title: Anywhere But Where We Are
author: [personal profile] freneticfloetry
summary: They’ve always been in different places. Maybe one day they'll meet in the middle.
why: Because she wrote it for me as a Yuletide New Year's Resolution! (A story prompt that was taken from the Yuletide Challenge, but didn't get filled.) And it's beautifully written, comics-based (Ultimates verse), in-character, just a little bit angsty, and non-linear. In four parts, and only the first has been posted.

I don't even mind if the doesn't have a Happy-Ever-After. I'm just sitting here making high pitched dolphin noises of excitement!

EEEEEEEEEEEE!

Okay, so of course they release the [community profile] fandom_stocking five minutes after I make the post about the SGA Santa. (Or near enough!)

TITLE: Shadow Of The Morrigan
SUMMARY: Contact between a person and another person's dæmon is...intimate. It's like touching someone else's soul. There are reputedly people who've been lovers for years who've never touched the other person's dæmon, although Steve doesn't see how that's possible – if you're intimate with someone, then surely—but he's distracting himself.
CATEGORY: Steve/Maria, dæmon!AU, attraction, UST, drama

TITLE: Architecture Of Trust
SUMMARY: It starts when Steve finds Maria punching the living daylights out of a bag after a mission goes pear-shaped. It ends with them naked and sweaty, panting like there's not enough air in the room.
CATEGORY: Steve/Maria, D/s, relationship, character study through sex, angst, love

TITLE: Fine Distinctions Of SHIELD
SUMMARY: They're not normal; they're SHIELD. A friendship spanning ten years, of growth and outgrowing, of unexpected twists and turns and dark horses, and of industrial building parts.
CATEGORY: Clint&Maria, friendship, slice of life.

TITLE: Even Assassins Trip Sometimes
SUMMARY: Pepper offers Natasha an apartment and a job.
CATEGORY: Pepper&Natasha, friendship, post-movie, humour (light)

TITLE: Below Her Payscale
SUMMARY: Duty above ego. Steve can respect that.
RATING: PG
WARNINGS: None
CATEGORY: Vignette, pre-friendship?
NOTES: Began life as a snippet of a longer Steve/Maria fic, but is just interaction right now. Doesn't really have a home anywhere, but does a little bit to explain why Maria's dealing with the Avengers. For the [livejournal.com profile] avengers100 drabble Prompt #1 "Beginnings".

  1. where the river runs into your keeping: Nearly six hours later, Steve realises he’s jealous. Of a slap. Given by Maria Hill. (holding hands)

  2. Infirmity And Insanity: Probable concussion. The perfect moment. And the embarrassment of mementos. (cuddling)

  3. The Negotiator: Relationships require negotiations. Although probably not like this. (gaming / watching a movie)

  4. Unnoticed, Underestimated, Unpredictable: This is a different kind of date with a different kind of man. (on a date)

  5. Love And Other Disasters: He's kissed women before. This kiss is not like those. Maria doesn't take, but she definitely expects. And Steve discovers he likes fulfilling her expectations. (kissing)

  6. The Shirt End Of The Stick It occurs to Maria that her mentors have always encouraged her to break out a little – possibly because she needs no encouragement to stick to the rules. (wearing each others' clothes)

  7. Second Place: "So, you’re basically cosplaying cosplayers," Stark said when he heard about the mission. (cosplaying)

  8. Sugar And Spice: 'Play nice', Steve said, only half-joking. But Maria's not 'nice' and never has been. (shopping)

  9. Women Who Aren't Nice And The Men Who Love Them: "We're not nice women, you know," Peggy said. "I know, you thought I was when we met. But nice women didn't go into military intelligence back then, Steve." (hanging out with friends)

  10. What Happens In Vegas: Fury calls it "cultural acclimatisation with an eye to not levelling cities". Maria calls it "babysitting duty". (with animal ears)

  11. The More Loving One: There have been moments since that night out with Clint, Natasha and the other agents – and particularly since the night in Vegas – when Steve feels a little like Maria Hill's dirty little secret. Sleeping with a fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is perfectly acceptable, but fucking an Avenger? No, Maria wouldn't do that. (Wearing kigurumis)

  12. Some Of Us Hover While We Weep For The Other: The prince ends up with the princess - that's how it works in all the fairytales, right? He doesn't end up with the bitch - and Maria's never been anything but the bitch. (Making out)

  13. Gathered Contrasts: Steve wants to draw her like this – half-dressed, working, eating – intimate and aloof, professional and sensual, focused and casual, exquisitely beautiful and utterly businesslike – all the contrasts of Maria Hill gathered into a single pose. (Eating ice cream)

  14. Genderswapped

  15. In a different clothing style

  16. Doing morning rituals

  17. Spooning

  18. Doing something together

  19. In formal wear

  20. Dancing

  21. Cooking / baking

  22. In battle, side by side

  23. Arguing

  24. Making up afterwards

  25. Gazing into each other's eyes

  26. Getting married

  27. On one of their birthdays

  28. Doing something ridiculous

  29. Doing something sweet

  30. Doing something hot

As a general rule, they're probably not going to be romantic. And there's going to be at least one angsty one in there.

FANDOM: Avengers
TITLE: Assembly, Care, & Feeding of a Queen's Court
RATING: R
CHARACTERS: Maria, Nick, Natasha, Clint, Phil, Jane, Rhodey, Tony, Pepper, Thor, Bruce, Darcy, Steve.
WORD COUNT: 36,180
WARNINGS: (highlight to see) There are two scenes involving unwanted sexual advances, both of which are averted.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, I'm just having fun with them.
NOTES: Holy cow, it's done! Three months from inception to completion, and it's been a mad ride all the way. *hugs* I hope you enjoy it!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: I have far too many people to thank for working with me on this and if I don't recall you, I'm so very sorry!

