SteveTony Weekly - The Best of 2023

We made it to the end of the year!! I read…a lot. A lot. According to my records, I read: 

1300 fic 

15million words 

98% of that was SteveTony and narrowing that down to my favorite 10 was…a mission. Here you go--And I’d LOVE to hear what your favorite reads of the year was. 

~

Trust Fall by Sineala

Tony needs someone who cares about him, bandages, a jacket, ibuprofen, dinner, a lasting romantic relationship, a nice time in bed, and assistance committing federal crimes. He gets them. In that order.

Gather Ye Rosebuds by lazywriter7

It isn’t like that, for many people. For them, love is the point: the axis around which everything else revolves, the destination at the end of a long, tumultuous journey. Realisation, confession, resolution. Happy ending. That’s how it goes. And love was a point in Tony Stark’s journey, except it came towards the beginning, rather than the end. The issue, instead of the solution.

He hasn’t been alone on the trip, of course. Steve’s been there: sometimes three steps behind, sometimes waiting up ahead by the turn of the road. They’ve sprinted and stumbled, sometimes stood still and refused to move on ahead, sometimes thought of turning away altogether.

Steve and Tony’s story began after they fell in love, and this is about how they fell in everything else.

a rose by any other name by meidui

“Just Steve,” he says quickly, softly, and his voice is music to Tony’s ears. “Please call me Steve.”

Tony can’t help but stare as it occurs to him that he should have prepared a proper greeting. What on earth is someone so young and pretty doing in an engagement like this?

-

There are a lot of things about Steve that make this arrangement easier than Tony thought it would be, but then there are a lot of things about him that complicate it, too.

Second Chance Lives by raeldaza 

Tony's gonna die of palladium poisoning anyway, why not join a pointless expedition to recover Captain America’s body? And after, well, why not dedicate his last few months to making sure an American hero settles into his new life? What else is he going to do, get drunk at parties?

My Known Unknown by shetlandowl

That True Lies AU nobody asked for, set in a world where Stane Inc is the world's foremost weapons manufacturer, and Tony's employer.

I could lie tangent to your curves by RurouniHime

Steve is bodyguard to a prominent young socialite with too much genius on his hands... and who has taken an unfortunate shine to him.

Not a Breakup by Annie D (scaramouche)

Tony knew it was a bad idea to start sleeping with Steve. It could mess up team dynamics, make things even more awkward between them in the future, or just plain get in the way of their trying to save the world. Tony foresaw all of the above but not the advent of feelings, and at the most inopportune moment.

now I worship a celestial sun by haemodye

The thing that gets Tony the most is how long it takes him to notice.

Not Steve, or even the other Avengers, but Tony himself. It takes Tony almost two whole weeks to figure out that he’s unable to disobey a direct order from Steve, which just- what the hell is that? What happened to the days when he flew off the handle, unable to play well with others, a notorious wild card?

“God, don’t tell me I’m getting old and predictable,” he says, rubbing a hand over his forehead. And then, “Fuck.”

A mostly-comedic farce involving: 1 obedience spell, 2 pining Avengers, 1 long-suffering Sorcerer Supreme, and 1 single, extravagant Saint Patrick's Day float.

Can't Write One Song (That's Not About You) by FestiveFerret 

Ten years ago, Tony fell in love with his roommate: funny, handsome, kind, smart Steve Rogers, who also happened to be the lead singer and guitarist of a band, The Howlies.

Then The Howlies made it big, Steve moved away, and Tony vowed to avoid any mention of the band, their songs, and the man he missed his chance with.

But chance has a way of giving you exactly what you need, even if you don't know it yet...

[Podfic of] When The Lights Go On Again by Dr_Fumbles_McStupid, kalakirya, KD reads (KDHeart), lattice_frames, lavenderfrost, miss_marina95, Opalsong, paraka, Superstitiousme, vassalady

Aliens have invaded earth, and the Avengers are scattered. While Steve leads the resistance, Tony once again finds himself playing captive scientist. In the midst of a violent alien regime, separated by seemingly insurmountable boundaries, Steve and Tony have nothing to keep themselves going but each other.

Worldbuilding of «Empress of the World», part IV ~ the court of the Emperor and his Chosen, part I

People would later say that a whisper of hers could reach from the heart of Valyria to the planes of Vaes Dothrak, to Yi’Ti and the Lands of the Far-East, the Lands of the Southern continent as well as west of the Lands of Sunset. 

— from Fables of the Empire, Jaehaerys and his Empress

The emissaries from the kingdom of Shebay in Sothoryos

It is later that very week, after Rhaenys has returned to Valyria, that the first guest of their court comes to Tyria. His name is Zub-h-er and he has been sent by the queen Adira of the kingdom of Shebay in Sothoryos.

(...)

He remembers his time there fondly for the warriors of the kingdom of Shebay are well renown for their ability with spears and in the combative run. So, he is profoundly touched when the man offers to him, for Jacaerys a finely and intricately carved spear of ironwood with an obsidian edge and several ceremonial chains attached to its handle, because he knows the meaning of such a gift.

(...)

Queen Adira is basically making good on her promise to always stand beside House Targaryen as allies and friends, Jaehaerys does not miss that the woman has sent forth also one of her daughters, offering for her to be a cupbearer for his favorite. A girl no older than six namedays, with a mess of long dark ringlets and ebony skin and onyx eyes, all knees and elbows and lips, she wears the traditional kente of her people in hues of gold and black and white, the colors of her family, which symbolize, if he recalls correctly royalty, purity and spirituality in their culture.

The emissary from the Rock

“I am the lady Hellen of House Broom, cousin to the queen of the Rock, Brienne of House Tarth,” the woman introduces herself “and this is my protector Podrick of House Payne, squire of the Rock and priced friend of the crown prince Galladan Lannister” she says gesturing to the boy standing behind her somewhat awkwardly. He is plenty tall for his age, with a taurine neck and dark hair and kind eyes which shine with honesty. Sansa would sooner trust his word, if he were to speak. “My queen has ever been an ally of House Stark in her heart,” the woman says “and her son, prince Galladan is the same. She sends me in hope that we can foster friendship and kinship between the great Houses of Lannister, Stark and Targaryen.” she snaps her fingers and claps her hands and her servants bring forth a small chest offering it to her. Sansa accepts it fairly as the woman continues “Her Grace the queen of the Rock is no lion, she's a star of Tarth,” she says “and the stars always did look favorably down on House Stark. Inside that chest you'll find a gift by the queen herself. It's a tiara made from the purest of gold from the mines of Casterly Rock. The queen hopes this small gesture in truth may convey House Lannister and Tarth moral support to your just cause” she tells them “to bring you good fortune in the wars to come”

The emissaries from Bear Island and Skagos

Jaehaerys sees the way Sansa steels herself the moment the names are called. He can feel how nervous she is, how much she wants to make a good impression, want them to see her and their son as the Stark he also is. “Lady Lyra of House Mormont and Edwin Stane from Driftwood Hall” the herald calls and Jaehaerys can scarcely contain his curiosity. From Sansa's stories House Mormont had been her staunchest supporter, though not staunch enough to support a military campaign with winter at their backs to take back Winterfell in her name. “It is you,” Lady Lyra comments without preamble studying her eyeing Jacaerys sitting supported by Sansa on her lap “and that I suppose is your son” Sansa doesn't shrink under her unblinking gaze “Aye, this is Jacaerys Brandon of House Targaryen,” she says “heir to the throne of Valyria and to Winterfell” and Jaehaerys easily rests his hand atop the child's head, cupping it in a fatherly caress, before caressing her cheek. (...) “You did not break faith with House Stark when tragedy befell it,” Sansa proclaims “and I ask you now, will you break faith now?” Lyra Mormont wields her morningstar high in the air “Bear Island knows no queen but the queen in the North whose name is Stark! The Queen in the North!” The man at her side echoes her with his sword held to the ceiling and Valdyr at the feet of her throne throw his head back and howls.

