Old school recs?

I've been thinking (dangerous, I know). Given that both fanfic and the Avengers have existed since well before I was born, there has fic out there that predates the movieverse. But pretty much all the fic I've seen has been written in just last couple years. I've seen maybe a couple fics from the late 2000s (civil-war fixers) and nothing from early. So my question is, does anyone know where the older fic is living, and/or have some old-school recs for me? Some of it has to be awesome.

Check out some of the fanfic communities here on LJ and navigate tags and such. Once you hit upon some authors, go through and look at their works.

There's plenty of things you'll find on AO3 (and elsewhere) that might have a mid-/late-2000s posting date, but that doesn't mean it wasn't written earlier.

It's really going to depend on 'verse, I think, when it comes to finding "old-school" - if you mean based on older comics canon or various cartoon verses. Searching by 'verse will probably yield you better results, then.

As for something based on old-school comics, I highly recommend:
Living in Clover (http://ailette.livejournal.com/18733.html) and sequel The Fourth Leaf(http://ailette.livejournal.com/24611.html) ((note: both Steve/Tony))
