This is all kinds of awesome. XD I love Eduardo joining the CIA and being totally badass. I liked the dynamic between Eduardo’s team and the tension between Eduardo and Mark when Eduardo goes back and how totally engrossing this fic is. I did think that the romance, when they finally got together, was totally mushy and over the top, but other than that, it’s awesome.

This is totally adorable! I love how fitting the handwriting is for each of them. Also, the notes are awesome! I loved the shareholder meeting notes page and how Mark and Eduardo end up communicating via cards. ♥

Summary: When the Emperor recruits Mulan to help China in the aftermath of the Hun attack, Mulan finds that more people than not want to box her into a woman’s “honorable” role. She’s having none of it.

Mulan is so awesome! ♥________♥ I love how this continues on from the end of the movie and how she struggles in a male-dominant world. I love how the Mulan is still saving China, but in a different way, and how hard she’s working to be recognized as equal. I also loved the interaction between Shang and Mulan and how they’re kinda awkward yet adorable together. ♥

Summary: Tiana’s first royal ball turns out to be something of a disaster, what with the prince being kidnapped and all. Luckily, she’s got back-up.

This is so awesome! I was a little skeptical at first about how the crossover between the three movies would work, but it was done wonderfully. I love Tiana’s voice in this, the friendship between Tiana and Belle, and the how totally BAMF Tiana, Belle, and Mulan are. XD

Summary: He watches as Ping finds his horse and feeds it first one apple and then the other on flat, open palms. His hands are small, Shang notes. Better for a clerk than a soldier. And yet here he is, whispering into the horse’s neck as though he’s saying goodbye to a friend or sweetheart.

I really like Shang’s voice in this and the relationship between Mulan and her horse. Lovely. ♥

[Marvel - Steve/Tony] eleanor_lavish – Yes, Tony Stark, There Is A Santa Claus

Title: Yes, Tony Stark, There Is A Santa Claus
Author: eleanor_lavish
Rating: PG || Status: Complete
Summary:

Tony Stark doesn’t really give a shit about Christmas. I mean, sure, he’ll enjoy a glass of nog, and he’s always thought mistletoe was a great scam, but Christmas is about home and hearth and family and nostalgia and, let’s face it. The Starks had a lot of things, but not a lot for Tony to be nostalgic about.

This year, however, nostalgia is the name of the game. This year, Tony’s throwing a motherfucking party.

This is totally adorable! I love how single-minded Tony is about planning the dance and making it perfect and not realizing the problem with his gift and Coulson being awesome and stealthily fixing it. XD

Summary: Steve settles upon the few things he knows for sure: that the days are short, and it’s cold, and he doesn’t mind looking dumb for making the effort. So screw the protocol, whether it exists or not – he’s giving gifts.

This is absolutely lovely! ♥ Steve is totally the best gift-giver — I love all the thought he puts into each one and how well-suited they are.

Summary: Day 214 on the campaign trail of Steve Rogers for President. Twenty-sixteen’s turning out to be a hell of a year.

Archive:
AO3

This is totally awesome! I love Coulson’s voice in this and how totally BAMF he is, especially with all the ridiculousness he has to endure. (COULSON’S LIFE IS SO HARD!)

That doesn’t mean there aren’t protestors at every campaign stop. The peaceniks hate the very concept of a Super Soldier, and they hate Stark Industries’ record of weapon sales even more. At least a half-dozen can be trusted to show up at events with large, colored graphs nailed to wooden sticks, itemizing casualty counts. On more than one occasion someone’s used a stick to create more casualties, beaning a religious zealot or two on the head – the peaceniks might not like the source of Tony’s fortune, but they don’t think he’s going to hell for having sex with Rogers on a regular basis. There are the cryophobics, and dues-paying members of Americans Against Genetic Engineering, and representatives from People for Regular Metabolism. Veterans Against Mutants show up almost every time and get into shouting matches with contributors to the Bucky Barnes PAC, and there’s a small but dedicated band of imbeciles who keep campaigning for Doctor Doom as a write-in.

This part totally cracked me up, especially the People for Regular Metabolism, LOLOLOL.

I also like how the Clint/Phil romance. I don’t really ship Clint/Phil, but I like how it was quiet and sweet and obviously full of feelings. ♥

OMG, STEVE, WHY U SO ADORABLE?! I love how enamored he is by Tony and how distracted he gets and he walked into a glass door because he is ridiculously in love/lust. I also love that he goes to Pepper seeking advice on his feelings and the conversation they had. Basically, this is totally charming and gave me all the feelings. XD

OMG, ALL THE FEELINGS! I love little Tony and the letter he wrote to Santa. The fact that he included an afadavits is totally icing on the cake, LOLOLOL. ♥ And then Pepper finding the letter and Natasha sending it and the ending! Everything about this is so charming and adorable! ♥♥

I love Steve’s voice in this and his interaction with the various characters throughout. The first section with Bucky kinda broke my heart with Steve realizing his limitations. And then there was Steve researching all he could so he could be prepared for joining the war effort and I can totally see that. The section with Peggy is probably my favorite though because she is just so awesome and competent.

Summary: As far as Bucky’s concerned, neither Steve’s transformation or the events of the war have changed the friendship between them. However, when a mission doesn’t quite go to plan, he finds himself making a foolish decision that might change things forever.

Archive:

I really like Bucky’s voice in this and the history he has with Steve. The friendship between them is absolutely lovely. I also like the dynamic between the Howling Commandos and how well they work together. The romance part, after the kiss, kinda gave me secondhand embarrassment, but I like this fic overall.

OMG, THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER! I’ve never seen to the Michael Fassbender with Pugs tumblr before this, but it is kinda hilarious and awesome, LOL. I love Micheal Fassbender going crazy because of the pugs and his serial killer wall and James being totally amused by the entire situation. Also, the idea that MF w/ Pugs is run by an actual pug is perfect. XD

I’m not familiar with canon at all, but it’s totally readable without it. I love the twist of the Cinderella character actually being a man and how the Godmother expects the story to go and how it played out differently.
