Went into a recent Cap America binge/MCU Binge. Here are some short, decent oneshots I found to kill time. Sorry for doubles.
The Sky and Everything Beneath it
Steve goes on a road trip to clear his head, but the other Avengers won't leave him alone.
The Scoop
The week after I moved to New York City, aliens invaded. Which is pretty much typical.
Mono
He kisses her like it’s the end of the world. And then he dies, and it is, and Peggy starts counting the years in terms of A.S. After Steve. And then she gets to 5 A.S and realizes she hasn’t aged a day, and it occurs to her that kiss might have been more important than she thought. Peggy/Steve and a happy ending.
Interdimensional Incidents
When Steve Rogers saw Sif of Asgard chop a Frost Giant's head off, love was sure to follow.

It's just your typical Boy Meets Goddess story.
The Care and Feeding of Traumatized Ex-Assassins
Steve starts to notice someone's been in his apartment while he's not there. Set after Winter Soldier; spoilers.
A Night On The Town
The thing is, Steve Rogers spent a hell of a lot of time getting beat-up in back-alleys before the serum. He was always the plucky little guy getting his ass handed to him, determined not to back down for anybody, and the only thing the serum changed about that was that instead of having his ass handed to him he started handing other people theirs.

Tony Stark takes Steve and Bucky out for a night on the town. Possibly he regrets this.

Strawberries In Wintertime

"Everyone we know is trying to kill us," Natasha said as soon as he opened the door.

Sam opened his mouth.

"Just kidding," she went on, perfectly deadpan but now with the faintest trace of a smile.

"Steve, you need new friends."


Or, how Sam's apartment turns into a hangout for superheroes, spies, and rogue assassins.
Next New Message
"YOU HAVE THIRTY. SEVEN. NEW MESSAGES," Clint Barton's phone announces. That can't be good.

Spoilers for The Winter Soldier.
The Personal (Assistant) Is Political
Steve Rogers gets a personal assistant to deal with media.


“That’s an awfully tall pedestal to put a fellow on,” Steve says. “Betcha it gets pretty windy up there.”

Comrades

Five times Thor defended his friends from people who should've been on their side, and one time his friends defended him.
Mind the Cap
In the hospital, Sam Wilson waits for Steve to wake up - and in the meantime, he's got some company. And not just your average trickle of well-wishers. No. Turns out it's freakin' Grand Central Station beside Captain America's sick bed.
They have questions, and he doesn't have a lot of answers. After all, he's just the guy who arrived in the middle of the plot. But somehow he still manages to say the right things, because when it comes down to it they're all on the same team.
OR
The story of how the Avengers alternately interrogate, pester, and adopt Sam Wilson.

hbo presents

HBO decides to make a Band of Brothers-esque Howling Commandos war series. Bucky, Steve, and the rest of the Avengers watch together in horror/fascination.

Gone Too Soon

A victim should not grieve his murderer, however unsuccessful the attempt.
Tony Stark, and the process of grieving Obadiah Stane.
(Or, five times Tony grieved for Obadiah, and the one time he stopped pretending to.)
Bucky And Mister Rogers
Bucky accidentally becomes a surrogate brother to half the neighborhood, purely via the power of PBS.
.

if this is home
Steve Rogers keeps waking up in the wrong place
A Woman Of Edges
"I’m beginning to think you’re the most terrifying woman I’ve met." Learning to like, live with, and love Maria Hill. SteveMaria
Find You in the Morning Sun
Sometimes Natasha can’t think about the stars and stripes of Steve’s costume without seeing red and yellow dance behind her eyelids.

Steve is having trouble adjusting to life in his brave new world. Natasha helps him as best she can.
Black Amex
Bruce isn't sure he wants to use a credit card Tony gave him. Steve isn't sure he even knows how.

Source Code

Steve finds himself in the unenviable position of having to either prove he's himself or listen to the news media continue to speculate that he's a robot, a clone, or a lunatic.
Another Sky

It was telling that people kept briefing him on Steve Rogers. Spoilers for Captain America: the Winter Soldier.

