Trying To Communicate by @copperbadge for @saltyteethbooks for the @renegadepublishing mini book bang!
@saltyteethbooks did the typeset, and I bound it, and sent it over to them.
I'm supposed to make myself a copy too, but stuff happened and I wasn't able to bookbind for like half a month, after procrastinating the first half of the month, and I finished this copy on the last day before we were supposed to get them in the mail.
So.
I'll make my copy later.
It was fun making a sextodecimal book! It's a cute little size, and I'll probably make some more after this. This one might be a little bit of an odd size, because it's typeset for A4 paper, but I shrank it a little to print on Letter instead, and then the printer shrank it a little more because it likes to add margins.
So it's got A proportions, but is a little bit smaller.
The title is done with a new gold paint I got recently! Nice and shiny, and I only had to use one coat plus a few small touchups in spots.

Time To Build The 2023 Fandom Small Business Shopping Directory!
Every year I put up a poll asking small business owners, artists, and crafters to share what they make and where they sell it, so that our fannish (and fandom-adjacent) community can shop “local” for the holiday season, supporting their fellow creators.
If you make things to sell or run a small business where people can shop, fill out the form linked above to tell us all about it!
Above and beyond the usual sorts of things you'd give as gifts, feel free to include services you think people would wish to give as gifts (eg tarot readings), and authors should feel free to link to their book sales pages. There are also ways to indicate that you take commissions, so don't let the fact that you are commission-only stop you!
Shoppers who want to see the directory can go here to find out who’s selling what, and where.
Both shoppers and creators, please feel free to reblog this to your readerships or tag folks who might benefit.
Sometimes google polls and sheets can be very special, so if there are any access issues let me know. Also if you filled out the form but something needs correcting, feel free to get in touch via my asks or [email protected] and I can go in and fix it for you.
I'll be reblogging this a couple of times in the next few weeks so both sellers and shoppers have the best chance of seeing it. The results sheet is stable so you can also bookmark that if you know you want to shop but want to wait and see what people are adding.
Happy selling, happy shopping!

house md hilson fic rec - medium to long fics (10k+)
Other house rec lists: short fics | episode tags | postcanon | infidelity trope (all of these are mutually exclusive apart from the infidelity one) // Edit: I added the longer postcanon fics to this reclist as well because this one got the most traction!
These are all House/Wilson unless otherwise stated. Before we get into the fics, here are some of my fave authors that have written several house fics.
fourteencandles: im literally in love with them . 10/10 writing no notes. also long fics?? hello???
ictus: this author has the range! from emotional to fluff to funny. very smooth writing. all of their fics have different vibes which was fun to read. they’re all very good.
Transformatron: fics that are transcendent and porny, all featuring a d/s undertone or theme (wilson as the dom)
Namaste (livejournal / ff.net): Some short fics, some much longer ones. Mostly gen focussing on H&W friendship, with some fics on canon pairings. Interesting character studies and discerning prose.
In order of length. *faves, ***underrated faves
*Brain Damage by fourteencandles (8k) (Ok I know this isn’t over 10k but I wanted all of their fics on one post and it’s close enough so.) This was brilliant. Like a real episode of House, with Wilson as the unfortunate patient-of-the-week, with bonus House/Wilson. Characterisation was bang on, and the plot was original and engaging and had a satisfying conclusion. Love to see House taking care of Wilson.
Down to the Water + Bound for Home by blackmare (~10k) Aftermath of season 4. House and Wilson go on a road trip. Quiet and sad and fragile, with excellent writing. This fic appears to have been fairly well known in lj days but I don't think a lot of newer people know about it.
*A Smaller World by fourteencandles (10k) The thing between them works, if Wilson doesn't push for more. God I’m so soft. I have so many feelings!!! In love with this established relationship hilson, still a little precarious, but with Wilson adapting, and House willing to put in effort.
*What's Past by fourteencandles (10k) The guy who used to have Wilson's job comes back for a visit, and it turns out they have more in common than Wilson ever knew.
*Touch Therapy by nomad (10k) It's not that House needs the human contact. It's just that when you're sharing an apartment, these things happen sometimes. Light hearted and funny, canon divergence from when Wilson’s staying on House's couch in s2. This is pretty much the homosexual waters have started flowing in House's direction post. Excellent dialogue.
***not another medical drama series (10k) by captainharkness Retelling of season 1 with House and Wilson as an established relationship. Great slice of life stories! Ongoing. The first is H/W POV, the second is Cameron, and the third is Chase. My favourite is definitely the second one (someone else’s story). I adore seeing H/W through the ducklings’ eyes.
Synchronicity by copperbadge (10k) Dead patients, car wrecks, drug overdoses, journalists, Comatose Charlie, and orange chicken. Must be love.
systemic by ictus (10k) Ever since Wilson moved in, House has presented with some inexplicable symptoms. Fortunately, he has a team of talented doctors to aid him with his diagnosis. Season 2 fic! This one is funny and sweet and overall a great read.
Rush Down Darkness by Starlingthefool (10k) House MD/World War Z crossover. Told mainly through interview dialogue from house’s pov. Engaging story. House/Wilson definitely takes a backseat to the plot — there’s no grand getting together or anything. That's not to say it's not about them though, because there were still lots of good moments (good in the sense that my heart hurts). More succinctly, it has the vibes of an established relationship fic., although it isn't technically one.
Defensive Strategies by Milkshake Butterfly (~10k) (lj) In which Wilson is tired of being asked out by women when he's not ready to date again, and naturally House proposes a simple solution: pretend to be together. An enjoyable read.
******Commonplace and True by celestialskiff (11k) It would be a simple story--House and Wilson meet at a medical conference, have sex, and enjoy each other's company--but nothing is ever easy, or simple. Explores Wilson's relationship with House, with women, and with himself. House and Wilson throughout the years — with the version of canon where Wilson has cheated on every wife and girlfriend with House. When I tell you I am FROTHING!!! Pining while fucking?? The way it’s never the right time?? The greed of wanting to have your cake and eat it too? (That one’s specifically for Wilson, our beloved three-wives guy.) The vibes are immaculate. The prose is elegant verging on poetic. I’m eating this fic whole and it will be on my mind always. It is THE hilson fic for me. It is criminal that this fic has been up since 2012 and it only has 200 kudos. Go read it immediately & give the author some love.
