SteveTony Weekly - April 21 - Week 16

Hi, all! Here’s the fic I read this week. Enjoy it and be sure to comment/kudos as you do! 

~

What Rough Beast by immoral_crow

Steve Rogers, super soldier. It’s amazing really that it takes them all so long to work out just what the serum can do… but given enough time all things become apparent. This is a story about love, and loss; the things we would do to be true to ourselves and true to our hearts; and the prices you must pay to do that.

(There is a more detailed description at the end, in case you want more warnings and spoilers)

you are all I was hoping for by xWinterDreamsx 

His life had been so much emptier without Tony in it, and he missed him. He missed him so much that he felt better being in his company for even a little while.

Rocky Road by sayah1112

Tony Stark has been kidnapped... again.

This time is different that the others, though, because his kidnappers are not interested in a ransom. They mean to kill him.

His only hope rests upon the smashed smartwatch on his wrist that doesn't seem to want to work. When a call finally goes through, it's to the last person in the world he wants to talk to.

His ex-boyfriend, Grant Stevens, who he put in his phone as FuckHead.

Senseless by Scavenge4Dreams

Blinded, deafened, exhausted, injured and afraid, Tony raised himself up into a defensive position, the knife coming up just like Nat had taught him.

“That had better fucking be you, Steve Rogers- it had better be you. Fucking disarm me. If you let me kill you, I swear I will be very, very pissed.” Tony snarled, sure it was Steve approaching. Had to be. Had. To. Be.

What if it wasn’t?

Maybe Tomorrow by scifigrl47

Tony Stark may well be the richest man in America. In the depths of the Great Depression, that's no small claim. When a plot is hatched for him to take in an orphan for a week, everyone knows it's a publicity stunt. No one knows it better than Officer Steve Rogers, but he's got a job to do, and he's going to do it. Doesn't mean he's going to approve.

Yes, it's an Annie AU.

Yes. That Annie.

SteveTony Weekly - April 14 - Week 15

Hi, friends! Here’s the fic I read this week. I hope you find something you like. Enjo a specific trope list being shared tomorrow as well! 

237 Years by treesramblings

“I’m sorry. I don’t know why I lost control like that. Please forgive me.” She bows before him even as her instincts scream to touch, take, eat.

“It’s okay, Miss Stark. My name is Steve Rogers. I’m—I’m so happy to meet you.”

She inches forward, trying to control herself, and sticks out a hand. He grasps it and his skin is warm, almost feverish, and Toni’s eyelids flutter.

“It’s nice to meet you, too. Natasha Antonia Stark. You—You can call me Toni.”

His smile is blinding and almost reminds her of the sun.

“Hi, Toni.”

my thoughts: this short little fic destroyed me so I’m sharing with y’all so it can do the same to you. Please come tell me what you think after you read it. 

Triskelion Crescent by seventymilestobabylon 

Steve Rogers runs a flower shop. Tony Stark owns a real estate company (eh, and it probably does other stuff too, like it's got "Industries" in the title) that's sniffing around Steve's neighborhood of Triskelion Crescent with an eye to building new developments. Triskelion Crescent fights back.

my thoughts: the story format was EXCELLENT, and the plot twist was heartbreaking, and i loved everything about this fic. EVERYTHING. 

sambar and scaffolding by seventymilestobabylon for eternalbreath 

Steve ran away from SHIELD when they unfroze him and then accidentally ended up in the same cooking class as Tony Stark. 100% fluffy nonsense birthday fic for my lovely friend Renay.

my thoughts: i have a soft for Tony calling Steve Brooklyn, and also for them cooking together. This was like catnip. 

Talking Bodies by itsallAvengers

Coincidentally, the physical effects of romantic and sexual desire match up very closely with the physical effects of fear. But it's not a problem-- it's not like anyone is going to be able to hear the way your heart speeds up, or see the minute dilation of your pupils, are they? They'd have to be some sort of Superhuman to do that.

And what's worse than a Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and concluding that you're in love with them?

A Superhuman hearing that quick pulse and seeing those dilated eyes and thinking you're terrified of them.

my thoughts: I want to wrap steve up in a hug and protect him. He’s so sweet and careful and still just jumps to all the wrong conclusions. I also really loved how his abilities were highlighted. 

Theory of Mind by seventymilestobabylon 

Or, five things Steve didn't let Tony buy him, and one thing he did

my thoughts: I love this. The way that Steve and Tony just don’t communicate well is really highlighted, and how desperately they care for each other is so tender.

SteveTony Weekly - April 7 - Week 14

Welcome to April, y’all. Here’s what I read this week--hopefully you find something to enjoy! 

all I ever knew of love by mistymountainking

For six months, nobody knew that Tony Stark and Steve Rogers were dating.

Which means no one knows they broke up six weeks ago.

***

a prompt fill for ishipallthings on tumblr, who asked for Steve/Tony + exes AU.

I really love the idea of Tony being the one frightened to go public, and especially the reasons behind it in this one. The pining was delicious and the angst made it all hurt in the best way possible. 

Some Kind of Personal War by sara_holmes

And Tony realizes that working out who the Winter Soldier used to be and who he is now are two entirely different things.

