avengers_searchI need something good and long to read please! At least 50,000 but hoping for 100,000. I'm not picky at the moment, I don't mind slash, gen, AU, or anything else.
All I ask is that it has a happy ending and not super dark. Angst and hurt/comfort are bonus! I have read and loved all of Scifigirl's, Ysbetwordsmith, and owlet's stuff.
Please help!! What are your favorite long fics or series?

An Early Thaw (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4959730) by ironychan
Summary: An alternate universe: the year is 1986. Ronald Reagan is president. Peggy Carter is director of SHIELD. Howard Stark is CEO of Stark Industries and father of a fifteen-year-old son. And a survey team in the arctic has just found Captain America.
All For One (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3437366) by ironychan
Summary: While tracking down a weapons-smuggling operation in Florida, Steve Rogers stumbles across a dead body - HIS dead body. When he, Sam, and Natasha investigate, they discover a conspiracy bigger and more bizarre than anything HYDRA has thrown at them yet.
Responsible Science (http://archiveofourown.org/series/21267) by lettered
Bruce-centric post-Avengers series.
At My Back (http://archiveofourown.org/series/43822) by SallyExactly (WIP)
Summary: Clint Barton's snap decision to re-interpret his mission orders means a new life for Natalia Romanova. She's only got the one shot at it, though, and "how to live and remake yourself in three easy steps" was never included in her assassin training.
No Such Liberty (http://archiveofourown.org/works/461963) by Xparrot
Summary: The first thing Loki said, after he had swiped his tongue over his lips to wet them, was, "You shouldn't trust me."
~
Following the attack on New York, Thor takes Loki back to Asgard in chains; but this does not mean that the god of mischief's schemes are ended, or that Thor has or ever will give up on his brother. But when Thanos threatens the realm to claim his lost prizes, on which side will Loki fall?
no subject
Date: 2016-09-11 08:33 am (UTC)Even the Light is an Illusion (http://archiveofourown.org/works/507292) by Mizzy (Steve/Tony)
Summary: Death threats are an unfortunate side-effect of being Tony Stark, so he's learned to ignore them. The problem is, when someone really wants you dead, hiding your head in the sand just kinda exposes your ass.
But it's not just Tony's behind on the line. Whoever wants him dead wants him to suffer first, and they're willing to do anything to make that happen. Tony knows there's only one way out. To save Steve, the Avengers, and the general public, Tony has to die. Of course, death isn't always the end, and Tony does what any other self-disrespecting scientist would do: he finds a way to fake his death and avenge his own murder.
The trouble is, terrible decisions usually have a terrible price, and this one is no different. Tony has a chance to save the day, but the cost may be more than Tony was ever expecting to pay…
Not About Superheroes (A Private Little War) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/747827) by AnnaFugazzi (Steve/Tony)
Summary: In less than a year, Steve has been brought back from the dead, adapted to a whole new world, plunged right back into battle again, and moved in with a bunch of superheroes. He's handling everything remarkably well. Except when he's not.
Counterpart (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1659452) by sara_holmes (Steve/Tony)
Summary: coun•ter•part [koun-ter-pahrt] [noun] 1. a person or thing closely resembling another, especially in function. 2. a copy; duplicate. 3. one of two parts that fit, complete, or complement one another.
Just because Hydra used the DNA of a Captain America from another dimension to create a lab-grown, six-year-old super-soldier, it doesn't mean that said six-year old super-soldier is biologically Steve's, right?
(Where Steve wants to ban Clint from bringing things home from alternative dimensions, until he doesn't.)
your blue-eyed boys (http://archiveofourown.org/series/107477) by Feather (lalaietha) (Steve/Bucky)
Summary: Steve has no plan. Not because he hadn't tried to make one. He'd tried to make lots of plans. Plan, adapt, plan again, tried to think of every contingency.
And then he'd thrown them away, because there wasn't much point. What could you plan for? He couldn't guess the possible contingencies, the situations, the potentials. And he sure as sure hadn't figured on what's happened now, on coming back to his place and finding Bucky here. He hadn't even hoped for that.
He hadn't realized he could.
[post-Winter Soldier recovery fic]
Wild Ambition Fortune's Ice Prefers (http://archiveofourown.org/works/845183) by amberfox17 (Thor/Loki, AU)
Summary: When Thor went storming into Jotunheim he was looking to start a fight, but accidently winds up a pawn in Odin and Laufey's plans for a permanent peace between the realms; namely, in exchange for the return of the Casket of Ancient Winters, Laufey is offering his firstborn child Loki, the Aesir-sized sorcerer, in marriage to Thor. Such a momentous decision is not to be taken lightly, so Odin sends Thor to live on Jotunheim - without Mjolnir - for a season with Loki, to get to know his prospective consort and to teach the wilful prince some diplomatic sense. Thor is horrified, his parents are insistent and no-one really knows what Loki is thinking, but he hasn't stopped smiling...
Or, a jotun AU arranged marriage worldbuilding fic, featuring a confused Thor, a manipulative bastard Loki, Jotunheim politics, a slow burn developing relationship and a motley arrangement of characters from Marvel and myth.