***Declarations of Independence by Namaste (ff.net, also on livejournal) (11k) House and winter, throughout the years. I really enjoyed this. Excellent writing. Copy pasting a part of a comment by bedawyn which articulates why this fic is unique better than I can: “So far, I've seen a lot of focus in the fanfic (and the eps) on the pain and the Vicodin, but very little awareness of the practical aspects of limited mobility and the emotional impact of those even apart from the pain. So this was a very nice change.”
***Rule of Three by Transformatron (11k) (House/Wilson/Foreman) Foreman sees something he shouldn't have. And, maybe, wants something he shouldn't have, too. This was well written and super hot, with fun dialogue and descriptions that do justice to the excellent writing of the show itself. Foreman is faithfully characterised in a way that made me sympathetic. Also H/W outsider perspective as a third is such a treat to read. Lower me into my grave!!!!
*Warning Signs by out_there (12k) Excerpt: House looked to the left, staring down at the open box. Wilson knew that expression on his face: House was torn between denying it all and gleefully acknowledging his schemes. Normally, his ego won out and, like a comic super villain, he'd explain all. Wilson just needed to stay quiet and wait. This fic was fantastic. I am disgustingly fond. Superb characterisation. Light hearted and funny.
The Oncologist Trap by zulu (13k) (2007) House subtly seduces Wilson. Somehow.
The Line of Thought by tevinterimperium (13k) House and Wilson pretend to be together to play a prank on the ducklings, which is an extremely plausible scenario. From the perspective of the ducklings. Set sometime after 3x15: Half-Wit.
hail mary by ictus (13k) A post-canon fix it! In the weeks since finishing the show and reading this fic there are times I forgot that this wasn’t canon. It’s such a believable (and well-researched) alternate ending that feels like an actual episode.
Son of Mine by simoneallen (14k) Sherlock is House’s long-lost kid. Usually I’m not a fan of cross-over fics but I enjoyed this one. Established relationship on the johnlock side, getting together on the hilson side.
***hearts turn red by ictus (14k) In my head this is the counterpoint to Commonplace and True. When I found it after reading that one it really was a holy shit two fucking cakes?? moment. The delicious infidelity vibes are similar, but the vibes of the writing are pretty different -- whereas the above fic has a more quiet, subdued atmosphere, this one has more snappy prose and it’s more light-hearted with funny moments as well as emotional ones. It’s not just the infidelity theme that makes me crazy about both of them though; it’s how they play on the great tragedy of House and Wilson. In the author’s own words: In a way they do feel a little bit doomed to never quite be on the same page with each other until the very end of the series and by then it's too late. Of course, in these fics, they’re rescued earlier than the end, but the wretched vibes remain. Also, I’m obsessed with this line: By Wilson’s read, House is somehow simultaneously joking and sincere: Schrödinger’s sexual advance. That is the entire fucking show.
An Inconvenient Truth by annathaema (15k) Wilson helps out Cuddy and reveals something about himself in the process. House freaks out accordingly. Also features banana-colored babies, the men's room, and Skee-Ball.
*at the rind by ShanaStoryteller (19k) An AU where Wilson experiences all the near death moments House has in the show as a series of nightmares. Set between 1.19 and 2.05, but spoilers for the whole show. Protective Wilson!! We love to see it. I also like Wilson’s characterisation here - you can very much see how not-normal he is. We love unhealthy co-dependency.
***Esopus Creek by shaycat (24k) An eighty-year-old widower by the name of Eugene Skinner ventures out one September day in upstate New York for his usual morning activity - fly fishing. His leisurely hobby is interrupted by a bickering pair nearby in the river. That chance encounter with Greg House and James Wilson changes the course of his life. Told from the perspective of the last friend the boys make on their final road trip. This was the perfect post season 8, Wilson-still-dies fic. A sad fic but not a depressing one. It’s quiet and heartwarming, in a bittersweet way. Highly recommend. It has great use of outsider POV — I’m always a sucker for it but it worked particularly well in this case to have the angst but not be drowning in it. Also I just really liked the OC.
***Howler Tone by baffledbear (25k) The calls always happen late at night, and they're extremely sporadic, with weeks, sometimes months bridging between them. They talk on the phone otherwise, of course; about patients, or dinner plans, or carpooling. Typical stuff. But the calls that always end a certain way always start a certain way. Wilson is so repressed but so attracted to House. House is taking as much as he can get while still remaining in relative safety. Together they push a platonic relationship to the absolute limits of plausible deniability. Overall totally realistic within the canon of the show — the natural step up from the gay chicken already depicted. It’s just such a perfect scenario for them! That combined with silky smooth prose, faithful characterisation and accurate dialogue makes this fic is a definite hilson favourite and also a hilson-thesis fic.
*The Open Road by Pun (25k) A fandom classic. Road trip fic set in the earlier seasons. It's good; read it.
*He Won't Tell You That He Loves You by hellshandbasket (25k) [In which Nolan pulls at the Wilson thread, and House can't stop it all from unraveling. Repression is a hell of a drug.] Early s6. Another fandom classic that is worth its salt.
no need to worry (making up your mind) by scribespirare (25k) House makes the mistake of telling his mother he can't join her for Christmas because of his new boyfriend. Somehow, this becomes Wilson's problem. Cute and fun. I put off reading fake-dating fics because I was worried about them being OOC but this one definitely wasn’t!
***Sticks and Stones by Transformatron (25k) (WIP) House has an innovative new idea for managing his chronic pain. Wilson’s not sure he approves - but when has House ever asked for permission? This is such a great concept I am climbing the walls!!! D/s with House as the sub. The story is currently still at pre-relationship stage, with House experimenting with BDSM and Wilson being unhappy with the proceedings (for some unknown reason /s). Also the writing is nice and snappy with some great figurative language that manages to incorporate medical themes impressively well.
Fresh Feeling by justkeeptrekkin (30k) House is tricked into going on a team-building trip with his colleagues. He does far more bonding with Wilson than anyone else. Funny and well written. The team interactions are very cute.
