Recovery: Post-Battle at the Binary Stars AU with Philippa recovering on earth while Michael is back on the Shenzhou.

~

'And write me every day,' Michael had asked Philippa to promise before they had parted ways. 'We will not always be in range to call, but-'

'I know,' Philippa had said, smiling as she bumped one of her crutches against Michael's uniformed leg. 'I will write, and send pictures as well so you won't worry as much.'

Michael had frowned then, had said that she knew there was nothing to be concerned about, but now, lightyears apart from her beloved, she can't help but worry. She knows Philippa is recovering, but being unable to be there by her side... It is making her feel uneasy, at edge.

Her personal communicator pings, and, currently not busy with anything urgent, Michael pulls it out to see a message from Philippa:

'They're not letting me do much here, so I am out of danger, don't worry. I had my physical therapist take a picture'

Michael smiles, then quickly puts back her communicator before anyone can catch her at it. Philippa knows that she is working and will see that she read the message, she can answer it later.

When Michael goes back to her communicator after her shift, there's a new picture and a message for her:

'Maybe it is good for me to feel real air again. But I do miss you.'

There's an audio file attached, and Michael can't help the soft smile showing on her lips. How did Philippa guess that she had been missing her voice?

'Thank you for the pictures. You are beautiful as always, and I am glad that you are doing alright. Listening to your audiofile now- love, Michael'

She types and hits send before clicking play on the audio.

"Hello, Michael..."

The smile is audible in Philippa's voice, and Michael has to close her eyes for a moment to stop herself from crying before she settles in on her bed to listen to Philippa tell her about her day.

Cold as Ice, Warm my Heart by lil_aussie_girl for parkrstark (MCU, 1.5k)

The cold took away one love already, and his greatest fear is that it will do it again - before he has the chance to say those three important words.

Strength Like The Sea/A Familiar Yet Foreign Face by Lacrimula_Falsa for funkyspacegirlfriend (AU, 3k)

There had to be another explanation for the ugly burning feeling in his chest because this wasn’t a rom-com and he’d known Steve for less than a day.

After years of his father fruitlessly searching for one, Tony finally gets to meet a real-life vampire.

· · ·*‒*‒ ‒ ‒*‒ ·*‒ · ‒ ‒

Anthony.

No, not Anthony, because Anthony had crumbled to dust right before his eyes. But this man looked so eerily similar to him, he could have been Anthony’s twin brother. Only the eyes were different, warm brown instead of cold blue. After being woken nearly a century after he went into stasis because the pain of losing his lover Anthony was too much, Steven meets a man who looks just like him.

I Know There is Comfort Where We Overlap by jellybeanforest for ghosthan (Ults, 10k)

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.

finding steve rogers by jacobby for geekymoviemom (MCU, 6k)

Steve sighs. “Sorry. I wasn’t a very good tour guide. Ma always told me about the town, but she never got into specifics.”

Tony takes Steve’s hand in his and places it close to his lips. “It’s your first time here too. We understand.”

AKA

After a botched mission with SHIELD, Steve takes a vacation with his family to a town in Ireland.

Things are knot as they seem by BladeoftheNebula for DepressingGreenie (AU, 3k)

Everyone assumes Captain America is an alpha and Steve doesn’t see the harm in not correcting them. After all, Alphas command respect while omegas are still considered far too delicate for leadership.

And sure, it sucks hiding his designation when he’s in love with Tony Stark, the hottest alpha he’s ever seen, but what alpha would want an omega who could lift them with one hand?

So it’s fine. It’s not as if anyone was ever going to find out his secret anyway…

A drop of love by CapAL for Perlmutt (AU, Comic)

After sleeping for 70 years Steve wakes up to a world that he doesn’t understand. As an age-old vampire he’s seen a lot of things in his life, but nothing has ever confused him as much as the bubbly Starbucks barista Tony. They meet by chance and Steve stays. He falls for him, even though he knows he shouldn’t, and together they explore modern New York, while Steve tries to hide his true nature from Tony, afraid that he would send him away if he knew the truth.

The Fake Prince and the Cat  by Neverever for Fluffypanda (AU, 5.5k)

Steve is sent in place of Prince Brock to marry the libertine Tony Stark. It's better than he thought it would be, plus he makes friends with a cat.

father to son by parkrstark for HogwartsToAlexandria (MCU, 2.5k)

Steve had been planning on asking Peter to be his son, officially, for weeks now, but he always chickened out because he didn't thik he was good enough for the boy. Funnily enough, Peter had the same idea, but when he showed the adoption papers to Steve, he didn't have the best of reactions.

