* Recommended by
* A series AU drabbles about Wiccan and Hulkling and their brood and the rest of the Marvel Universe in the advent of Teddy becoming preggers. This is only a minor complaint, but as much as this troper loves this universe and the OCs Fullmetal_Cute comes up with, she still fills disappointed that there are several of her favorite characters in the current Marvel Universe that don't show up in this series. But besides the point, this is an awesome series with many [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].

* This dynamic duo team already have their names all over this page and I cannot simply find a way to stress just how amazing they are. The authors have an [[One True Pairing|OTP]] in the form of [[Captain America]]//IronMan, and though the shipping is important, their stories stand up on their own power and quality writing. These stories are frankly, well, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]]. On top of the sheer awesome of the plots and their ability to make marvel plots work, there is also the spectacular [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny]] that is woven into all their stories in the sort of way that you don't realize half the moments until you read them over again. The characters in their hands are living, breathing people and have forces of personality that shine through no matter the circumstance. The authors have an amazing grasp of characterization, as well as plot, pacing and how to make a character-driven ensemble peice work without turning into [[Four Lines, All Waiting]], and still managing not to neglect the fact that this ''is'' a superhero fandom and it deserves action sequences that are as awesome as the character plots. They also have an impressive working knowledge of Marvel Canon and aren't afraid to [[Armed with Canon|weaponize]] it if need be. On top of being absolutely fantastic when they team up, Elspethdixon and Seanchai are both excellent writers for this fandom when taken at their own merit, so I would recommend checking them out individually as well as together.
== [[Gen Fic|General Fics]] ==
''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''
'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5124106/1/Polarity Polarity]'' by Chris Myers
* Recommended by:
* ''Summary'': When a Romero-style zombie outbreak hits, three supervillains, led by a long time loser, find themselves doing whatever it takes to save themselves, and eventually, the rest of humanity.
* ''Comments'': Much [[Better Than It Sounds]]. If you liked The Shocker:Legit at all, you should love this fic as well. Tone is remarkably similar to that story, as is the Shocker-centric viewpoint. Sounds like a very stupid premise, but definitely worth the time to read. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts if you've read it.
''[http://community.livejournal.com/xmmficathon/40909.html Office Hours]'' and ''[http://tartanshell.livejournal.com/221420.html The Wisdom To Know The Difference]'' by Tartanshell
* Recommended by
* ''Summary'': AU, crossing over the ''[[Spider-Man]]'', ''[[X-Men]]'' and ''[[Daredevil]]'' movie-verses. The first story posits a friendship between Peter Parker and Hank McCoy, if Hank were a professor at Peter's school. The second, longer fic is Peter dealing with Hank's secondary mutation (into blue, fuzzy Hank), and trying to help Hank through it-- by forming a superhero self-help group.
* ''Comments'': Way better than I can convey. The voices are spot on, and it's just the sort of thing Peter would come up with, too.
''[http://gekizetsu.net/whatnot/therisk.htm Running The Risk]'' by Gekizetsu
* Recommended by
* ''Summary'': ''Avengers'' + ''Iron Man'' movieverse, well into movieverse future. Sometimes Tony is popular in all the worst ways, and the Avengers keep discovering that being his friend can be terrifying.
* ''Comments'': As the author notes, this can be read as preslash, but it definitely doesn't have to be.
''[http://www.madweasel.com/kattsaerie/MutantProblem/NYT_mutantproblem_index.html The Mutant Problem]'' By Xenokattz.
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': ''X-Men'' Movieverse: After Charles Xavier admitted to the "Black Tuesday" event of ten years ago, where he was manipulated into making a telepathic attack on all the Mutants in the world then all the baseline Humans, a Genetics Professor and freelance photagrapher by the name of [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker]] writes an online Op-Ed in the New York Times about the incident.
* ''Comments'': (added to by godborn). If you're looking for a movie-verse x-men fic, there is little to top this. The writer's attention to detail is spectacular and the characters are lovingly rendered. Beautiful, in character stuff.