***Tracking Time by Namaste (37k) (ff.net) A look at House and Wilson's friendship over the years and how it has changed from their meeting through the end of the first season. I don’t usually read long genfics but this one was exceptional. I like Namaste’s take on House and Wilson’s characters. And they are a very good storyteller — one thing that you don’t tend to see as much of in fanfiction is the old adage of ‘show not tell’. The writing in this fic is careful and subtle, and lets you read between the lines, making it so that no part of the 37k words is a drag to read.
*The Body Found by fourteencandles (46k) Wilson's missing. When I tell you I cried... Premium angst & hurt/comfort. Excellent dialogue with some alternating POV (House mainly, but you also get the three ducklings & Cuddy).
You Already Know How This Will End by fourteencandles (46k) What if House had gone to rehab right after/around "Merry Little Christmas"? (3.10) This fic was interesting. It’s told in a series of short vignettes with a variety of different perspectives. It’s not really a hilson fic (or a fic for any ship). It just explores the characters. I did wish for more hilson but it’s a good read (I mean, it’s fourteencandles). The one hilson scene near the end where they hire a hooker in Atlantic City lives in my head rent free. Warning that the ending is rather abrupt and I didn’t find it satisfying, but I think it works for this kind of story, in a way. Messy people and their complicated relationships, with a lot of loose ends left untied, because that’s just what life is.
***For Every Closed Door by starlingthefool (around 50k?) (lj) Overview of the chapters (14 with 4 interludes and an epilogue) is on the author’s lj (scroll down). House MD/Dead Like Me crossover. I love this fic a lot! It’s canon divergence from Season 3. House gets killed in a freak accident and becomes a reaper, remaining in the mortal world to harvest souls, able to interact with people but not be recognisable to those that know him. As the author says, this is an Afterlife!Fic and therefore a deathfic. They also said it’s not depressing — which is true, because it’s more plotty than an angstfest, and there are lots of light-hearted parts, but it is definitely heartbreaking at points. I literally cried all the way through the last chapter. Happy ending though!!! Don’t worry about the cross-over aspects. I haven’t seen Dead Like Me, and as far as I can tell, it just takes the premise of the show. I’m glad I found this fic whilst trawling 2000s livejournal because it’s really a hidden gem. Great plot, dialogue, compelling OCs — the whole package! I got so emotionally invested in the story. I think there were maybe a few parts that were a little unpolished but just keep reading. It’s really worth it.
*A Modest Proposal and Involuntary Commitment series by ignaz (98k) The one where House and Wilson get married so Wilson can’t testify against House in the Tritter arc. I have an unfortunate habit of downloading fics and then forgetting to bookmark & comment once I’m done, so I don’t have anything detailed to say about this one, but it’s a classic and a favourite of mine.
Twenty Years of Stealing My Food by hwshipper (100k) A backstory taking place over twenty years, from how House and Wilson met all the way to canon. A reimagining of their fucked up, magnetic relationship, with a straightforward writing style. They get together nearly as soon as they meet and maintain a steady open relationship whilst cheating on their various girlfriends and wives throughout the years.

Hey you, I'm here for Wolfstar raising harry recommendations 🤗
Hello!! I'm also going to tag @imsiriuslyreading because I know Lana was also looking for some recs!
This is by no means a comprehensive list, but these are some of my very favs:
Wolfstar Raising Harry
Ten Reasons (To Go To Michigan) by @greyeyedmonster-18 (I also love these two unrelated wolfstar raising harry microfics by the same author) — This is a Sirius raising Harry and meeting recently divorced Remus (who happens to be a writer) on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A must read! that's the art of getting by by sarewolf — Remus becomes Harry's guardian and they move to a muggle village in the middle of nowhere. Eventually, Sirius is freed and comes to stay with them, but can they get back what they once had? Honestly, majorly obsessed with this one, but watch out for the angst! Stealing Harry by copperbadge — In an alternate universe where Sirius Black never went to Azkaban, Harry divides his life between the Dursleys' house and Mr. Black's bookshop -- until Sirius realises what the Dursleys are doing to him, and takes him away from their care. This series is fucking amazing and actually spans several of the books!! Mr Mouse by TracingPatterns (which continues in their wolfstar raising harry series) — A lovely little piece in which a young Harry learns about grief.
Like Real People Do by third_crow (part of the coffee shop au series) — Sirius raising Harry, when he starts falling for local barista Remus Lupin. This is also a beautiful story about what it's like to live with epilepsy and I am extremely obsessed with this series. The Things I Did by Lolo_row — canon compliant, Remus gets custody of Harry and works to get Sirius out of Azkaban. A bit of angst, but tasty! the dogfather au by hollimichele — Harry was raised by his adoptive muggle family, when one day a big black dog shows up. His parents just thinks he's a stray, and Padfoot becomes the family pet (to keep an eye on Harry, and protect him from Voldemort). Eventually this morphs into Remus also coming into the picture.
Wolfstar Raising Teddy
the mayors of simpleton by @fruityindividual — Divorced wolfstar are co-parenting a very mischievious Teddy who is not about to let his dads stay divorced!! Honestly this fic is so funny, so heartfelt, so fucking lovely. It also features the most beautiful portrayal of a blind character that I ever seen. A must read! Of Memories and Milk Thievery by @mayescapade — Divorced wolfstar raising Teddy again! Wolfstar have been co-parents for years and they wont stop terrorizing/pranking one another. An Infinte Ocean by orphan_account — Single dad Remus. Remus Lupin knows two things--working and caring for his son, Teddy. When his babysitter sets up crowdfunding so Teddy can go swim with the sea turtles at the local animal rescue, Remus doesn't realise how completely their life is going to change. Especially when he meets Sirius Black, the weekend merman in the aquatic show, and someone who might convince him of love at first sight. Honestly a lovely piece, and it also features the Potter clan.
