rec: Every Thirty Days

laurie_ky did an Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes fic, Every Thirty Days. It's Hawkeye/Bruce, and lemme tell you why I like it so much:

-I love Hawkeye on Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Love him. He's hilarious, and more of him is always better.

-I didn't really love Bruce on Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Personally, I'm not a fan of the "Bruce and Hulk are different people" trope. This fic is really in character for Bruce, so it has that trope, but it really made me realize that the other thing I didn't like about EMH!Bruce is that he isn't very well treated, both by the other characters and by the writers. On EMH, people do shitty things to him. A lot. And he's (seemingly) forgotten about for episodes on end (several times). Smaller on AO3 called Every Thirty Days a "fix-it fic" for EMH!Bruce, and that's what it is. He gets all the love and attention I always want Bruce to get; plus he get everyone saying sorry and realizing they've been dickly. It's very, extremely pleasing to the id.

-In other words, hurt/comfort so thick you can eat it with a spoon. I LOVE IT. And if you like Bruce and h/c, you'll probably love it too.

-Plot! Action! Suspense! Comic book plot with villains! The action scenes were especially well done.

-Hot sex.

-And an excellent supporting cast. My favorite was Maria Hill, who is such a badass on EMH, and a badass in this fic. I really enjoyed everyone though.

There's not nearly enough EMH fic out there, so I wanted to call attention to this addition. If you like these things, give it a try.
