Summary: The Avengers, led by Tony Stark, have been kicking around the Williamsburg scene for a couple of years now. When bassist Pepper Potts finds them a new guitarist who completely changes their sound, they also get the attention of SHIELD Records' top A&R guy, Nick Fury.
But on the bill with The Avengers on their big night is Spies Become Soldiers, formed by Williamsburg vets Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton, who wanted to take their music in a new direction. They've only been playing together a few months, but they've already got a lot of buzz surrounding them, and the songs to back it up.
So Fury sends them both out on tour, an extended battle of the bands for the one remaining slot in a SHIELD showcase at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin. Which band will end up with the spotlight and record deal? Will they kill each other trying to get there, or be too distracted by romance to bother with fighting? Or is it really all about the music, man?

Notes: Written for marvel_bang, so first thanks go to the lovely mods for running this big bang! Thanks also to amyamy, verity and earlofcardigans for reading early drafts and giving me direction, and to everyone who listened to me yammering about the concept. Stevie in particular was a lot of help in thinking about the music itself. And of course, thanks to ali_wildgoose who is basically the best and most patient beta ever.
End notes detail the music referenced in this story.

Summary: Four people, six first kisses.

Notes: Some OT4 action originally written for foxxcub's kissing meme.
Six Thomas Dolby songs provided the inspiration for each of the kisses (hence the title). I'll note all the quotes at the end.
