Fandom: MARVEL COMICS (Avengers)
Pairing: Tony Stark/Steve Rogers
Length: 4857 words
Author on LJ: wired_lizard
Author Website: The Letterblade Library
Why this must be read:

Because there's a scene, where a naked Steve is riding armored!Tony piggyback down the corridors of a spaceship and shooting down Skrulls, that just gets more awesome every time I read it. The mental image, folks.

Well, okay, also because it's an incredibly cathartic fix-it!fic for the Civil War arc (you know the bit. Or if you don't, go read the comicsverse section of the Marvel overview - you'll need it) - the characterization is fantastic (especially the Tony-voice), the writing is smooth, and the fix is plausible (you know, considering). It's also the first fic I ever read in the Avengers fandom and thus can totally be blamed for my current obsession adoration.

The term prison lab applies, another portion of his mind notices, not just because it's Skrulls and that's pretty much their default, but because there's a tall, pale body on a worktable, sealed under glass. Snow White, bleeps one corner of his associative matrix. Identity confirmed, bleeps another. Identity confirmed. Identity confirmed.

Thank you! Both are working for me, but I suspect it might have to do with the magical art of 'cookies.' Or something. I'll switch over to the other version, make it easier for everybody.

This is one of my favorite comics fics. I'm glad you rec'd it!

The fact that this fic is not canon is one of the great sorrows of my life, and not just for the Bring Back Cap/fix Secret Invasion aspects.

Every comics canon could use scenes where large groups of superheroes fight aliens while naked.

also, you totally stole one of my future-recs *grins*

[grins at you] I *had* to rec it - aside from being awesomtastic, I was scrolling through my saved links going 'elspethdixon, crimsonquills, elspethdixon/seanchai, crimsonquills...' and was very grateful to remember this one.

Don't forget atomicskull and simmysim's pr0n, or jazzypom's stuff *grins*

Oh, no worries on that front. I've got four Avenger recs, total, and hope to give a decent sampling.
