Bucky's PTSD leaves him with some sexual dysfunction. He and Steve have to learn to cope. Aw, Bucky.

A sweet, hot snippet of undercover Clint/Natasha porn.

When Erik upsets his children, they have a habit of running away from home--and straight to Charles' school for cookies and consolation. Charles doesn't mind the visitors, but as they appear more and more frequently, he realizes that sooner or later, he and Erik are going to have to talk about what happened on the beach and what it means for their future and the future of Erik's children. this is really lovely

Steve confesses his feelings to Bucky after he sees a photoshoot of Bucky in a magazine. This is hot and sweet.

Oliver drags Felicity along to Gotham on a business trip. They meet both Bruce Wayne and the Bat and criminal hijinks ensue. The vigilante stuff works better for me than the romance here, but I enjoyed the story a lot.

Oliver asked for a Girl Friday, so Felicity's going to give him one. This is adorable.

Super hot Steve/Bucky/Natasha.

Really lovely Rule 63 Steve/Bucky.

“I’m not an engineer,” Steve said. “I’m a sock knitter. You know? Knit, purl, increase, decrease. This—this is not a sock.” He jammed the stitches down the circular needle and tossed the snarl of pewter-colored yarn onto the coffee table. “Looks okay,” Tony said. “Oh. Wait. Not okay.” “Aw, knitting, no,” Clint said. Steve runs into a problem in his knitting. Luckily, Bruce is there to bail him out. This is adorable.

Steve lets SHIELD think he and Bucky are boyfriends so they'll let him into Bucky's hospital room. He's surprised at how okay Bucky is with that. Aw boys. Adorable.

Clint & Natasha have to go undercover married - with a BABY - at Christmastime, to help rescue some kidnapped kids. Lovely and sweet without being cloying.

Steve and Bucky take a road trip. Adorable.

the song already makes me cry like a baby (the strings!) so add in all the Mako/Raleigh and Mako+Stacker feels and I sobbed through the whole thing. In a good way I mean.

Peter and Nightingale walk in on a robbery. Cute story on the theme of crime makes you stupid and also unlucky.

Steve and Bucky get trapped in a shared hallucination where they're lovers. Then they wake up and have to deal with the consequences. Aw, boys.

Five times Abbie and Ichabod visited the diner. Lovely.

Batman has a contingency plan for when people’s houses are destroyed from orbit by invading space fleets. Khaji Da downloads it into his head, a process he now only finds creepy when he thinks about it, and the gist of it is that you go to a particular hotel, the Justice League pay for your rooms for the first few nights, and then they help you find a place to rent until your house is fixed. Nowhere in the plan is what happens if you try to defraud Batman. After a moment, Jaime thinks that is because no one is stupid enough to defraud a man who could appear in your bedroom and watch you sleep, and if they are they deserve what they get. This is an ADORABLY PERFECT look at Jaime, Khaji Da, Milagro and everyone. I draw a million sparkly hearts around this story.

Natasha introduces Pepper to Clint during their night out. I love Pepper and Natasha becoming friends and this is lovely.

The scissors glint on the bathroom counter, a sharp silver that matches the spiral binding of Steve’s notebook and the smooth surface of Bucky’s arm. Natasha picks them up carefully, and Bucky finally opens his eyes, staring at their reflection in the mirror. "How short?" she asks, and Bucky only shrugs a shoulder. "Short," he says, and Natasha glances at Steve. Steve nods, waiting for Natasha to start trimming Bucky’s hair before going back to his drawing. Natasha gives Bucky a haircut while Steve sketches them. OT3 feels abound. *happy sigh*

Natasha puts together a team of lady badasses to find out who is causing some mysterious explosions. Featuring Sif, Carol, Kate, and Pepper being awesome.

Remus and Sirius live together in a grotty flat after leaving Hogwarts. Oh boys. They have no idea how short their time together will be. *sob*

“What are you doing?” Carol demanded. The Hulk narrowed his eyes at her. “Finding Spider-Woman,” he growled. Carol threw her hands up “I’m doing that already!” she said. The Hulk scowled, then set one huge hand on top of Carol’s head and, very gently, rumpled her hair. “Team up,” he said. Shocked and frozen halfway through pushing his hand off her head, Carol couldn’t really think of an argument. As far as backup went, the Hulk wasn’t exactly a bad choice. Jessica disappears. Carol and Hulk team up to find her. This is adorable.

“I’m sorry,” she says, to the cameras and eyes above her, and wipes away her tears so she can look back. “I’m sorry Peeta, and I’m sorry Prim, and I’m sorry Mister Haymitch, and I’m sorry District Twelve. I love what I know of you. And I thank you. But I’m going to win.” The mockingjay pin is between the bones that hold her shoulders to her neck. She covers it with her hand, and swears. “I’m going to win.” Thresh and Rue win the Hunger Games. Revolution follows. Stunning and heartbreaking AU. Yes, it would happen just like this.

Exactly what the title says. Katniss, Peeta, and Thresh plot to keep Rue alive. *sobs*

Bucky takes care of Steve, then and now. Aw, heart.

"Yes, this is my bakery," Remus said calmly. The younger Auror frowned at him. "Nobody makes their own bread. People buy it from a shop." "You're quite right," Remus said cheerfully, gesturing around him as he said, "I run the shop." Both Aurors looked around suspiciously, taking in the display of bread, buns, and biscuits. Remus wondered what they had expected to find. Baker!Remus. Oh heart. He and Sirius need to enjoy it while they can. *sob*

Brooding look at Team Arrow and all the ways they can stretch and fray but in the end, they still have each other. Lovely.

"The sun is rising over Cicely, and it looks like we're going to have a beautiful day. Today I can't help but appreciate the light breaking over Main Street; the way I can see the Brick emerging from the shadows of dawn. "I've always been an appreciate-the-sunrise kind of guy, but there's something a little bit special about what might be the last one I see from where I sit. This is 'Chris in the Morning' on KBHR, and I wish you a happy apocalypse." The apocalypse is coming to Cicely. Joel panics, and everyone else behaves perfectly in character as well. Reads just like an episode.

Really excellent story about Vetinari and Moist and Death and taxes.