This and the next on the list need to be read in order, they’re a series featuring BuckyCap, Winter Soldier Steve and Tony trying very hard to help. All three are so in character it’s amazing, especially considering the twist to roles. I love the slow development to Steve and Tony’s relationship and how very earned it felt. 

I'll Draw this Line (and hope you take my side.) by sara_holmes

Steve Rogers is the Winter Soldier. He has his missions, he had his orders, he has his place in the world. If people would just stop reminding him about that time he was Captain America, it would be a lot easier to stay in that damn place.

Continuing the story from Steve’s POV, makes SKOPW seem like a walk in the park. This one hurts so much, y’all. But it’s definitely worth it to watch Steve’s journey. 

The Wrong Side of These Sheets by Demerite 

Tony keeps sleeping with his team mates. Or on them. Or next to them. Really, he just happens to sleep a lot in very close proximity to members of his team.

It's possible that Steve has come to the wrong conclusion about this, and Tony's complete and utter inability to act like a mature human being around Steve probably doesn't help matters.

At this point even Coulson wants to take action about this, because things are becoming, quite frankly, ridiculous.

MISUNDERSTANDINGS! BEDSHARING AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS and poor Steve being so confused and sad. It’s short and sweet and perfect. 

here to stay by meidui

Tony likes these damn kids even though they're a handful. Not his handful as much as they're Steve’s, mind you, but still.

He offers his help where Steve comes up short and he really is getting on great with the kids, but for some reason, Steve seems to tense up whenever he gets too close.

Steve being so protective and worried and Tony trying to make sense of it and help is everything to me. That they find their way without hurting each is even more. Read it.

SteveTony Weekly - March Podfic

Here are the podfics I listened to this month! I’m really enjoying podfic on my daily commutes--check them out and be sure to comment and kudos if you enjoy them! 

[podfic] The Act of Creation Will Be Your Salvation by reena_jenkins, scifigrl47

"When Tony Stark was seventeen years old, he built his first AI. On that day, he ceased to be his father's creation, and became a creating force in his own right.

That one act likely saved his life, and not always in the most obvious ways."

Smaller Without You [Podfic] by miss_marina95, paraka

The doctor pulled out the teacher's chair and sat across from Steve, his hands folded and his face solemn and kindly. "It happens once in a while," he said. His voice was soft and gentle, and irrationally, it made Steve angry. Such ugly news ought to be delivered in a more fitting tone. "The most likely cause is that your intended mate died before you were born or shortly after they were born, before the bond had time to fully form. It's called a Type C or a Type--"

Steve wasn't interested in the terminology. "Is that why I'm... like this?" He gestured down at his frail, sickly body.

"Probably," the doctor said. "There are some further tests we can give you, down at the hospital, to determine--"

"Why bother?" Steve growled, slumping back in his chair and crossing his arms. "My mate is dead and no one else is going to want me, not like this." Tears stung his eyes and he blinked them back furiously.

"It's also possible, though less likely, that you're a Type A -- firstborn of the pairing -- but that your mate has simply not yet been born," the doctor said.

Reputation [Podfic] by miss_marina95, paraka

Steve thinks Iron Man is trading sexual favors to Tony Stark for perks for the Avengers, and he's determined to protect his teammate.

[podfic] Ready, Fire, Aim by reena_jenkins

There's no "I" in "Avenger."

The Winged Soul [Podfic] by badfinch (Badfinch1), inukagome15

It wasn't until he was three that he realized he was different and no one else could see the wings. [Podfic version]

Hey I just saw that previous anon ask and wanted to say that your rec lists are something I look forward to each week, thank you for the work you do

Thanks, friend! I'm glad you are enjoying them!

#hey nonnie #mod answers

[stevetonyweekly]

hi! I just wanted to say, I just read that PASSIVE aggressive ask, and I’m very disappointed that someone is bringing that negativity to you and this page. While I don’t know your current situation (and you don’t owe us an explanation about anything !!!), I just wanted to let you know that your weekly recommendations, even if they are just ONE, make my week and give me something to look forward to. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for ANYTHING!!! Thank you for all you do for the SteveTony niche, take care of yourself, and know you are valued and appreciated.

I completely understand if you do decide to go on a pause, just know you will always have people supporting you, if not through sharing recommendations then through supporting your work and you as an individual.

Sending so much love and light your way💕

Thanks, friend. That means a lot. I mentioned in a rec list mid-March that between work, my kids and grad school, life is just extremely busy. Not BAD at all--but busy. I love this list and I dont want to pause it but if I have to I promise I'll eventually come back.

#hey nonnie #mod answers

[stevetonyweekly]

is there a reason why you don't comment or even leave kudos on some of the fics you rec?

Oh wow. Ok. A few things.

1. I read almost exclusively on my ereader which means I dont always go back and kudos/comment.

2. I run a rec blog that takes about 1.5hrs of time per list because I know I'm abysmal at kudos/comments.

3. I am already really low on time and between writing for the fandom and running the rec blog for the fandom, something has to give?? It's not perfect fandom etiquette but it's what I have spoons for.

