- Young Avengers - Wrong Person Right by kphoebe - This is one of the first YA fics I stumbled across when I'd finished reading the issues and there's something about it that made me laugh. I think it may have been this line: "My BOYFRIEND is in the thirtieth century learning how to be a time-travelling HOMICIDAL MANIAC, is what!" Cassie yelled, putting her head through the door way. It expanded as they watched. "And it’s VALENTINE’S DAY and that SUCKS." The fic is one of those that totally plays up the dorky teenagers with powers aspect, but because it's done with a sense of humor and some genuinely cute/clever little moments, I wound up being quite fond of it. The author has a solid sense of comedic timing as well, watching the characters fall all over each other and make gooey, dopey comments because one of Billy's spells goes wrong is actually quite hilarious, I was practically burbling with delight at watching Eli and Kate trip all over each other even when half of them was ready to kill - Young Avengers - So You Think You Can Dance by dorksidefiker - Okay. Okay. Billy teaching Teddy to dance shouldn't be this cute. It should have made me roll my eyes and click on the back button. But they're such cute dorky boyfriends and the writing is pretty solid and Tommy is such a little brat and Billy is... oh, Billy. You dork. I love you. Half cute fluff and half humorous piece, this one totally managed to just hit the right notes for me somehow. ♥ (Teddy/Billy.) - Young Avengers - Back Scratcher by dorksidefiker - I admit. It's the last two lines of this fic that were what really got me. Because you know that had to have happened. It would have happened just like that. I mean, I love the image of Billy having an itch in the middle of his back and trying to get at it and Kate looking at him with that My teammates are all insane. look and Teddy eventually coming along to get the right spot. But they're such... teenage boys and that would so happen. I still giggle. Shut up. (Teddy/Billy.) - Young Avengers - A Proposal: Three Drabbles by clayin - I love when a set of drabbles comes together like this, especially when it gives me the pairings I really want to see. But it's more than that, they're all fun and cute and clever and made me laugh and I honestly don't know which one is my favorite. I mean, I want to say Teddy/Billy is my favorite, because OTP and all that. And put-upon!Teddy, how can you resist that? But then there's Kate and Eli bitching/snarking at each other and that's really hot. And then there's Cassie and the Vision and a line that totally wins. So! No deciding which is my favorite for me. ♥ (Teddy/Billy, Eli/Kate, Vision/Cassie, maybe a little Tommy/Kate.) - Young Avengers - Trapped in a Closet by dorksidefiker - Okay, see. I have this strange thing (that is also Noel's fault) for Eli/Kate/Tommy, even if I don't know how the hell that would work out. So I was wary when clicking onto this fic, but curious as well, and it ended up being just the right kind of thing to read. Because there is something so much fun to play with between the three of them and Billy would completely lock them in the closet until they did something about it and then the situation would end EXACTLY LIKE THAT. I'm a sucker for that one moment where I go, "OMG, YES, THEY WOULD DO EXACTLY THAT. EXACTLY LIKE THAT." and this fic totally delivered. (Eli/Kate/Tommy... sort of.) - Young Avengers - More Than Bitterness by mizzmarvel - This is a story idea I've never seen used with Young Avengers before, a possible aspect of Teddy's childhood and his abilities that's intriguing. Then it's put together with absolutely lovely Teddy/Billy relationship cuteness that's not so much cute as it is cute AND meepy-inducing. It might be a short little thing, but it's lovely and packs quite the punch. (Teddy/Billy.)
