Hello Everybody! I got three short and sweet ones for you here today: some fluffy Stucky, Ronon Dex finally gets some attention from the SGA fandom, and an MCU movie night. What have you been reading? Got any old favs you wanna share? Come on, I want my Ao3 to read list to crack 60 pages!
I hope it isn't crossing any lines if I start off today with one of our own. I would rec this fic without hesitation if it was a stranger but I don't want my mutuals to think I don't like their work if I don't rec it here. This fic is sweet without being cloying. I really like how it conveyed that they love each other but that doesn't mean they are psychic, misunderstandings are a part of life.
The Language of Flowers
By
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
norsellieFandom: Captain America, MCU
Length:6476 words
Status: Complete
Author Summary: Steve woos Bucky with flowers. That's it. That's the fic.
My Synopsis: Steve and Bucky have trouble communicating so they try another language - Flowers.
Tags/Warnings: under the cut
Pairing(s):James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers, Pepper Potts/Tony Stark (background), Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers (past), James "Bucky" Barnes & Peggy Carter
Sex: some kissing;
Violence/Blood & Gore: none
Drug/Alcohol Use: almost none; Stark manages to get them a little tipsy in a scene near the end.
Consent Issues: none - one joke about what Stark slipped in their drinks but they wanted to get drunk.
Other:Flower Language (but well explained in the fic so you don't have to know it to understand) not all love stories need to be breathless confessions, some times a couple of punks need to learn to communicate.
For my next fic: How about nice short fic with a rare pair? Real mastery of show don't tell and how to use indirect dialogue to pack a punch.
Quick Study
By
Fandom: Star Gate Atlantis
Status:Complete
Length: 1,534
Author Summary: Ronon wants to learn science; Radek is more than willing to help teach him. Along the way, Radek learns some things, too.
My Synopsis: Nice little fic, not too fluffy not at all smutty, almost a Ronon character study.
Tags/Warnings: under the cut
Pairing(s):Ronon Dex/Radek Zelenka;
Sex: one kiss with an offer to take him to bed.
Violence/Blood & Gore: mention of Rodney being unconscious and treated by Teyla. Pretty Brief and bloodless. Cannon typical too, poor guy took after Daniel.
Drug/Alcohol Use: none
Consent Issues: none
Other: ? ask me and I'll add find out/add a tag
To round things off why don't we follow the natural progression of this list all the way to a nice tiny gen fic? MCU you better reconcile the team and make movie night a thing-you're on thin ice. Also links to Sam Copperbadge's work should come in the fandom welcome packet, dude is prolific and he earns that BNF cred.
Walt Disney's Captain AmericaBy
Fandom:MCU
Status:Complete
Length:863 words
Author Summary: Tony gives the Avengers a crash course in Disney.
My Synopsis: Tony is the only Avenger familiar with Disney movies, naturally they must have a marathon
Tags/Warnings: under the cut
Pairing(s): none unless you seriously squint
Sex: None/Gen fic;
Violence/Blood & Gore: They talk Disney during a fight, no blood, no one hurt
Drug/Alcohol Use: none;
Consent Issues: You really should tell people ahead of time about parental death in Disney, they don't play fair. Falling asleep on someone during a movie?
Other: Everyone lives in the tower team fic

Summary:
Everyone knew how the story went: climb the beanstalk, brave the terrible giant, and if you were lucky and clever and quick you could come away with fortune enough to change your world. If you weren't…well, not every story had a happy ending.
Bucky's problem was that his story had gone wrong before it started. He wasn't braving the giant for a chance at fortune, he was climbing the beanstalk to save his skin—ironic, when he knew the giant was probably going to stomp him flat.
Except he didn't. Didn't stomp him flat, didn't send him back down the beanstalk, didn't act much like a terrible giant at all. He was kind in a way Bucky didn't know how to deal with because everyone knew that wasn't how the world worked. But Bucky was slowly coming to understand that at the top of a beanstalk nothing was what it seemed and that sometimes, with enough determination, what everyone knew could be changed completely.
I am a sucker for fairytale AUs. This is one is amazing. SO GOOD.
