Yeah, the structure could have used some work - I would have liked to pick it about a little more, but the deadline thwarted me.
I read every sex scene where Steve is "under the influence", as it were, as pretty much one way, and then once Steve was in his right mind again, in another. I got the feeling it was deliberate, since Steve mentioned something along those lines, but I still went 8||| at a lot of it.I'm afraid I don't understand this sentence? I'm really interested as to what you have to say about this, especially as you found it skeevy, but I can't quite see what you're getting at? Could you explain a little more

Ah, I see! Sorry, it makes sense to me now. They only have sex once while he's totally unaffected by the pheromones, right at the end, as Jessica's perfume is only effective against her 'basic' pheromones - I assumed he'd be putting them out stronger while aroused as well as when stressed. And yes, it's different.
So does the skeeviness for you lie in the fact that most people took it pretty much in stride? (sorry to be so picky, but I'm planning to rewrite it; so I'd quite like to understand how it's working for you)
I actually did not see the pheromone thing coming! so I was really delighted at how neatly it all came together. And I especially enjoyed the teamyness of it, especially Peter and Emma (and Emma roping Peter into doing publicity shots for the X-Men. I would love to read that story). Great fun.
Oh good, I'm glad it works both ways! (I mean whether the reader knows or not.) I do like the New Avengers team, they have such fun dynamics. Thanks for reading!
It's been a long time since I read a fic that was as purely fun as Conjugate! I loved the concept - but the best part was the banter and interaction among the characters. I kept track of my favorite exchanges; forgive me, this will probably get pretty long.

I was going to go all Serious Fic for Serious Challenge, but I appear to have a deficiency, so, yeah. :) I'm glad it was fun!
I adore team and ensemble pieces, just because I like to see the characters play off each other. Good to know I'm not the only one!
The side of the building sex was totally unnecessary and keeping it in was pure self-indulgence. So I'm glad you enjoyed it, as I feel less guilty now...
I really enjoyed this, from the way everyone reacted to their new powers, to the relationship between Steve and Tony. It was a lovely mix of plot, & fun, with enough just angst and darkness.

My first thought was totally that Tony had gotten breast implants.
Anywho, loved this fic!