4. Why are you stalking my comment/kudos habits?? That is...a bit more interest than I feel like you need to have in me, or that I'm comfortable with.

At the end of the day, I am a human with failings and limited time and I'm doing my best. Questions like this when so much of the rec list feels like shouting into the void AND I'm already debating pausing it while life is crazy busy is...discouraging and a little bit irritating.

SteveTony Weekly - March 31 - Week 13

Here’s what I read this week!! Check it out and be sure to comment and kudos as you’re reading! 

~*~ 

Never is a Promise by manic_intent

Steve had to admit that he had some reservations about how the New Century handled the social balance between alphas and omegas.

arei’s thoughts: I love this and the way that it twists A/B/O dynamics. The relationship builds so nicely.

Citation Needed by elwenyere, FestiveFerret

Historian Tony Stark has one year to get his book about WWII weapons technology under contract before he goes up for Full Professor at Stanley College. There's only one chapter left to finish, which is supposed to explain Peggy Carter's involvement with something called "Project Rebirth," but there are two problems: his trail of evidence goes cold every time he encounters references to an enigmatic soldier named Steven Rogers, and his stress levels shoot through the roof every time he runs into the endlessly frustrating new hire in Fine Arts, Dr. Grant.

arei’s thoughts: this is so lovely because the identity porn and Tony being so very--Tony. And the way  it all came out, I just love it so much. 

Counterpart by sara_holmes

coun•ter•part [koun-ter-pahrt] [noun] 1. a person or thing closely resembling another, especially in function. 2. a copy; duplicate. 3. one of two parts that fit, complete, or complement one another.

Just because Hydra used the DNA of a Captain America from another dimension to create a lab-grown, six-year-old super-soldier, it doesn't mean that said six-year old super-soldier is biologically Steve's, right?

(Where Steve wants to ban Clint from bringing things home from alternative dimensions, until he doesn't.)

arei’s thoughts: i’m a big fan of this fic and a lot of it is down to Steve’s characterization and how much he struggles with having a child thrust upon him. It’s so very in line with the headcanon I have of Steve that it was nice seeing it here. 

Wish List by scifigrl47

It's Valentine's Day, and that's a busy day when you run a high end restaurant. Or a food truck parked outside of a high end restaurant. Some things fall through the cracks, and your friends might just start to worry things are falling apart.

arei’s thoughts: I really love scifigrl47 and this verse in particular is a favorite--this is utterly gorgeous and super sweet. 

play it back slow by meidui

“I’ve finally got you right here. I don’t wanna go full steam ahead and crash this thing before I figure out how to drive it.”

“I thought you liked running risks,” Steve says, only very distantly aware that he might look like a disheveled mess right now and doesn’t have a lot of authority.

“Not on you,” Tony says firmly, and Steve knows that’s final because Tony doesn’t often use that tone.

arei’s thoughts: this was so soft and lovely. Tony’s determination to take things slow and Steve’s desperation to…not…it was just so lovely.

SteveTony Weekly - March 24 - Week 12

Happy Sunday, my friends! Check out this week’s five recs, and be sure to kudos and comment on the ones you enjoy! 

non functional requirements by lazywriter7

“Morning Tony.” Someone greets from close to the front row. Gwen, who’s waiting for her Macbook to complete its primeval, laborious booting up procedure, feels her shoulders sag even further down. God, not this shit again.

“Did your coffee machine explode again?”

“Implode, and no.” The lecturer – Tony – cracks a brief smile. The band t-shirt he’s got on is mostly just wrinkles, his hair flattened straight down the sides like it hasn’t been washed in a couple days. Really gives Gwen such an inspiring picture to look up to for her own prospective career in academia. “And just for that not-so-subtle commentary on my opening salvo today, I’m gonna teach this entire lecture using a metaphor.”

~

Gwen Stacy isn't having the greatest day, and that's before her System Designs Engineering professor starts explaining the material through the lens of his strained-sounding relationship. With his boyfriend in the audience.

arei’s thoughts: I really loved this. It’s outsider POV, and Steve is the ‘bad’ boyfriend in this, but they’re both trying--sometimes failing--to make things work. The way they lean into each other and learn from their mistakes is lovely. 

An Educational Experience (The Good Things Come To Those Who Wait Remix) by valdomarx 

Ults Tony has a nice day.

aka Tony talks Steve through sucking his cock.

arei’s thoughts: it’s no secret that I adore Ults and this one is so lovely, Steve is so grumpy and pining so damn bad if he’d get out of his own way, he could be SO HAPPY. And then it’s just hot. Check it out. 

take a long line by ShanaStoryteller

Steve knows that Tony Stark is going to be a problem from the first line in his file.

Designation: Alpha

arei’s thoughts: I love the a/b/o dynamics in this. The way that Steve kind of fumbled them on account of his coming from a different time, and the way Tony was so anxious to care for EVERYONE around him. The scene where he tries to feed Steve a sandwich is quite possibly the cutest thing I’ve read in months. 