The prince Quentyn of House Martell

“House Martell has lived in prosperity for centuries, allied with the greatest Houses of the continent. We sit at the far ends of the continent, Dorne in the South and the North before the Lands of Always Winter. Together we are the pillars of the Seven Kingdoms.” prince Quentyn tells them, as he nurses his cup of dornish red. “Rhaenys,” he says “is my blood, the blood of Dorne as much as she is the blood of the dragon,” he rises his cup “she supports you and honor and kinship compels House Martell to support you and yours as well” he tells her “You have Dorne in your corner, Your Grace. May your blade never blunt and your wit always stay sharp”

[So like, most of my writing is analysis so just be aware if you go to my Acc]

To Raise A skywalker (Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi & Luke Skywalker, Gen, T, Words: 115,723 [ongoing])

Obi-Wan Kenobi sat next to baby Luke Skywalker in an inn in Bestine on Tatooine. 

In reality, the baby should likely be with his uncle, his real family. But in the fight over Luke had been shining so brightly with the Force Obi-Wan had decided he couldn’t really stay with people who couldn’t protect him. And moreover, when they locked eyes it felt like a connection through the Force was formed in a moment, this wasn’t logical really generally bonds with the Force took time but no this had seemed instantaneous. He’d only heard of these instant bonds in stories of old Jedi

2) A Tragedy Told In Metals: Tin & Cadmium (The Avengers & Iron Man, Tony Stark/Steve Rogers, f/m, M, Words: 96,444[ongoing])

Toni stood overlooking the expanse of New York from the nearly finished Stark Tower. Most of her part was done, the Arc Reactor and physical structure were all up, and the rest was Pepper and her hired interior designers. Having JARVIS all hooked up and being able to call her suits easily made it all feel safe, and like home.

3) A Tragedy Told In Metals: Copper & Arsenic (The Avengers & Iron Man, James 'Rhodey' Rhodes & Tony Stark, multi, M, Words: 88,687 [finished])

Toni drummed her fingers on her desk watching the chemical formulas for different filaments swirling in front of her eyes. And then what she was almost positive would happen, happened: a red marker reading “failure” blinked in front of her. She dropped her sweaty head on the cool surface of her desk.

4) I Think I Wanna Marry You (Gilmore Girls, Luke Danes/Lorelai Gilmore, F/m, G, Words: 2,030, [finished[)

Lorelai stood in Ms Patty’s dance studio butterflies swirling in her stomach as Rory was zipping up her dress. Ms Patty was braiding April’s hair and Sookie was doing Lane’s makeup Lorelai’s heart was beating in her chest the nerves and excitement had her shifting from foot to foot. 

5) A Tragedy Told in Metals: Missed It, Can't Forget It (Iron Man, James "Rhodey" Rhodes & Tony Stark, gen, T, Words: 1,639 [finished])

James Rhodes was in his car, he really ought to drive to the base, instead, he was going the complete opposite direction. But part of him just wanted to turn around, fly back across the country and never leave his best friend's side ever. But that wasn’t practical, Toni would let him taken care of her for a little while, eventually, she’d push him away again. Not to mention he had a job and Toni had become Iron Queen and head of a company. 

6) A Tragedy Told In Metals: Praying ( Iron Man, Pepper Potts & Tony Stark, gen, T, Words: 1,755 [finished])

Toni stood at the gate of the cemetery. She glanced at the paper clutched in her hand. It was a few paragraph eulogy to say at the funeral of one Obadiah Stane. Reading it had made her feel slightly sick every time. Written up by SHIELD and Pepper it was such nonsense.

7) A Tragedy Told In Metals: Gold & Lead (Iron Man, Howard Stark & Tony Stark, multi, M, Words: 86,313 [Finished])

Antonia Elena Stark was born not breathing. Her face was purple and red she wouldn’t cry. There were a few silent moments as the doctor looked her over but then she started to scream and cry and could be given into the arms of her parents. Howard Stark grinned at the child holding her as Maria stark smiled sweaty and tired but still happy. In those first moments it seemed Howard, Maria and Antonia could be a family, and maybe for a bit they even were. 

8) Message In A Bottle (Doctor Who & Related Fandoms, The Doctor & Yasmin Khan, gen, T, Words: 2, 875 [Finsihed])

The TARDIS was meandering in the Time Vortex. They had a rough few days of action so they were taking a day in The Vortex where almost nothing could really attack them. She might have told them nothing could hurt them they looked tired.

9) Okay Takes Time  (She Ra and The Princess of Power, Adora & Glimmer, gen, T, Words: 2,497 [finished])

Adora walked through the halls of the Bright Moon castle absorbed in her own thoughts It was good being able to work with her friends. Knowing they had each other's backs no matter what helped everything to not seem so heavy all the time. But not totally, and not for long enough in her opinion. She wondered if it ever really would stop hurting. If she would ever be able to chill as everyone else could, even people as excitable as the other princesses seemed to have access to a calm she did not. 

10) Breakeven (She Ra and The Princess of Power, Adora/Glimmer, multi, T, Words: 56,555)

Adora O’Sullivan sat outside the headmaster's office of her new school. The Grayskull Academy, a prep school for kids who had had ambitions to be influential adults. For most this was a given from their influential parents, they had the money to come, but it shaped you to be the best at everything. It was rumoured their politics classes was more ‘how to get what you want in politics’.

I know there is a lot in my iron series but it starts with Gold and Lead. I have put so much fucking work into it

#my post

[lovelyirony]

for the song prompts: “you went and put me on a bigger stage/made me want to live again” with buckytony?

Tony Stark hadn’t played the stage in years. This was due to a lot of problems with his old manager, Obadiah Stane. That, and he had practically lived his whole life onstage. Everything was documented, his life on display, and he desperately wanted privacy. 

He got it when he was twenty-four and tired of the whole scene. He swore off the industry, moved to a house away from it all, and made a living off of car repairs. People didn’t look at him and see the early-retired rocker, they saw a man with a faded nickname of “Tony” on his jumpsuit and a certain expertise that went generally unmatched. 

Then, of course, there comes a new man in town. James “Bucky” Barnes, a man with a blunt stage presence and an adversity to the limelight. He avoids it, rarely does interviews, and when he does people listen. 

The new hire at Jarvis Motors, Peter, excitedly runs up to Tony with the new interview. He knows all about Tony’s past life, even has a couple of old t-shirts of his aunts that he’ll occasionally wear to irk Tony. 

(Although he’s never actually mad.) 

“Look!” Peter says, waving his phone. 

“I can’t see it if you’re moving it,” Tony says, taking himself away from one of the trucks. “What is it.” 

“Bucky likes your style!” 

“Who the hell is Bucky?” Tony asks, a frown. “Do I know him?” 

“You live under a rock,” Peter says. 

“Of course I do, why wouldn’t I?” 

He sees the face of a guy who is exactly his type: tall, dark, a bit of a dangerous vibe going on. 

“He’s the new face of rock,” Peter says. “And intensely private, rarely does interviews. And he mentioned you as a main influence.” 

“In what, learning how not to do fame?” Tony asks. 

“No, listen,” Peter insists, unpausing the video. 

“And who would you say is your biggest influence, music wise?” 

“Definitely Tony Stark,” Bucky says, smiling faintly. “He had performance, but everyone in the industry has that. His performances were uniquely his own. He developed his own way, didn’t rely on fancy pyrotechnics but incorporated them in. There’s something about him I don’t think any of us--especially myself--are going to forget.” 

Tony smiles faintly. 

“See?” Peter says. “You should tell him you liked the interview.” 

“And what, have people pay attention to me again?” Tony asks. “I like being able to open my curtains in the morning hours, Pete.” 

- 

As it turns out, people do not bother him at his residence, although he gets a formal email from the band’s manager asking him if he would like to come to a show. 

He asks if he can bring along another person, and they say yes. 

Peter cannot stop yelling about it. 

“A concert Mr. Stark!” he yells. “A real concert! And we get to see Bucky perform live!” 

“It’s Tony, and it’s not a big deal,” Tony says, smiling to himself as he sees Peter bouncing up and down on his feet. 

Front row tickets. Of course. Tony should have expected it, although it’s so...it’s been so long since he’s been on a stage, let alone near one. 

There are whispers all around him, cameras trained on his every move as Peter excitedly jabbers on about the band’s upcoming tour, the success story, and Bucky’s memorable personality. 

“You’ll like him,” Peter says. 

- 

Peter’s right. As they come out on stage, Tony grins at the band, who all smile at each other and Bucky whoops. The crowd whoops back. He sings a couple notes, has them repeated back to him. 

“Some of you know us, some of you were dragged here,” Bucky announces. “Parents, I’m not apologizing. You bought the tickets. But let’s have a good time tonight, sure?” 