Other (raising both teddy and harry, wolfstar girldads)
Let's Play Pretend by MsAlexWP — My current obsession!! I can't tell you how many times I've read this. Single parent Remus and single parent Sirius meet at a play date and end up pretend dating so that the old women in Sirius' building (who basically stalk him) will stop trying to set him up. Neither of them can date at the moment, so what could possibly go wrong?? Ultimate comfort fic. Of Quiet Hearts And Thundering Dreams by TracingPatterns — This is single parent Sirius and single parent Remus, both having moved to a small village and meeting at Harry & Teddy's school. A Cup of Sugar by MsAlexWP — Again, they are both single parents. Harry Potter is recovering from surgery and facing the worst summer ever until a guy with the same crutches as Harry moves in across the street with his son. So lovely!! Hide-and-Seek by onehundredflamingos — Wolfstar girldads raising their adoptive daughter Cassie, who is also a werewolf. This is the story of her first transformation. It's soooo sweet! @industrations has done a bunch of wolfstar and Cassie art, which you should absolutely go and cry over!
For supplementary material, feel free to check out my Wolfstar Raising Harry, Wolfstar Raising Teddy and Wolfstar Girldads tags!

FIC REC WEEK 24 – MULTIVERSE
now that we have seen each other by Mizzy
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: G Words: 5,235 Tags: Identity Reveal, Secret Crush, Portals
Summary: Steve's crush on Iron Man seemed to him to be much more reasonable than his crush on Tony Stark. A meeting with some identical Avengers from another reality raises some important identity questions, though, and with their shattering revelations in tow, will Steve's heart survive this experience?
Reasons why I love it: Oh my god, Steve's not-so-hopeless crush on Tony is the cutest thing ever. I always love when authors explore Steve being the one who's insecure and feels that Tony is out of his league instead of the other way around, and Mizzy's version of it here is absolutely fantastic. And of course, Tony is being his most Tony self in any universe. You should definitely read this one, if you haven't already!
The Best of Intentions by Sineala
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: T Words: 2,436 Tags: Misunderstandings, Internalized Homophobia, Getting Together
Summary: Steve Rogers, Earth-1610, attempts to warn Steve Rogers, Earth-616, away from Tony Stark. Events do not proceed as planned.
Reasons why I love it: Hell yeah, 616-Steve, you tell him! I like to imagine that after this, Ults-Stony also figure their shit out, but I am more than happy with the 616 fluff at the end! It's super heart-warming and sweet, and I highly encourage you to check it out for yourself!
what it looks like (from the outside) by isozyme
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: E Words: 5,786 Tags: Porn with Feelings, Erectile Dysfunction, Internalized Homophobia
Summary: “I talked to Rogers,” Tony said. His tone was edged with wheedling — Tony was building up towards asking for something. “And now I need your opinion: what are your feelings on threesomes?” “With Rogers?” Steve asked, surprised. Steve certainly — surely — probably — didn’t approve of threesomes. Even if Tony asked for it, in his haughty, affected way, the way that said it was all a joke until you said yes, Steve would — he wouldn’t say yes. He certainly wouldn’t have thought other-him would go for it. “No, with a platypus,” Tony teased. “Yes, obviously, with Rogers.” -- Commander Rogers from Earth 616 comes to visit Ultimates Steve and Tony. They have a threesome with feelings. That’s it, that’s the fic.
Reasons why I love it: Ults-Steve struggling with his masculinity in regards to his sexuality is one of my favorite things. Combine that with 616-Steve's Tony-related trust issues and Tony's penchant to solve problems with a physical demonstration, and you get the kind of incredible fic that goes straight into my favorites. I love this one so much, and I bet you will too!
Though Your Face Is Lovely by ChibiSquirt
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: E Words: 14,569 Tags: Mutual Pining, Noir Tony, Smut
Summary: Tony Stark is an experienced adventurer by the time he's working beside Captain America and the Howling Commandos... which is why he should have known better than to pick up the artifact. Transported into another universe, he's going to have to find a way home, even if it means dealing with these "Avengers" people, some of whom seem awfully familiar...
Reasons why I love it: I love Noir Tony's radical approach to matchmaking. I'm so happy that MCU Steve and Tony figure their shit out, and that hopeful Noir ending is the cherry on top of a delicious fic sundae. Also, the smut is hot as hell, I loved it a lot. This fic is fantastic, and you should definitely read it!
Iron Men by copperbadge
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: E Words: 8,195 Tags: Threesome, Humor, Alternate Universe
Summary: When a second Tony Stark slips through from an alternate universe, Steve suddenly finds his hands very full.
Reasons why I love it: I love both of the Tonys' voices in this, they feel so true to canon, and they're hilarious to boot. Steve calling Tony on his intentions made me chuckle, and the smut itself is hot as hell. I adore this fic, and I bet you will too, so if you haven't yet, I hope you check it out!

Tiny Book Bang 2023!
So this year is Renegade Bindery's first Tiny Book Bang. Typesetters formatted typesets to be any size smaller than a quarto, and binders later bound up those books!
I made two typesets for the Bang this year: the Kaer Morhan Bookclub by Jack Ironsides, and Gilded Chain by Sroloc_Elbisivni. I am delighted by both books I received from other binders! I learned so much from seeing the bindings that other folks completed! I felt very connected to our fan community, crafting across fandoms and international borders!
But this post is mostly about the book I bound for the Bang: Toy Soldiers by Copperbadge!
@mourningmountainsbindery made a delightful octavo-sized typeset of this story, "lightly comic-book themed" as described by the typesetter. There are three books because I bound for myself, my typesetter, and I always like to tempt the author with a book if I can. Both mourningmountainsbindery and @copperbadge have received their books, so I am free to share!
I tried to sneak in as many fun things as I could. Here we have some shiny foil on the title page.
The endbands are red/white/blue for Steve and red/gold for Tony.
I was incredibly fortunate that 4th of July was right around the corner when I shopped for materials. I found very appropriate cloth for the bookcloth cover ;) And the endpapers I have had for a very long time (a decade?!), so I was definitely glad to find them a home!
Thank you mourningmountainsbindery for the lovely typeset, thank you copperbadge for a lovely story! And thank you mods for all the hard work you do in the background.

Stevetony Weekly - February 18 - Week 7
Hello, my loves, I’m home! I’m home and I read things and I’m here to share it with you. Be sure to leave your fic authors comments and kudos as you read!