Even the Score by Sineala 

After Tony risks his own life to save Steve from the deadly Bloodwash gas, he's in bad shape, and he needs immediate treatment. Thanks to the treatment, he doesn't quite remember what's going on, but he does remember that people have been trying to kill him and that he can't trust the government. Since the Secretary of Defense did try to murder both of them today, Steve can't exactly tell Tony he's wrong about either of those things -- but, unfortunately, Tony doesn't remember who Steve is. And, even more unfortunately, Steve taught Tony to fight.

arei’s thoughts: I love this fic. It’s a very simple plot and premise pulled from the comics but it’s just so well done, and I love seeing Tony competent and dangerous even without the suit. Sine’s characterization in this--on both Steve and Tony’s parts--is just so lovely and well done. 

pretty baited trap by Areiton

The first time Tony walks into the Trisk, he’s following Tiberius, his eyes downcast, a perfect five steps behind his Alpha. He’s wearing a suit, cut in traditional omega style, because he’s an asset, a part of the display of wealth and power as much as the car they arrived in and the expensive watch Ty is wearing, the deliberate slight of being late and the bottle of wine that hangs from three fingers, careless, like it’s not worth several thousand dollars.

It’s the same display Ty has put on a dozen and more times since they Bonded. The only thing that changes is the location, the Alpha that Ty is trying to impress.

Where Tony ends up. His role in the evening’s proceedings. Those are already determined. This is a business deal and he is the pretty baited trap.

arei’s thoughts: well, I wrote this one but. I’m adding it to the list because I kinda love it. It’s very soft, and a little dark, but the devotion that grows between Steve and Tony is…lovely.

SteveTony Weekly - March 17 - Week 11

So. I’ve been kicking this around for a bit, and here’s the truth: I’m exhausted and overwhelmed. With my current work load and grad school commitments, I can’t commit to what I usually read and I need to limit that so I’m not trying to meet some arbitrary goal I set for myself. I like to have 15 fics for y’all every week and that’s…not happening lately. I thought briefly about pausing the blog, or finding someone to help with weekly posts, and wasn’t loving either option, so here’s the new structure: 

Weekly Posts - 5 Recs 

Monthly Posts - 1st - Podfic Recs / 15th - Trope Specific Recs 

I think that’ll take some overall pressure off of me, and will keep the blog running while I’m crazy busy, so--hopefully y’all don’t mind a shorter list every week. 

Ok, that’s the updates--here’s this week’s fics: 

Phil Coulson Knows Tony Stark's Super Villain Name by scifigrl47

The only thing really stopping Tony Stark from attempting to conquer the world is that he wouldn't know what to do with it once he conquered it. He's still pretty sure he could do it, though.

SHIELD's pretty sure he could do it, too, and SHIELD is pretty uncomfortable with that. There's a plan in place, in case Tony makes a try for world domination, or any sort of caped super villainy. It involves Steve. No one is surprised.

This is not that plan. This is a training exercise, involving paint balls.

It might end with world domination, anyway.

A Furious Vexation by Annie D (scaramouche)

Tony gets an intruder. A post-apocalypse AU.

subject to change by eleadore 

Steve draws everyone but Tony. It’s nothing personal, really.

Lesson Two: Penalties of Cheating by 27dragons, sara_holmes

The first rule of Avengers Poker Night is: don’t talk about poker night. (Actually, it’s not. The first rule of poker night is to never let Natasha play.) Bucky thinks he might regret accepting Clint's invitation to join the game, because he's pretty sure there aren’t any other rules. He thought things couldn’t get much crazier than mealtimes with the Avengers. He was wrong.

Being Stubborn by Potrix

Tony is no stranger to people disliking him on sight, hating him with or without reason, but with Steve it’s different. There’s something about Steve, an invisible pull that draws Tony in, makes it impossible for Tony to take the easy way out.

He craves the confrontations with Steve, looks forward to them with an almost perverse glee, his head heavy and foggy with want. Tony wants, he needs. Wants it from Steve, needs it from Steve.

Whatever it is. Tony isn’t sure yet, but he’s determined to find out, no matter what. No backing down.

hey do you know any fics where steve and stephen are fighting over tony? kinda endgame/infinity war compliant

Yep! Although there's no guarantee when I'll read and I tend to only read completed works.

SteveTony Weekly - March 10 - Week 10

I’m late, I’m sorry! Spent all of yesterday in a haze of senior pictures for my kid, and I’m still not sure what day it is--ANYWAY! Here is this week’s reads--enjoy and be sure to drop a comment/kudos for your author! 

~

business affairs by meidui

It’s two years of wanting him the way he hasn’t wanted Emma since their honeymoon to the pearl of the Pacific, eighteen months of Steve slipping into his hotel suite on business trips away from the prying eyes of New York, and twelve months of staying late after the cleaning staff clock out because Steve will ride him behind his desk with the door unlocked.

my thoughts: i’m a sucker for infidelity fics, and this one is just--very soft and tony’s love of steve and conflict with Emma, and the way that he focuses on Steve’s emotions over Emma’s was everything to me. 

Clint Barton's Super Secret Snipers' Club by sara_holmes

Clint Barton's Super Secret Snipers' Club. (Invitation and pending mental health evaluation required.)

