Hi! I'll be reccing comics this month. I'm fairly new to comics fandoms but I am quickly making up time. I'm a fan of both DC and Marvel but most of my recs will likely be in the Avengers movieverse because it is the newest and shiniest.

Fandom: MARVEL COMICS (AVENGERS MOVIEVERSE)
Pairing: Steve/Darcy

Why this must be read:

It is a common assumption that in the Avengers movieverse Captain America is a virgin. This fic is a very fun look at fan-favorite Darcy showing him a thing or two. The author's summary says it all:

In which Darcy Lewis punches Captain America's v-card. Yeah, she can't believe it either.

As a pretty solid Steve/Tony shipper, I didn't expect to like this fic as much as I did, but it was funny and sweet and so beautifully in character. The thing I liked the best, though, was that neither Cap nor Darcy were looking for something serious in this fic. They were both just finding a moment with each other.

An Excerpt:

There's a small tattoo of a nautilus shell on her shoulder, the center of it circling the jut of her scapula. He reaches out, runs his fingers over the spiraling lines. "The army warned us about fraternizing with tattooed ladies."

She throws a laughing glance back over her shoulder. "They just didn't want you running off with any sailors."

"I don't think there was any danger of that."

"No?" She turns back to him, grinning. "Not even if they looked like Cary Grant?"

He laughs. "Well, maybe if they looked like Cary Grant. But none of them ever did."
