Title: I know you—a glance, and what you are by blackkat
Fandom: MCU, Hawkeye (Matt Fraction comics)
Character/Pairing: Clint Barton, Kate Bishop, Laura Barton

Title: Homecoming by thatdamneddame
Fandom:
Character/Pairing: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, past Phil Coulson/OMC
Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, OCs
Summary: "When Phil Coulson was twenty-three, he fell in love. It’s what people are supposed to do, fall in love and settle down, but for all Phil Coulson is a practical man, he’s never been one for convention."
Word Count: 5484
Why I Rec This Fic: There is just something about this kind of relationship, the mood (quiet, and nostalgic bittersweet but happy) and the characterization of Coulson that just right up my type.
Warning: mention of homophobia, minor character death 

When Phil was twenty-eight, both his parents died in a car crash, and it was like whatever had been holding him to the conventional life had been severed with it. Richard doesn’t know, can never know, that SHEILD had contacted him before. That Phil was twenty-six and in an undisclosed location on a mission that never happened and everything that could go wrong did, and Phil, covered in the blood of the commanding officer he couldn’t save, single-handedly got his unit the hell out of dodge. And Phil had said no then because he couldn’t lie to his parents.
But he could lie to Richard.
Phil’s not really proud about that, but he’s honestly not that ashamed either. 
His sister, Lydia, was older by two years and as quietly competent as him. She was a court stenographer until she found Henry, who found Phil and Richard to be against God, and Phil found he didn’t really have time for people like that, not when he had taken bullets for his country.
He sends her cards for Christmas and her birthday, and gift cards to his niece and nephew, who he’s only ever met twice, on appropriate gift giving occasions. Lydia sends him the occasional email and mails him family photos that Phil keeps in a lock box under his bed.
They were close when they were younger, but years and miles and jobs and spouses have come between them. Phil doesn’t really miss her, not when he knows she’s safe and happy. Now he has his makeshift family at SHIELD. For years, it’s been more than enough. 

Title: Steve Roger's Soviet Assassins Dating Service by MissMorwen
Fandom: Captain America (Movies)
Character/Pairing: James "Bucky" Barnes/Natasha Romanov, Steve Rogers
Word Count: 289
Summary: "In which Steve tries to be sneaky, Natasha and Bucky try to be even sneakier, and everyone end up much happier than they were at the beginning."

Steve doesn't mind Natasha's relentless matchmaking, in fact, he thinks it's kind of sweet of her, if a bit inconvenient at times.[...]It reminds him of how Bucky used to make him go on double dates. 

Title: Golems by thesometimeswarrior
Fandom: Iron Man
Character/Pairing: Tony Stark, Howard Stark, Howard Stark Sr., Steve Rogers
Summary: Three generation of Starks.
Word Count: 976
Why I Rec This Fic: Great character study, and beautiful bit with the feel of reclamation of the narrative.

"He names himself Stark because he wants it to be true. Stark, he figures, is the American for Shtark, which is Yiddish for Strong, and that’s the one thing the thirteen year-old-boy who will one day be known as Howard Stark Sr. wants to be." 

Title: Maqqaba by Domenika Marzione (domarzione)
Fandom: Captain America
Character/Pairing: Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Abraham Erskine, Colonel Phillips
Summary: "Chanukah in the SSR."
Word Count: 1879
Why I Rec This Fic: Nice use of the outside pov. The lab has a great real life energy, and the way Erskins memory lives in this fic while he is absent though it is really touching.

Title: צוריס [tsuris] by Lasgalendil
Fandom: Captain America
Character/Pairing: Winifred Barnes, James "Bucky" Barnes, George Barnes
Summary: "No mother should have to outlive her child."
Word Count: 280
Warnings: Antisemitism
Why I Rec This Fic: I love minor character povs and the historical references and short style make an interesting read.