"When Steve brings Bucky back to the tower for the first time, Clint’s first thought is that Tony Stark’s pride and joy is quickly becoming a less of a very tall and expensive ‘fuck you’ in the faces of investors who don’t believe in self-sustaining energy, and more of a superhero rehabilitation center."

Boyfriends, compromises and learning to like oneself.

my thoughts: this is more focused on winterhawk than stevetony but what I LOVED about the stevetony background ship is how it looks at Steve as human, and the weight of juggling Bucky’s recovery and his ongoing relationship with Tony. Everyone of them--Steve, Tony, Bucky and Clint--are flawed and this fic doesn’t flinch away from that, but rather examines it in a real real and lovely way. The scene where Steve is sobbing in Tony’s lap is heartbreaking and beautiful. 

The Scars of Your Love by blue_jack

On the day Peggy moved out, Steve stood naked in front of the mirror and looked at all the ragged lines running over his body. He felt like someone had taken a knife to him, slicing every inch open, and he didn’t understand how there wasn’t any blood. He traced one particularly thick scar on his stomach, gritting his teeth against the pain, the memory of the first time he’d brought Peggy over to meet his family and all the teasing that had accompanied it burning through his mind. He couldn’t imagine her marks ever disappearing, and in that moment, he didn’t want them to, didn’t want to ever expose himself to that much hurt again. Once in a lifetime was enough.

my thoughts: oh this was so lovely. The idea of heartbreak causing physical scars was gorgeously executed.

Hot Stuff by sayah1112

Steve is an art major who can’t stop drawing his muse. The problem is his muse…is a stranger he met randomly on the street.

my thoughts: this Tony was so adorable and Steve was so besotted--perfection. 

Draw Me by sayah1112

“Draw me like one of your French girls, Cap.”

Tony, Steve thought with cheeks burning a brilliant shade of red that was bright and deep enough to match the shimmering paint of Ironman’s armor, was a little shit.

Such a little shit.

Only Tony could turn a lost bet into a punishment for the winning party.

Steve had won, he thought furiously as his hand moved across the parchment paper, the blunt pads of his fingers dusted with charcoal. His fingers sketched out a form that he knew from memory. That devious curl of a smile pulling at the corners of his lips, the way a lock of hair fell across his brow despite his best efforts to keep it tamed. The sharp line of his jaw, strong and willful, the arch of his brow as it lifted in mocking censure. Steve knew every curve and divot of that face from memory. Making this bet a really unnecessary one.

--

Or that one where Steve edges us all. A quick and dirty one-shot

my thoughts: I’m a sucker for artist Steve. It was delightful. 

The Storm by sayah1112

Steve and Tony haven't seen eye to eye in a long time. Once inseparable, the two can no longer stand the sight of each other. But when he gets a call from Natasha telling him that there is something seriously wrong with his ex-lover, Tony rushes out into the wilds of Maine to meet her.

Only...there's a blizzard. And when he finally reaches the cabin, it's not Natasha there waiting for him. But Steve himself.

Crafty Russian.

my thoughts: I super love the drop everything for my ex trope and this is EVERYTHING. 

with your own two hands by Thahire 

There’s nothing quite like sitting still and letting Tony shave him, careful, precise strokes against his jaw and throat. Nothing quite like carefully washing Tony’s lovely hair while he sits and chatters away about his newest invention.

Steve and Tony take a bath together after a hard day’s work.

my thoughts: 1872 is such a depressing verse for the most part, and this one was very soft and gentle and I loved it. 

The One That Got Away by lomku 

Steve Rogers wants to go on a coffee date. Maria Hill is out for the enemy’s blood. Tony Stark is arguing with himself about what to do with a certain super-soldier’s advances.

Oh, and the Skrulls are invading. Again.

my thoughts: oh this one. This was a better of a mindfuck and I really loved that because so few of them are. Read it. 

Leaves Me Wanting More by lomku 

“You’re compromised,” Romanoff tells him one day. Steve doesn’t look up from where he’s swirling the spoon in his coffee cup.

No shit, he thinks. He’s been compromised since he first met Iron Man, all these months ago. He’s been nothing but compromised.

my thoughts: Villain Tony!!! I love villain Tony and Steve being so damn soft for him. 

copacetic by starvels (dinosaur)

The man Tony spots across the market square looks just like Sheriff Rogers. When Tony catches up to the man, he moves just like Sheriff Rogers, touches Tony just like Sheriff Rogers, gets spitting mad just like Sheriff Rogers.

The problem is, Sheriff Rogers was murdered 4 months ago.

my thoughts: the 1872 angst I mentioned? Here it is. 

wolf like me by starvels (dinosaur) 

It's been a busy few days for Steve Rogers: he's been thawed from the Arctic decades after being frozen, battled a villain or two, joined a superhero team called the Avengers, and now been invited to come live at their new base of operations.

There's just one little thing they forgot to mention, and Steve can smell it the second he gets inside the mansion: there's another werewolf who lives inside.

my thoughts: I really love the sense of desperation that starvels conveyed in this and in steve finding someone like himself. It was gorgeous. 

