Summary
With disappointment and failure as her only fears, Hilda Valentine Goneril spent her youth lowering expectations as best she could. She doesn't regret the tactic until Edelgard and Byleth recruit their entire graduating class as allies in the Imperial wars against the Kingdom and Alliance, leaving only her and Claude to resist.
Hilda is summoned to Enbarr, three years after the end of the war and the Empire's successful unification of Fodlan, equipped with plans for revenge and a reputation that belies the threat she poses. The Black Eagle Strike Force isn't ready for what's coming to them.

Summary
To say that Tony and Steve were operating under a few misconceptions about each other was an understatement. Their frustration combined with their crushing mutual admiration for one another was confusing and exhausting enough to give anyone who had to deal with the two of them headaches.
Why the task of getting the two to see eye to eye fell to him, Scott will never know. (He definitely blames Sam though. He's convinced it's revenge.)A fic where Sam decides to introduce Scott to the Avengers before the Lagos incident, and prevents a Civil War in the process.

The Prince's Engineer by barelycoherent

Summary
A fairy tale adventure about a brilliant young man and his one true love. When the kingdom's favorite engineer is kidnapped, the only person who can save him returns from oceans away. Together, the lovers must overcome the evils of the mythical kingdom of America to be reunited with each other.
Crossover with the William Goldman novel "The Princess Bride."
Or:
Tony reminded me of Buttercup so vividly and Steve is such a Westley that I couldn't help but write a Princess Bride AU with gratuitous fairy tale tropes and references to as many Marvel characters as I could possibly fit in. (Also, I skipped the sexism.)

Summary
"They think you paid me to be here," hisses Eggsy.
Harry stares at him. "I made your favorite dinner and I have to let your wretched beast sleep on the bed for a month," he says flatly.
"No, they think you paid me to be here," says Eggsy.
"My dear boy," says Harry, "do you think all these third wives married my classmates out of the purity of their affections?"

Summary
“This is your next target,” Merlin said into Harry’s earpiece, as Harry leaned forward to look at his laptop screen.
It blacked out, for a moment, then a clip out of some interview began to play. The video was in black and white, crisply and tightly shot, its subject a young man shown seated from the waist up, against a pale gray background, grinning at the camera. He was probably in his mid twenties, dressed down in a black leather jacket over a pale t-shirt, loose over denim jeans, his hair long enough to feather slightly over his forehead, a hint of stubble over his chin. He was also, quite possibly, the most beautiful young man Harry had ever seen, and disturbingly… familiar, somehow.
As the young man laughed noiselessly at the camera, elegant serif type faded over the lower third of the screen: Gary Unwin, by Vanity Fair. Harry blinked, and studied the young man’s pretty face more closely, the crinkling around his eyes, the joyous curl to his mouth, the way he sat, relaxed yet alert, like a hunting hound, waiting to come to heel.
