Why this must be read:

Because with the perhaps-final finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated program, there is a need to meet and greet the clones, brought to animated life in the program and now literary life by these fine authors. It's unknown as yet whether the program will be continued, so let's enjoy the visual of clones doing their solemn duty.

01:29 pm "Congratulations on an Excellent Kill" by igrockspock (T)
Fandom: The Avengers (movieverse)
Pairing: Natasha/Clint friendship
Length: ~1600 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] igrockspock
Author Website: AO3
Why this must be read: I'm all for shipping Natasha and Clint, but I think fics examining their friendship can often be even more interesting. This is a sort of fun twist on the extent to which our pair of master assassins understands one another, and it's written by a talented author.

In which Natasha discovers that Hallmark does not in fact make a greeting card for every occasion. )

Author's Summary : "Where did you--" and Danny waggles his eyebrows significantly, "--get a baby at two-thirty in the morning?"

I love the in character methods of dealing with a newborn. Danny is the natural father and Steve would rather be exploding stuff but he's protective and really wants to help. Even though the thought of dirty diapers seems to make him want to run for the hills. Mixed in is the trademark of humor of the show, the bantering and such. They go back and forth over name selection, whose shirt is being as swaddling, and the ever popular thought of a baby coming out "your nethers" as Danny puts it. LOL This fic made me laugh out loud in places and just go "aaawww" in others.

Chuckle-inducing Steve on the thought of birth... )
