A fistful of recs

So the Story Goes by megyal
Avengers/Die Hard XOVER; McClane/Farrell, Barton/Coulson
So, Matt starts working for Tony Stark. Guess who he runs into? *warm smishy hugs for this fic*

The Coming Storm is Gonna Be a Crazy Ride by twistingingenue
Darcy/Clint; long; Adult
I am a sucker for Darcy/Clint, and this is a fine example of Darcy being a BAMF in a realistic way. Awesome, awesome.

Sine Metu by galerian_ash
Expendables; Gunner Jensen/Barney Ross; short
This is a perfect gem of a story. It's funny and hot and sweet and canonically compatible, explaining some details of canon so delightfully that they've now become my personal headcanon.

And some mpreg, courtesy of that thread I started on fandomsecrets:

Accidentally in Love by CMM
Trek Reboot; Kirk/Spock; looooong; Adult
Kirk gets knocked up non-sexually by Spock through the intervention of an alien god. The only problem? Spock's in love with Uhura. (Teensy bit of Uhura-bashing here; she's characterized in a way that I don't believe does justice to the character, but still an enjoyable read.)

The Shattered One by miss_annthropic
SPN; Castiel/Dean; long
Castiel becomes pregnant as the result of asexual angel reproduction. How does he handle this pregnancy and the quest to save the world from Lucifer?

Every Judas Loved His Jesus by croik
Avengers; Loki/Steve; Adult; long
This Loki is something else--beautifully characterized. He's sorry and angry and full of regret and shining with rage, and he just doesn't know how to stop himself. Even if you don't care for mpreg, I think this fic is worth a read for Loki's characterization alone.

Lorraine by Bad Manners
it's a song with my name in it that isn't about a poodle! Whoooooo! "When I find her, I'm gonna kill her--Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine!"

CinderFella by Todrick Hall
A re-imagining of Cinderella as a gay guy. With bonus Janice Dickinson!

The Adventure by greensilver
HP; Neville-centric
Makes me tear up, y'all. This is everything I want to say about how awesome Neville is. OMG, little baby Neville standing up to the Trio and all the images over the "I can't live, I can't breathe unless you do this with me part." *happy happy sob sob* And I love the conceit of the vid that what is to come is running through the Hat's mind as it makes its decision about where to sort Neville. This might be my favorite HP vid ever.

We Didn't Start the Fire by scribe and fiercynn
Pan-fandom meta vid of awesomeness. Not all fandoms of ever are represented here nor is every fan's fannish experience, but as I fangirl a lot of the source material, it really resonated with me. I also appreciate the extraordinary amount of work it must have taken to match each lyric to an image from a source text of the relevant time period.