~*~
Two roads diverged by RurouniHime
His eyes haven’t adjusted and it’s too dark to see Steve’s expression.
In which there is a farm, a porch at night, and two kinds of grief.
Daddy by orphan_account
Tony's brow quirked up, but his expression simultaneously went crestfallen. "What would you do to pay me back if you had the means?"
Steve suddenly envisioned himself on his knees for Tony, sucking his cock with passion.
He blushed. "Uh--I don't know, I guess-"
"No. Uh, uh, don't lie to me. You're blushing. I can see the mischief in your eyes. Come on, what would you do for Daddy to pay him back for all the nice things he bought you?"
If Steve was blushing before, he was sure his cheeks were bright red now. God, this was so embarrassing. Was he really so transparent?
Taking a shuddering breath, Steve went to his knees. He turned his head to make sure the door was still locked, then swallowed his pride. He would be swallowing something else in a second.
"God, Steve--I didn't think--Jesus. Have you done this before? You don't--you don't have to prostitute yourself for me or anything, I was just teasing. Holy Christ-"
"Tony," Steve said firmly, looking into Tony's eyes, "I want this. Would you give me that...Daddy?"
Let Loose On Me by thepretender501
It all starts innocently enough. Well, as innocent as you can get when you’re Tony Stark and you’ve got a lap full of squirming Captain America riding you like—okay, scratch that, it doesn’t start innocently at all.
Spoiled Rotten by kehinki
It doesn't take a whole lot of convincing to get Steve to call him 'daddy'.
Let Them Eat Cake by BladeoftheNebula
‘Alright Marie Antoinette, let’s talk about why people without trust funds can’t always be going around dropping hundreds of dollars on a fancy fucking cake’
Steve is a popular baking vlogger who spends his days making vintage recipes and inspiring people to bake.
Until he's sent a video of a certain tech heir disrespecting the fine art of cake making and calls him out.
Say My Name by citsiurtlanu
Steve reminds Tony that there's more to him than the war his weapons were used in.
i would always be yours by tinystark616
When Tony wakes up in the hospital after the snap, he finds out about two things: One, he's lost his right arm, and two, Steve wants to stay with him.
New Awakenings by scottxlogan
After the battle against Thanos the world faces the end of Tony Stark, but Steve Rogers can't and won't accept that fate. When Steve takes matters into his own hands by revealing a secret part of himself to save Tony, what will the future hold in store for them?
Raindrops Like Roses by Auggusst for iseult1124
When the power in their apartment goes out on a rainy day, Steve and Tony reminisce about their chance meeting a few years ago and show each other a little TLC on the couch. Who knew power outages could be so romantic and sexy?
My piece written for this year's Marvel Trumps Hate event!
The Jar by Sineala
The Avengers are ridiculously competitive people, and what starts out as a silly late-night team discussion quickly becomes a contest: their names. Not the code names -- the nicknames. Who can go the longest without using them? They pledge to spend a week not nicknaming each other, and they'll pay up every time they mess up. This hits Tony the hardest, and not just financially. Tony's got a lot of nicknames for everyone, but most of all for Steve -- and when Tony can't use the names he's already got, the names he uses reveal feelings he had no idea he had.
The New (New) Normal by copperbadge
Tony has a thing about germs. Steve understands it a lot better after seeing him sick. Though he could still use some help understanding why he's so annoyed that Rhodey's the one who got to bring Tony soup....
Initiative by affectionatehomosexual (premiumjimin) for pitchernum1
Tony’d always been told that there were two types of people in the world: people that drink with you and people that make you wanna drink.
Steve Rogers falls undeniably into the second category.
*Tony's a photographer who lets something slip during a shoot. It's a surprisingly effective catalyst for a pretty stellar relationship*
out of the cold by meidui
“No,” Steve begs again, his voice grinding in Tony’s ears. “Don’t let them, Tony!”
He’s breaking Tony’s heart, the way he’s desperately seeking an ally in him, delirious from his fever and begging to be spared from some suffering, but they have done everything else they could and none of it has made a dent in this murderous fever. There’s a reason they waited until they exhausted every single one of their other options before bringing up an ice bath: they all knew what this would do to Steve. They knew what they would be putting him through, but this is the last and only resort. It’s this or risk letting the next eight hours take his life.
Wilt Thou Exchange by twentysomething
"The first time Steve meets Toni is about a week after he wakes up."
Steve Rogers' Life Is Not A Romance Movie (He Wouldn't Get The References, Anyway) by someonelsesheart
Steve hasn't always had this ridiculous crush on Tony Stark.
(Or, the one where Steve is his polite old self and doesn't really hate Tony Stark (unfortunately), Tony is a child progidy and apparently a cab driver now, too, and high school is still high school, even when you are the son of a billionaire.)
The More Things Change by cookinguptales
Steve's not entirely sure how seduction works nowadays, but he's learned from the best.
Stop: Hammertime! by youcancallmearrow
When some asshole (*cough*Hammer*cough) puts out a hit on Tony, what are three translators, two security strategists and a Photoshop expert going to do about it?
Turns out, a whole hell of a lot.
The Corruption of Captain America by the Villain Tony Stark by ladililn
Iron Man paused. “Oh my god. You thought I was a robot.”
“No, I—” Steve felt his face flushing. “I…considered the possibility,” he admitted.
“You thought I was a robot who’s been hitting on you.”
“Is that really so crazy?” Steve felt an inexplicable need to defend himself. “In the forties, I fought a Nazi with a skull for a head.”

AmeriHawk: a Clint Barton/Steve Rogers rec list
A few of my favorite fics from an underappreciated rarepair!
Found Your Husband by sara_holmes (@captn-sara-holmes) (Teen And Up Audiences, 8,824 words, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)
Summary: Clint was never any good at strategy. He's pretty good at putting his foot in his mouth, though. Never to the extent where he ends up accidentally marrying someone he's not seen in twenty years, though.
Third Wheel or 20 Dates by cakeisnotpie (Explicit, 9,748 words, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)
Summary: Steve and Clint are the third wheels around the tower. Basketball, classic movies, plays, and late night workouts ensue. Turns out, they may have been dating the whole time.
