Alright you lot,” the Gardener surveys his charges with a judgmental gaze, “today is the day we’ve been waiting for, that I’ve been waiting for. And I won’t have anyone sticking a leaf out of line.”
Gardener marched among the greenery like a general preparing them for battle. Not that plants understood such things.
They did understand that Gardener was anxious, nervous, and possibly, deep down where he’d never admit it, just a little bit scared.
A scared Gardener was a vengeful Gardener, even the Seedlings knew that.
------
Gardener is acting strangely and all the plants are more terrified than usual.Series

Summary
Parker had a theory, and her theory was this: it made Eliot really happy when they noticed the things he did for them. It made Eliot happy when they made sure he knew they noticed the things he did for them. And when Eliot thought they didn't notice, it made him- not unhappy, but something worse, something like he knew that was all he could expect from anyone and he'd resigned himself to it a while back. Once she'd noticed it, she couldn't stop, and the realization of how often they took Eliot for granted made her stomach twist uncomfortably.

Summary
Bucky did not know what was happening here … until Barton leaned in and knocked their temples together with all the aggressive affection of the bastard cat snuggling up to Bucky’s meanest arm. “Right, babe?”
Babe, Bucky very nearly mouthed the word to himself.
“Yyyyes,” Bucky agreed as his brain caught up to speed. “We been renovating a floor in the tower for the two of us—our place, His and His closets, home theater, dad den, the whole, er … shebang, I guess you’d call it nowadays. His place is too small and, uh, I been Steve’s roommate for, frankly, longer than is probably healthy for our friendship.” He chuckled.
Awkwardly.
Fuck.
“We’re, uh, yeah, designing and building our dream apartment,” Bucky tacked on hastily, wondering if he’d need to install a back stairway for Barton to have access to his new place in case of future unannounced home visits, or—
His thoughts temporarily derailed when Barton gently patted his butt.

Summary
Bucky wondered, sometimes, if King Alexander had not intended Bucky to stand at the throne’s right hand as the kingdom’s general, or at its left hand as chief counselor, why the king had even bothered to sire another child after his first had proven hale and of sound mind. He rather suspected that the king, too, wondered that same thing.
But as it turned out, there was a reason for the king to have sired a second child: to be given as tribute to the terrifying warlord threatening the entire kingdom.
