by semperfiona_podfic (semperfiona)

All five of the dogs were in the backyard, bounding enthusiastically through an obstacle course assembled from the kind of junk that accumulated in rich people’s attics. There were platforms made of legless chairs, tents of old tablecloths to run through, and a pile of sofa cushions the dogs took great delight in plowing into. The dogs were being directed by a one-armed man with long brown hair and a serious case of resting murderface.

(In which Clint liberates a pack of serum-enhanced dogs and ends up collecting one more stray than he bargained for.)

“Highly intelligent dinosaurs dedicated to hunting Flynn!” flynn is being chased down by scalies

Ok so I was combining the hunter dude from the movie Jumanji with the raptors from Jurassic Park into one character but you know it does end up being Flynn hunted by a scalie so you know what this fic idea is cancelled

[themculibrary]

Kate Bishop/America Chavez Masterlist

A+ For Smooching (ao3) - kinky_kneazle T, 3k

Summary: Five times Kate and America see themselves smooch, and one time they finally kiss.

All Night All Right (ao3) - MoreThanSlightly (cadignan) T, 16k

Summary: Okay. This looks bad.

Despite being young and rich and hot and awesome, Olympic gold medalist archer Kate Bishop finds herself in a bar acting like the world’s saddest, dullest cliché: Area Twentysomething Drinks Alone Because Her Ex Is Getting Married Next Weekend. But then, from across the room, she catches the eye of a girl with a wicked smile and an even better right hook. Things start to look up after that.

Now if only she could get Clint to stop humming “She wants the young American, young American, young American.”

call it luck, call it tragedy (ao3) - akaparalian, youngavengersbigbang T, 7k

Summary: Cohabitation is possibly the best thing that’s ever happened to either of them on a Monday morning.

Can't Pin Me Down (ao3) - paperclipbitch T, 3k

Summary: Maybe Kate needs to consider being less reckless with herself, given that her powers amount to being The One With The Archery And The Ideas That Are Slightly Less Bad Than The Other One With The Archery.

Clint Barton and the Howling Commandogs (ao3) - galwednesday T, 4k

Summary: (In which Clint liberates a pack of serum-enhanced dogs and ends up collecting one more stray than he bargained for.)

don't forget to tip your barista (ao3) - vivheart G, 2k

Summary: America Chavez is new to Venice Beach. Kate Bishop is the co-owner of a small coffee shop called Hawkeye's Coffee. One day, America walks into the coffee shop.

For America (ao3) - fartherfaster G, 1k

Summary: Kate Bishop comes to some startling realizations, and Clint Barton gets the hell out of Dodge.

Freeing (ao3) - Salmon_Pink E, 839

Summary: Whether America's holding her up or holding her down, Kate loves every second of it.

hey heart, on the run again (ao3) - stitchingatthecircuitboard T, 4k

Summary: The thing is, Kate kind of expected it to be a one-time thing. Well. A once-in-a-while kind of thing, because America is lovely — scratch that, America is smoking hot and lovely withered up and died around the time she decided to design her wardrobe around the stars and stripes. But America is gorgeous and funny and sarcastic and known throughout the multiverse for taking shit from no one, and she definitely has better things to be doing than dropping by Kate’s shambles of a life regularly.

How Many Pieces Do You Wish (ao3) - BeneficialAddiction T, 48k, WIP

Summary: Fifteen years ago circus-boy Clint had a fling with sexy bad-boy Phil. They're inseparable the entire summer until the day Phil reports for his enlistment, leaving only his battered leather jacket behind. Now Clint's daughter Kate is starting ninth grade at a brand new school, and the last thing she wanted was to draw the attention of the assistant principal.