More below the cut!
Contractually Obligated, at Least Out of Uniform by snack_size (Explicit, 57,833 words, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)
Summary: A chance encounter in the SHIELD hallway leads Clint and Steve, post-Avengers, to get to know each other better when everyone else is off having adventures. Things develop slowly, and awkwardly, and probably only thanks to one well timed comment by Tony. From there, Clint and Steve try to navigate a new reality, each other, and their various past traumas.
You were good for her by marmolita (@marmolita) (Explicit, 2,364 words, Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)
Author's Note: "This fic is a followup to quigonejinn's Beast of Burden. It may not make much sense if you haven't read that one first, so please do."
Summary: "Clint, I want--" Steve says, pulling back. Clint looks up at him, one hand on Steve's shoulder and one on the side of his ribs. Steve blinks, looks away. "I want you to hurt me."
Ghosts by AvaKelly (@intermittently-ava) (Explicit, 22,931 words, Graphic Depictions Of Violence)
My Note: This fic and the next one are the reason I ship AmeriHawk. Before I read them I hadn't even considered the ship as a possibility.
Summary: "Under the ice, I was awake." When the words settle in his head, Clint feels dizzy with comprehension. And yeah, there it is, the ripping that slices into his ribcage, sharp and painful, as if trying to erase everything that had touched his chest before. He shudders violently. "How are you sane," a whisper slips out unabated, voicing Clint's realization. "I'm not really."
Illusions by AvaKelly (@intermittently-ava) (Explicit, 26,362 words, Graphic Depictions Of Violence)
Summary: Hawkeye looks at him unblinking, unwinds his muscles with an upturn curl of a corner of his mouth that flashes a hint of teeth into the sunlight. He extends a hand, grips Steve's jaw a little too tight. "This is what kills people," he warns, like he refuses to acknowledge it as part of him. It sends a pang of hurt through Steve, because Clint can see a lot, but how can he not realize that it's Clint speaking through Hawkeye's mouth? They are not separate, but of one being, killer and conscience. That is what makes them soldiers instead of murderers.-- Alternate telling of Ghosts from Steve's perspective. Why you should read it: It has about 3 extra chapters from Ghosts of the boys in the tower. Here we dive into what reality looks like for Steve, after the years in ice. The Cat was here.
A Lifetime Of Dreaming by shatteredhourglass (@shatteredhourglass) (Explicit, 15,541 words, Graphic Depictions Of Violence)
Summary: "Clint," someone calls out, and Clint blinks. Alternatively titled 'Clint Barton And The No-Good, Shitty, Very Bad Day.'
If I Don't Wake Up Dead by copperbadge (@copperbadge) (Mature, 30,756 words)
Summary: Clint Barton -- subby, ex-carnie white trash, spy -- isn't the kind of guy Captain America goes for. Nobody informed Captain America of this.
in the day by harcourt (@haforcere) (Not Rated, 2,586 words)
Summary: For this prompt, where Steve is a man out of time, and things really were better way back when. Today, Doms control every aspect of their subs lives, more like ownership than a partnership. And when Steve wakes up, every one expects him to slot neatly into society because he comes from a time when "Doms were Doms and subs were subs," right? Also available as a podfic read by GoLBPodfics (@godoflaundrybaskets)
Chase Away the Winter's Chill by drmcbones (Teen And Up Audiences, 4,461 words)
Summary: Everybody sees Steve as the invincible Captain America, the hero who bounced back from being frozen for 70 years and went straight back to kicking ass and taking names. People forget that he's still a human being who underwent a horrific trauma. So Clint is thrown for a loop when he visits Steve's apartment and finds him in the midst of a panic attack brought on by his first winter since his near death in the arctic. Cue Clint doing whatever it takes to look after his teammate and remind him that he is not alone.
Boundless by AvaKelly (@intermittently-ava) (Teen And Up Audiences, 931 words)
Summary: Steve gets rewarded for his sacrifice with the choice of roaming the world as an invisible spirit while he's frozen and he takes it. One day, he meets a boy and makes a promise.
(my heart is) A Church of Scars by Kangofu_CB (Teen And Up Audiences, 4,384 words)
Summary: "Steve." It was a gentle correction, but implacable all the same. "It's Steve. And you never belonged to Loki because I'm pretty sure you belong to me." He reached for the buttons at his throat and began loosening them, revealing pale collarbones and smooth, hairless skin, but before the stripping could get really risque - and some distant part of Clint was deeply disappointed - Steve stopped unbuttoning the shirt and instead pulled the edges of it aside, so that his right shoulder was showing. A right shoulder that was marred by a very distinctive, starburst-shaped scar. The kind of scar an arrow left. Clint's vision narrowed to pinpricks, and he could feel himself panting in short, choppy bursts. In the aftermath of the Battle of New York, Clint finds something to hold on to.
Another First Kiss by Sineala (@sineala) (Explicit, 22,645 words)
Summary: Clint and the rest of the Avengers are alive and safe, home again after Onslaught. The team is getting back together. Life is great. And, what's more, Clint has woken up to one of his longtime fantasies, come true at last: Steve Rogers is naked in his bed and is very, very happy to see him. Everything would be perfect... if only Clint could remember anything at all about how Steve got there. Uh-oh. Okay, so he has a bit of amnesia. There's only one thing to do: wing it. The memories are bound to come back, any minute now. In the meantime, Clint can absolutely, definitely pretend that he knows what he's doing, who all these new Avengers are, and how the hell he ended up dating Captain America.

Wolfstar Fic Recs Part 2:
Fanfiction: Stealing Harry
Author: copperbadge
In a turn of events where Sirius Black never goes to Azkaban Prison, he makes the decision to ‘steal’ Harry from the Dursleys and raises him as a dogfather should with help from his ‘best friend,’ the friendly neighborhood werewolf.