There’s a roar of approval as they get into the first song. 

Bucky has an easy stage appearance and it’s almost like he’s been on one all his life. His feet slide to the rhythm, eyes light up with each lyric. He enunciates some funny words, deftly grabs the bracelets and gifts that fans wave in the air. 

He can hear the way that lyrics resonate with others, he sees at least one person crying. It’s powerful, and he can’t say that he hasn’t missed what that means.  

-

After a show is just as important. There’s a pleasant, heady buzz to the air, the overhead lights shining bright white on everything. Reality a bit altered. 

They still get to go backstage. 

Tony looks around, taking note of the crew that scurry around, giving him nervous looks. 

“If they knew you’ve ranted about the different models of car you hate, they wouldn’t think you were this impressive,” Peter mutters. 

Tony laughs. 

“You’re right about that. But you forget that I was impressive.” Peter laughs, wringing his hands as they get to where the meeting room is. 

“We’ll be fine,” Tony says. 

“Holy shit, I didn’t actually think you’d come!” Bucky says upon opening the door. “Fuck, man!” 

Tony laughs. 

“I had a couple of sick days to burn. I loved the set, you guys are talented.” 

The drummer--Natasha, if Tony remembers from the information Peter had sped through--waves. 

“You still at that car repair shop?” 

Tony raises an eyebrow. 

“How do you know that?” 

“Pepper and I follow each other on Instagram.” 

“Oh,” Tony says, blinking. “So I know you from there. Nice skills with the drums.” 

“Thanks.” 

Tony faces Bucky. 

“So. I saw the interview. That really true or something they told you to say?” 

"Why would it be a lie?” Bucky asks. 

“I’m not exactly that big anymore,” Tony says. “And I don’t know, I guess it’s just hard to imagine someone being that influenced by me.” 

Bucky grins. 

“When you look like you do and you sing like you do? Honey it’s a miracle more people aren’t admiring you as much as I do.” 

Tony blushes. Peter groans and goes over to where Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter are, choosing to avoid the conversation altogether. 

“So,” Tony says. “I don’t do a lot of the rockstar shit much, but I do remember how nice a burger was post-show. My treat?” 

Bucky grins, leaning forward. 

“Oh, I’d love that.” 

Tony doesn’t mind being photographed in the company of Bucky Barnes. It does rocket his business up to beyond-busy, he can no longer go to the grocery store at regular hours, and he gets judged for buying three packs of Oreos. 

But he gets to spend time with Bucky, who has the best jokes, the greatest smile, and sings like he’s the only person in the room. 

It’s not all bad. 

(At least, for now. Pepper is mentioning something about a “return” tour and he just knows he’ll do it and he knows it’ll be amazing. Ugh.)

Word Count: 1322 words

Link: Read on AO3

The Avengers are sitting in the dining room,  eating breakfast when a bright blue light shines in the corner. Shadows appear behind it. As the light fades, they see that there are two people standing in the corner.  Tony’s chest clenches when he sees who they are – Howard and Maria Stark. From the corner of his eye,  he can see Bucky pale.

 Howard and Maria look the same as they did that fateful night of December 16th, 1991. The Avengers watch as Howard looks around the room. “Where the hell -oomph!” His sentence gets cut off as Rhodey punches him across the face,  laying him out. Maria screams and Steve jumps up, pulling Rhodey back to the table. Tony can't help but snicker. He loves his Platypus.

“What the hell are you doing,  Rhodes?” Steve growls.

 Rhodey calmly pulls Steve’s hand off his arm and says, “He knows what that’s for. And if he doesn’t, then fuck him.”

 “Who the hell are you?” Howard demands. “Where am I?” He turns to Steve. “Are you Steve Rogers or a fake?”

 Nobody sees Tony or Bucky leave the room except for Rhodey. He knows where they both will be. “Steve, take care of this asshole. I’m going to find my boyfriend and your best friend.” Rhodey throws Howard the bird and stalks out. Maria Stark gasps again and then collapses. Wanda jumps up to give her a seat. No one else is sure of what to do.

 “Howard, I am the actual Steve Rogers.” Steve nods. “You’re in the year 2019, and this is the Avengers Tower. This is Natasha, Pietro, Bruce, Clint, and that’s Wanda. Bucky and Tony are here somewhere, and the one who just left is Jim Rhodes.” Maria perks up, hearing Tony’s name.

 “Tony’s here?” Howard laughs. “I thought he’d be dead before he reached thirty. Where is he?” He rubs his jaw where Rhodes hit him. “Fuck, that hurts.”

 Steve rubs the back of his head. “I’m not sure. I think Rhodes went to get him. Are you hungry? We’ve got extra.” He gestures to the food on the table.

 ~~

“Tony, let me in.” Rhodey knocks on the closet door. “I know you and Bucky are in there.”

 The door opens, and Rhodey finds the two men sitting on the floor, taking deep breaths. Taking a seat beside Tony, he pulls Tony into his arms.

 “Fuck, Rhodey, what am I going to do?” Tony gasps. “I know I’m supposed to be happy I have them back, but I’m really not.”

 “Hey baby, I know. You’re not a bad person because of this,” Rhodey soothes. “You lived a shitty life with them. There's no guilt in wanting to be free of them.”

 Tony sniffles into Rhodey’s collar, then wipes away his tears. “Thank you Honeybear.” He smiles softly, then focuses his attention on Bucky. “Hey Bucky. Listen, Howard will not touch a hair on your body.   Rhodey will sock him again before he gets the chance. That being said, if you want to get away from here for a while, I don’t blame you. I can fly you to my Malibu house or the apartment I have in Harlem. Or anywhere else in the world. Up to you.”

 Miserable, Bucky opens his mouth and tries to speak but no words are coming out. “Hey, hey, it’s ok,” Rhodey says calmly. “Why don’t we sit here for a little while, then we can go to your room?” Bucky nods. The three of them sit in the closet for another ten minutes, then Bucky stands up. Nodding at both of them, he heads for his room. Rhodey rubs Tony’s shoulders. “Come on, honey, let’s get you some water.”

 “Water sucks.” Tony wrinkles his nose like he always does, but he follows Rhodey to the lab.

 ~~

Maria finds Tony the next morning, sitting on the balcony just outside the living room on the main floor. “Tony?” She asks quietly.

 “Hey Mom.” Tony acknowledges her presence with a smile.

 She wraps her blanket around her shoulders and takes the seat next to him. “It’s a little chilly out here, wouldn’t you say?” Tony hums noncommittally. Not that he doesn’t want to talk to his mother, he just doesn’t know what to say. “So, they-they told me Howard and I would have died tonight?”

 “Yea.” Wow. At least that sounded sad. Not that I’m not sad, but…

 “Tell me dear, do you miss us? It looks like you’ve made out quite well for yourself here.” She rests her hand on his knee. “You have the family you’ve always wanted.”

 Tony tears up. “I’ve missed you, Mother. I missed you so much the first few years after you passed, and I still miss you, but Rhodey and the others? They gave me something I have never felt before.”

 “I know, sweetheart. And the thing I regret most about my life is that I didn’t give it to you. I am truly sorry for that.”

 “Living with Howard was tough.” Tony wraps his arm around her shoulders. “I’m sure you did the best you could.”

 “I didn’t really.” Maria sniffs.

 They hold each other until the others wake up.

~~

Howard and Maria stay at the Tower for a week until Dr. Strange is back from his sabbatical. Maria does her best to keep herself out of the picture, but Howard gets on everyone’s last nerve. He drinks a lot, which doesn’t help Tony, who is recovering from his alcoholism, out at all.  There are still many times he wants to fall back into the bottle. Especially times like these.

 Sam gets home from a mission on the second day. Rhodey pulls him aside and explains everything. Eyes wide, Sam wastes no time in comforting his boyfriend. In the end, they take a vacation to the Malibu house. Bucky’s guilt is hurting him too much to stay at the Tower.

 Peter and Harley are sitting in the living room watching Schitt’s Creek. “Who are the children?” Howard asks.

 “This is Peter and that’s Harley, both kids I’ve helped out.” Tony introduces them.

 “Peter?” Howard scoffs, then mumbles. “Not Patricia?” He says it so quietly that only Tony picks it up. He can tell Peter heard it as well because the boy stiffens minutely.

