Agents of SHIELD fic recs
Dec. 5th, 2013 11:28 pmI guess I haven't been reviewing episodes, because I've been writing fic instead. I like this show! I am fannish about this show! Since there was no new episode this week, let me rec some fanfic instead.
Redistribution. Short and hysterical - the team somehow become the Avengers.
Six times Melinda May spent time with a member of the Avengers Initiative. The end of this just kills me. Note, this is from mid-October, so out of continuity with more recent episodes.
Every Single Tree. In contrast, I don't get the punchline of this one at all, but I liked it as an early entry into the Ward Shipping Sweepstakes, going through why Ward isn't with anyone on the team.
One of the things I like about Agents of SHIELD fandom is that, so far at least, there isn't an OTP dominating everyone's writing. Well, that's not true - Clint/Coulson is a huge pairing in MCU fandom in general, and so Clint/Coulson stories are still dominating SHIELD fandom. But otherwise, among the non-Coulson characters, people are writing Ward/Simmons, and Fitz/Simmons, and Ward/Skye, and Simmons/Skye, etc. I have not been keeping good notes on what I've liked of the shippier stuff, but I recall this one:
if i drown tonight is Skye/Ward and gets the voices just right.
The Best Bad Ideas is Clint/Coulson, but it's Copperbadge, so really good, and has great lines for many of the SHIELD characters.
And now we must talk about porn. Sabinelagrande seems to be working on writing super-hot porn for every possible pairing, or at least many of them? Or possibly mostly the ones involving Coulson? Automatic Locks is Skye/Coulson. Big Talk is Coulson/everybody. Amateurs is Skye/Ward. Randomly Generated is Coulson/Fitz/Simmons. Saving the best for last, She Walked Like a Woman is Coulson/Clint/Lola. Yes, the car. It is HILARIOUS and excellent and a must-read if you read explicit fic in this fandom at all.
