Avengers Tower Ladies Film Night by EssayOfThoughts for DefinitelyNotScott
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe
08 Feb 2021
Tags
Summary
Ladies Film Night had begun as follows: after the Chitauri attack and Tony’s decision to refurbish the tower (“Refurbish,” Jane had scoffed. “It’s barely a decade old!”) most of the Avengers had stayed there at least a little. Fury’s second-in-command, Maria Hill, had been in and out almost daily and when Thor had returned to Earth after seeing his brother imprisoned on Asgard he’d asked if he could bring Jane by while he was staying with them.
Bit by bit they'd all gotten to know each other and honestly, sometimes what they wanted was to kick their feet up and watch something fun.

Summary
She’s kind so he tries to find what dregs of kindness he has left. He can do courtesy - courtesy is what got him hired after all, his ability to cling to procedure if nothing else - but courtesy isn’t kindness and Vex-
Vex offers him kindness, he thinks because she thinks, somehow, that he deserves it.
He’ll give her the same because he knows that she does.

Summary
A series of Oneshots about the MCU Maximoffs varying from canon to canon-twisty to outright AU. All focus on the Maximoff twins, and on their relationship, interactions, complexities etc.
As this is a collection of oneshots this doesn't contain any of my multi-chapter fics: The Cradle of Life, Like Home, And when the stars threw down their spears, the whole Memento Mori series, a blank slate or For Fear and For Vengeance. I do have multiple ideas for fics for the Maximoff twins, so this will probably be updated intermittently forever. Keep an eye out!

There's something so wonderfully simple and direct about this fic and the character's voices are perfectly captured. A really lovely small snippet of a character study.

Summary
In one moment, James T. Kirk is the acting captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, on his way home to Earth after stopping the Narada. In the next moment, without explanation, James T. Kirk is an Academy cadet on academic probation again, barely a day before Nero will destroy Vulcan.
He dares himself to do better. And with a planet on the line and no proof but his own memories, he knows that "better" means he'll need some help.

Wonderful murder mystery funtimes! Plus the Snermione is minor enough I can largely ignore it and I'm able to really deeply enjoy the mystery, the general character interplay and the MURDER AT LAST OF BLOODY [REDACTED].