 Tony shoots Howard a glare. His father chooses to ignore it. Instead, he starts to demand why Tony gave up weapons manufacturing. “We were the ones keeping the country safe!” He yells. “If you weren’t a worthless, drunk, fuck-up, you’d have seen that Stane was double-dealing. You could’ve stopped it immedia…” His rant is cut off as Rhodey punches him square in the nose.

 “Excuse you. We are housing you. So, keep your damn opinions to your damn self.” Rhodey glares down at Howard. “I will not hesitate to hit you again. Apologize. Now.”

 Instead of apologizing like he was told, Howard spits blood from his mouth at Tony. “You’re a bitch, then. You’re going to let Rhodes fight all your fights for you?”

 “Only the ones that aren’t worth my time of day.” Tony smiles sweetly at him. “And you, Howard, are not worth my time ever. You were a horrible man, a shitty husband, and an even shittier father. I’m actually glad that you were killed that night.  I just wish Mother didn’t have to be a casualty.”

 “Unfortunately, she must be.” Stephen Strange’s dry voice actually sounds sad.  “It is time for them to return to their timeline.”

 Maria is called from her room. She and Tony share a long hug goodbye. Then Strange sends them back to their timeline – in the car just before the Winter Soldier causes the car to spin out.

 “Thank you.” Tony kisses Rhodey’s cheek. “It was closure enough just to see you fucking deck Howard. Catching up with Mother was good, too.”

 “I’ve wanted to do that a long time.” Rhodey nods grimly.

[arlome]

For Phrack please! “The diamond in your engagement ring is fake.”

But of course, my darling!

(This turned out to be far longer than I expected )

They think they are so damn clever.

It’s a well-guarded secret, at first, kept away from all prying eyes and wagging tongues; something precious that only the two of them - and her loyal household - are privy to. It’s exciting and new, brilliant and all-encompassing, and her heart swells in a way unknown to her before at the thrilling, clandestine nature of this affection, one that is so thoroughly different than her previous affairs of the flesh.

It all goes swimmingly until he is seen leaving her house early in the morning one too many times, wearing the same suit he wore to work the previous day. The factory of vicious rumours begins producing all sorts of farfetched gems, and the nature of their relationship becomes the topic of various tea dances and garden parties all across Melbourne. Eventually, the good inspector is summoned to a rather awkward conversation down at Russel Street, that leaves him rather frustrated, but amuses his partner exceedingly.

“Not to worry, Jack,” she says, smiling lazily, her head pillowed on his sweat-slicked abdomen after a rather vigorous session of lovemaking. “We’ll figure something out.” 

The idea forms in her ever-thinking head rather organically, and even though he is reluctant to agree at first - no doubt worried she might come to resent the arrangement in some way - he ends up acquiescing to the scheme like the reluctant good sport he can sometimes be. And so, a decision is tentatively made and is left to lie as low as possible, until a few days pass and the two detectives find themselves on the same case.

They’re walking down Wellington St, heading to the police car that’s wisely parked a few blocks away from the rowdy part of Collingwood in which one of their suspects lives when Jack stops in front of a pawnbroker’s window, a rather reflective expression on his handsome face.

“Jack?” Phryne asks as he pats down his pockets with an air of deep concentration, but the man just holds up a finger at her inquiry and disappears into the shop.

He emerges a few minutes later, his lips set in his subtle, lopsided smile, and drops something small and circular into the palm of her hand.

It’s a comely Paste set in a simple gold ring, one square stone fixed right in the middle of a thin strip of reddish-gold. It’s probably too small for her taste - she’s accustomed to bigger, more substantial rings - but one look at Jack’s open face endears the thing to her. 

His eyes are smiling, shining with the shared joke, full to the brim with mischief so unlike him, that Phryne feels light on her feet. And when he goes down on one knee in the middle of the busy street, not even bothering with doffing his hat, she nearly snorts with the absurdity of the situation.“Will you fake marry me, Miss Fisher?” he asks, and the corners of his generous mouth twitch with the need to curl into a smile.

She laughs and shakes her head at the ridiculous mock-proposal, but nods almost eagerly nonetheless.

“Yes, yes, a million times yes!” she gasps dramatically, and squeals in delight when Jack springs to his feet and sweeps her off hers to a few lazy cheers from a slowly gathering crowd.

“Let’s see Russel Street having qualms about this!” Jack whispers in her ear, laughing almost giddily. “Here you are, making an honest man out of me.”

She brushes his cheek lovingly and leans into his tight embrace, ignoring the world around them.

“You were always an honest man, Jack Robinson,” she mutters, a little overcome despite herself. “I never needed a silly ring to tell me that.”They make love on her bedroom floor that night, slowly and deeply, naked and laughing, the silly little ring catching the low light between their shifting bodies. She never takes it off.

They let the gossip columns do their job for them; a few gatherings where the pair are seen together, the simple ring on Phryne’s finger prominent and telling, sends the socialites of Melbourne into a frenzy. The two detectives never outrightly confirm or deny a thing, but Jack is never summoned by Russel Street to awkward talks of a rather personal nature again. 

A fundraising luncheon at Aunt P’s brings the honeymoon to a rather jolting pause. The old battle axe takes one less-than-discreet look at the ring, blanches, and asks for a quick moment of Phryne’s time.

“Whatever is the matter, Aunt P?” Phryne asks, worried at the paleness of her aunt’s face. “We’ve left poor Jack alone with all those hungry-looking women; he might never recover if we don’t hurry back!”

Prudence Stanley scrutinizes her niece with considerable shrewdness, her head tilting in the direction of the ring.

“So, are the rumours true?” she asks, at last, her voice just a little on the shrill side.

Phryne blinks innocently and tugs on one dangling earring.

“What rumours?” she asks, seemingly naive, but the pitch of her tone rises slightly towards the end of the question and she winces inwardly. She has a ‘tell’ and she knows it.

“Don’t play coy with me, my girl,” he aunt replies sternly, pointing at Phryne’s left hand. “Are you or are you not engaged to be married to Detective Inspector Jack Robinson?”

Phryne sighs and abandons all pretence; it’s not like she ever truly stood a shot with the older woman.

“Jack and I have an… understanding,” she divulges reluctantly, mentally preparing herself for her aunt’s lecture on propriety and station. 

But Prudence Stanely only sighs worriedly and wrings her plump hands, nearly shocking her niece into a stupor.

“My dear,” she begins shakily, not knowing how to approach the situation. “You know I hold your inspector in the highest regard - he is a good, decent man; very educated too, which is a pleasant surprise, for a man of his station - but… well… my dear girl, the diamond in your engagement ring is fake.”

Phryne exhales in relief, smiles a little too brightly, and reaches for her aunt’s hands.

“Oh, Aunt P,” she says softly, her brow furrowing slightly. “I know…”

“You…you know?” the older woman stutters in disbelief. “But…”

Phryne purses her lips and nods.

“So, you’re not engaged, then?” Aunt Prudence asks,  and the forlorn note in her voice makes Phryne sadder than she anticipated.

“Afraid not, Aunt,” she replies, smiling a tad self - deprecatingly. “We’d much rather just live in sin.” Then, sighing a little at her aunt’s unimpressed look, she decides to amend her statement. “I assure you; even though the ring is fake, the understanding we have is, in fact, very real.” 

“Why the subterfuge, then? Why play make-belief with the entire world?”

Phryne laughs and shakes her head.

“Hardly the entire world, Aunt Prudence,” she protests, her hand caressing the older woman’s hand. “Just the constabulary.”

Understanding dawns upon the great battle-axe like the new day upon the sleepy land.

“The Inspector’s reputation, I take it?” And when Phryne nods her confirmation, she continues, “But why a fake ring? What if anybody else notices?”

Phryne shrugs. “It’s a shared joke, Aunt. A fake ring for a fake engagement. And you know I hardly care for other people’s opinions; a Paste ring from Jack is worth more than any diamond.”

Her last words take her by surprise. She’s rather shocked by her own conviction, and she suspects it shows. Aunt Prudence certainly notices it, deciding to grab the fleeting chance by its scrawny neck.

“If you’re that much in love with the man, why not just marry him and save all this trouble? I don’t understand, Phryne!”

The lady detective leans over and plants a kiss on her aunt’s forehead. She’ll save the mild panic attack at that particular revelation for later.