Confessions by Neverever 

Tony is perfectly okay with his crush on Steve. But then Peter tells him that Steve might be in love with Tony. That can't be right, Tony thinks and needs to find out the true answer.

my thoughts: the oblivious pining is everything. Perfect. 

what a way to lose (all of you) by tinystark616 

On the night that the Superhuman Registration Act becomes law, Steve shows up in Tony's penthouse.

my thoughts: love this angsty beautiful sad thing. 

The Billionaire Hooker's Deceived Artist by tsukinofaerii

During Tony's senior year at MIT, his partying habit finally hit the edge of his parents' patience. When Howard and Maria cut him off from his usual sources of money, he decides to turn to less conventional ones.

my thoughts: This is a reread, but a favorite. Love the identity porn and just how soft both of them are.

Stevetony Weekly - March 3 - Week 9

Here’s what I read this week. If you haven’t checked out the February podfic list, be sure to check that out as well! As always, be sure to leave comment/kudos for your authors. 

~*~

Unintended Side Effects by AvengersNewB for sabrecmc

Steve has to go to the ER with a rather embarrassing problem - thankfully Dr. Stark takes excellent care of him.

If Through a Door by jibrailis

Tony is accused of murder on an alien planet; Steve marries him to bring him home.

there are still beautiful things by meidui

The day Tony takes Steve home from the New York Army National Guard is the best day of his life.

years we held on to by Areiton 

It happened like this--

He put the Valkyrie down, and he didn’t even mind, knew damn well it meant he’d die and he was almost grateful. They’d burnt Hydra out of Europe and the Nazis were being beaten back--the war was almost over.

What use was there, for the world’s only super soldier, when the world knew peace?

He put the Valkyrie down and he didn’t die.

(my heart is burning) holes in the ground by felisnocturna

In the end, it's a scent that leads them back home, like Ariadne's thread in a labyrinth of illusions.

Riders On The Storm by CaughtAGhost (ghosthan), ghosthan

"I don't think help is coming."

 Tony falls into a hole he can't claw himself out of.

and that's how it works by complicationstoo 

Steve is on the other side of the door, a small smile on his face and a plastic bag in his hand that he lifts up into the air to show. “I brought reinforcements.”

Tony steps back to let him in and asks, “Who told you?”

“Your boyfriend told me,” Steve confesses, then amends, “Ex-boyfriend.”

Something Beautiful by Annie D (scaramouche)

In one universe sideways, it’s 2012 and the Avengers have just defeated Loki and the Chitauri. Steve Rogers, who has been out of the ice for almost ten years, wonders if his retaking the shield for this event was a one-off, or if he’s ready to keep it again. It depends on Tony.

Pasta Pains by KandiSheek

Steve's pasta is an insult to Tony's heritage, and he's not going to take it lying down. Luckily the rest of the team is used to their squabbling.

talk just right by meidui

The most Tony hears Steve talk is when they argue, but hand to god, that's not the reason Tony keeps picking fights with him.

Well, maybe a little.

Beautiful Mistakes by tinystark616 

Steve helped Tony with his most recent heat, which was clearly a mistake, because now Tony is avoiding him.

The problem? He's in love with Tony.

The other problem? Iron Man, his best friend in the whole world, is also avoiding him.

dream come true by tinystark616

Steve likes to think that their last mission made them grow closer somehow, that Tony was truthful when he said he doesn't resent Steve anymore, and that now that the mission is done and Tony is recovering well, they can have another shot at being friends.

Or,

Steve and Tony become very close after the events of Avengers: Endgame, and Steve realizes that "the simple life" Tony told him about long ago is something that he wants, and he wants to live it with Tony.

give you everything by tinystark616 for oluka (lomku)

Steve really likes how Tony looks in the Iron Man armor.

SteveTony Weekly - February Podfic

I got distracted by the podfic of one of my favorite series in a different ship, so this month’s podfic list is not terribly long, but hopefully you enjoy it anyway! Be sure to give a comment/kudos to your podficcer and authors! 

~*~ 

[Podfic] Never Too Late For Love by Cathalinareads (Cathalinaheart)

Steve has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing -- a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch. Steve knows he's not going to be one of the lucky ones. He knows Gail isn't his soulmate. But he loves her, even if they're not soulmates, and he's going to do right by her. After the war's over, he's going to marry her, and they're going to settle down. They'll buy a house. They'll have children. He'll see his family again. Maybe Bucky will live next door. It's going to be a good life. He doesn't need a soulbond. He'll be fine without one.

Then Steve wakes up sixty years in the future to find that his wonderful life has moved on without him. His family is long dead. His fiancée married his best friend. And the only purpose he has left is leading the Ultimates, a misbegotten team of superheroes with flaws too numerous to count. Steve hates everything about the future -- but most of all he detests Tony, flashy and flirtatious, who embodies everything Steve hates about a world he never wanted to live in.

And, oh, yeah, Steve has a soulmate after all: Tony fucking Stark.

[podfic] Degrees of Separation by plingo_kat, reena_jenkins for kalakirya

Oh god, what if Jarvis infected Dummy with, with emotions. Jesus Christ.