The Best Half Of Me by Huntress79 for RoseRose (AU, 1.5k)

An encounter with one of his exes at a charity gala opens Tony’s eyes about how much he really loves Steve - and how much he’s looking forward to their future together.

neither here nor there by ghosthan for  Welcoming_Disaster (616, 18k)

Captain America comes back from Dimension Z changed. He has had over a decade of his life taken from him, as well as the woman he loved. Stoic, secretive, and traumatized, much of what he experienced remains a mystery to SHIELD and the world; Tony is there to help him heal, and uncover the truth about how much Steve has lost.

The Eventide Aspect by geekymoviemom for ishipallthings (MCU, T, 12k)

“Yeah, Cap, about that,” Tony says, looking rather sheepish as he scratches at the back of his neck.

“Yeah?” asks Steve.

“Well… remember those half-baked ideas that I mentioned?  I’m afraid this might be one of ‘em,” says Tony.

“Okay.  Care to explain it to someone who doesn't speak technical?”

“Ahh…” Tony trails off, mumbling under his breath again.  “Yeah.  Um… if my theory is correct, I’m thinking that when we stepped through that window, we might’ve entered another dimension.”

Looking by Robin_tCJ for Vento_Lunar (MCU, E, 4k)

After a raid on a HYDRA base, Steve's body reverts back to the way it was before the serum. Tony still wants him.

You Had Me in the First Half by Corsets_and_Cardigans for Robin_tCj (MCU, E, 2k)

Steve is on his way to meet Bucky for a movie before their football team goes away for a game. Too bad Tony has plans for him! He'll apologize to Bucky for it later.

the rest is history by starksnack for muchmoremajestic (Avengers Academy, G, 2k)

It's Steve's birthday and he usually likes to spend it alone. Of course, Tony has other ideas.

Basically just some soft AvAc fluff.

(Let Me) Love and Be Loved by HeLovedYou for wikketkrikket (MCU, T, 6k)

Steve forgets how to self-sabotage his own happiness.

He also forgets his team, his soulmate and the last three years of his life.

avengers featuring steve’s doppleganger vol 1 (FANCOMIC) by wingheads for jellybeanforrest (616, Art)

tony dates a man who looks a lot like steve. everyone can see it, everyone knows what that means, except tony, who doesn't seem to realize he's dating steve's doppelganger. steve doesn't see the resemblance either and actually comes to like tony's new boyfriend, but then one of the other avengers spills the beans that they look exactly alike to tony, who can't unsee it now and breaks up with the new guy, only for steve to be sad that his baseball-buddy won't be around anymore.

Hart Island by Amber_Skye for lil_aussie_girl (MCU, G, 12k)

Steve is acting out of character, and Tony and the other Avengers can’t work out why.

the soul of dragons by funkyspacegirlfriend for Amber_Skye (MCU, T, 2k)

Learning Curve by picturecat for Huntress79 (Avengers Academy AU, G, 2k)

Freshly defrosted, Steve Rogers is the newest teacher at the Avengers Academy—an attempt to guide and teach the newest generation of heroes before they have to take on the burdens of their teachers. Steve himself has a lot of learning to do.

First Impression by veryvincible for wingheads (616, M, 7k)

The Avengers find the schematics of a deadly weapon in the hands of an up-and-coming villain. To safely retrieve the data that led to its creation and keep the city safe in the process, they have to take a very subtle approach. The man-- Jack Marshall-- has an eye for hunks and a tendency to get vulnerable with them. The team could use this to their advantage, if they have the right assets.

Enter Steve.

Dandelions and Lilies by Wikketkrikket for CapAL (AU, G, 4k)

Written for CapAL for the StonylovesSteve event 2021.

A summer job in the florists is pretty good, as summer jobs go; and when a handsome guy comes in with some very particular requirements it gets even better.

Or it would, if Steve wasn't lying about the meaning of every bouquet he sold.

Potshot by jellybeanforest for jacobby (AU, T, 2.5k)

In an expansive wasteland infested with hordes of the undead, Steve, leader of a group of ex-military operatives known as the Avengers, searches for survivors and supplies in the ruins of the old world.