“I know you don’t, Aunt,” she sighs fondly and smiles. “If it’s any consolation, I’m rather certain that Jack would’ve proposed if he thought I was that way inclined.”

“And are you sure you’re not…?” the older woman asks, hopefully, her hands coming to rest on Phryne’s arms.

“Pretty sure. But I’ll tell you this, Aunt P; if there was ever a man who could make me reconsider my views on marriage…” she trails off, her eyes shining mischievously. 

Aunt P heaves a long, suffering sigh and shakes her head.

“Alright, I suppose nothing I can say will change your mind. You always were a strong-headed girl… and I suppose there are worse suitors… Senior Detective Inspector has a nice ring to it, and, of course, he may one day be the Commissioner of Police! Highly respectable position - “

When both women finally return to the luncheon, and Phryne finds and rescues Jack from a group of middle-aged women who are abnormally keen on murder mysteries, he places a warm palm on the small of her back and leans over to whisper in her ear.

“What was that all about?”

Phryne smiles and catches her aunt’s shrewd look across the room, noticing a new glint in the older woman’s eyes.

“Nothing to worry about, Jack; but I think it’s safe to assume that we’ve got another person on our team.”

And when they all sit down to tea, Aunt Prudence draws herself to her full, albeit rather lacking height, and turns to Jack with great importance and pride.

“Another slice of pie, Senior Detective Inspector?” 

And the dear man smiles and offers his plate.

“Don’t mind if I do, Mrs Stanely.”

They are so damn clever, after all.

[ohoshi]

omg first i need to talk about nct at song festival (gayo daechukjae) umm first of all mark and taeyongs rap was so good but ofc we all knew they would kill it. and then in nct U class, teacher taeyong looked so good...the way he bit that pointer stick thing in the beginning was so sexc (and the hair and the glasses ahdsfasjf) 😳 but also sungchans rap in that?? i was not expecting that but why am i even surprised anymore.. and also misfit live?? i loved nct's school uniform concept too for some reason ahahaha

and then xiaojun in resonance!! wow yes go shine xj!!! (also idk why but i found it so funny when it was doyoung's turn after xj, but xj was kinda blocking dy (who was really walking with a PURPOSE) so dy lightly pushed him out of the way) and then omg shotaro!! offstage he is so 😊 but damn in hard carry he was so good!! ahh and then also the thing where all the kpop artists at gayo daechukjae sang that song was so cute (i smiled so hard when nct came up 🥺)

yea for my job situation i think it will be okay, i talked to some people i know/mentors about it too and i think things will work out...they always do in the end right? 😊 now about anime LOL this is making me wanna start/rewatch an anime now hahahah! honestly i kind of have phases where i alternate between kdramas and animes, but i havent rly watched anime much lately besides haikyuu (which i was also surprised was still airing (but it's only season 2 so far?)). kpop (aka NCT) has been consuming my life lmao but im here for it 😂

weightlifting fairy was also my first kdrama!! yes i can totally give u some kdrama recs! besides the ones i mentioned before (which are most of my top ones), i also liked chicago typewriter, marriage not dating (i love the fake relationship trope hahaha), dinner mate, sky castle (it's kinda intense but it's so good and an iconic kdrama), cheer up, another miss oh, kingdom (if you like zombie things)...i heard startup is good and i want to watch it soon too! also i continued watching more of uncanny counter these past few days and i love it (but it's ongoing so no binging)

okay now svt: i watched some of your recs and youre so right all their choreos are so satisfying?! i also actually agree with you about black on black, i liked black on black and it was cool but it only featured like 5 members lmao and in the svt choreos it does feel like all of them are featured in some way in each performance? plus their choreos are just so great to watch!! also i've had left and right stuck in my head since i watched it LOL but i agree it's objectively better than dynamite (not an army though; also pls nobody come at us for this lmaoo)

also super random but can you tell me who is the one in the red/purple plaid shirt in the svt home dance practice?? i am kinda attracted by his dance moves LOL and i havent learned names yet 😭 i will continue watching all ur svt recs though hehehe and update you on the status of my fangirling :))

omg wait also i would never have guessed that you're not an english speaker just from these messages!! how did you know that i was prob a native speaker haha (i guess *technically* cantonese is my first language, but then i learned english in school so now i'm obviously more native in that lol and english is the only language i can read/write in)

OMGGF IKR as a multi stan i really enjoyed the rap collab especially because i really love monsta x's rap line (esp i.m!!! his rapping skill 😍) and of course mark and taeyong!!!! 😭 our boys 😭 our golden rappers 😭 SLAYED IT! omg the nct u got me 😳 taeyong looked so good???? wtf? and also sungchan? damn that boy keeps surprising me! the interesting part to me was when one member(johnny if i remember correctly) bumped into taeyong but it was done on purpose and how he uhhh kinda shook his body and his head but it all looked so cool and he never stopped rapping!!! love how they all 'performed' misfit manifesting wild teenagers in school (as they are tbh) IT WAS SO FUN AND COOL!!!

XIAOJUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAS SO!!!!!! GOOD!!!!!!! THE CONFIDENCE??? THE STAGE PRESENCE????? XIAOJUN CENTER???? XIAOJUN BEING RELEVANT????? i live 😭 he was so good he looked so good i was so happy and i'm so proud of him 😭 from here the only way to go is up! i hope he keeps surprising us! and omg i haven't noticed that part when doyoung pushed him bc he blocked him?? and i just rewatched it and it looks funny 🤣 but they held everything professionally 😌  no surprises there 😌

OH MY GOD THE HARD CARRY PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!! first of all our boy shotaro DAMN 😳 he looked so good you couldn’t say that he just debuted a few months ago!! such a dancing machine! (but honestly i am not surprised because in make a wish he was rly good and he debuted as a dancer i expected from him to be good™ as he is!) and i love the duality od him <3 yk that kind of idol that you want to protect at all cost but the next second they're the one you seek protection from? yeH sign me uP! and don't even get me started on hyunjin, juyeon and moonbin!!!!! but i mean all 3 of them are main dancers of course they would look good™ 😌 (yeah shotaro performed with 3 main dancers of 3 different groups i mean the honor??????)

the end of the festival was so wholesome! It was a serotonin boost and me too i also smiled the whole time! so cute 😭 and ot23 were cutiesssss

yes! everything will work out in the end! don't stress about it!<3 oh haikyuu only has 2 seasons? wtf hsgsjsgs ok then i just watched when it had like 13 episodes, WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT that's when i watched it lmao

OMG OK I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN ALL OF THESE DRAMAS (and from the previous ask) IN MY NOTES SO FAR im mostly excited about the fake relationship one 👀 i love fake relationship trope, too 🤧 oh no binging?? is that your thing?? usually i love to wait for the show to finish airing and then i binge watch it in a few days (or one day depends how busy i am)

SEVENTEEN!!!!: yeah all of their choreos are so satisfying (pointing this out one more time) they always pay attention to details (for example in home, bc you're familiar with it, they even choreograph the hands and pay attention to them while most of the other kpop choreos very often freestyle the whole arms sjagaj) here's a fun fact abt svt that makes me love them so much agsgsj: they're self produced! they produce their own music and they even come up with their own choreos!! (of course not on their own, woozi is a producer but he's not making songs on his own he coproduces them with [a producer name bc i guess that's irrelevant but if you’re curious: bumzu], they come up with their own choreo (to be precise, hoshi does! he is 1/2 main dancers in group and he is the main choreographer! he doesn't do everything on his own of course, he gets help from the rest of the performance team (which is a svt subunit consisted of their 2 main and 2 lead dancers: hoshi, dino, the8, jun) and of course some other infamous kpop choreography teams) and i think that, by now, all the members were credited at least once for the lyrics

I'M SO GLAD YOU HAVE LEFT AND RIGHT STUCK IN YOUR HEAD HAGSJSSGSG but i mean of course you would it's soo good and soo catchy (yeahhh no worries, this army has already gotten minor hate for having controversial opinions™ and for criticising her faves so idc anymore 💁🏻‍♀️ it's my opinion as a dancer and i stand by it, even can't you see me by txt is better than dynamite so literally 3 dance performance were better!!!! in a way!!!! and neither of the 3 won!!! yes i am salty!!!!!)

the guy in the red/purple shirt (the center guy when they do the 3 dances for the first time right??) IS DINO!!!! he's the maknae and 2/2 main dancers in svt so!!! of course you would be attracted by his moves!!!!!! JSGSJSN i'm curious to see if you end up staning svt and biasing dino hsfsjsgsha

CANTONESE IS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE? damn i thought you couldn’t get more interesting here's a dumb question: can you understand xiaojun, hendery and lucas without titles??? not that i would know if they ever speak cantonese in front of the camera for i don't know the difference between chinese dialects</3

#thank u for saying you wouldve never guessed that english wasnt my first language #that makes me happy!! #also your english is so good that's how i knew you were a native speaker lmao #ss20

[iam93percentstardust]

Just got back from seeing Charlie’s Angels and I wanted to get this written down before I forget:

Pepper isn’t supposed to be looking at the finances. Her job is to help Mr. Stane, not to be going over last year’s invoices. But one of the guys from Accounting had said something at the last inter-departmental meeting, something about some of the numbers being weird. Normally, Pepper wouldn’t have even noticed, would have just discounted it as something for Accounting to figure out, except she hasn’t seen the guy since. She probably still would have chalked it up to him quitting but he’s still listed on the company payroll—only, his social media accounts have been deleted and when she tries sending him a get well soon card, it goes undelivered.