Love Is A Masquerade [Podfic] by paraka for Cathalinaheart

When the Avengers are invited to attend Tony Stark's Annual Masquerade Ball, Steve's hoping Iron Man will be there--after all, he can wear a mask and keep his identity secret. So when Steve recognizes Iron Man's distinctive thighs, Steve is SO sure he's found Iron Man's pilot... He's right, but not in a way Steve would ever have guessed...

[Podfic] Veridicality by hopelesse for Sineala

When Steve is accidentally exposed to a truth serum, Tony learns that Steve has been keeping a lot of feelings hidden.

[Podfic] Right All My Wrongs by Amanita_Fierce

Tony needs to clean up his act. Fury has a suggestion. Steve has a proposal.

[Podfic] Your Name on Every Wall by The_Casual_Sounds (the_casual_cheesecake)

The Time Gem throws Steve into the past rather than the future, and in doing so, it gives him the opportunity to undo his past mistakes. But when it turns out that all of his mistakes involve Tony Stark, Steve begins to wonder if he's ever going to be able to mend things between them.

[podfic] Appraise Valuable Assets -> Launce Opportune Navigation (AVALON) by Albuss for gottalovev

The plan was that no one but Tony would know about the AVALON protocol until it was needed. Steve finds out and he's pissed.

Stevetony Weekly - February 25 - Week 8

I read so many fics this week! Take a look and make sure to leave a comment & kudos for the fic you’ve read! 

*

Make It Rain by copperbadge 

Steve Rogers is SO DONE with global warming.

Thems by copperbadge

Steve discovers a secret simulation on the game server.

Lead and I'll Follow by Woad 

Under orders, Captain Rogers prepares for a gala by taking dance lessons. He's not sure how Fury persuaded Adventurer Tony Stark to give said lessons, though.

For comm prompt: For one night, Steve and Tony try to forget there's a war going on as they slow dance, alone in a cozy room.

acceptable alien behaviours by brucewaynery

Tony stares in disbelief as their golden retriever puppy, Dodger, flies, honest-to-god flies towards Loki.

(aliens)

The Great American Road Trip by SmileAndASong

“You know, when you said you were going to take me on a romantic vacation, I sort of thought the transportation was going to be…well, not this,” Tony said, gawking at the monstrous RV in front of him because, wow, it sure was a sight to behold and definitely not in a good way.

[AKA, Steve coerces Tony into taking a cross-country road trip]

jock-speak by brucewaynery

Steve, as with everything, dances gracefully, with the control and precision Tony's seen on the football pitch. It's enchanting, watching him fly across the dance floor, oblivious to the world, Tony's never been more in love.

(slow dancing, happy steve bingo)

ruining my plans by tinystark616 

Steve likes to wake up in the morning and go for a run. This morning, Tony has other ideas.

Relinquish command by Arwen88

Steve comes back after a mission guilt-ridden and needs Tony to help him out clear his mind.

lay your pretty head down by meidui

He knows this is what vulnerability looks like with Steve: rolling over and showing him where it hurts, letting Tony look past the polite, authoritative demeanor he puts on around everyone else and admitting where he's soft and weak and craves affection.

Peaches for Daddy by darefanny

”Jesus”, Tony said, obviously impressed. ”Okay. What do you want, sweetheart?”

Steve didn’t miss a beat. He let Tony’s finger fall out of his mouth, kissing the side of his palm instead.

”I want daddy to take care of me”, he said, staring at Tony from under his long lashes.

Don't You Want Me? by KandiSheek 

Steve and Tony's relationship is new enough that they're still keeping it under wraps. Which is why it's supremely awkward when Tony has to fend off Steve's drunken advances in front of the rest of the team. Apparently their relationship isn't going to be a secret for long.

Headfirst Into Danger by KandiSheek

Steve takes a bullet for Tony. Tony doesn't appreciate it in the slightest.

Team Building Activities by valtyr 

Fury's a beautiful princess. Clint's plotting a Communist revolution. Rhodey's not sexy. Wall-E's not a documentary. Clint's not gay but he does give a great blowjob. This fic is not an AU.

I Know There is Comfort Where We Overlap by jellybeanforest 

As a relic of a bygone era, Steve struggles with feelings of isolation and severe depression made worse by his recent breakup with Jan Pym. He secretly hooks up with random strangers chasing a sense of connection with someone, anyone. Things are going (not) well when he and fellow Ultimate, Iron Man, are tasked with infiltrating a Thai resort serving as a front for illegal arms dealing. Only catch: They must go undercover as a married couple on their honeymoon.

Stevetony Weekly - February 18 - Week 7

Hello, my loves, I’m home! I’m home and I read things and I’m here to share it with you. Be sure to leave your fic authors comments and kudos as you read! 

~*~ 

Two roads diverged by RurouniHime

His eyes haven’t adjusted and it’s too dark to see Steve’s expression. 

In which there is a farm, a porch at night, and two kinds of grief.

Daddy by orphan_account

Tony's brow quirked up, but his expression simultaneously went crestfallen. "What would you do to pay me back if you had the means?"

Steve suddenly envisioned himself on his knees for Tony, sucking his cock with passion.

