Old school recs?

[blue-underwing.livejournal.com]

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.

It may seem counter-intuitive, but while there certainly was a quietly thriving fandom pre-movie, it wasn't particularly old. I'm a Steve/Tony shipper rather than an Avengers-gen reader, but that was considered the juggernaut ship even back then. I'd say I read pretty much everything there was before the MCU started, and it was almost all written after 2000. Steve/Tony fic really only took off with Civil War, even though there'd always been jokes about it prior.

If you trawl through Tales of Suspense, and the two LJ comms (http://stevelovestony.livejournal.com and http://cap_ironman.livejournal.com) that's about it. For other pairings try Marvel Slash.

Well, <2008 is still premovie, so i'll take it. Thank you for the links :)
