Why I Loved It: Okay, so genderswap doesn't always do it for me, but this shot instantly to the top of the list of those that do. Honestly, just so so good in all kinds of ways (duh. There's a reason some authors are a must read whatever fandom they meander into haha). I was initially really taken by the title because omg yes, what a perfect spin on things.

And then the little tweaks to canon that come from the gender swap are awesomely done too. I particularly enjoyed the take on Tony's relationships with Pepper and Clint (Carl from legal! Yes to all of this!!) The changes never feel awkward or shoe-horned in, but at the same time, Tony is still very much Tony. Just a chick. A badass, awesome, kind of asshole chick. And she knows it. And so does Steve. But he is dumbface in love anyway.

Go read. Genderswap done so, so, sososo right.