Hawkeye and the Furball by blackchaps

Wiping Off the Dust by dentalfloss
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1373596/chapters/2873347

First, Do No Harm by BarqueBatch, SkyisGray
http://archiveofourown.org/works/2153814/chapters/4707264
Although I haven't read this fic, one of the authors wrote the fabulous Ipseity series (146K). I didn't rec that particular series because I suspect some of the backstory may be a bit too dark for what you are looking. "First, Do No Harm" sounds a little lighter in tone.
Cheers,
Caelulum

If We Never Got This Second Chance - Pookaseraph (http://archiveofourown.org/works/550076) R, 50K
If you haven't seen "The Losers" then i recommend you watch it noooow. :D Jensen is Steve and Tony's son from the future (and a captain america clone) for reasons unknown. Problem? Steve and Tony aren't in a relationship yet. They're not even close friends. Superfamily! Also, plot.

An AU in which Steve Rogers was born into the modern day and never received the Serum, but managed to make it into SHIELD as a handpicked protege of senior field agent Abraham Erskine. Along with Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Peggy Carter, and eventually Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes, Steve still tries to make a difference. Particularly in the life of Tony Stark, who picked up what he thought was an art student in a bar, and ended up dating one of SHIELD's top agents...

Canon!AU
Date: 2016-09-24 05:43 pm (UTC)Say When - ann2who (http://archiveofourown.org/series/126567) Series, NC-17, 241K+
A series rewriting MCU verse, beginning with an alternate version of Iron Man 2, in which, instead of Natasha, Steve got assigned to help Tony while the genius was slowly dying of Palladium poisoning. Author writes Steve/Tony versions of IM3, Cap2, Age of Ultron and now Civil War. I like these versions better. Also, Tony has extremis!
Don't Look too Closely (all the angles are oblique) - shaenie (http://archiveofourown.org/series/29050) NC-17, 161K+, Series
Oh man, this is a canon!au where Steve gets defrosted earlier and works for both SHIELD and the military. Identity porn because Steve being Captain america is a secret. they enter a D/s relationship. Kinky. Bottom!Steve.
Tomorrow Belongs To Me (http://archiveofourown.org/works/259417/chapters/405402) by valtyr NC-17, 87K
This was written before the Avengers came out, so their meeting starts a bit differently. One of my favorites.
I (created from fantasies) exist solely for you (http://archiveofourown.org/works/565273) by Mizzy PG-13, 62K
Identity Porn! Canon and "a comic book office AU, where Steve is defrosted a year too late, Thor has forgotten who he is, and no one knows Tony is Iron Man."
Nostalgia - blue_jack (http://archiveofourown.org/works/533244) NC-17, 62k, WIP
D/s universe where Tony becomes Steve's dominant because he's basically given no choice on the matter. Their relationship develops slowly and beautifully though. Love it.

Five years ago, Thor's Chitauri army decimated the Earth. Now what's left of humanity lives in bases under the Earth's surface, safe from the toxic atmosphere.
Wait & Sea - Lenalena (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1485127) NC-17, 53K+
In which Tony and Steve get sent on an undercover mission aboard a cruise ship to make contact with Hydra. In this AU the military has kept the discovery and defrosting of Captain America a secret, so Steve and Tony have never met before. The summary put me off at first, but I loved the direction the author went wit h this plot.
Marvel comics 616
Date: 2016-09-24 05:59 pm (UTC)Resurrection-verse - Elspethdixon, Seanchai (http://archiveofourown.org/series/22273) PG-13, 338k, series
If you're familiar with Civil War, then you know what happened to Steve. This is a series where Doom brings Steve back from the dead. It's an epic series, complete, and amazing. What I loved, other than the characterization, is that it's full of feels and hurt!Tony. :D
America Isn't Chicken - Amuly (http://archiveofourown.org/works/860801) NC-17, 135k
Post Civil War. Steve and Tony and a game of gay chicken. Also, someone is after Tony.
Pulse, Beat and Measure - Sineala (http://archiveofourown.org/series/360872) NC-17, 134K, Series
You don't need to be familiar with Marvel Noir to enjoy this. All you need to know is that Tony Stark is an adventurer during the time of WW2. The second story is the longer one where there's a crossover between Noir and Marvel 616. FIX IT FOR THE AFTERMATH OF CIVIL WAR. IT'S AWESOME.
Some Assembly Required - kijikun (http://archiveofourown.org/series/9619) NC-17, 89k
The one where Tony adopts Maria, a little girl that has been trained as a weapon all her life, and things get complicated when Steve (who was dead) comes back and turns to Tony for help. So so awesome.
All The Leaves Are Brown (And The Sky Is Gray) - paxnirvana (http://archiveofourown.org/works/426400) NC-17, 88k, WIP
I haven't read the comics in a long time so I forgot most of it but I enjoyed the hell out of this one. Pining!Tony is the best.
Dimension Home - Pookaseraph (http://archiveofourown.org/series/50052) PG-13, 86k, Series
Again, I haven't read this particular comic but I don't think you need to be familiar with it to enjoy it. Steve being a parent and Tony bonding with his son is heartwarming.

