stained glass iron man by [livejournal.com profile] tripperfunster
Why I liked this: it's iron man in stained glass. enough said. it's the second one she's made, the first one is here. i love glass art and i also love fandom stuff made in untraditional ways. and seriously, a stained glass iron man? i want to make one now. (it bears saying that she made one of castiel as well, but i don't think it's as pretty as the iron mans. iron man has a lot of straight lines and sharp angles to begin with, which lends itself easily to glass art.)

Summary: How Daken got a pet killer of his own, accidentally became domestic, and very accidentally became a hero who risked everything to save thousands of lives.
Why you want to read this: I've got to say straight off the bat that reading this fic was an experiment on my side. this is a ship i don't know the canon for. all i know about bullseye is from the daredevil movie and issues #10 and #11 of deadpool. this is not much (but helpful when a bit in the fic referenced a specific event from those issues and i knew what they were talking about, haha). all i know about daken is from fanart on my tumblr dash and from bits and pieces i've picked up on online (like, i know his origins). i was introduced to the ship via someone i follow on tumblr who ships them, so fanart. and frequent feels. ANYWAY, the experiment part was this: it's a ship that intrigues me and that i figured i'd try to read fic for before getting into the canon. it might just work, right? there's also the fact that I found this while looking for wade/nate fic and this showed up in the tags, so that's the only reason why i picked this one fic over any other fic.
So, this fic promised me D/s and fluff/domesticity, which are good things in my book. You get Daken as the Dom and Bullseye (Lester) as the sub (the pet). it's a dynamic that I think it's super interesting, but also because the premise of this fic is that Daken seemingly set this up - Bullseye frequently mentions Stockholm Syndrome in relation to his feelings towards Daken. The interesting thing is that Daken then falls into his own trap and is kind of hopelessly in love. good stuff.
Why you don't want to read this: this reads like a comic book that ties into a bigger event that you haven't read the books for. (at first i couldn't figure out if it was genius or just really fucking annoying.) If you want to, you can follow the links in the author notes to each chapter to catch up, read the fics parallel or afterwards or first, whatever you like. i checked out the writer's works and they suffer from circular ficitis, so basically everything is linked. the daken/bullseye relationship arc is pretty closed, as in, at the point where the fic stops, you know where they stand. plotwise, things are kind of really big and you're left with no resolution. (you'd have to find that in the other fics, i guess.) i'm not particularly bothered by the plot and as since i got what i came for relationshipwise, i'm all set with this fic as it is. cable/deadpool is so much a background/side pair that i don't know why they even exist in the tags.