So now she’s digging through the finances.

And what she finds is missing shipments dating back to fifteen years ago, several misplaced funds, and a paycheck to a few guys in Security that’s way higher than it should be. She could leave it there, could recognize that the last person who raised a fuss is missing, but that’s not who she is. She digs deeper and uncovers the “loss” of several valuable prototypes. Then she finds the money trail and follows it—all the way from the Ten Rings to Obadiah Stane himself.

Now would be the time to call the police and Pepper does but as soon as she starts to explain the situation, she hears a weird click over the line and then, more horrifyingly, the echo of her own voice through a heavy wooden door. Slowly, she looks up at Stane’s closed door.

“You know what?” she says. “Never mind.” She hangs up, grabs her purse and the flashdrive with the financials, and leaves.

~

She’s followed home.

Or at least, she’s pretty sure she is. The black sedan peels off before she actually turns onto her street but she’s pretty sure she sees them parked a few houses down when she cracks open her curtains a few hours later.

She doesn’t know what to do. She’s fairly certain she’s going to die the same way the guy from Accounting did—and then, someone knocks on her back door.

She shouldn’t open the door. It’s such a bad idea. But Pepper doesn’t want to meet her death cowering away so she squares her shoulder and throws open the door.

A woman with blonde princess curls smiles and says, “Hi, I’m Sharon. Let’s go.”

~

Sharon is apparently part of an elite organization called the Townsend Agency. “And what exactly does that do?” Pepper asks.

The redhead driving their getaway car shrugs. “Charlie’s got his fingers in a lot of different pies. No one knows everything we do but Sharon and I are Angels.”

“And what’s an Angel?”

“We stop criminals,” Sharon replies simply. “Natasha, we’ve got company.”

Natasha glances at the side mirror and curses in what Pepper is pretty sure is Russian. Pepper turns around to peer out the back window, immediately spotting a familiar black sedan.

“They were watching my house.”

Natasha curses again. “We’re splitting up. Sharon, you take Virginia. Safe house 3490.” She abruptly yanks on the wheel, sending them skidding into an alley. The black sedan is unable to make the same turn and zooms by them. Natasha stomps on the brakes, Pepper thrown forward as the car squeals to a stop. Immediately, Sharon throws open the back door, pulling Pepper out with her. Natasha drives off.

“Put these on,” Sharon says, thrusting a pile of old and ratty clothes at her.

Pepper distastefully takes them, silently judging them. She owns belts that cost more than this entire pile. But Sharon is pulling a hoodie up over her head, hiding her bright blonde hair from view. She scowls when she sees that Pepper hasn’t even moved.

“Do you want them to find you or not?”

Pepper puts the clothes on.

They walk out of the alley. Sharon leads the way down the street, eyes darting in all directions. Pepper wants to turn around to look if anyone is watching them but Sharon stops her the first time she tries.

“You’re not subtle,” Sharon informs her. “Come on. We’re meeting up with someone else.”

Someone else is apparently the most handsome man Pepper has even seen in her entire life: cornflower blue eyes, gorgeously thick blond hair, muscles for days. “Don’t worry,” Sharon says when she spots Pepper gaping. “Everyone reacts like that the first time they meet him.” She gives him a bright smile. “Hey Bosley!”

“Angel,” he replies. Pepper wants to swoon; even his voice is gorgeous. “Where’s Nat?”

“Distracting our tail.”

Bosley nods and stops beside an old junker. It certainly blends in with their clothes and Pepper reminds herself that people are out to kill her. She can’t insist on luxury. Sharon gets into the front seat.

“We’re meeting Saint at the safe house,” Bosley says, pulling out into the street. He drives much more carefully than Natasha. Pepper likes it. It makes her feel less like she’s going to die before Stane’s men can get to her.

Sharon grins. “Is that what we’re calling him now?”

Bosley sighs morosely. “He’s mad at me.”

“He’s always mad at you. What’d you do this time?”

“He gave me his phone number—”

“Well, that’s great!”

“—and then I lost my phone in a river before I could call him.”

“…yikes.” Sharon throws a conspicuous look at the speedometer. “Could you travel any slower?”

Bosley glares at her. “It’s not going to help if we get pulled over for speeding.”

“Yeah but you’re going twenty under the speed limit.”

Bosley speeds up a whole five miles per hour faster.

~

They pull up to a nondescript house. Pepper would almost think that they’re in the wrong location except, when Bosley parks, something shines out of the mailbox, scanning the car.

“Bosley 616 and Angel Sharon,” Bosley says into the open air. A huge gun promptly pops out of the side of the mailbox, pointed directly at Pepper. She yelps, throwing herself back against the opposite window like that’s going to help any. “Oh. And guest.”

“Come on,” Sharon says cheerfully like Pepper hadn’t just been threatened. “Safe to get out now.”

The door to the house is already open by the time they walk up to the front steps. A young man with an intricately styled goatee is leaning against the door, watching them through narrowed eyes.

“Tony!” Bosley says, brightening up.

“Fellow associate,” Tony (or maybe it’s Saint—Pepper’s pretty sure she remembers something about that) replies flatly. Bosley deflates like a kicked puppy. Sharon snickers.

Never mind. Pepper’s certain she’s going to die.

But then he wakes up in an alley in Brooklyn, two strangers staring down at him in confusion and Tony is sure he is dreaming when he shakes hands first with pre-serum Steve Rogers, and then Bucky Barnes. Trapped in 1942, Tony befriends Steve, and falls in love with Bucky but America is at war, and Bucky and Steve ship out to join the cause. Tony knows all the stories about the Howling Commandos and knows what’s coming for the soldiers, and has to live through history as first Bucky falls, and then Steve disappears. Tony is left alone in the 40's, crying himself to sleep in the house he had shared with his best friend and his lover. But then he wakes up on the pavement in New York, the Hulk roaring in his face, Steve staring down at him, and he has to wonder if it was all a hallucination. When Tony fell through the sky, did he fall through time as well? Why does Steve act so cold towards him? Were he and Bucky really that happy together?

I’m watching the live action Beauty and the Beast and all I can think is:

What if Tony were Belle? I can see a little, old town made up of alpha’s, beta’s, and omega’s, and an eighteen year old omega Tony being rejected and pushed out by this small town who doesn’t understand his genius. They don’t get why he’s always tinkering and coming up with all these confusing contraptions; it’s not normal. He’s not normal because Tony doesn’t act like normal omega’s. He’s always getting into fights and trying to teach other young omegas how to read and do math and all that. Tiberius Stone, the town’s most revered alpha, takes an interest in Tony, so Howard and Maria arrange for them to be married. After receiving this news, Tony runs away and finds a hidden castle, being chased in by the wolves that lurk outside the grounds.

Steve has lived in Avengers Castle all twenty-one years of his life. He’s known nothing else. When he was first born, a sorcerer by the name of Loki came into the castle and put a curse on his father for being a cruel man who abused Steve’s mother and the servants and his subjects. Loki said that the curse would only be lifted if someone fell in love with him, but Steve’s father and mother passed away before the curse could be lifted. Before his mother could re-fall in love with his dad; therefore, the curse was past down leaving Steve, an alpha (who are supposed to be big and strong), gangly and small and weak and - in Steve’s opinion - ugly. Bucky, Natasha, Clint, Sam, Thor, Bruce, FRIDAY, Vision, Peter, Pepper, and Rhodey were all servants at the time, cursed along with the castle and turned into Tupperware and furniture. They all help raise a young and parent-less Steve, trying to make his days there as pleasant as they can. But it’s difficult. The curse is wearing on them, and soon - when the last petal on that ancient rose falls - they will cease to have their humanity.