How You Get The Girl (ao3) - paperclipbitch T, 3k

Summary: Diner!AU. America has never pretended she can’t be hypocritical, but she’s also a hell of a lot better at subtlety than Teddy is. Which is why nobody’s plaguing her to ask out Weirdly Graceful Trust Fund Student.

i don't wanna be your superman (ao3) - paperclipbitch T, 1k

Summary: “I can’t believe you came to ComicCon dressed as yourself,” Billy is saying for about the thirtieth time.

i just want to make a change (ao3) - subwaycars G, 24k

Summary: After everything, America is the constant Kate expected least.

oh baby, we got a good thing goin' (ao3) - questors (sieges) T, 3k

Summary: As far as first dates go, babysitting her de-aged friends isn’t exactly high on Kate’s list. But at least America is there.

so why can’t you see? (you belong with me) (ao3) - sorryforthedead G, 2k

Summary: Kate doesn’t really understand it. America is wonderful. She’s gorgeous, smart, funny, strong, she can punch and kick literal holes in the universe. She’s a fucking hero, and a great one at that, so Kate really can’t make sense of why she can’t hold onto a girlfriend.

or

Kate Bishop can’t seem to figure out why America’s girlfriends always break up with her. She’s the only one.

to equal goddesses in lovely form (ao3) - peninsulam E, 4k

Summary: "Best of three. Winner tops."

In which Kate Bishop totally wins. Sort of.

what’s my age again? (ao3) - verity T, 3k

Summary: A for effort, H-A-W-K-E-Y-E, Kate says as soon as she frees herself from her harness. They really need to come up with a real sign instead of just fingerspelling all the time. Maybe miming drawing a bow, then pointing to the eyes. Something cool. You have to get over your boner for that boomerang arrow.

“Did you just sign ‘angry penis’?” Sam says, distracted from his unresolved sexual tension with Natasha.

“Whatever,” Kate says. She flips her hair. “I’m learning.”

Who The Fuck Wants To Die Alone (ao3) - paperclipbitch T, 7k

Summary: Normal!AU. “I don’t know why I have to get involved in this anyway,” Clint huffs. “Or haven’t you told this chick that you’re working a job you don’t need and live in a magical Disney palace?”

thank you @shieldworn for the inspiration for my brain to compute that.

Dogs are a man’s best friend and also effective wingmen. Below are my Top 5 favorites:

“Follow Me Home” (M, 4k) by seapigeon

The Brooklyn SPCA has a running program for their high energy shelter dogs. Steve quickly becomes their #1 volunteer. Every time he's out with a dog, he thinks about stopping to talk to the cute guy in the park, and every time he chickens out. But today, someone else is making that decision for him. That someone is Engelbert the 80 pound boxer mix.

+ Shrunkyclunks. Bucky and Steve arrange playdates for the dogs, and dates for themselves

-☆-

“The Dog Likes Him Better...” (T, 3k) by 74days

Steve manages to find a dog walker in New York for his Husky 'Cap' only to become aware that his dog loves the new walker more than he loves Steve.

+ Modern AU. Steve’s dog loves Bucky, and maybe Steve does too

-☆-

“total eclipse of the bark” (T, 2k) by Deisderium

Steve's first day at the flower shop, he walks into the break room to find an extremely large and muscular man having a breakdown because his dog is sick. Only an asshole wouldn't try to comfort that large and muscular man.

+ Modern AU. Real men cry

-☆-

“The Twilight Bark (And Other Things Bucky Has To Deal With On A Daily Basis)” (E, 36k) by spacebuck

Steve Rogers is a bonafide superhero, followed by nearly a million people on Twitter, not that he’s all too active considering saving the world usually comes first. When he takes on a rescue dog, dog walker Bucky can’t help but leave a message in Steve’s twitter thread, never expecting the DM that comes his way.

With that one tweet, Steve and his new fuzzball Duke tip Bucky’s life upside down, but Bucky’s not sure he’d have it any other way - especially if he can do something about the shadows lurking behind Steve’s smile.

+ Shrunkyclunks. Bucky walks many, many dogs

-☆-

“New Tricks” (M, 18k) by OddityBoddity

The one where Bucky busts up a dog-fighting ring.

+ Post WS. Sometimes when you heal something else, you heal yourself

-☆-

-☆- And a freebie! -☆-

“Clint Barton and the Howling Commandogs” (T, 4k) by galwednesday

All five of the dogs were in the backyard, bounding enthusiastically through an obstacle course assembled from the kind of junk that accumulated in rich people’s attics. There were platforms made of legless chairs, tents of old tablecloths to run through, and a pile of sofa cushions the dogs took great delight in plowing into. The dogs were being directed by a one-armed man with long brown hair and a serious case of resting murderface.

"You guys," Clint hissed. "That's the Winter Soldier."

