Ladies of Marvel - recs
Exactly what the title suggests. I'm looking for recommendations focussing on the ladies, especially Pepper (!), Darcy, Natasha and Jane. I don't mind them being paired with anyone, really, but I would love something focussing on their character and/or how incredible they are at what they do.
Also, if anyone knows any good fanvids about any of the above or all at once, I will give you my eternal gratitude, possibly my firstborn too.
Thanks in advance. =)

Hariboo's Pendulum: Beginning (http://archiveofourown.org/works/496214/chapters/868872) is very Jane-centric, and there'a also the Sif-centric The Salt Skin (http://archiveofourown.org/works/260182/chapters/406942), both of which are great.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-21 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)New recs!
Pepper Potts
Unscheduled Meetings (http://archiveofourown.org/works/244316) and Accountability (http://archiveofourown.org/works/181451/chapters/266906), both by roboticonography.
Pepper before IM1, and after IM1 respectively (10k/13k words). Competent and confident Pepper, with a really spot-on voice and in-character interactions with Tony.
One Hundred and Five Percent (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1062796) by IamShadow21
Adorable and hot coda to IM3 featuring Techopath!Pepper a la comics!Extremis.
Rescue 'Verse (http://archiveofourown.org/series/47220) by jumpfall (22k words)
Post-IM3 Pepper gets a suit, adjusts to being a superhero, and is awesome.
Between the Darkness and the Stage (http://archiveofourown.org/works/542907) by marinarusalka
Pepper rescues Tony when he's kidnapped between IM1 and IM2. Features Pepper being the strong one in multiple ways.
Natasha Romanoff
A bunch of short team-focused fics.
Congratulations on an Excellent Kill (http://archiveofourown.org/works/627351) by igrockspock
A Different Glow for Every Window (http://archiveofourown.org/works/485157) by winterhill
Fellowship (http://archiveofourown.org/works/492601) by irnan
Progress Reports, Pancakes, and Paper Planes (http://archiveofourown.org/works/431317) by such_heights
Darcy Lewis
Shorts (both Darcy/Sif, so two for the price of one on these! Both are cute):
A Girl Worth Fighting For (http://archiveofourown.org/works/450317) by beardsley
Scavenger Hunting is Extremely Likely Disasterous (S.H.I.E.L.D.) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/395438) by amathela
Longer fics:
Life After You've Been Disappeared (http://archiveofourown.org/works/748641) by snack_size (50k words)
Darcy-joins-SHIELD fic. This is the best fic I've read of this trope, keeping everyone involved believable, and has a solid actiony plot. Features the beginning of a Steve/Darcy relationship, but nothing explicit.
We'll Run Like We're Awesome (http://archiveofourown.org/series/57783) by themonkeycabal. (100k+ words)
Darcy-is-Tony's-Biological-Daughter!AU. Again, a strong execution of a common trope. Covers Darcy from a fairly young child to the events of The Avengers.
