post Age of Ultron fanfic recs

Rewatched Age of Ultron with friends who saw it for the first time, still liked what I had liked during the first watching, warmed up to the twins to the degree that when I went looking for fanfic afterward, a great deal of what I read was about Wanda, and generally enjoyed the fannish experience of being with people who just plain loved it. Which can be incredibly relaxing.

Since the couple of post-movie tales I found and liked are spoileryfor the movie by descriptions, all my recs shall be hidden under a cut.




Obviously, I wanted to read some JARVIS mourning and dealing with Vision's existence, and here's what I found that didn't go over the top and felt just right:

Jumping the Uncanny Valley (1966 words) by Echo
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Tony Stark, Vision (Marvel), Jarvis (Iron Man movies)

Summary:

Spoilers for Age of Ultron


He really had just intended to get a drink, make enough casual small talk to prove to himself that this wasn't going to be a problem, then get on with his evening. This? Not really the conversation he was expecting to have.

Tony and Vision talk about AIs and paradoxes. And JARVIS.



there the true Silence is (396 words) by psocoptera
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Avengers: Age of Ultron - Fandom, Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Tony Stark & JARVIS, Pepper Potts/Tony Stark
Characters: Jarvis (Iron Man movies)
Additional Tags: Post-Movie(s), Grief/Mourning
Summary:

Tony has never been sentimental. So it shouldn't hurt so much that there's no body.



Incidentally, rewatching has reminded me that JARVIS is still JARVIS as late as when Tony has pierced the parts of him back together and seduces Bruce into creating their second mad scientist love child. It's not just the "Hello, Dr. Banner" but JARVIS after Tony made his first pitch to Bruce chimes in with saying he - definitely using the word "I" - thinks it could work and they should do it. That JARVIS himself votes for being downloaded into the new body is a neat touch which hadn't really registred with me the first time around, but he/it does choose its own destiny in the end. Whether or not Tony believes the resulting entity will basically be JARVIS in a body or a new entity, otoh, is arguably; he's certainly awed and shocked at the same time when Vision starts to talk (and makes it clear he's not JARVIS, or Ultron, either).

Then, like I said, the second time watching warmed me up to the twins, and there's been a lot of Wanda fanfic already, grieving for her brother. Here's one where she does that but also does what I was looking for, has that conversation with Tony about what he did to them in the past, and what she did more recently.

"Your girlfriend is a saint." / "Not gonna argue with you," Stark says. "Saint Pepper of Potts, patron saint of hopeless causes, power lunches, and five-inch heels." [Set post-AoU; major spoilers]




Wanda's powers in any 'verse are vague enough that you have room for fictional redefinition. Here, she's dealing with her grief by looking for her brother in the multiverses:

All the World's a Stage: Wanda has one brother. She has none. She has an infinite number of them. It's all just a matter of perspective.

And finally, Steve post movie, dealing with it all. :