That’s all well and good, but Tony would do just about anything for an American cheeseburger.

For Stony Loves Steve 2021. Based on a prompt by jacobby.

Remorse and Rapture by oliverparker for optimusprime13 (AU, E, 6k)

When Steve's mother falls ill, he's forced to move in with the family she works for. He's not thrilled about it.

Shards of Eternities by Perlmutt for starksnack (AU, T, 5k)

Rumor had it that the war would soon be over. It could not end soon enough. Until then, Anthony would wait for Steven. He would wait and protect their child. He would wait and write another thousand letters for his alpha, his mate, his husband, if only he would come home, come for him, come for them.

Two Can Play That Game by JehBeEhh for Becci Barnes (BeccEEE) (MCU, T, 4k)

Tony Stark is many things. Patient isn't always one of them. Especially not when there's a happily ever after at the end of that bout of patience.

Uncovered by mariana_oconnor for Corsets_and_Cardigans (MCU, G, 6k)

Steve didn't think the tip-off was anything more than the usual nonsensical conspiracy theory. He only went to check it out because he was curious. He definitely wasn't expecting it to be a trap.

Build Me Up Buttercup by ishipallthings for BladeoftheNebula (4k, M, MCU)

Tony sees the gold letters spelling “Stark” on the edge of Steve’s hood and his mind grinds to a halt. Steve looks good wearing his name. Too good.

(In which Steve starts experimenting with a new style. Tony does not find this infuriatingly attractive, thank you very much.)

Discovery [Art] by Fluffypanda for captainstars (Art, G, Noir)

Renowned adventurer Tony Stark discovers a carving of a lost civilization's protector.

I left my heart (at home with you) by captainstars for UisceOneLove (2k, G, AU)

It shouldn’t have surprised him as much as it did.

The man grinned at him, wide and beautiful. Steve couldn’t help sneaking another glance towards the heavens. They really lost their citizens fairly easily. Steve would like to say this was the first white robed beauty he had come across until now, but he wasn’t.

(OR)

Steve moved to a cabin in the woods hoping to live the life of a hermit werewolf. When Tony Stark decided to become his new neighbor, it threw a bit of a wrench into Steve’s plans.

(OR)

A werewolf and an incubus cuddling in a tree.

Raspberry Beret (I Think I Love Her) by ralsbecket for oliverparker (4k, M, 3490)

When Steve looked at Natasha, he knew in his heart that she was what put his derailed train back on its tracks. For the first time since they met, Steve felt like he had some semblance of a plan for his future. And he wanted Natasha to be a part of it.

Savior Complex by optimusprime13 for HeLovedYou (18.5k, G, AU)

Wealthy businessman Steve Rogers stumbles into barely-getting-by Tony Stark in a cemetery, and they hit it off immediately. Steve is enamored by Tony’s razor-sharp wit, his startling intelligence, and his penchant for building stuff. He has a problem though - he can’t stop wanting to save everybody around him, especially Tony - who is struggling to make ends meet. However, Tony is too proud and stubborn to accept any help from Steve. But when Tony gets kidnapped to act as bait for Steve, how far will Steve go to save Tony when it means sacrificing himself?

Through His Stomach by RoseRose for JehBeeEh (2k, G, MCU)

Steve decides he wants to try to cook with all the new ingredients he has found in this new time, but he needs someone else to taste-test his creations. Tony is holed up in his workshop, so he makes the perfect guinea pig. The two of them grow closer over several meals.

Iron & Sapphire by Becci Barnes (BeccEEE) for Lacrimula_Falsa (AU, 5k)

Steve can always sense him, long before Tony enters his cave. It makes his blue scales tremble and his big wings flutter in excitement. Tony brings light and warmth into this musty hideout he calls home. And food. And while they may be as odd a couple as you can imagine, that won't stop them from bantering and cuddling just like anyone else.

Man On The Moon by Welcoming_Disaster for veryvincible (616, 7k)

Things haven't been the same since Steve has found out about Tony's secret identity. A mission that goes wrong forces both of them to confront why.

I Love You to the Moon and Back by muchmoremajestic for mariana_oconnor (MCU, 3k)

After Steve gets attacked in the woods, certain changes start happening.

