Fortress Of Good Fortune

It’s been five years since the debut of The Avengers, my favorite Marvel movie, and so let’s celebrate that special band of heroes with Keeping Vigil, a story in which Thor takes care of his mortal teammates, and Tales-By-The-Sea, a series of seaside stories that are full of sun, sea and sand. :)

( Last year all the Avengers had watched the show, commenting on the action. It had been a great introduction to an important piece of postwar American culture. )

My favorite genre, fairytales, has three entries this year:

Shakespeare In The Park, a slightly cracky tale of the Avengers,

The Golden Cage, a touching Bruce/Dick piece,

and

Fire And Ice, a Clark/Bruce myth of epic proportions!

( Natasha smiled as she walked along the street of the seaside town, listening to the soft click-clack of the seashell necklace that Pepper was wearing. )

March started off slow but then posting got going: four stories in three fandoms for the month. :)

Hi, luvs!

Looks like I have posting access today, so a quick Happy Valentine's Day to you all! My thoughts on the holiday are here, if you're interested. Love is love! :)

Who are the most romantic couples in your fandoms? I'd pick Steve/Diana because they are romance itself. They both fell in love with each other at first sight. Yep, it's canon! :)

Clark/Bruce because Clark is just a romantic sap, and despite himself Bruce is drawn to that. :)

Bruce/Dick because Dick has a very similar personality to Clark and can drawn Bruce in. A heart-shaped box of chocolates and a few dozen roses with a sparkling smile wouldn't hurt, eh? ;)

Clark/Dick? Hell, yeah! ;)

Could Steve/Tony from Marvel be romantic saps? Sure! Steve would love doing the old-fashioned bit. And I think Natasha/Pepper and Clint/Coulson could enjoy a good Valentine's Day. Both Pepper and Phil would plan the heck out of the holiday! :) Steve/Thor because of the grand sweep of their powers and personalities. Saps! ;)

The reveals were unveiled awhile ago for the 2013 Clint/Coulson Holiday Gift Exchange. Enjoy Christmas in January! :)

( The tree was so tall that Thor had to fly up to the top branches and decorate. Phil calmly directed his charges from the couch as the rest of the Avengers trimmed the lower branches with glittering glass ornaments and sparkling gold and silver garlands. Christmas carols played through hidden speakers courtesy of JARVIS. )

August saw only two fics posted but it's quality, my dears, quality! :)

Author’s Notes: Inspired by this prompt at avengerkink. The entire series can be found here.

( The smell of cooking seafood tickled Steve's nose as he and Tony walked down the ramp, the wooden boards creaking. There was a smattering of customers sitting at the weatherbeaten picnic tables and placing their orders at the fish and lobster shacks. A little girl pulled a can of Mountain Dew out of the vending machine tray. )

Hi, luvs! I'm taking a short break from profic and want to work on some fanfic for the rest of the week. What story should I work on later today and tomorrow? Note that the winner will not necessarily be posted next, but will be worked on the most this week. :) If you're feeling chatty, tell me why you voted as you did. Thanks! :)