When Tony arrives at the castle, he’s unbothered and uncaring of Steve’s oddly meager appearance, and Steve offers him a place to stay. Tony is off-putting at first and a little mean because he doesn’t trust alphas. Never has, never will. But he’s unwilling to go home and be forced into a marriage he does not want, so Tony agrees. For the most part, they don’t see too much of one another. Tony stays in his room, lost in thought and contemplation while Steve continues to hide away in shame and fear. And when they do see each other, they always argue. Eventually, though, Tony wanders around the castle, getting to know the servants. He finds the rose, and Steve catches him, admitting to Tony about the curse put upon the castle long ago. About how it was past down from his father to him by a sorcerer named Loki. Tony recognizes the name and the rumors, and having experience with his will being forcefully tampered down without his consent, angrily storms out of the castle to find this sorcerer and demand he lift the curse from the castle. Steve, surprised but also impressed and endeared by Tony’s reaction, stands in shock as Tony runs from the castle. When Steve catches up with himself, though, he remembers the wolves and chases after Tony with an old shield. As Tony is being attacked, Steve shows up to save him not a moment later and fights them off, receiving a few injuries of his own and passing out. Tony becomes concerned with Steve’s health, and he takes Steve back to the castle to begin caring for him. While he helps Steve, he asks about the curse from Natasha and Bucky and Sam telling them that they don’t deserve to be cursed because they did nothing. They admit that they did nothing: nothing to stop Steve’s father from hurting his people, his mother, his own son, and Tony just silently looks over at a slowly healing Steve.

When Steve wakes up, Tony is at his side, tinkering like he usually does. Steve is, strangely, interested in what Tony’s doing and asks questions and Tony explains and they fall into companionable conversation. Tony admits that he loves making stuff, but it’s difficult to do without supplies and without more knowledge, to which Steve leads him into the library, and Tony’s astonished at the amount of knowledge suddenly at his hands. He walks around picking out books and holding onto them in a vice-like grip as if someone is going to take this away from him at any second. Tony realizes, soon after, that Steve doesn’t know how to read even though he’s always wanted to learn. So Tony begins teaching Steve how to read, and then how to ride a horse and how to cook - which Steve is miraculously bad at - and all kinds of other stuff. Steve shows Tony his art and his paintings, and Tony starts to realize, along with Natasha and Bucky and Sam and Clint and Thor and everyone else, that there’s “Something There that wasn’t There Before”.

One day, Steve mentions he never learned to dance, and Tony tells him that he can teach Steve how to dance and suggests they have a ball in the empty, unused ballroom. Steve frets to Natasha and Sam and Bucky and Clint and Thor about how nervous he is as he gets ready. They help him put on a nice, deep blue suit that brings out his eyes, and there are hints and stripes of red and white on the cuffs of his sleeves and pants and at the bottom hem of his suit shirt. When he walks down the stairs, he sees Tony, and Steve’s breath is taken away. The other man is dressed in a yellow suit with red intertwined in the fabric making Tony glow and sparkle within the dim lighting. They start dancing to “Tale as Old as Time”, and Steve feels his heart pounding in his chest. When they’re finished, the go out onto the balcony, and Steve’s about to admit that he’s in love with Tony when they see something odd in the distance.

While Tony was in the castle, word finally reached back to the village that their missing omega was in some castle with some other alpha and Tiberius Stone gathers a group of alphas together - Obadiah Stane, Justin Hammer, an alpha whose nickname is the Red Skull, alphas from the Chitutari family, alphas from the Aim and Hydra family, an alpha who goes by The Mandarin, Ultron, alphas from the Accords family and the Skrulls family, and Thanos - to storm the castle. When Steve sees this, sees the torches and the large mass of people, he knows what’s about to happen. Tony, who hasn’t seen them yet because he’s looking at Steve, solely at Steve with an utter focus that makes Steve’s heart beat rapidly against his chest, and Steve knows he has to keep Tony safe. No matter what. So he pushes Tony away and tries to ignore the look of utter hurt and betrayal on Tony’s face as Steve demands Tony leave, now!

As Tony runs off, he finally sees the mob of people heading towards the castle and a feeling of understanding and dread wash over him. He turns back to the castle to face the mob. Before they reach the gate, Tony stops them, showing them Steve through the magic mirror - the mirror Steve gave him earlier when Tony wanted to see an old project, the Iron Man, that he’d had to leave behind when he ran off - to show that Steve is harmless, and they riot all the more when they see Steve’s “ghastly” figure. They quickly hold Tony back when Tiberius angrily spouts that Tony is in love with the beast, and charges forward. A few minutes pass, and Tony finally breaks free and rushes to the castle. 

When Steve saw the alphas coming, he warned everyone in the castle, telling them that they should leave, but everyone refused to listen, demanding they stay and fight. And so, with Steve leading them, they begin fighting to keep their castle safe. Steve realizes that the leader, Tiberius Stone, is after him in particular, and so he leads the man away from the fight in hopes of protecting everyone and finishing this battle. When Tony arrives back, he joins the fight and searches for Steve. Figuring out the man is upstairs, Tony bolts to find him. He sees Tiberius shoot Steve in the arm and watches Steve fall to the landing below. Wrestling for the gun, Tony gets it away from Tiberius to save Steve. He runs down the stairs to reach Steve, but Steve is pushed onto one of the castles bridges by Tiberius who jumped down to the landing. They fight, Steve quick and clever in his movements, and he beats Tiberius who begs for his life. Steve gives it to him, and makes a superhuman jump back towards Tony as the bridge begins crumbling beneath his feet. He makes it, and Tony pulls Steve into his arms, telling Steve that he better not ever do that to Tony again. Tony is going to fight by Steve’s side for the rest of his life, and if ever underestimates him and pushes him away again, Tony will cut off some very important parts. Steve laughs, and he promises never to do that again, and they stare into each other’s eyes, like they’re about to kiss when a shot rings out and Steve stumbles forward, a look of pain flashing across his features. Tony realizes what’s happened when he sees more blood pooling in Steve’s suit, and cries out, catching Steve as he tumbles to the floor. Neither pay attention as Tiberius falls from the crumbling stone on the castle bridge.

Below them, the Avengers are winning and chase out the mob only to realize that their limbs are growing stiffer, their humanity finally beginning to slip away. They say their goodbyes to one another as they stiffen and begin turning into inanimate objects.

Steve, above them, lays dying and finally confesses his feelings for Tony, who’s holding Steve’s head in his lap, tears running down his cheeks. In the dark corners of the castle, Loki appears, watching silently as the last petal of the rose begins to fall. Before it can touch the bottom, though, Tony tells Steve that he loves him too. Suddenly, a light encompasses Steve, shining from where he’s been shot, first, before bursting from his finger tips and toes and his eyes, nose and mouth as he lifts into the air. Tony steps away and watches in shock as the light encompasses Steve before fading. When Steve’s feet touch the ground, he’s much taller, ticker, and the most gorgeous alpha Tony’s ever seen. Well, Steve ties with the small alpha Tony first met all those months ago, but Steve is gorgeous and strong and so unbelievably happy, that Tony falls even more in love with him right then and there. Steve stumbles forward, not used to this body, and Tony catches him, looking up into familiar blue eyes, and Steve smiles so widely at him, Tony can’t help but mimic the look on his own features. And they finally kiss. 

In the epilogue, Tony and Steve are in the castle, having a simple breakfast when the Avengers all come in, one by one, all human once again, and join them in their meal. They’re all excited for the wedding to take place that night. Tony and Steve share a smile as they eat, looking fondly at each other and then their friends. That evening, they get married, and they bond that night, truly promising themselves to one another for the rest of their lives.

Leon looks, and elbows gently elbows Juno’s up arm.

Leon: (whispers) Oy, mate, look alive.

Juno: Huh?

Leon: One our gym leader’s coming, it’s considered rude to ignore them.

Juno: Gotcha.

