Warning: Most of these notables are NOT worksafe!
This lists some notable reads and those that have a * make quite a sizzle.
If you're too young or too closed-minded about some of the things you read here, please feel free to leave. If you've got other rec's that are different from what I've got (but are on par in quality, length, and so on) feel free to leave comments. I usually like longer, angstier works, but I'm always interested in a good read ;)

"aka The SHIELD Hypothesis
Maria Hill is the Assistant Director of SHIELD, a high-flying member of a high-flying covert agency, whose friends and colleagues could, and often did take off, into flight. But while most of them come from similar, if exceptional, military backgrounds, not all of them have the same story. This story is about Maria Hill, her history, and the price you have to pay for finding acceptance, when you belong to a high-flying, high-risk super secret organisation like SHIELD.
Tony Stark's not wrong, entirely. You do have to be a certain type of messed up, to find a home in SHIELD, or any similar intelligence agency. Normal people did not thrive in places where sex-change forms were a normal thing and re-writing Wills was a monthly business. Maria Hill always thought she was the exception. She always thought she was pretty normal, compared to the rest of the lot. She wasn't. But while Stark wasn't wrong, he wasn't exactly right, either. SHIELD is like the ocean; what it taketh away, it often giveth back, with upgrades."
On Tilt by

Only Soldier Now Is Me, The by

Shed my skin series by
"He feels wrong-footed; the way you do when you’ve spent a night away from home and wake up in an unfamiliar bed, like he has to take a second to remember where he is. It’s not an entirely unpleasant feeling."
Something Different by
"Roughly a year after the events at the Stark Expo, Pepper's "stable-ish" relationship with Tony has deteriorated into more —ish than stable. Tony has been keeping secrets, and he's brought home a mystery blond who occupies all his time—including the time he should have been using for work. While holding things together, Pepper finds herself getting much, much closer to Natalie. But Natalie may be hiding a few secrets of her own."

“Sometimes when I am bored, I go to Glechik Café in Little Odessa and pretend to be Muscovite.”
Stop All the Clocks Series by

Bend It Like Beckham
You and I by
"Jess jogs after her for a few paces, then tosses the ball up and boots it as hard as she can, without any semblance of technique or finesse. It flies over Jules’ head and she whips around to watch it arc a good twenty feet past her. 'Wanker,' she shouts affectionately, and takes off after."
Bitch Slap
Vegetables Are Not Enough by
demoka (Mother Superior/Sister Batrill)"Vegetables were no longer enough, nor was it prudent to continue using them.

hollycomb (Calvin/Susie) (kudos to essbeejay)"When Calvin finally sorts out his feelings for Susie his timing is not great." The writing is just made of awesome; it incorporates various comic fantasy elements of the original comic and then infuses it with a really interesting multi-layered storyline about expectations, coming of age rituals, and interpersonal relationships.
