Animal Transformation Rec List

I absolutely adore fic about the Avengers and goofy magical/pseudoscientific shenanigans, and animal transformation stories are some of my favorites.

woof by Anonymous (Gen | General Audiences | 5,085 words)

Summary: For a prompt on the avengers kinkmeme: "...something different happens when Steve gets Dr Erskine's serum plus the Vita ray treatment... Steve does get taller and stronger, but when the first full moon hits, he turns into a big friendly looking dog. Yes, he's a weredog, not a werewolf."

On a Pale Horse by @leveragehunters (Stucky | Teen And Up Audiences | 25,765 words)

Summary: Fast and fierce, the Horse Guard protect the Kingdom and its people, and they welcome anyone into their ranks-noble, commoner, or peasant-so long as they can ride a horse like they were born to it. Guard Barnes—Bucky—has come to the Kingdom's largest horse fair to find a new horse. He's supposed to choose from one of the approved horses; instead he finds himself buying a tall, skinny, angry stallion with the ridiculous name of Steve. Bucky can't leave him behind, but he's nothing like what Bucky's looking for and everything Bucky doesn't want. But Bucky's more right than even he knows because Steve's not a horse at all. He's a man under a curse, victim of a powerful sorcerer's temper and magic, and he's bound to never, by action or deed, reveal what he truly is. It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

A Noble Steed by @leveragehunters (Stucky | Teen And Up Audiences | 37,220 words | Bucky is turned into a horse)

Summary: "You say the Warhorse showed up last night," Sam said in tones of profound doubt. "Yeah," Steve replied. "The Warhorse. The Warhorse of legend. Daelland's Warhorse." "The same as the one on the back of the transit card, yes." "And he appeared in your living room?" Steve eyed the Warhorse, very large and very black and giving him a dubious look out of his strange grey eyes. "He's standing in it right now." "Uh huh," Sam said. "Hey, I'm not any happier about it than you are." * * * That was why he was in Daelland. Not so Daelland's legendary Warhorse could appear in his living room. But planned or not that's what had happened—now Steve had to figure out what to do about it.

Against All Odds by spinawren (@wrenaspun) (Stucky | Teen And Up Audiences | 5,810 words)

Summary: Steve wakes up feeling so terrible that his first thought is that the serum somehow has worn off. His second thought, when he opens his eyes to see hard grey pavement, is that maybe he’s been sent back in time. He’d definitely spent a few nights next to trash cans in seedy alleys in the 30s, and stranger things than time travel had happened in his life so far. What was one more thing to add to the list? When he manages to wrench his head downwards enough to look at himself, though, he realises pretty quickly that he’s an idiot. And that he’s a cat.

Bugfuck Crazy (In Love With You) by Sadisticsparkle (Stony | Explicit | 7,912 words)

Note: This one has some explicit Steve/bug!Tony dubcon. Whether to consider that statement to be a warning or an enticement is of course up to the reader.

Summary: It's the Avengers' first mission in a long time. Everything is familiar but awkward, but Steve is sure they'll find their groove. And then Tony is turned into a giant bug. Things get a little out of hand after that.

Felis lokius by Lise (@veliseraptor) (Gen | Teen And Up Audiences | 9,087 words)

Summary: The domestic cat formerly known as Loki.

Lovebirds, aka The One Where Cap is Turned into an Eagle and It's Contagious by Caia (Caius) (Samsteve | Teen And Up Audiences | 833 words)

Summary: See title.

On the Wing by @festiveferret (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 1,572 words | Steve and other Avengers are turned into birds)

Summary: "You have a seagull on your head."

Results May Vary by tsukinofaerii (Gen | Teen And Up Audiences | 3,045 words | Steve and Fury are turned into cats)

Summary: Alien artifacts and weapons of doom never have the effect you expect them to. "Let me get this clear. Nick Fury is stalking pen thieves in the walls of the Triskelion, and Captain America is getting belly rubs. Am I right?"

someone’s gonna pay for this by @lazulisong (Gen | General Audiences | 291 words)

Summary: Steve as a cat. Shhh, just go with it. Also available as a podfic read by sisi_rambles

Steve Rogers was a Good Man by AnonEhouse (Steve/Howard, Stony | Mature | 2,089 words)

Summary: Something went really, really wrong during the super soldier experiment. Instead of the best man he could be, he became the best... well...if it's big, reptilian and shoots flames, Howard can't think of anything else to call it, but a dragon. Steve is still a patriot under the scales. He's just got a slightly different world view, that's all. (past and future relationships hinted, but no explicit).

Turn Around Three Times and Lay Down by @ladyshadowdrake (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 20,820 words | Steve is turned into a wolf, Tony is turned into a cat)

Summary: Tony and Steve take a tumble through a portal of inky darkness. When they wake up, they're not exactly feeling like themselves.

You're the GOAT, Steve by @firelightmystic (Stony | Explicit | 17,428 words)

Summary: No one wants to address the elephant in the room. On the sidewalk, more accurately. And not an elephant, really, so much as a… A goat. Steve glances up at Tony to offer up a bit of comfort because, well, Tony looks like he really needs it, but when he opens his mouth to speak all that comes out is a startlingly loud bleat. Tony’s howl of frustration carries in the stricken aftermath.
