        When you consider that 50 Shades of Grey is actually Twilight fanfiction, i think it’s safe to say it’s past the point of it becoming “mainstream”.

        Fan Fiction Friday. I only read it in the two weeks that it was on io9, and it was horrendously glorious.

        This is where I found the IM/CA feeder fic (that, let’s face it, is probably the one referenced here) with references to Steve’s necrophilia fetish.

        Burn the Internet.

          Why would that be the one mentioned here? There’s roughly five hundred kajillion IM/CA fanfics out there, most of which are “and they had impossibly good sex, the end”.

            Agreed. Plus, I’ve read a lot (a lot) of Marvel fanfic, most of it IM/CA, and that description isn’t ringing any bells. So I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s not one of the best known ones, io9 aside.

          Lemme put it this way: there are official comics that heavily imply something is going on (see: the Tony’s Abusive Boyfriend Armor storyline).

          The fanfiction flows like water.

            As hilarious as the whole Living Armor debacle was, I’m not sure it can top Red Zone or certain parts of Civil War for slash potential. Remember the time they were married in an alternate universe? Or the time Tony nearly killed himself giving Steve CPR? Yeeeeeah.

      I dated a yaoi fangirl once. She actually stopped looking at the stuff when we were in a relationship since she didn’t need it for kicks. Resumed once the relationship ended. Perhaps Amber realizes she needs the fix if Amazi-Girl gets the action? BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

    I’ve just spent the last four days rereading the entire archives of the walkyverse and just wanted to jump in and mention seeing Dina even in this incarnation still makes me go all T_T. She’s like my favorite character, probably because in her personality from IW I see a lot of how I was when I started college. She didn’t get to grow out of it though

    In the first panel, Dina looks like she’s just been maced. Or she’s impersonating a dinosaur with stalks for eyes.

    And in the last panel, she’s impersonating Mr. Burns. “Now that she’s asleep, my diabolical plan can begin!”