** Note: this is less a story, and more a series of articles as if Peter was actually writing them- it takes a look at the individual characters, their quirks, stuff like that.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5532372/1/Deadpools_Awesome_Fanfiction Deadpool's Awesome Fanfiction]'' by Emeraldjewel
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': The merc with a mouth, in his usual awareness of the continuity, realizes that he is in a fanfiction and decides to correct some common issues with the medium.
* ''Comments'': This is [[Deadpool]] at his fan fic best. He's totally in-character, it has a [[Parody Sue]] (who gets killed, of course, this is Deadpool we're talking about), and he's hyper-aware. Twilight-bashers, go forth to the second chapter. PG-13, it has guns.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5250531/1/Devil_in_the_Details Devil in the Details]'' byy Ultiman92
* Recommended by:
* ''Synopsis'': Mephisto got more out of the deal than anyone ever suspected. The real One More Day.
* ''Comments'': For anyone still seething over the ''sheer idiocy'' that was "One More Day", which ''utterly destroys 20 years of Spider-man continuity'' (And yes, I'm still bitter about it, why do you ask?), Ultiman92 gives us a plausible reason for why Mephisto would want Peter and Mary-Jane's marriage, namely to get a truly loyal Ghost Rider. Sadly, this is only a one-shot story, but it lays the groundwork for a possible story. (Hint, hint, Marvel!) I ''highly'' recommend this to anyone looking for a bright spot in this whole mess.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5852792/1/Breaking_the_Deal Breaking the Deal]'' by NKSCF
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': Spider-Man encounters the former Dr. Strange, who tells him that the deal with Mephisto caused more damage than anyone could possible have imagined, even though Spider-Man has no memory of making such a deal.
* ''Comments'': Utterly brilliant, guys. Spider-Man, Mary Jane, and a whole lot of guest stars have to fight to restore the world to the way it's supposed to be, even though the author hints that the ending won't be too happy, as there are consequences for making deals with the devil. Although it's not finished, it's about to do so once the epilogue's released, according to the author's user page. Go and check it out! It's awesome!
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6199168/1/Legends Legends]'' by Clownwithachainsaw
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsys'': Set in the future, where Dr. Doom killed almost every hero after taking away their powers, and then erased them from everybody's memories, reducing these once great figures to nothing more than characters in comic books. However, [[Badass Grandpa|one of the surviving heroes]] decides to honor their legends and reforms the Avengers.
* ''comments'': This is epic. The author has stated that two of his inspirations were [[Batman Beyond]] and [[Kick-Ass]] if that's any indication of how [[Awesome Moments|awesome]] it is. The characters are all refreshingly different from their namesakes, the ending is heartwarming, there are twist around every corner, and the story's climax lasts for three chapters.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2752512/1/Oxygen Oxygen]'' and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2981047/1/Shades_of_Gray Shades Of Gray]'' by llnbooks
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': For Oxygen; 'When you're a Human Torch, oxygen can be your best friend or your worst enemy.' Shades of Gray is the sequel. Johnny Storm is trapped in a metal box impervious to anyone's powers by Doctor Doom until they admit defeat; however, Doctor Doom does everything with a purpose.
* ''Comments'': It is fantastic. The logic works well, Doctor Doom's [[Batman Gambit]] is well thought out, and everything is in character. It mainly contains movie elements, but is admitted to be a fusion of what the author has seen.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3463052/1/ The Cavalry]'' by Adrian Tullberg
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis:'' A short fic, but marvellous none the less, exploring an unforseen effect of Marvel's Civil War.
* ''Comments:'' To say too much gives it away, but this explores what the mutant reaction in general should have been to the SHRA. There's an offscreen [[Deus Ex Machina]] that undoes the end of ''House Of M'' so this story can work, but does anyone really care about ''that'' crap? The last few lines are chilling.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6636842/1/Legacy_of_Slaughter Legacy of Slaught]'' by MechaUltimaZero
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': A series of one-shots about the Carnage symbiote bonding to various other characters after the death of Cletus Kasady. [[Anyone Can Die|Murder Ensues]]. Currently featuring the Hulk and Mister Fantastic, with a poll on the author's profile for subsequent chapters.
