and I haven't watched the movie yet

[simplyn2deep]

last night I took my first trip into the Avengers fic world by reading shanachie_quill's Assassin Baby series (and on AO3 too). I found all 8 stories to be very cute.

I know there are quite a few Avengers fans on my flist, so I'm hoping you guys can point me in the direction of some good fic to dip into. I do plan on seeing the movie, I just don't know if it'll be before or after I get the DVD (sometime before the end of the year)...

in the mean time, I've got laundry to wash.

What kind of fic are you looking for? I tend to ship Darcy/Loki, but I'm wierd.

I don't know about any of the ships as I haven't watched the movie, so I'll read anything really.

Movie will be out in a little over a month. I'm totally excited about it. The Avengers is my new fandom! Yay!

Oh cool! Amazon is still saying the release date is unknown so that's why I said I'd be able to see it sometime before the end of the year

Should be September 25th.

whoo, lots of excellent fic. I haven't seen the movie (or any of the related stuff) but I've somehow fallen into Clint Barton(Hawkeye)/Phil Coulson shipping, and there's a whole lot of good stuff out there for that.

A tumblr with some great recs for that ship is: fuckyeahclintcoulson.tumblr.com

A really popular series that's more general and not as particularly Clint/Coulson shippy -- and is a LOT of fun -- is scifigrl47's Toasterverse:
Phil Coulson's Case Files of the Toasterverse
(or anything by her)

Fic recs on LJ's Crack Van (will have a variety of ships):

A fandom overview (info about the movie and the fandom as a whole, with a list of Avengers-movie-related comms and other sites:

I should warn you though -- most of the fic I've read has had tons of major spoilers for the movie, and the tumblr mentioned above does too, as does the Crack Van fandom overview.

thanks for all the information! I don't mind spoilers at all.
