Things to do while waiting for the Life on Mars finale while one is actually supposed to WORK but in a distracted frenzy: fanfiction, of course. To wit, Marvelverse fanfic, hence the icon, and a Babylon 5/Crusade crossover which I'm proud to have inspired:

Narncore by

Now, on to superheroes and their troubles:

Movieverse:

Paideia is a wonderful story about Scott Summers as a teacher; the interaction with John (not Pyro yet) is especially awesome.

Bearings, on the other hands, presents teenage Scott with Erik Lehnsherr. There is more than one way of blindness, and the Magneto foreshadowing - as well as showing why Scott won't end up in the Brotherhood - is intensely written.

Comicverse:

There is a new archive for fanfiction set in the Marvelverse (X-men, Fantastic Four, Avengers, Spider-man, as long as it's Marvel, you can archive it here, so go and upload!), and already I found some delightful stories I missed on lj.

First a bit of fluff, because these folk don't angst all the time. Sometimes they're just mortally embarassed. Check out Sex Pollen Fic, Minus The Sex, which gives us Peter Parker (first person narration, perfect Spidey voice) in this situation. Along with several other members of the New Avengers. I'm still giggling.

Of course, these days, what with a Civil War behind them, all the characters in the previous stories are pretty much angsting non-stop. The two sides of the conflict being mainly presented by Tony Stark, aka Iron Man on the one side and Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, on the other. For a great take on their relationship, read this:
