Marvel (Cinematic Universe) FicsQuicklist

This page still under construction!!

Note for Screen Readers

I did my best to provide aria-labels and keep the document order relatively consistent. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to stick content into a grid and nest sections in a logical manner. So the header hierarchy gets split across adjacent sections: H2 and H3 might be in one section, and the next H3 in the next section.

I hope this isn't too confusing! It's meant to be a two-column layout for any devices wide enough to handle that.

For those not already familiar with my writing and my Blanket Policy:

General Info

I write Intense Drama and Deep (Nonsexual) Intimacy. Intimacy of the nonsexual kind, I mean; only about 10% of my fics involve sexuality or Ships of any kind (and they're in their own section).

(I also update sporadically and flit around among many projects, so it might take months for a given fic to update. As of writing this, I have over 60 WIP, none of which I have yet abandoned, but only a couple of which are (possibly) likely to be completed soon. If you're particularly bothered by that, best find a different author.)

I really am amazed at the level of complexity and the emotional wallop your writing packs. Let me know when you publish professionally, as I would be willing to pay for something this good in book form!

I have a liberal Blanket Policy—I'm never stingy with my ideas, and I love seeing others build off them! If anything here strikes your fancy, feel free to create something based on it. (Exceptions would include group projects, since I can't give blanket permission for work I'm not fully in charge of.)

Emoji Legend

This being a Quicklist, the following emoji represent details about the fics for compact, easily skimmable info:

Ratings and Content Warnings

Note: Mature Readers Only means that the work deals with controversial themes (mostly commonly Consent Issues, though it need not involve sexuality at all) and that sensitive or naive readers should tread carefully and younger readers (below, say, 15) should likely avoid it altogether. By contrast, Mature just means that it touches on content that may not be suitable for young teens. At least, that's the way I use it; Teen and Up means there's nothing that a 13-year-old should be particularly troubled by.

🔞: Mature Readers Only
‼: Mature
🍕: Teen and Up
😇: General Audiences
❔: Not Rated

💀: Major Character Death
💥: Graphic Depictions of Violence
🙅: Rape/Non-Con
🍭: Underage
⁉: Creator Chose Not to Warn

So ‼ by itself means "Mature rated but without any key warnings," while ‼⁉ means "Mature rated, be cautious as there may be Archive-Warning content in here." Most content rated below Mature would not have any of the Archive Warnings.

Now for a few recurring themes and specific warnings for my work:

⛓: Slavery
👹: Bigotry
💋: Sexism
🦽: Ableism
😨: Phobias/Fear
🤬: Swearing

Note: The absence of such an icon does not imply that the fic is free of such elements; I mark when such an element is strong, striking, or prevalent across more than a short portion of the fic. And that's when I actually remember that I included it (which I might overlook, not having read my own fics in a while). As always, check my actual tags on AO3, and if you feel like I've missed a tag, let me know in the comments section.

(I mark for any more than the mildest swearing, because I typically do not swear (either in speech or writing) and therefore it's outside my norm, so people should be able to tell in case they want to skip that element.)

Ending Types and Tone

😊: Positive Ending
😥: Bittersweet Ending
😔: Downer Ending

🎢: Intense
😈: Whump
😖: Angsty
😭: Tearjerker
🤔: Introspective
😏: Comedic / Silly
🐏: Fluff (rare)

Relationships

🥰: Focus on Friendship
🏡: Focus on Family or Found Family
👨👨: Slash (Male/Male)
👬: Technical Slash (short Male/Male)
👨👩: Het (Female/Male)
👩👩: Femslash (Female/Female)
🧜: Multi (Polyamory or Complex)

Technical Slash is mostly for those times when sexual content is a blip in an otherwise nonsexual relationship, or where the sexual part is treated as separate from the relationship as a whole. I know it's common for the Sex Pollen and Fuck or Die plots to be used as the start of a larger sexual relationship, but my writing doesn't typically go there. If the relationship could be described as friendship (or nonexistent) "except for that sex part," it might warrant this tag. Typically not desired by either character.

Note: The limited emoji set on this website denies me some obvious choices, such as an American flag (or better-looking Shield) for Captain America, or a Saluting Face for Rhodey, or a Female Genie for Nebula (blue skin, close enough!). Also, I'd love to split some of these up, like Bad Odin (tyrant) vs. Good Odin (king). Also also, some of the above characters might not be prominent in my stories just yet, but they're there in case I need them later.