This is such a brilliant read! I recommend this fanfiction 100%! We get wolfstar and everything that comes along with it. Domestic tropes, co-parenting Harry, angsting over their ex-best friend, Peter Pettigrew, who turned traitor. Snape even makes an appearance here, except his personality is not half bad, I actually like his characterization here; like a grumpy old troll who is forced to socialize with two people who canonically almost *unalived* him when they were 16. One of the many things that I really liked about this fic was that Sirius and Remus took no shit from Dumbledore. Yes, they still saw Dumbledore as a venerable and prominent wizarding authority figure but they put their foot down when it came to Harry’s safety. Sirius and Remus trusted in their own instincts instead of being blindly loyal to Dumbledore and I absolutely live for that.
This should be physically published and on the shelves of every single bookstore.
Rate: 10/10!!

My copy of The Silver Age from @mourningmountainsbindery has arrived! Shown with Dearborn for scale. :) It's really lovely -- I like the silver stamping on the cover, and it's been typeset beautifully.
I love seeing fanbinding take off in such a huge way -- I know right now fandom is dealing with a lot of issues with people repackaging and selling fanfic online, stealing fanfic to sell as original work, or uploading it to POD sites or hand-binding and selling copies without the author's permission, but ethical fanbinders are out here asserting the power of transformative works and engaging in activism via art, which I think is fantastic. Hats off to all you guys, keep up the good work.
[ID: Two images; the first shows a book, bound in black hardcover with silver lettering, reading "The Silver Age" with "Copperbadge" below as author; Dearborn the tortie is sniffing it curiously. Second image shows the interior of the book open to a random page, demonstrating the typesetting and use of section dividers. The title fonts in both images have a cool retrofuturist look to them.]

what about dumpster diving for perciver? (I ask, predictably. but it's always delightful to hear your take on things!)
off the top of my head, other than you, i'm not sure i've read much perciver so this is a really rare pair for me! interestingly enough, i think i see flintwood around more than perciver.
anyway, i really liked this one -- look at me, i'm burning up by renaissance (4k, T) - The first tentative overtures, as Percy comes to terms with the person he is on the other side of the War. cackling at the author's note, "back on my otp bullshit after forever years away" is always a green flag to me, a good sign i can settle in and i will be well fed! this checked tons of boxes i knew i had (vignettes, beautiful scene setting, the unpacking of postwar trauma and how that's Not That Easy) and a bunch i didn't know i did (penny & percy friendship! the dynamics in that oliver/percy first re-meeting!). love the author's light touch, with the humor and sweet open ending.
also enjoyed the quidditch smut in you had time by mixtapestar (13k E) and After The Game by copperbadge (2k, M), the unrequited pining in Familiar by Mireille (300, G) and the taking-the-relationship-to-the-next-step in be my stone (700, G) - got me with the tags Family Issues, (not on Percy's side), (for once). mobile vulgus by oxymoronic (5k, M) and Can't Get All the Dirt Off of Me by tryslora (200, M) were interesting takes on a dark postwar au & OCD percy respectively.
all the perciver fic gave me scorbus vibes, actually? very grounded in hogwarts, and there is a little bit of conflict -- sometimes it's internal, mostly it's external -- but you know it's going to be a happy ending because the two have each other's backs. on that note, i also really liked the growing-up-together in Hold On by gonergone (5k, G), very classic friends-to-lovers in which both of them are adorable.
thanks for the ask, this was fun!!

Okay! Here's my recs, starting with the platonic ones
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Codices: A Clear and Present Loki, 73K, by KhamanV. A post-A1 Loki joins AOS fic (which are quite rare!) It's part of a 513K series, which has sequel two series and a tie-in series, so if you like the first one, there's more. A lot more.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/1582460/chapters/3361607
Coulson's Eleven, 32K, by copperbadge. A pre-A1 AU where SHIELD has a policy of kidnapping and detaining powerful or dangerous people, and then they all break out and become the Avengers. The Loki&Coulson friendship is not a focus, but Coulson runs the team and Loki's on the team, so it's there.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/1028486/chapters/2047929
The Undercover Boogie, 10K (and its sequel The Transformation Twist, 39K) by amcw177. Set in a vaguely-defined AU, Coulson convinces Loki to work for SHIELD without actually telling SHIELD about it. The sequel is the reveal of this.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/294801
https://archiveofourown.org/works/10710348/chapters/23726283
Explanatory report, or A page of the non-existent, but none-the-less very convincing diary of Agent Blake, 3K, by dunkelgrau. The Loki&Coulson friendship is not the point of the fic, but it gets a few lines. Disclaimer: I have no idea how to describe this fic, but it's weird.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/1152814
This must be what friends are like, 2K, by cerebel. Another vaguely defined AU, Loki gets captured by SHIELD while shapeshifted into a cat. (It's tagged as ship, but it's purely platonic, so I think the author just misunderstood AO3's tagging system.)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/270746
Avengers: The Rubbish Bin Chapter 17, by GalaxyThreads. An unfinished snippet of a fic where Loki is sent to Earth as part of his sentence, and Coulson finds him. Being unfinished, it never actually gets to the friendship. You'll just have to imagine what could have been.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19024558/chapters/46698460
Redemption, 1K, by Riven214. Set in an extremely vague AU, the focus of this fic is mostly just bad things happening to everyone, featuring Loki&Coulson less as friends and more as allies. If you like angst, this is some of the only Loki&Coulson angst available.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/2138229
Now here's the ones with Loki/Coulson romance in them. I'll describe exactly how much romance is in these and how relevant that romance is to the plot. And give them a rating out of ten, with 0 being no romance and 10 being nothing but romance.