"Oh, word?" America said. She looked idly at her nails.

"You knew?"

Kate rolled her eyes. "Of course we knew. How many one-armed amnesiacs do you think are running around these days? It's fine, I shot at him a little when he first turned up to make sure he wouldn't go berserk."

"He was real polite about it," America said. "Didn't return fire or anything."

+ Post WS. Who better to look after serum-enhanced dogs than a serum-enhanced soldier?

Picking up Gretel’s leash, he tried to pull her toward the jeep, but she stood fixed, staring at the plane.

Marvel Fic Recs:

For @intezaarlily

This is a mess of a rec, but I tried to pick the ones I enjoyed the most/thought were the most interesting reads. Keep an eye out for triggers and warnings, which the authors have mostly already tagged in their works. But if you have any questions or are looking for more, let me know!

4 Minute Window by Speranza (Bucky/Steve)

"Look, if they catch me," Bucky muttered, "they're either going to kill me or they're going to put me in a box with a little window and—Steve, I can't."

a line that goes all the way by napricot (Bucky/Steve)

"About six months after he left Bucky in cryostasis in Wakanda, Steve got a text from an unidentified number: He is awake and well, and wants to see you."

Steve and Bucky reunite and reconnect, with some help from modern technology.

A Place To Put My Heartache (Across Six Christmases) by BigSciencyBrain (Steve/Loki)

Steve's still trying to find his place in this world. Accidentally saving Loki's life doesn't help. But maybe there's a place for both of them, together.

Clint Barton and the Howling Commandogs by galwednesday (Bucky/Steve, Kate/America)

All five of the dogs were in the backyard, bounding enthusiastically through an obstacle course assembled from the kind of junk that accumulated in rich people’s attics. There were platforms made of legless chairs, tents of old tablecloths to run through, and a pile of sofa cushions the dogs took great delight in plowing into.

"You guys," Clint hissed. "That's the Winter Soldier."

"He was real polite about it," America said. "Didn't return fire or anything." (In which Clint liberates a pack of serum-enhanced dogs and ends up collecting one more stray than he bargained for.)

family means no one gets left behind or forgotten by cosmicocean (Bucky/Steve)

“Why did you think I wouldn’t like you for being gay?” Steve asks gently.

“You’re Captain America.” Eli’s got his teeth clenched and is resolutely looking ahead. “You stand for truth and justice and the American way. You stand for American morals. You stand for…” he shrugs awkwardly. “Not people like me.”

Steve blows the air out of his cheeks slowly, trying to figure out how to keep the anger out of his voice so Eli doesn’t think it’s at him.

Or, Steve comes to terms with his new world, and gains some children in the process.

The Favor of the King by thingswithwings (T’Challa/Sam)

T'Challa – King T'Challa of Wakanda, the Black Panther, Guy Who Dresses Up Like a Cat to Fight Crime or Possibly for Other Reasons, Who the Fuck Knows – T'Challa corners Sam during one of their visits to check in on Bucky and says, in a mild voice that should not sound as threatening as it does, "We need to talk."

"We do, huh," Sam says, looking him up and down. He's just a king and a superhero and a genius inventor and possibly the richest man alive, looking way too fine and wearing the hell out of a tailored three-piece suit; Sam can hold his own against this guy.

How to Woo the Winter Soldier by writeonclara (Bucky/Steve)

“I think I’m ready to date again,” Steve said.

“What,” Natasha said.

“What?” Clint said, lowering his binoculars. He blinked at the dumbstruck look on the Captain’s face, then followed his gaze to where he was staring dopily at—at the Winter fucking Soldier.

“Steve, no,” Clint groaned.

Or: Steve courts the Winter Soldier.

homefront by copperbadge (Steve/Tony)

Steve Rogers is a capable leader, a kind and cheerful man, a good friend, a strong role model, and a loyal soldier. He's also teetering on the edge of suicide.

the lines, here are written by dfotw (Steve/Loki)

In a world where everyone has their soulmate's name written on their wrists, Steve Rogers has quite a lot more... and Loki, a lot less. (follows canon faithfully except for, y'know, the trope.)

lord send me a mechanic if I’m not beyond repair by suzukiblu (Sam/Bucky)

Barnes’s daemon has a name, obviously, but he only ever calls her “Sweetheart”. At least, Sam’s fairly sure no daemons named their kid that in the 1910s, but hey, what does he know, maybe it was like the kids who used to get named after weird virtues and vices back in the Puritan days; maybe she’s lucky not to be Chastity or Prudence or Bread-of-Life.

