The Helicarrier by gdgdbaby (pg-13)

Avengers fans assemble! I’m [livejournal.com profile] ellex42, and I have the helm of the Crack Helicarrier for the merry month of May.

[livejournal.com profile] laceymcbain did a great job of giving us lots of lovely Clint Barton and Phil Coulson recs last month (thanks for some wonderful reads, Lacey!), so I only have a couple of stories focusing on them, and with Iron Man 3 coming out on May 3 (in the US), you’ll probably see quite a few stories about Tony Stark. But I'll also try for some variety in characters, pairings, and ratings, including some forays into Avengers comics!verse and even some artwork. There are so many incredibly talented people in this fandom, it's hard to decide which fics to choose!

But looking through my list of rec ideas, it was easy to figure out where to start: with a story that will put a smile on your face.

Fandom: Avengers movie!verse
Pairing: None (gen)
Length: 3,230
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] gdgdbaby
Author Website: on AO3
Why this must be read: This story is set, according to [livejournal.com profile] gdgdbaby, about 6 months after the events of the Avengers film, done in snippets of mockumentary style. Frankly, it reads a lot like something you’d see in a DVD extra if Joss Whedon had his way. It’s so very easy to visualize the characters in this, and I dare you not to laugh out loud.