Happy Birthday to America's ass by njava97 for ralsbecket (MCU, 2.5k)

It's the night before Steve's birthday and something is very wrong.

Magic's in the Moving Portrait by UisceOneLove for neverever (AU, 9.5k)

Without his ma, Steve's lost his ability to make art. In walks new wizarding student Tony Stark, who also happens to be his new roommate. All hope might not be lost just yet for him and his brush.

Reach The Sky by Vento_Lunar for njava97 (MCU, art)

Non-serum Steve Rogers saves the world. (And Tony saves him)

Father’s Day (Chapter 3)

(Next chapter is up and running! I hope you enjoy!)

(Chapter 1) (Chapter 2)

Even to this day, Deceit was baffled at the sheer power Virgil had. Perhaps it had to do with how long he’d been alone. Perhaps it was more about how adorable the little side was. Regardless of the reason, Deceit marveled at the way Virgil changed his life. In the span of three weeks, the Dark Side had gone from being as welcoming as a cold and desolate wasteland, to feeling like an actual home. 

When he’d first been brought inside, Virgil had refused to let him go. No matter how much he patted his back, or mumbled what few comforting words he knew, Virgil would not release him from his tiny grasp. Deceit had sighed, opting for using two pairs of his arms to hold the little one while he went about his day with the other pair. At first it was awkward. He was so unused to having another presence there, much less so firmly planted on his chest, that it was difficult at first to function normally. Cleaning, already a bit of a chore, was more difficult with the little bundle in his arms. Cooking had to be done with the utmost care, to ensure the little one would not get burned or cut in the process. The smell of food, with a little coaxing, was enough to convince the new side to let go as they sat down to eat. Deceit barely ate during that time, too busy making sure that Virgil was eating well and he wasn’t choking or spilling anything, but he couldn’t find it in him to care. That night, he’d made the little one pyjamas using a fresh pillow case, since he didn’t have any little clothes at hand. The tiny side had behaved for as long as it took to get the garment on, then immediately went back to clutching Deceit’s shirt for dear life. Again the lying side couldn’t care less, laying down ever so gently in his bed as they both drifted off to sleep. 

That is more or less how their days went. Deceit got up, got a quick shower, and got dressed. Virgil would sit on the bed, waiting, and when he returned he would make grabby hands until Deceit took him up into his arms. Deceit would go about his day, keeping them both (but mostly Virgil) well fed and hydrated, and at night they would sleep curled up in the same (and only) bed. Many a time, Deceit wondered if Virgil ever noticed anything about his face. After all, he was horrendous. Surely, it must unsettle the younger side, to some degree? But Virgil remained uncaring, or at least, that’s what Deceit thought. Perhaps he was too scared to speak up, to voice his disgust. He hadn’t really said much of anything since they’d met. He began to doubt himself, thinking that, perhaps, the only reason Virgil had yet to flee, was because he was afriad of Deceit. The thought put a bitter taste in Dee’s mouth, making him a little more wary towards the smaller side. 

Soon, however, he discovered all those doubts shouldn’t have bothered him at all. Four days after bringing the new side home for the first time, Deceit woke up in the middle of the night to a quiet weeping. He turned on his night light and, upon further inspection he noticed the little boy was no longer in his arms or in bed with him, but in a corner of the room, curled into the tiniest ball he could manage. Deceit carefully got out of bed, kneeling before him. 

“Little one?” He asked, keeping his voice down. “Whatever is the matter?”

Virgil looked up, fat tears sliding down from all four of his eyes. “B-Bad…..” He whimpered, sniffling.

Deceit frowned, feeling his heart ache. “Bad dream?” He guessed, earning a tiny nod from the small side. Deceit reached forwards, and Virgil practically rammed into his chest, sobbing louder. The long legs protruding from his back curled around Deceit’s rib cage, effectively locking him in place. Deceit summoned his extra arms, wrapping them around Virgil as he carefully got back into bed.

“Care to tell me what it was about?” The lying side had inquired once his sobbing had lessened. Virgil appeared hesitant, biting his bottom lip.

“I-I’m…...I-I’m not….not…do y-you…..” He stammered, trying to get the words out. Deceit waited patiently for him to continue, not wanting to make him feel pressured or forced.

“Yes, little one?” He encouraged. 

Virgil hiccuped a little, eyes tearing up again. “A-Am I s-scary?” He mumbled, followed by another whine. 

