fluffy, uplifting stories, please?

[thms-pn.livejournal.com]

I could really use some fluffy, nice, just good people being good stories. More likely to read slash, but all pairings or no pairings are good if story is good. Don't care if there's smut, but I usually just skim over it, so a bit of plot is nice. ;)

Also, if possible, BAMF women stories that don't require someone being kidnapped, tortured, raped, abused, etc first to prove they're a BAMF, I guess.

Already follow/read: scifigrl47, copperbadge, and owlet.

Thanks.
May we all find strength and hope.

Here are a few that might work:
The Humanization Humiliation by Wordsplat
http://archiveofourown.org /works/ 812937#main
Fury orders the Avengers to give informal interviews. Fury, of all people, should have known better.

Trickster + SHIELD by kalishino
http://archiveofourown.org /works/ 5821582#main
Synopsis: Loki falls, land in the East River (in NYC) and is rescued by Shield. (Thor AU, no Avengers as such.)

A Day in the Sun by Mikkeneko
http://archiveofourown.org/ works/2435852/ chapters/5394512
Synopsis: Loki switches bodies with Thor. There is also a section where Tony takes Loki to Vegas.

The Art Of Trolling by Odsbodkins
http://archiveofourown.org /works/ 732536
Synopsis: Bucky is very protective of Steve; his idea of help is trolling.

Let me know what you liked -- or not -- and I'll try to look for more. Though a lot of my recs are by authors you've already mentioned.

I have a series of Maximoff-centric fics, some of which are fluffy and all of which have Wanda being awesome in some capacity (and often other characters being awesome). Same username on AO3. Beyond those authors you've already listed, however, I don't know many other decent pieces of fluff, sorry.

I'd hesitate to call most of my stories fluffy, but they all have happy endings. This series: You Make Me Feel like I Am Home Again (http://archiveofourown.org/series/187163) is all Bucky/Steve, and about their relationship, and Bucky's relationships with the other Avengers. There is angst, but all of the stories end well, and I can promise you lots of love, friendship and Avengers-as-Family. The fluffiest and funniest stories of the bunch are "Impossible Odds and Untold Hardship" and "Antelope Down (15 Points)". The angstiest are probably "This Was a Battle" and "As Good a Place as Any", so you might want to avoid those. My personal favorite is "An Everyday kindness", and if you love Tony you might like "Lonely Dragons" and "A Precarious, Fragile Thing".

Otherwise, Puss (http://archiveofourown.org/works/8439112) is literally the fluffiest thing I've written in this fandom, since it's part of an AU series where Bucky is a were-cat whose normal appearance includes cat ears and a tail. You don't need to read the other fics in the series to understand what's going on, and "Kotik" is angsty as hell (though it really has a happy ending!), so it's okay if you avoid it like the plague.

Slipping of the Course that We Prepared (http://archiveofourown.org/works/7578406) is definitely fluffy and funny too, if you like soulmate fics.

Finally, my Self-Sacrifice and Other Idiot Ideas (http://archiveofourown.org/series/421558) series has angst but also humor (especially the first story), and both stories end well also. And Pietro lives. :)

I hope any of those help!

Thank you for requesting this, I was about to post the same. It is a dark time and I too need something uplifting. Have you read
Assembly Line (or Why It's a Lot Harder than Steve Thought to Recruit New Members) by MsBrooklyn

This one has some angst but it is pretty happy and has made me laugh out loud.

This one is another good series -- Coulson Lives, but the Avengers might be the death of him. by NiennaNir

This series is kinder and gentler as well. The premise is weird but there is some great advice for coping and the story is filled with fluff and hugs.
