12	''[[http://americancaptaincomic.tumblr.com/ American Captain]]''
13	* Recommended by: @/{{Nightsky}}
14	* Status: ?
15	* Synopsis: Comic series in which Steve Rogers tries to adjust to his new life. It's not always easy. Scratch that--it's not ''ever'' easy, but Steve still has to sort through his issues--his survivor guilt, his PTSD, his alienation from all he ever knew, his mixed feelings about SHIELD--and navigate his relationships with his colleagues, alleviated only by his friends and the occasional good day. Heartbreakingly good.

20	* Recommended by: Ramber
21	* Comments: scifigrl47 is an amazing writer, the majority of which is slash but her plots are well executed, planting innocent objects around her scene so nonchalantly, you barely realized that a major turning point of the story had just passed.
22	** The major aspects of her prose that I adore is the feeling of family and unity a bunch of oddballs and outcasts get to experience. The most hated part of her writing unfortunately would have to be woobie!Tony, He's just so hurt and messed up inside I always tear up when I read ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/381185 Some Things Shouldn't Be a Chore]]'' it's part of the ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/18228 In Which Tony Stark Builds Himself Some Friends (But His Family Was Assigned by Nick Fury)]]'' series which also extends to the ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/18869 Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toasterverse]]'' series.
23	** Seriously, if you're looking for an adventure packed epic length fics filled will humour and warmth this author is it.

28	* Comments: valtyr writes fics for The Avengers from 616-universe to Ultimates to Marvel Adventures and movie-verse. They're all largely slash of the Steve/Tony variety but her writing distinguishes every iteration of Steve and Tony in the multiverse from their counterparts, so even if you didn't notice before, you'll know which universe you're reading about through her characterizations. Also, her longer, plotty fics are a joy to read. The first Avengers fic I read has been recommended below, ''Secrets of a Successful Marriage'', and everything else she has written will definitely appeal to someone.

39	* Synopsis: What if, instead of sending the defeated Loki back to Asgard, S.H.I.E.L.D. had kept him instead?

44	* Recommended by: [=LordYAM=], hubakon1368

46	* Synopsis: An alternate take on ''Age of Ultron'' by someone who wasn't impressed by the movie.
47	* Notes: Can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11281884/1/ here]]. Alternate links [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6461776 here]] and [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6461902 here]].
48	* Comments: Overall, an interesting take on the movie. Some of the elements were wonderful (they incorporated the twins' backstory, the final battle is great, and some of the ridiculous stuff like Natasha thinking she was a monster because she was sterile rather than because she killed people is changed); on the other hand Vision was removed and Ultron is reduced to basically being Thanos's minion (he even says he's "following orders".)
49	** hubakon1368: This is a definite improvement over the movie, the elements of the movie that were controversial were removed, and the new elements included in the story were great. I appreciate the author for having Betty Ross appear in the story as well as the appearances of Pepper Potts, Jane Foster, and Darcy Lewis. The reference to who the Maximoff twins' father is is great. The action scenes were well written. The climax of the story was incredible. The characters moments were genuinely touching. I love how the author really made the Avengers feel like a team. This story should have been the movie.

Yet when the mysterious artifact they've long housed, the Tesseract, is stolen by a green-eyed creature claiming to be the very Devil, the six most powerful and deadly of these supernatural beings must band together to fight what may be their most costly battle yet.
309	* Comments: Basically, an AU where the avengers are angels, Loki is the devil, and SHIELD is a church. And it is awesome. Just know that the avengers will be called by the names of angels, so: Black Widow- Raziel, Hawkeye- Uriel, Iron Man- Gabriel, Captain America- Micheal, Thor- Ramiel and the Hulk- Ezekiel.