The Cellist, 14K, by Elpin. A pre-A1 AU in which Loki comes to Earth early, and tries to infiltrate SHIELD by seducing Coulson (while shapeshifted into a mortal woman,) and then accidentally catches feelings. This one's got explicit sex in it, but both scenes are pretty short and not crucial to the plot, so you can skip over them if you want. Romance Rating: 10/10, it's pretty much exclusively romance focused, and that's the entire basis of the story.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/423971
The Weatherman, 4K, by CeliaEquus. An AU where everything is the same, except the AOS cast, who are now meteorologists. The Loki/Coulson subplot is minor and one-sided, but it's there. Romance Rating: 6.5/10. It's only a small section of the fic that's not really relevant to the overall plot, but it's in most of Loki's appearances.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/4332849
Fate Has a Twisted Sense of Humour, Part Two, Chapter 5, by CeliaEquus. It's a soulmate AU, which to be honest I'm not fond of, but it's a popular trope and there's a bunch of them. Post-A1, Loki gets his soul stolen (which results in him losing his emotions) and Coulson is his soulmate, which is an awkward situation all around. Romance Rating: 3/10. A pretty small part of the story, all things considered. It's a pre-relationship fic, so you can imagine they stay platonic if you want, but them being soulmates is very relevant to the plot.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/4029418/chapters/9332460
Fate Has a Twisted Sense of Humour, Part Two, Chapter 34, by CeliaEquus. Yes, same fic, different chapter (and thus entirely different story.) Set post-A1, the AOS team (and some other, less relevant people) have to flee to Asgard, where a bunch of stuff happens, including them finding our that Coulson and Loki are soulmates, which basically nobody is happy about. Coulson/Loki is one of four featured ships in this chapter, but it gets a fair amount of focus. Romance Rating: 8.5/10. It's a soulmate AU, so it's not like their relationship develops naturally, but it's absolutely the main focus of the story. (The parts of the story that Coulson and Loki are in, anyway.)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/4029418/chapters/12646583
There's also my fics (my AO3 handle is T_5Seconds if you want to check it out) but I'd feel a bit awkward recommending my own fics. And if I was to give myself a romance rating it'd probably be a 9 or a 10, so I somewhat doubt they'd be your cup of tea.
thank you so much! when i get the time, i'll check them out!
#it shouldnt be in too long i'm sick & have been in bed all day#i regret everything now bc i slept for more than half the day so i'll be up at night#oh also i forgot to mention like i too don't like recommending my own fics it's weird as heck but i do have a fic with minor coulson & loki#it's a tesseroki focus but outta nowhere coulson is awesome#ao3 user is the same as tumblr#called astronomical love#if that's something you'd be willing to read#i don't think i tagged it bc it's a minor thing yknow but it's there & it's such a small fic that even small scenes stand out yknow#coulson & loki#fic recommendation

FIC REC WEEK 37 – ACTION / ADVENTURE
SERIES: Tiny Spy Assassin Steve by copperbadge
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Sam/Bucky Rating: E Words: 89,727 Tags: Pre-Serum Steve, Modern Setting, SHIELD
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...
Reasons why I love it: If you know copperbadge, then you'd probably agree that they're one of the best Stony authors out there. And this series is one of my favorite works of theirs. Everyone's characterizations are phenomenal, and the dialogue is witty and funny at times and deeply emotional when it needs to be. Plus, the action scenes are absolute perfection. If you don't know these fics, do yourself a favor and delve into the wonderful world of rage duckling Steve, I promise you won't regret it.
This series consists of:
Toy Soldiers
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Sam/Bucky Rating: E Words: 44,241 Tags: Identity Porn, Canon Divergence, Iron Man Movie
Summary: When Steve Rogers, five foot four and a hundred and ten pounds, met Tony Stark in a bar, he didn't expect it to lead to a relationship. Or that Tony would find out he's not an art student during a SHIELD rescue mission in Afghanistan.
Reasons why I love it: The whole set-up of how Steve and Tony meet is so good, I love it. This is one of my favorite twists of the first Ironman movie canon, everything just fits so seamlessly. Steve is an absolute delight, and Tony matches him in every aspect. It's the perfect start to an amazing series, and I really hope you check it out if you haven't yet.
Desert Knights
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Sam/Bucky Rating: T Words: 27,366 Tags: Thor's Mighty Hammer, Lying By Omission, Canon Divergence
Summary: Steve is sent to Puente Antiguo on a leadership training exercise, Tony isn't feeling too well, and aliens might be invading.
Reasons why I love it: Inserting Steve and his team into the plot of the first Thor movie is low key genius and makes it a thousand times better. I love how high tensions are the whole time, what with Tony's whole paladium issue being handled almost completely off screen and Steve constantly getting caught up in fight after fight. This fic is amazing, and you should definitely read it.
Tiny Spy Assassin Steve: The Short Stories
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Peggy/Angie Rating: T Words: 8,155 Tags: Anniversaries, Fighting Kink, Puppies
Summary: Several short stories written to prompts, set in the Tiny Spy Assassin Steve universe.
Reasons why I love it: Each and every one of these additions to the series is lovely. I especially enjoyed the one with the Nazi Chihuahua puppies and the one where Tony gets horny over watching Steve fight. Definitely check out all of these, they're wonderful!
Steve Rogers Versus The Multiverse
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Steve/Sam Rating: T Words: 5,573 Tags: Dimension-Hopping, Possible Hallucinations, Alternate Realities
Summary: Agent Steve Rogers, callsign Nomad, has been pushed through a dimensional wall. Fortunately there are a couple of Tonys to set things right...
Reasons why I love it: Getting to see this particular Steve interacting with other canon Steves and Tonys is so much fun. I love the ending in particular and how it leaves what really happened somewhat open to interpretation. This fic is great, and I hope you check it out!
Subtlety Not Our Strong Point
Pairing: Steve/Tony, Sam/Bucky Rating: T Words: 2,944 Tags: Engagement, Marriage Proposal, Brunch
Summary: Bucky is not good at proposing, but once he managed, he and Sam were going to let people find out organically. Unfortunately, Tony Stark has never done anything organically in his life.
Reasons why I love it: I've recced this fic on its own before, but you bet your ass I'm reccing it again. This proposal is the most Bucky thing ever. And Tony casually blowing Sam and Bucky's cover is the most Tony thing ever. This fic is hilarious and sweet at the same time, and if you don't know it yet, you should definitely read it!
Lifesaver
Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: G Words: 1,448 Tags: Sickfic, Crying, Cherry Lifesavers
Summary: Steve really, really hates being sick.
Reasons why I love it: Aw, this fic makes me want to bundle Steve in a mountain of blankets and feed him cherry candy all day long, the poor thing. Thankfully, Tony's got him covered. I love how stable their relationship is at this point, enough so for Steve to be truly vulnerable with Tony. It's beautiful to see. I really hope you give this series a shot, because it's one of my favorites and deserves all the love in the world!
