Macavity (Gibbs/Dinozzo, Clint/Phil)



Macavity by Lady Ra
http://archiveofourown.org/series/49315

Great story with an unusual premise, Tony at the age of 40 comes into a strange inheritance. He can communicate with animals once bitten by a representative of that species. Just call him Dr. Doolittle. The twist is that Lady Ra shows the down side of communicating with animals and the dark side of his gift. If it was not for Gibbs and his team Tony would have lost his mind and joined other family members in madness or death. The reactions of the intelligence community is predictable, the chance to have someone who could send in everyday common animals to learn secrets of everyone is worth anything even kidnapping. The scenes where they come after Tony are hilarious and exciting. Clint's reaction to the animals is funny while Coulson just takes it in stride. The second story is a little darker and shows once again how their are two sides to every gift.

Building the Future (Clark/Lex)

Great story one that combines some of my favorite characters. In this one Clark is his usual not paying attention to who is watching and this time he will pay the price. Two characters are killed right off the bat it is amazing what one change can do. With Clark unaware of what is happening, Lana and Luthor are killed in the tornado setting off a series of events. Clark is kidnapped and will auctioned off by a group that specializes in unusual and highly illegal auctions for the very rich.  Luckily Tony Dinozzo is visiting his cousin Martha and agrees that Lex is the best chance that Clark has of getting free. They all work together adding Jethro who comes looking for Tony and Bruce Wayne. Jonathon Kent is an ass before, during and after the kidnapping not wanting to accept responsibility for his own actions. I have always felt that 1/2 the reason Lex goes bad is the behavior of Jonathon Kent. Great story, believable characters and some kickass action scenes. Lex goes above and beyond to prove his loyalty to Clark, a loyalty that Clark returns. Tony finds a place to belong and cause to believe in, Jethro finds that he needs more then work in order to live and Martha finds that she is ready to step up and believe in others to help Clark become all that he can be.

The Rise of the Drackens (Harry/Blaise/Draco/OC/OC)



The Rise of the Drackens by Starlight_Massacre

Excellent story, I have to admit I love creature Harry and this one is a beauty. I have read a couple of other dracken stories one I could not get past the first chapter and the other I read some but I did not like the characterization and it just did not keep my attention. This one starts out like most stories where Harry wakes up with a surprise but then it begins to get interesting. Once he realizes what is happening the Potter luck kicks in. There is drama, death, misunderstanding, prejudice and that only in the first few chapters. It is an amazing story with a realistic look at teenage pregnancies, making compromises in relationships, how friendships can break and new ones can be born. Getting pregnant is easy, raising babies is not even when your a powerful wizard with four mates. Watch has Harry takes on the challenge of mates of different ages, children lots of children, in-laws you love and mother-in-laws from hell, learning to trust others and most of all learning that it is okay to be happy. Oh and lets not forget the hot sex scenes and I do mean hot.

Pearls for Pork (Tony/Steve/Clint/Thor/Bruce/Hulk)



Pearls for Pork by Renai_chan
http://archiveofourown.org/works/341658?view_adult=true

A one shot PWP that is not only hot it is super hot. Tony finally coughs up a fantasy wherein he was fucked by every male member of the team sometimes two at a time only he slips and says "the five of you" and they finally pin him down to admit he wants both sides of Bruce. Steve decides that he wants Tony and he and the others want to make the fantasy come true. It is done well and the scene with the Hulk is amazing and done beautifully and carefully and makes a story worth reading again and again.
