100 days of enemy recs: 44. Ant-Man

Okay this one is slightly less epoch-defining than the last two. But Scott Lang/Jimmy Woo is just so good? It's got the Clint/Coulson dynamic except they have more on-screen flirting interaction and there's also less canon you have to to ignore and they're more interesting. The disaster superhero trying to earn down the red in his ledger x the straight-laced federal agent with hidden depths who is supposed to be keeping an eye on him! (but possibly slightly less of an eye on his ass.) (nice ass though)

Unlike Clint/Coulson, Scott is not being run by the feds, he's serving a house arrest sentence for unlicensed superheroing and then once he finishes the house arrest still completely banned from any superheroing indefinitely, so there is a lot of Scott trying to sneak around Jimmy and Jimmy trying to get away with letting him get away with stuff while still not letting him get away with the stuff he really shouldn't be getting away with, but without having to put him back under arrest. It is very fun! And has a high proportion of very good fic.

That's mostly because there's only a few dozen fics total, but there should be more, and anyway I needed a break after the last couple of days! And this is a tag I go to when I just want good comfortfic.