616 Civil War where Tony time travels to the past and tries to fix EVERYTHING.
An Ever Fixed Mark - Elspethdixon, Seanchai (http://archiveofourown.org/works/408631) PG-13, 70k

Hope of Morning - magicasen (http://archiveofourown.org/series/265207) PG-13, 51k, Series
Tony recovers his lost Civil War memories, and thus begins a chain of events with the entire multiverse at stake.

The story where Bucky needs Tony Stark to save Steve, although Bucky is not the one who is crazy about Marvels and the man whose adventures made the magazine great, and Tony comes because he has a score to settle. Or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself right until he’s swept up by the mystery of it all. (A Marvel Noir fic that is fun to read. I love Marvel Noir fics eventhough...I haven't read the comic lol)
Here Be Dragons - MemoryDragon (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4070290) PG-13, 67K
Tony Stark has come far from his adventures with Marvels, fighting the long War with no end in sight. When he's shot from the sky, he finds himself in an underground utopia and a city of dragons. One dragon in particular reminds Tony of what it's like to live again, but can he save the city from the monsters that lurk below and above?

Summary: (Cold War AU) To Bucky Barnes, Tony Stark used to be just a handsome face, a name associated with sex scandals, shiny new toys, and weapons manufacturing, until Stark’s controversial press conference puts him at the top of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s watch list, and at the center of Bucky’s world. What starts as an assignment soon tips over into obsession, and all too soon Bucky finds himself risking everything to help the one person he’s felt a connection to since being a prisoner of the KGB. The only problem is, Tony Stark doesn’t even know he exists yet.

After the events of CATWS, Tony discovers something in the leaked SHIELD data that catches everyone's attention. A list of HYDRA research bases. When the team starts taking them out, however, things go sideways in ways they didn't expect. Director Fury pulls his support, the HYDRA bases are not what they seem, and a certain ghost is testing the edges of their mission parameters... And through it all, Tony can't seem to help but dig until he gets to the bottom of things.

Bea’s comment: This is the fic that got me into Bucky/Clint. It is epic (100K+ of awesomeness! Bucky kidnaps Clint in order to find out more about Steve but then Hydra shows up, there are deep, emotional issues (they are both so fucked up) but then they become friends and gah, it’s so so so good. I couldn’t stop reading it! I love how sara writes Clint! And Bucky! So so good.
Complications - flawedamythyst (http://archiveofourown.org/works/6700921) NC-17, 84K
Clint's got a plan to retire and go find himself a simple life at his family's old farm. Simple is good, right? Easy to remember. Simple is why he doesn't really mind that his soul-print has never activated, because a soulmate could only add another layer of complexity to his life. And then the Winter Soldier turns up at his archery range on the Avengers base, and simple slips through Clint's fingers.

Clint Barton's Super Secret Snipers' Club. (Invitation and pending mental health evaluation required.) "When Steve brings Bucky back to the tower for the first time, Clint’s first thought is that Tony Stark’s pride and joy is quickly becoming a less of a very tall and expensive ‘fuck you’ in the faces of investors who don’t believe in self-sustaining energy, and more of a superhero rehabilitation center."

No one should be able to just steal Captain America's health. The Avengers are all agreed on that. And yet there Steve is: stuck in a hospital bed with a whole slew of medical issues - and nothing about this is remotely okay.
They've got to make this right. They've got to fix this. It's just going to take a while.
OR
Steve is reverted to his pre-serum state, and the Avengers deal with the fallout.

Tony's light had flickered out in the aftermath of the fight with the Chitauri, but his team was there and, hey, he'd just been to space, give a guy some slack. The next morning they accepted, but when he collapses weeks later, they're not going to let him brush it off again, and neither is JARVIS.