Steve never calls her Sweetheart, though.

The Many Doors of Niu Heimar by nixajane (Steve/Loki)

In the weeks before Thor's coronation, Loki almost dies, not once, but twice. (An AU in which events conspire to keep Loki from the choices he made in Thor, a war is on the horizon and the chosen battlefield is Earth, and the Avengers assemble with an extra teammate and one less villain to fight).

Maybe Home is Somewhere I’m Going by astolat (Sam/Steve)

They were about fifty miles from Atlanta when Sam stirred and yawned awake in the passenger seat. “Morning,” Steve said: the sun had come up, but the two-lane road was still pretty empty, a little morning mist hanging low over the asphalt and in the trees.

Medvezhonok by lanyon (Bucky/Steve, but mostly gen)

The Winter Soldier is on the run and no one is more surprised than he is by the fact that he is accompanied by a little boy who seems convinced that he is his father:

“What’s that, Papa?”

Papa flinches and looks at Stefan. “It’s called a Kalashnikov,” he says, in a strange voice. “You’re not to touch it, okay?”

No, Mr. Bond I Expect You to Pine by galwednesday (Bucky/Steve)

"Agent Rogers. We have to stop meeting like this." The Winter Soldier crouched in front of where Steve was slumped against the wall, hands and forearms glued to the stone behind him by some kind of sticky polymer. "Comfortable?"

"No," Steve lied. "My blood circulation has been cut off. I've lost all feeling in my hands."

"Oh, so I should probably cut you loose," the Soldier deadpanned. "It's a medical emergency. You don't want to be responsible for me losing limbs, do you?"

"Tell you what, if you lose your hands, I'll make you some new ones." He held up his metal hand, smallest finger crooked. “Pinkie promise.” Secret Agent adversaries-to-lovers AU where the Winter Soldier keeps tying Captain America to walls and sticking around to chat. Shut up, Natasha, it’s not flirting, okay? (It’s definitely flirting.)

one cloud feels lonely by thecommodore_squid (orphan_account) (Bucky/Steve)

“I’m going to take a break for a while,” Steve said quietly, not looking at T’Challa, not knowing that this was what he was gonna do until the words were out of his mouth. “I can’t be on a team right now.”

T’Challa nodded as if he understood. “Alright.”

AKA

In which Steve and Bucky both figure out how to be a person again, and it still takes them over 130 years.

Sparked Up Like a Book of Matches by Sena

(Bucky/Steve)

Steve lives in Stark Tower and doesn't have much to do when he's not going after Hydra strongholds. He attends charity events to make Pepper happy. He goes hiking with Sam. He hangs out with Clint in Bed-Stuy and watches Dog Cops. Sometimes Tony gives him super alcohol in a sippy cup. Sometimes he sees Bucky out of the corner of his eye and wonders if it's real or if he's starting to lose his mind.

Alternately, the one with terrible jokes, a foot chase through the Lower East Side, and a tiny little robot named Shitcan.

This, You Protect by owlet (Bucky/Steve)

The mission resets abruptly, from objective: kill to objective: protect

when we come home by augustbird (Bucky/Steve)

Fighting is hard. Rebuilding is harder. Post-Endgame AU.

I immediately love this doggo and trust him to be commandog in chief

Finally some REAL NEWS

He has two German shepherds Champ and Major

[fontasticcrablettes]

commandog replied to your post “Yes but in Heartless his new heart was put by someone else inside him,...”

Your new tagline tbh. “If you like making Flynn suffer, you've come to the right place!”

honestly though

[yawpyawp]

On good days, Bucky sings to Foobs. Under his breath, maybe not always on key, just a man going about his business, singing to his doggo as he washes the dishes and sorts his laundry. When he forgets to keep his voice down, Fubar joins in, yowling along to Bucky's tune. Sometimes, they duet for the fun of it because they love when Sam rolls his eyes. Just call them the Howling Commandogs.