He blushed. "Uh--I don't know, I guess-"

"No. Uh, uh, don't lie to me. You're blushing. I can see the mischief in your eyes. Come on, what would you do for Daddy to pay him back for all the nice things he bought you?"

If Steve was blushing before, he was sure his cheeks were bright red now. God, this was so embarrassing. Was he really so transparent?

Taking a shuddering breath, Steve went to his knees. He turned his head to make sure the door was still locked, then swallowed his pride. He would be swallowing something else in a second.

"God, Steve--I didn't think--Jesus. Have you done this before? You don't--you don't have to prostitute yourself for me or anything, I was just teasing. Holy Christ-"

"Tony," Steve said firmly, looking into Tony's eyes, "I want this. Would you give me that...Daddy?"

Let Loose On Me by thepretender501

It all starts innocently enough. Well, as innocent as you can get when you’re Tony Stark and you’ve got a lap full of squirming Captain America riding you like—okay, scratch that, it doesn’t start innocently at all.

Spoiled Rotten by kehinki

It doesn't take a whole lot of convincing to get Steve to call him 'daddy'.

Let Them Eat Cake by BladeoftheNebula

‘Alright Marie Antoinette, let’s talk about why people without trust funds can’t always be going around dropping hundreds of dollars on a fancy fucking cake’

Steve is a popular baking vlogger who spends his days making vintage recipes and inspiring people to bake.

Until he's sent a video of a certain tech heir disrespecting the fine art of cake making and calls him out.

Say My Name by citsiurtlanu

Steve reminds Tony that there's more to him than the war his weapons were used in.

i would always be yours by tinystark616

When Tony wakes up in the hospital after the snap, he finds out about two things: One, he's lost his right arm, and two, Steve wants to stay with him.

New Awakenings by scottxlogan

After the battle against Thanos the world faces the end of Tony Stark, but Steve Rogers can't and won't accept that fate. When Steve takes matters into his own hands by revealing a secret part of himself to save Tony, what will the future hold in store for them?

Raindrops Like Roses by Auggusst for iseult1124

When the power in their apartment goes out on a rainy day, Steve and Tony reminisce about their chance meeting a few years ago and show each other a little TLC on the couch. Who knew power outages could be so romantic and sexy?

My piece written for this year's Marvel Trumps Hate event!

The Jar by Sineala

The Avengers are ridiculously competitive people, and what starts out as a silly late-night team discussion quickly becomes a contest: their names. Not the code names -- the nicknames. Who can go the longest without using them? They pledge to spend a week not nicknaming each other, and they'll pay up every time they mess up. This hits Tony the hardest, and not just financially. Tony's got a lot of nicknames for everyone, but most of all for Steve -- and when Tony can't use the names he's already got, the names he uses reveal feelings he had no idea he had.

The New (New) Normal by copperbadge

Tony has a thing about germs. Steve understands it a lot better after seeing him sick. Though he could still use some help understanding why he's so annoyed that Rhodey's the one who got to bring Tony soup....

Initiative by affectionatehomosexual (premiumjimin) for pitchernum1

Tony’d always been told that there were two types of people in the world: people that drink with you and people that make you wanna drink.

Steve Rogers falls undeniably into the second category.

*Tony's a photographer who lets something slip during a shoot. It's a surprisingly effective catalyst for a pretty stellar relationship*

out of the cold by meidui

“No,” Steve begs again, his voice grinding in Tony’s ears. “Don’t let them, Tony!”

He’s breaking Tony’s heart, the way he’s desperately seeking an ally in him, delirious from his fever and begging to be spared from some suffering, but they have done everything else they could and none of it has made a dent in this murderous fever. There’s a reason they waited until they exhausted every single one of their other options before bringing up an ice bath: they all knew what this would do to Steve. They knew what they would be putting him through, but this is the last and only resort. It’s this or risk letting the next eight hours take his life.

Wilt Thou Exchange by twentysomething 

"The first time Steve meets Toni is about a week after he wakes up."

Steve Rogers' Life Is Not A Romance Movie (He Wouldn't Get The References, Anyway) by someonelsesheart

Steve hasn't always had this ridiculous crush on Tony Stark.

(Or, the one where Steve is his polite old self and doesn't really hate Tony Stark (unfortunately), Tony is a child progidy and apparently a cab driver now, too, and high school is still high school, even when you are the son of a billionaire.)

The More Things Change by cookinguptales 

Steve's not entirely sure how seduction works nowadays, but he's learned from the best.

Stop: Hammertime! by youcancallmearrow

When some asshole (*cough*Hammer*cough) puts out a hit on Tony, what are three translators, two security strategists and a Photoshop expert going to do about it?

Turns out, a whole hell of a lot.

The Corruption of Captain America by the Villain Tony Stark by ladililn

Iron Man paused. “Oh my god. You thought I was a robot.”

“No, I—” Steve felt his face flushing. “I…considered the possibility,” he admitted.

“You thought I was a robot who’s been hitting on you.”

“Is that really so crazy?” Steve felt an inexplicable need to defend himself. “In the forties, I fought a Nazi with a skull for a head.”
