Summary
Steve and Bucky's fake[ish] relationship is still unnamed after three years, to the eternal annoyance of the rest of their friends. Tony fails harder at asking Pepper out than he fails at inventing a robot without causing at least three explosions. Coulson has never met anyone who can bungle paperwork harder than Clint. Natasha does not have the patience to deal with these morons. Darcy has no idea how this is her life, but they tip too well for her to throw them out of the bar.

Once Upon A Dream by TheRedMenace

Summary
Once upon a time, a panther and falcon played cat and mouse. Once upon a time, a knight stood vigil over a sleeping beauty. Once upon a time, a broken soldier undertook an impossibly long journey to get home.
Dragons were slain and fairy godmothers offered aid, and maybe, just maybe, they will all live happily to the end of their days.

Summary
"We few; we happy few; we band of brothers."
If Azzano was the fire of Hell they had all walked through, it was also the searing heat that forged them into a band of brothers, forming the bonds that would turn them into near-mythic elite fighters, Knights of the Round Table banded around their King Arthur.

Summary
"Honestly, there are a lot of days lately where I can’t help but think the world, and us, would be better off if Tony Stark had never been born.”
In a world of gods and monsters, it is dangerous to speak wishes aloud, when anyone or anything could be listening. Some people do not appreciate the way the Avengers treat Tony Stark, and one careless wish spoken where they can hear abandons the Avengers in a world where Tony Stark doesn't exist, and all the good he's gone never was.
It reveals a lot of truths.
Some hurt more than others.

Turnabout is fair play.
It's different when it hits close to home.
Only ask for sacrifices that you are willing to make yourself.

Facing Reality by aliaoftwoworlds
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)

Summary
Three years after the media-coined Civil War, the US government has pushed through pardons for the Rogue Avengers. However, they're going to have to face the real world now, rather than living off the money and good grace of Tony Stark.
A series of somewhat-connected snapshots from the Rogues' return to the Compound on, and their realizations that life won't be as easy as it was before. Slight canon divergence in that there's not yet any threat of Thanos.

Actions have consequences. And pardons aren't clean slates.

Bitter Retribution by aliaoftwoworlds
Fandom Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
21 Nov 2025
Summary
Various unconnected post-CW scenarios in which the ex-Avengers get what’s coming to them, turn on each other, get slapped in the face with the truth that Tony’s doing fine without them, etc. Some fantastical and unbelievable, some more realistic. Basically fuel for my bitter, bitter post-Civil War heart. Mostly oneshots with a few multi-chapter ones thrown in. All will be Team Cap negative (particularly Steve and Wanda) but generally Bucky neutral/positive.
