In a fight with Amora the Enchantress things go pear shaped quickly when Clint, Natasha and Steve suddenly attack Tony. He knows they are under a spell and is trying not to hurt them while the Hulk thank God is unaffected and goes after her. It ends with him badly injured and trying to hide the truth. He wants vengeance so bad he can taste it and badly wounded goes after her to protect those he loves. He only has once chance to make them understand that he still believes in them and he will not lose them not to this, not to magic. This is his family and he will keep them come what may. Great characterization and the fight scenes are awesome.

Teen of Steel, Man of Means (Clex)



Teen of Steel, Man of Means by Anne Higgins

One of the first stories I read in this fandom and still one of my favorites. I always thought that Clark was as much to blame as Luthor for Lex going bad. He is supposed to be his best friend and spends all his time lying to him and not doing it well. Here Clark gets his head out of his ass and realizes that normal is overrated and that he needs Lex in his life which means he needs the truth. Good story with believable characterization. I love Clark's line to his father.

 "I need you to rank it for me, Dad."

"Rank it?"

"I'm 15; he's 21. He's a guy. He's Lex. Which one pisses you off the most?"

Good story with a good followup story 10 years down the road. I wish there was more in this universe.


Off the Record (Loki/Tony)

Awesome story with many plot twists but then again this is Loki the God of Chaos and Lies. The relationship between Tony and Loki is believable and worrying because neither is completely honest with the other. Tony finds that Shield is not always the good guys and that sometimes the truth can become so twisted that no one is sure who the good guys are. Loki has plans within plans and Tony finds out just who will stand by him when he does what he thinks is best for all. I love Loki stories especially the ones where deep down he protects Thor because the only one that can kill his brother his him and woe betide anyone else who tries.