Firstly, to [livejournal.com profile] booklover81, [livejournal.com profile] mad_maudlin, [livejournal.com profile] grav_ity, [livejournal.com profile] mari4212, and [livejournal.com profile] wojelah who encouraged me when the idea of a Black Jewels fusion with Avengers first popped into my head. Then to the people who beta'd midway through the story – specifically [livejournal.com profile] allisnow, [livejournal.com profile] lar_laughs, and [livejournal.com profile] spoke. Then to all the people who encouraged me to keep writing. And then [livejournal.com profile] lizbet0 did an amazing job of going over the story with a fine-toothed comb and poking the sticky bits of it into shape so they were a little less oozy.

I have no words to adequately describe my joy in the artwork [livejournal.com profile] neptune47 and [livejournal.com profile] hiddencait made for this story - thanks so much to both of you!

Finally, I hope you enjoy the story, and there may be a sequel if I can find the time and energy to write it. Thank you!

The Hydra came out of nowhere. They moved through the Territory of SHIELD, killing the Queens of the Blood - the heart of the land - and destroying their courts. For twenty-five years, the land has lain locked in a cold, dark winter, waiting for a Queen to rise up and bring them into day. But when Warlord Prince Nick Fury answers the call of a trusted friend, he discovers a young Queen living alone in the forest, spirited and unbroken, surviving by her wits.

Maria Hill was brought up in a Queen's court, and learned the laws and protocols of the Blood at an early age. But she's been living solitary for the last three years and she likes it - she doesn't want a court, or to rule. She may not have a choice.

The Hydra are making their final push across the land, and if Maria cannot draw a strong court around her to fight them, none of them may survive the onslaught.

Hopefully there'll be more fic in the next few days now that my brain is freed from the [livejournal.com profile] marvel_bang story...

FANDOM: Avengers
TITLE: Every Day, Every Day Of The Year
SUMMARY: Tony's brilliant ideas involving photoshoots, threesomes, Betty Ross, shirtlessness, and the moral decay of society through merchandising.
RATING: PG-13 for sexual innuendo liek whoa.
CATEGORY: Tony/Pepper, Tony/Pepper/Bruce, Tony/Bruce, Bruce/Betty Ross, Jane/Thor, Maria/Steve, Clint/Natasha, Maria/Tony, Darcy/Steve, Tony/Maria/Steve, Pepper/Tony/Maria, ensemble, humour, silliness, pranks, teasing, hijinks ensue, innuendo, Tony's brilliant idea, Avengers pinup calendar, my brain does this, hilarity ensues, herding cats...uh...Avengers, Pepper isn't being paid enough, Maria isn't being paid enough, cake or death, Iron Man panties, Clint as cupid, Life Model Decoys, America Needs No Shirt.
WORD COUNT: ~3800
WARNINGS: (highlight to see) None that I can think of.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: I'd been writing this for nearly a month, and then the [livejournal.com profile] marvel_bang just took over my writing, and I couldn't think enough to finish this. Once the story of doom was out of the way, it was possible to get this in! Huzzah! Anyway, the summary for this was nearly "Tony comes on to nearly everyone in Avengers Tower. It's just what he does" only Tony actually doesn't come on to everyone enough to make it really accurate. This is certainly not my usual kind of fic, but it was kind of fun to write all the same!

SUMMARY: Everything hurts.
CATEGORY: Drabble, Fluff, Maria Hill, Steve Rogers
RATING: G

NOTES: Leftover from the last drabble run. Doesn't really have a prompt. Also: I'm not sure if I'm crossposting anymore, so I may have to post this twice.

FANDOM: Avengers
TITLE: Madness Of A Glorious Kind
SUMMARY: He looks at her from the container she's dumped in front of him – mee goreng, home-made. No masks now, just the pained bewilderment of a woman who doesn't get it – perhaps because no-one ever got her.
CATEGORY: Friendship, Romance, Steve Rogers/Maria Hill, Natasha Romanoff, Bucky Barnes, and the non-literal ghost of Phil Coulson.
RATING: PG
WARNINGS: (highlight to see) References Coulson's death.
NOTES: Started for the [livejournal.com profile] avengers100 challenge #21 - Masks, but it got too long. 6 drabbles, each exactly 100 words, but the limit at the comm is 400, alas.

TITLE: The Little Things
SUMMARY: Nothing can replace what Steve's lost.
CATEGORY: Character Study, Angst, Drabble-related, Steve Rogers, Maria Hill.
RATING: G
WARNINGS: None
NOTES: A quiet morning at work and a mental gearswitch for a bit. I'd still like to read someone else's Steve/Maria fic, though. For the [livejournal.com profile] avengers100 challenge #20 - win/lose. It's actually 4 drabbles that link together to make a full story, and I'm not sure if that's allowed, but here's hoping.

"They told me we won the war; but they never told me what we lost."

TITLE: A Woman Of Edges (1/2)
SUMMARY: "I'm beginning to think you're the most terrifying woman I've met." Learning to like, live with, and love Maria Hill.
RATING: G
CATEGORY: Action, Drama, Friendship, Developing Romance, Women Being Awesome, Non-Romantic Romance.
WORD COUNT: ~12,700
WARNINGS: (highlight to see) None
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, making no money, etc.
NOTES: This started off as a Five Times fic, then took a sharp right into Stuck In The Middle Of Nowhere With Each Other before trying to head for Undercover Lovers. It nearly became an Avengers Try To Give Steve Dating Advice With Expected Results but managed to avoid that, and now I have no idea What Kind Of Story It Is.

Thanks so much to [livejournal.com profile] chiroho and [personal profile] infinimato for the beta!
