Bookmarker's Notes
Good outside-character POV and fill-in of a gap that often slides by -- between First Avenger and Avengers 1. Confusing ending, but I gather from comments that the epilogue skips to post-Endgame.

Bookmarker's Notes
Bucky finds himself, though he didn't want to.
Black Widow steps out to take the Captain's duffel bag.
"You must be tired after your long and exhausting search," she says to the Captain. "We should've sent you after bin Laden. He'd've showed up in your kitchen inside of a week."Revealing answer to routine instructions:
Banner looks up from the metal arm to meet Barnes's eyes. "Tell me if it hurts."
Barnes frowns. "Why?"
Banner's fingers still against the injured arm. "Because," he says, very calmly, "then I'll stop doing that and start doing something that doesn't."
Barnes doesn't have a response for that, so he says nothing. -

Plot is interesting -- loose ends still to be resolved. Sex scenes get repetitive and OOC after a while, though. Part 2 is the best.

Summary
The Avengers discover that there are fans who write explicit RPF fic about them.
Some of them are very confused. Some are proud. Some don't understand why everyone writes the pairings who aren't together but hardly anyone writes the couple who actually is together.
Much silliness ensues.

Summary
The Council wants the Hulk monitored 24/7. Fury can't tell them to go fuck themselves, but he can assign the one man the Council trusts even less than Bruce Banner.
Clint's not thrilled to get stuck on babysitting duty, and Bruce would be glad to get rid of his guard, but for now, they're both determined to make the best of a bad situation. Somehow, two guys who didn't expect to have much in common end up learning to trust each other.

I love stories about Hulk's friendship with the other Avengers, especially Clint, even though we never actually get Hulk's POV in this one.

Summary
When their attempts to recreate the super soldier serum failed, Hydra started trying to breed Captain America clones from his genetic samples. Unfortunately, the serum's effects aren't passed down genetically, so instead of an army of tiny Captain Americas, they get a bunch of tow-headed, asthmatic, allergic, immuno-compromised little Steves.
And then the Winter Soldier stumbles across Hydra's failed experiment...

Bookmarker's Notes
Another "Cheaper by the Dozen" Steve-clones story, this time with nine surviving kids. Good after-rescue exploration of Bucky's wish to be erased again -- a tear-jerker. Would be even better with more Bucky-recovery description, but that's not really what the story is supposed to be about.

Summary
The movie we never got. The team comes together and forms a family. They learn to work together, and communicate like adults! So if you were angry that there was never a movie of the crew coming together before they started fighting, you came to the right place.

This fic also lays in the foundation of the rest of the fics out past End Game; it takes place in June and July of 2015 and incorporates some current events. If I make it to 2020, we'll incorporate COVID, too.

Steve is really good at figuring out Tony's character; or rather, the author is. Some strange departures from canon, but true to the underlying personalities.

Bookmarker's Notes
Such good medical writing! Reminiscent of the best of Berton Roueche's medical mysteries: clear and easy to follow without being simplistic, and also increasingly suspenseful and involving.
Linguistics: hypercorrection of cases.
Ch. 5: The touch lingers on his own palm, an acute awareness of the connection between he and John.
Ch. 5: The nurse nods at Sherlock, then explains to both he and John that he'll brush his teeth, suction the airway, and then they'd ask Sherlock to step out for a few minutes.
Ch. 7: " but if you need me again, I'm available for you, just leave a message with whomever is on."Ch. 8: Use of 'nonplussed' to mean "unfazed" rather than "speechless, baffled."

Summary
"Remind me again why we're doing this?" Sam asked, feet up on the dash of the Quinjet.
"Because some girl made doe-eyes at Steve and asked for help and he can't say no to that," Bucky replied from the rear of the Quinjet. He hadn't been fast enough to call shotgun and he'd only just stopped sulking about it. Sam hadn't yet noticed the tiny balls of paper littering his hair.
Steve rolled his eyes. "No, because she made a good point and she had a lot of well-researched evidence to back it up."
"Well-researched evidence based on a bunch of internet news stories about weird crimes, which clearly leads to someone summoning a demon who's going to destroy the world," Bucky said. "I love you, Steve, but you're so gullible."
When a PhD student accidentally uncovers a plot to summon a demon and destroy the world, Captain America is the only one she can get to listen to her. Steve, Sam and Bucky will fly half-way around the globe to investigate, but can they get there in time to stop the ritual and save the world?
(All signs point to yes as an answer to at least one of those questions.)

Summary
Everyone knew how the story went: climb the beanstalk, brave the terrible giant, and if you were lucky and clever and quick you could come away with fortune enough to change your world. If you weren't…well, not every story had a happy ending.
Bucky's problem was that his story had gone wrong before it started. He wasn't braving the giant for a chance at fortune, he was climbing the beanstalk to save his skin—ironic, when he knew the giant was probably going to stomp him flat.
Except he didn't. Didn't stomp him flat, didn't send him back down the beanstalk, didn't act much like a terrible giant at all. He was kind in a way Bucky didn't know how to deal with because everyone knew that wasn't how the world worked. But Bucky was slowly coming to understand that at the top of a beanstalk nothing was what it seemed and that sometimes, with enough determination, what everyone knew could be changed completely.