522	* Recommended by: @/Theenmityofages1994, @/SuperTulle, Dame-Amaryllis
523	* Crossover with: ''Literature/HarryPotter''
524	** Now verging on MegaCrossover territory, with elements taken from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse (the basis), multiple continuities of Creator/MarvelComics, Creator/DCComics, ''Series/StargateSG1,'' ''Literature/GoodOmens'', and ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles''. Somehow remains remarkably accessible, if only for the author's habit of providing explanations of characters on request.
525	* Status: Complete.
526	** The sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12046648/1/Ghosts-of-the-Past Ghosts of the Past]]'', is Ongoing.
527	* Synopsis: New Mexico was not the first time Thor had been a mortal. It was only a refinement of the technique. What if James Potter had been Thor, incarnated as a memoryless newborn? On his death, Odin removed his memories as James, due to grief. In Harry's Third Year, a reformed Loki restores them. Harry now has a father, a family and a heritage that is going to change the world. Forever.
528	* Comments: It starts out as a light-hearted and somewhat sappy fic to begin with, before changing gears around chapter 11, quickly [[GrowingTheBeard growing]] into a far darker and more complex story than the premise would have you believe. The result is an epic which emphasises [[ButterflyEffect the responses to the premise and the effects those changes have]] and [[CharacterDevelopment how various characters evolve in response to the challenges presented]]. It's also equipped with a ''vast'' ChekhovsArmoury, and apparent inconsistencies can and will come back up to 74 chapters later as {{Foreshadowing}}. It's also entirely unafraid to push the boundaries of the T-rating as far as they'll go with some very dark chapters, and a growing onset of BlackAndGrayMorality, killing off multiple characters. However, there are plenty of [[BreatherEpisode Breather Episodes]] in between the serious action/plot heavy chapters, and they, along with a LemonyNarrator and an unspoken belief in heroes, prevent the fic from sliding towards GrimDark territory.
529	** It's not perfect, however - entire chapters go by without much, if anything, happening and asides are dedicated to relatively meaningless things. In other words, the author is rather in love with the sound of his own voice and doesn't have a proper beta to cut out some of the more extraneous material. It comes off as more preoccupied with CharacterDevelopment and WorldBuilding than developing the plot, at least at first (the two-shot spin-off, written around chapter 60, shows that he can be concise and to the point) - the first proper battle isn't until chapter 44. In other words, at 80 chapters and over 800,000 words (and that's just the first book...), written over a period of just under four years, this is not a fic for a light read. It is best binged over a weekend, and most likely to be enjoyed by those with patience.
530	** Furthermore, a repeated complaint is that the villains come off as omniscient and, at times, omnipotent. The WordOfGod response is to point to the fact that they lose every single open engagement they get into with the heroes and that HYDRA are deeply embedded in the highest echelons of the most powerful spy agency the world has ever seen, of course, they're practically omniscient. Not, of course, that this saves them in the end.

560	* Synopsis: Two worlds, one defined by ancient magic, the other modern science, are about to collide in the ultimate clash of civilizations when a long lost secret is found and threatens to destroy them both.
561	* Comments: Stated to be rated M with the genre "Adventure/Romance," so it may go into shipping eventually, but nothing definite so far.

565	* Recommended by: autopanda, Dame-Amaryllis
566	* Crossover with: ''Literature/HarryPotter''
567	* Status: Complete
568	* Synopsis: When Harry finally accepted the fact that he had stopped aging, ten years had passed and he knew it was time to leave.
569	* Notes: Has an approved fan-sequel, ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/709133/chapters/1310308 Falling Skies]]'' by [=LockedOwle=].
570	* Comments: Go read this. Now. It is extremely well written. One of the few complaints I have, is that Harry has the overused backstory of being the master of death, but the rest of the fic is excellent. The author also redeems Loki. Also, the author has some midquels to it and other [=HPxAvengers=] crossovers that are great. There are too many to link though.

581	* Recommended by: bookwormgal, @/{{Pthalo}}, Dame-Amaryllis
582	* Crossover with: ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''
583	* Status: Complete
584	* Synopsis: ...and John sort of joins the Avengers. While Coulson's recovering from being stabbed in the chest by a magical spear, Fury is rapidly running out of Agents willing to play babysitter for the newly founded Avengers. So he calls in Captain John Watson, late of the British Royal Army, and blogger and best friend to the infamously antisocial presumably deceased Sherlock Holmes.
585	* Comments: Set after ''The Avengers'' and ''Reichenbach Falls''. Because even a team of dysfunctional superheroes can't faze that man after being a roommate to Sherlock Holmes and John needs something to occupy his time with. And the Avengers are in desperate need of a babysitter that can deal with their level of insanity without running away.

592	* Synopsis: In which Peter is Tony's illegitimate child, and he's prepared to do anything to keep that a secret. Although, that doesn't stop him from trying to get Tony's approval. He is Peter's idol, after all.
593	* Notes: First part of the ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/38816 It's Somebody's Problem]]'' series.
594	* Comments: This fic is one of the rare gen superfamily fics out there. The author has a realistic take on the illegitimate son idea, and doesn't choose to rush things for the sake of fluff.

629	* Crossover with: ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''
630	* Status: Complete
631	* Synopsis: Tony's pretty sure it's written into cosmic law somewhere: superheroes are not supposed be ''cute''. Apparently, no one's told these two. He's okay with that.
632	* Notes: Alternate link [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7556938/chapters/17188444 here]].
633	* Comments: Kryal is a masterful writer and worldbuilder, whose works have been recommended on Website/TVTropes before. They bring that same level of mastery and thought to ''What The Cat Dragged In'', a wonderful look at how the Avengers would react to the events of ''Miraculous Ladybug''. Told from an outsider perspective, it isn't the average ''Miraculous Ladybug'' fic, and stands all the more strongly for it.
634	** Seconded. I felt that the explanations for some things went on a bit longer than I wanted, but I enjoyed the story regardless. And [[spoiler: Akuma!Tony/Peacemonger]] was handled excellently.

653	* Synopsis: After the events of The Avengers, Loki falls again, this time to Midgard--specifically, a small island called Castanet. Peace can never last long, however, and the arrival of just about everyone who's ever even mildly disliked him rather complicates matters.
654	* Comments: The idea of Loki as the player character promises fun and the author has promised appearances by the Avengers and the Warriors Three in another thread.