The two stood up, Leon fixing his tie, and Juno brushing her dress as the as the elderly Pokémon trainer walks over, Leon smiling sweetly at and bows.

Leon: Evening, ma’ma.

Opal: Hello, young Leon. Lovely to see you, love.

Leon: You as well. You looks lovely this evening.

Opal: Oh, such a gentleman. Thank you, dear.

Riply walks up to Opal and greats with a friendly ‘Pika’.

Opal: Oh, hello there. (smiles at him) Who’s the little Chap began too?

Arin: He’s my partner, Ma’am.

Opal: (looks at her) And you are, my dear?

Juno: (curtsies) I’m Juno  Andrews from Kanto.

Opal: Ah! The Kanto savior. (smiles brightly) What a lovely treat this. Isn’t it, Leon.

Leon: Indeed, Opal. (winks at Juno)

Juno blushes a bit, and Opel smiles happily.

Opel: My dear, I have heard so much heroic stories about stories about you. Fighting those dreadful Team Rocket. Giovanni was ann absolute scoundrel of a man, never did like him, always knew he was rotten trainer and man.

Opal: (huff) Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea. Come, Lady Juno, do tell me about your adventures.

Juno: Um, y-yes. C’mon, Riply.

Riply: Pikachu. (he jumps onto Arin’s shoulder)

The two ladies walk back into the party, Juno holding me her arm to Opal as the two began talking.

Leon: ... Okay, did... that just happened?? (looks at Charizard) Charizard, Mate! We just met our hero! WE MET CHARMIN ARIN! JUNO IS HUGE FAN OF US!!!

Charizard let out an Excited rawr, while Rose looks over and sees Juno happily talking to Opal about her past adventures.

Juno was smiling a sweetly at the elder trainer. She had beautiful smile.

Leon: She’s brilliant! Absolutely brilliant, right, Mr. Chairman!?

Rose: Huh?! Oh, yes. Champion Juno is, um, lovely. Truly. (gose a little pink)

He watches as Juno holds up an ultra ball, and Wanda the Sylveon come. The Fairy Pokémon smiles happily at her trainer.

Juno: And this Wanda.

Opal: Aww, what darling Sylveon, and also very pink. (kneels down to Wanda)

Wanda walks Opal letting the sweet old lady petting her head.

Juno: She’s very sweet, and one of my strongest Pokémon, right?

Wanda lets out a proud yelp and nods.

Opal: I can see that. (stands up, and looks at Juno, Riply and Wanda) What a lovely team you have, Lady Juno. I do hope you and I can have a lovely Pokémon Battle soon.

Rose: (smiles politely) I look forward it, ma’am.

Opal gives Juno and her sweet smile and walks away to join the rest of the party.

Juno smiles, and let Riply and Wanda to go over and play with the other Pokémon as Rose walks over.

Rose: (thinking) Okay, steady on, old boy, just talk to her... You can do that... (walks to Arin) Heh, so, lovely party?

Juno: Huh? (looks at him) Oh, yes, it’s great.

Rose: So... How long are you planning on staying in the Galar  region?

Juno: Hm? I’m not sure, probably for a long time. I have a Pokémon Battle with Opal.

Rose: Heh. Is that right? (smiles) You better watch yourself, Champion Arin, she’s a tough one.

Juno: I heard, and I’m looking forward to it.

Rose: Heh. You...? Are you planning on staying Galar Region for long

Juno: Yeah, I differently. Wanna explore more of Galar. See what the sights and Pokémon. Already got a evolved my Corisquire into Corikight, so want learn more about this place as much as I can.

Rose: Sounds like a brilliant plan. And after that?

Juno: Well, I haven’t thought that far ahead, but... I not sure if I’m going back Kalos at all.

Rose: Oh. I didn’t know you were living in Kalos.

Juno: Yeah, I was traveling ... um, met someone and stayed about a few years.

Rose: Oh... So you are ... you are spoken for then.

Juno didn’t say anything at first as she was watching Wanda and Riply, lets out sigh.

Arin: Well, no... It’s a long story. I don’t want to get into it.

Rose nods, and takes a sip of his wind, trying to find the words but he opens his mouth.

Rose:: Well, then since you’re planning on staying for a while, maybe I... Well... (clears throat) I was wondering, Juno we you care to accompany me for lunch at, um, some point.

Juno blinks and looks him, he was smiling politely but was sweating bullets.

Juno: Are... you asking me on a date?

Rose: I... Um... (blushes more) Well... Yes... (thinking) Bloody hell, I missed up.

Juno: Yeah, I would really like that , Mr. Chairman.

Rose: (eyes lights up) R-Really?!

Arin nods and smiles, the Chairman’s face lights up, more smiles back.

Rose: Oh, well, fantastic. Hullbury city, there’s a lovely seafood restaurant. Dose. Thursday night at 6 o’clock?

Juno: Yeah, works for. But... (looks over at Oleana)

She was standing near by, watching the two off them closely.

Arin: Um, is she coming with us, right?

Juno: Don’t worry, I’m scheduling her to take the day off.

Juno: Oh, thank god. (sighs, and smiles) See you this Thursday.

Rose nods and watches as she walks away to Riply and Wanda.

Rose lets out sigh, walks away and mentally cheers to himself.

Rose: (thinking) SHE SAID YES!! WELL DONE ROSE! OKAY... Okay... just be professional, you’re at a party, plus Olestra will be on me about that.

He walked back into where few people greeted him

That was known, and had been known since he was born. His mother birthed him, crying, naked, and completely unmarked. Bucky Barnes had a soulmate, once, but that time had long since passed. His mark was on his arm, the one he lost. Whether the soulbond was severed or not is uncertain, but the 70 years of captivity surely destroyed any hope for finding them. Then there was the eclipse.

But the Engineer is a faulty asset. She thinks things that may get her killed one day. She wants things that she shouldn’t, that are not hers to want.

Which, he knew on an intellectual level, should feel strange. It should be weird that he can hear electronics talking to themselves and taste electricity like mint on his tongue, but it didn’t feel weird. At this point he was just rolling with it and saving the freakout for later; he also wasn’t discounting the possibility that he was, in fact, losing his mind. Tony Stark comes out of Afghanistan with powers he doesn't understand and the determination to make the most of the second chance he'd been given. Even though he saves the world (a lot), the most important thing he does may be when he gives others that same second chance. Word Count: 32,296

Tony does his duty, becomes a wolf in name only, toothless and clawless, and a dark, gleaming ornament for the King, even if he would make himself a widower a hundred times over. Honour demanded it of him, and so he did. But it is Ser James Barnes, named the Kingslayer for his sins during the Rebellion, that draws his eye, gives him comfort in this pit of liars and monsters. So, what is honour compared to a good man's love? They are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. Word Count: 33,192

#tonystarkbingo #tonystarkbingo2019 #weekly roundup #week 17 #week 17 roundup

[vagrantblvrd]

Fantasy AU where Tony is still >:(((((((((((( about magic which is somewhat inconvenient as he’s all-over magical, which just makes him more >:((((((((((((((((( about magic.

Also he has a tiny dragon familiar JARVIS ( just another rather intelligent serpent???) who is *SIGH* about many of Tony’s life choices because of course this is the person he’s pledged himself to for the rest of their lives, of course he is.

Cannot decide if Pepper as Tony’s knight in shining armor is best or Pepper as shapeshifting dragon doing her best to keep Tony from doing (too) stupid things is best? Rhodey is definitely Tony’s knight in shining armor and Happy as captain of the guard???

Dum-E, U, and Butterfingers as minor demons Tony summoned???

Tony accidentally summoned Dum-E at while at magic person school after having too much to drink? U and Butterfingers happened because Dum-E was lonely and missed his siblings and Tony’s exactly the kind of idiot who thinks having a trio of minor demons wandering around his workshop is a good idea, so.

(To be fair, Dum-E did save his life that time Stane tried to kill Tony, so all in all it’s worked out for him even if Dum-E is a menace.)

Also, Steve and the Avengers as assorted heroic types that Tony meets that results in Adventure and Danger and probably Romance???

(Fury, though, definitely sky-pirate with the flying ship and Hill as his second in command and Coulson off to the side being Coulson.)

And then shenanigans, I guess?

#marvel nonsense #avengers nonsense #technically not a fic #vagrant fic #(insomnia amirite??? #¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #)