Deceit looked at him with wide, confused eyes. “Why no, you’re not. What made you think that you are?”

Virgil hid his face in Dee’s chest, hands and legs tightening. “.....saw a-a b-book.” He said softly. “Bout…..’bout spiders.” 

Deceit mentally chastised himself. He’d been reading up on spiders to better understand Virgil’s needs, since he’d very quickly made the connection upon first laying eyes on him. He’d carelessly assumed the little side was asleep in his lap, but as it turned out, he’d been incorrect. 

“What about the book?” He asked, gently rubbing his back.

“Said…..said spiders a-are….m-mean a-and….s-scary…..a-and people r-run…...r-run away!” He began to cry again, shaking from head to toe. “I don’t w-wanna b-be l-lonely again! Don’t w-want y-you to g-go!”

Deceit stared down at the little side, shocked. He felt tears come to his own eyes as he tried his best to comfort him. “Shhh, it’s okay little one. It’s alright. I’m not going anywhere any time soon.” He told him, ever so gently running his fingers through Virgil’s hair. 

“P-Promise?” He whispered, sounding unsure. Deceit nodded, kissing the top of his crown. 

“I swear it, my spiderling. I’ll never leave you. You’ll never be alone again.”  

Since that night, Virgil began acting differently. He let Deceit go without too much fuss when he had to do things with his hands, but always remained in the same room (or right outside the door if he was in the bathroom). He would talk to him more, and always begged Deceit to read him stories in his down time. Deceit taught him everything he knew about everything, and to his surprise, he found himself wanting to learn more about things so that he could teach them to Virgil. Something about the younger side made him want to do better, to learn more, to be the best parental figure he could be. Virgil became his motivation, his purpose, his reason for being alive. He made toys and collected books from the library to share with him. He found paint and pretty lights, discarded by the Light Sides up above, and used them to decorate a bedroom just for Virgil. Every day he woke up to the little side poking his cheek, or nuzzling into his neck, or up on the wall with his spider legs. And every day he felt himself growing more and more fond of his company. Before he knew it, he was laughing, smiling, playing games, all things he never thought he would be able to do. Waking up and getting out of bed was no longer an impossible task, cooking became a fun family activity, snuggling by the fire on cold nights filled him with more warmth than the flames alone could ever provide. Truly, Virgil was the beauty to his beast, seeing him not as a monster or a freak, but as a caregiver, a friend, a-

“Papa!” Virgil tugged at Deceit’s pant leg. Deceit looked down, smiling at the little boy. Virgil held his arms up, but Deceit could tell his spider legs were holding something behind his back. 

“Yes, Virgil? What is it?” He set aside the book he’d been reading, pulling Virgil up onto his lap. 

“Look!” Virgil twisted around, grabbing a poorly wrapped parcel and handing it over.

“What’s this? A present? For me?” Deceit took it carefully. “It’s not my birthday, is it?”

Virgil shook his head. “It’s Papa’s Day!” He told him, grinning. His smile faded a little, replaced by worry. “A-And you give p-presents on Papa’s Day, right?” 

Deceit planted a kiss on his head. “Yes, you do.” He nodded. “May I open it?”

Virgil nodded, fidgeting a little. The purple spider onesy Deceit had made for him bunched up as he tugged at it, waiting for his reaction.

Deceit carefully unwrapped the present, looking down at it in shock. It was a bowler hat, or at least what was supposed to be a bowler hat. Upon closer inspection, Deceit noticed it was stuck together with messy stitches and spiderwebs, clearly Virgil’s best efforts. 

“Is it okay? D-Do you like it?” Virgil asked, wide eyes looking up at him for confirmation.

“Virgil, I….” Deceit bit back tears as he hugged it to his chest. “I love it, my little spiderling. It’s absolutely perfect.” He put the hat on his head, pulling Virgil close in a warm embrace.

Virgil’s four eyes widened, a huge smile on his face. “Love you, Papa!” He nuzzled into Deceit’s chest. 

Dee rubbed his back, feeling so warm and so happy and so in love. “I love you too, Virgil.”

Deceit received many Father’s Day gifts since then, from both Remus and Virgil, but no other was better than the very first present that had ever been given to him. Father’s Day remained his favorite day of the year, for years to come. Unfortunately, as everyone knows…..

All good things must come to an end.