Leviticus 25

"You want to save Bucky Barnes? You are going to have to put your own house in order first because he is going to need a rock to cling to. You are not ready to be that rock for him. You owe it to him -- and more importantly, you owe it to yourself -- to figure things out, figure out how you can be happy in this time and place, whether or not Barnes is with you."

No Angel

The flightpath of Sam Wilson from Afghanistan to DC.

Home Fires

Gregg Quill has never heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy. He just misses his grandson.
Revisionist History
He writes the book as a coping mechanism. The Adventures of Star-Lord isn't a best seller, but it does help Gregg Quill get over the loss of his daughter, his grandson: helps him pick back up and keep on living. He doesn't expect, almost thirty years later, to find that his little Star-Lord has grown into the galaxy's Star-Lord. He doesn't expect to have the story come to life before him, in the flesh: with a few crucial revisions. He certainly doesn't expect Peter to come back home.
Found Family
"Where did it come from?"

"I am Groot," Groot declares.

"Who would just hand you a baby?!"

If He Had Just Stayed
Gregg Quill hasn't been much of a grandfather to his grandson. He's going to make it up to him.

Just as soon as they find him.

They will find him. No, they won't
 
How Two Asexual Gods Got By

Author's summary

Loki and Sigyn are to be married. Problem is, neither of them is interested in having sex. Ever. But they will be required to have sex on their wedding night while Witnesses listen in at the door. This will require some plotting.
A crack fic about Loki/Sigyn inadvertently tricking Asgard into thinking they have a hardcore dom sex life and the happy couple's reactions to everyone else's reactions. Nothing explicit, only implied.

Bro-hood and Other Drugs

Author's summary

Plenty of people get themselves blackout drunk and wake up with an unexpected husband. It's embarrassing but it happens. Natasha is trying to figure out how she could have woken up with an unexpected brother
Crack fic about Natasha and Loki becoming blood brothers.

Fight or Flyte

Author's summary

From a prompt at norsekink: Give me Loki seeking Tony out during battles just to finally have someone worthwhile to banter/flyte with.

Which is all well and good until Tony breaks his arm.
Crack fic - Loki pitches a fit when he can't trade insults with Tony.

My Mother Would be a Falconress

Author's Summary

Loki is her consolation prize.

He is the last thing she expects when her husband returns from his wars, reeking of blood and unwashed leather, but the paternal instinct can soften even the most battle-hardened warrior. As he stands before her, clasping the Jotun-blue baby in his arms, the mighty All-Father looks as anxious as a mother cat trying to nurse a duckling.

Frigga puts out her hands, accepts him for what he is: a replacement for the son Odin has claimed as his own. A prize, looted from the battlefield by the All-Father himself.

She looks down at the squalling, alien child, already made fretful by the heat of the room, and thinks: yes. This one will be mine.
A darker take on Frigga and Asgard.

Queen of Lies

Author's Summary

Based on the deleted scene from Thor 2 where Thor tells Frigga she shouldn’t be sending books to Loki, that he’s given up on Loki and she should too.
Another dark take on Frigga and Asgard. Frigga tries to teach Thor that by comparison, Loki isn't that bad and a good relationship with him must be maintained.


Also searching - having re-watched Thor and Thor: The Dark World, Sif and the Warriors Three have racked up three separate accounts of high treason - first against Odin by going to Jotunheim with Thor and Loki, second against Loki to retrieve Thor, and third against Odin again to help Thor. Are there any fics that address any of these acts of treason - a simple calling them out for it, or a trial, or punishment? Heck are there any that address Heimdall's outright murder attempt/regicide attempt on Loki?

There are a ton of these for Loki, but they've gotten a little old so I'm branching out and haven't had much luck so far.

Liked the attempt but all the homo-lust thing is old hat by now. Boring.

Its been done much better in other fics. Like the Mr. Rodgers one.

Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment is kind of the default comic recommendation here. Also, Doctor Doom and the Masters of Evil because it's pretty funny.

Never really liked how Doom is portrayed in most comic fanfics I have read.