* ''Comments'': This fic is dark. Very dark. Advisable that you read this around nine in the morning, with orange juice, donuts, and other feel-good devices to counteract it. You have been warned.
''[http://archiveofourown.org/series/1981 The Classicverse]'' by [http://elspethdixon.livejournal.com/ elspethdixon] and [http://seanchai.livejournal.com/ seanchai]
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'':Done by the wonderful Seanchai and Elspethdixon whose works are all over this page, this is a retelling of the glory days of the Avengers, back when it was still only Thor, Cap, Tony, Hank and Jan. It starts with Cap getting thawed from the ice, and all goes from there, condensing and redoing many original storylines, though on an admittedly quicker and more condensed timeline than in canon.
* ''Comments'': Very, very awesome, and faithful to canon though it is canon viewed through slashgoggles as [[Captain America|Cap]]/
'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4185567/1/Deeper_than_Bone Deeper Than Bone]'' by Fire Tears
* Recommended by:
* ''Summary'': Thor has already lost one shield brother. He will not lose another.
* ''Comments'': I have to recommend this for three major reasons; one because the characterization for Thor is great, two because honestly, Tony should have been exceedingly more broken at the end of Civil War than he was if we're taking his past reactions to things into account here, and three because, well, to quote the author; "I have also come to the conclusion that if Thor doesn't eventually give Tony emotional support in canon, then no one ever will again. Either that or Marvel now considers the Classic/Original Avengers' relationships to be officially null and void." It maybe pushes Tony a little far, but honestly, this is the same man who once tried to commit suicide via alcohol once because his life fell apart rather horribly.
'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6732709/1/Urge Urge] '' by '' [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2738467/Hooded_Crime Hooded Crime] ''
* Recommended by:
* ''Summary'': Evil has its own ways of hiding from plain sight, unless it decides to walk in broad daylight.
* ''Comment'': By far the most impressive and detailed one-shot that focuses on the realistic insight on the insane mind of Cletus Kasady before his transformation into an even more insane monster - Carnage. You will witness and be amazed on how the author successfully embodied the mind of the serial killer with the estimated word count of 17,550, where it shows Cletus' dominance, his intelligence, his evil nature as he tells his philosophy about humanity and the undeniable truth, everyone is evil.
* This review was made possible thanks to the reviews of '' [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1468871/HoistTheColours HoistTheColours]'' and '' [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1030662/Lorien_Urbani Lorien Urbani] ''. Thank you, ladies. Your words were truly inspirational - literally.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6955847/1/Doom_2099_The_Beckoning Doom 2099]'' by
* Recommended by:
* ''Synopsis'': Gypsy, Sorcerer, Scientist, King ... The man the 20th century vilified and called Doctor Doom has traveled to the year 2099 where the superheroes who once thwarted his plans at world conquest are no more. But his once pristine country of Latveria has been reduced to an inhospitable pool of toxic sludge by a madman wielding unearthly powers. Now Doom must renew his power from abroad in the strange new world of the future and in the realm of computer cyberspace, all while asserting his right to rule as ... DOOM 2099!
* ''Comments'': Picks up just as the Doom 2099 comic #38 ends with Latveria decimated and Doom forced to begin again. It has everything that makes Dr. Doom great. Intelligence, magic, science, arrogance, charisma, honor, and the unstoppable force of will that precludes any possibility but inevitable victory.

Iron Man is in the process of [[Distress Ball|kidnapping]] [[Foe Yay|his favorite hero for the fifth time]] and exchanging banter when the story starts, and the author seems to have done this in part to screw around with the tropes involved. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Plus, this is utterly, absolutely beyond hysterical]]. [[Foe Yay]] cranked up high enough that even [[Everyone Can See It|the rest of the Avengers can see it]], and the best bit is, [[Shipper on Deck|they're shipping it.]] There really are lines in here that are priceless, like this interaction where they're trying to lure Iron Man somewhere.
