Your Kiss Is On My List (2042 words) by musesfool - Carol Danvers/Steve Rogers, background Carol Danvers/Jessica Drew

Super-Hot Carol/Steve. Just what I wanted for Christmas certainly!

Being Open (1349 words) by kinky_kneazle - Carol Danvers/Steve Rogers

This is totally my headcanon for these two now. Carol/Flight and Steve/Shield OTPs

Hawkeye

A Wedding and Some Arrows (1578 words) by bendingwind - Carol Danvers/Jessica Drew

Great Kate and Clint friendship fic, with background Carol/Jess. I love Kate and Clint's friendship, it seems like they're just really good for each other.

i need to get my story straight (1115 words) by haipollai

A cute little slice of life fic, with snappy banter and a completely faily attempt at dog training.

something good waitin' down this road (2846 words) by latenightcuppa

Great found family fic. Hits all the right notes to make me squee and laugh and go awwwwww.

Five Times Two Hawkeyes Talked About Sex (and the First Time They Did It) (3584 words) by mayhap - Clint Barton/Kate Bishop, Kate Bishop/Tommy Shepherd, Clint Barton/Phil Coulson

Great, believable build-up to Clint/Kate. Clint screws up everything he could possibly screw up. But he gets it right in the end.

I'm Only Gay For Captain America (2720 words) by kinky_kneazle - Clint Barton/Kate Bishop

Excellent 5-times fic. I love how this works through Clint's various excuses to himself in a very believable way.

Young Avengers

we make midnight a maquette of the year (1598 words) by Lady_Ganesh - background Teddy Altman/Billy Kaplan

Tommy and Teddy bonding on New Years. A lovely look at the boys of the expanded Kaplan household. (I continue to maintain Billy has the BEST parents ever for taking in both his orphaned, alien boyfriend and his runaway mystical/psychic twin.)

Through the Mines (8775 words) by Traincat - Kate Bishop/Eli Bradley

Kate and Eli fall into a long-distance relationship. Really deals with the aftermath of Children's Crusade and Eli's decision in a believable manner.

Journey Into Mystery

Friendship, the Beginning/End Of (1870 words) by Lise

Leah and Loki before (and at) the end of it all. Totally made me sniffle. BFFs forever in my heart!

Molly and Tommy friendship fic! SO AWESOME. I love Molly in this.

Fantastic Four/Journey Into Mystery/Young Avengers Crossover

Strange Aeons (6758 words) by sevenofspade

Dr. Doom gets pulled into time travel shenanigans with the Future Foundation, the Young Avengers and kid!Loki and Leah. A brilliant and heartbreaking merging of the canons for Avengers: The Children's Crusade and Journey Into Mystery.


Ultimate Spider-Man

Following Weblines (7696 words) by Traincat

Miles Morales gets pulled through a portal into the 616-verse. I've wanted to see how Miles would react to the main Marvel-verse since the end of Spider-Men and this does not disappoint. Also, totally makes me want to snuggle Miles.

The Adventures of Jackpot and Zombie Girl (3830 words) by Traincat

Wonderful friendship-fic! I really believed the progression of MJ and Gwen's relationship here. And I love the idea of them coping with Peter's death by deciding to become kickass superheroes.

Calvin & Hobbes and Hobbes & Bacon

Attack Chickens, Children, and Other Hazards of Suburban Life (1361 words) by finesharp - Calvin/Susie Derkins

Calvin and Susie make the decision to have a kid, in a very Calvin and Susie kind of way.

"Worked okay so far?" (3440 words) by lalaietha -- Calvin/Susie Derkins

Sometimes Susie worries about whether her daughter's fantasy life is actually fantasy.

SO perfect. An adult perspective on that line between fantasy and reality that makes Calvin & Hobbes so great.

a brief history of western philosophy (702 words) by tashlae - Calvin/Susie Derkins

It's Susie's idea to name their daughter Bacon.

Short but delightful.
