Time Stood Still by ABrighterDarkness, Illustration by Laidraws for @cap_ironman rbb!

Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, MCU, 13,463 words, rated T

“What would you do if you didn’t have to return?”

Tony’s eyes were closed against the late-Summer sun, far more relaxed than he could recall ever being as they laid in the deep grass beneath the trees. The easy contentment, the relaxation was a common thread running through his time in this strange place.

Even still, he had to smile.

That question, yet again.

----

I got to work with the lovely and talented ABrighterDarkness on this year's cap_iron reverse big bang! I'm so excited about our collaboration and I hope you love it too. It's full of beautiful descriptive scenery, fae magic, romance, and of course, Stony!

SteveTony Weekly - Week 24 - Favorite Authors

Tomorrow is my birthday, you guys! Which means this weekend I’m hanging out with my kids and reading some of my favorite things which ALSO means--y’all get a list of my favorite authors. This is by no means a complete list--I love too many folks to do a complete list of everyone, but here's some that always make me happy. Ready? :) 

~

Sineala - Ok so I know everyone loves @sineala because of fucking course they do, have your READ their fic?? But also, I adore everything I’ve read by Sineala, and what I really truly love is how sineala weaves comic canon into the fics and also into the author notes, making it super accessible to the folks who haven’t read as much. I’ve learned as much about comic Stevetony from there as I have from reading comics, tbh. Sineala is especially amazing at soulmate aus (who doesn’t love slipping off the pages into your hands and never too late for love) but I’m also utterly enamored with the rare aus like straight on till morning and like a comet streaming on.

 Complicationstoo - what I love about complicationstoo is how gentle Steve and Tony are with each other. Every single fic (and there are many!!) ache with longing and pining and a quiet gentleness that I can’t get enough with. The fic read like a warm hug, from things like dust off your highest hopes and take me away to you, to low angst sports romance like ice prince. Highly highly recommend. 

meidui - so it’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of @meuidi’s work. From the first time I read her work in angels who sin to her soft homewrecker Steve in this love came back to me to the puppy love and gentle adoration of Tony in there are still beautiful things, what I love about meidui is that she is so soft with Steve. He’s treated gently but never in an out of character way, and that’s a hard line to straddle. 

sirona - I fell in love with sirona’s fic with their gorgeous look at Tony growing up with Steve as a figure in his world with party girls don’t get hurt and got hooked on their college au i wanna hold your hand. And I love with my whole heart is the sexy and gorgeous our rain-washed histories (don’t need to be told.)  Honestly, everything is so so well done. 

Sabrecmc - @sabrecmc writes so many fantastic AU’s and they’re so long and lovely--so easy to drop into and not surface until hours later or the next day, has happened, I def greeted morning from the wrong side the first time I read some of her work. Also, there’s just--celestial navigation and a higher form of war are just in a class all their own. And catching lighting in a bottle is so lovely, with the angst and the pining and the Howard’s bullshit--I love it. 

Copperbadge - Copperbadge writes just--really fantastically well. But they also nail characterization sooo well I can’t get over it. From the quiet desperation and angst of homefront to one of my favorite fem!Tony versions in Ironsides and the absolutely hysterical Reputation--I love every bit of their work.

A Stony rec list for when you're stuck in the airport

I recently had to spend too much time trapped at Chicago O'Hare airport (about 20 hours) and filled that time with Stony fanfic. So if you ever find yourself in that same situation, these are my recs.

Also, try to avoid that situation if at all possible. It's not fun.

What Lies Beneath by asktheravens (@alittlethor) (Stony | Explicit | 38,726 words | Graphic Depictions Of Violence)

Summary: All Tony wants is to make amends after a thoughtless reaction leaves him in danger of losing Steve, but a mission intervenes. The Avengers travel to a laboratory in a remote part of Appalachia expecting a routine job, but an ancient evil slumbers within Old Crow Mountain that will test much more than their relationship.

Never for the Dragon by ladyshadowdrake (@lightshadowverisimilitude) (Stony | Mature | 89,022 words)

Note: this is an especially great one to pick if you enjoy crying in public

Summary: On what should be a routine mission to disable an abandoned Hydra base, Steve is captured by persons unknown. Getting him back should have been the hard part, but that’s just the beginning of a new danger facing the planet.

More below the cut!

Living on Your Breath by Sineala (@sineala) (Stony | Explicit | 110,343 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: The Avengers have faced Onslaught and come home. The team has assembled again. And Steve is finally together with Tony. They're in love. Everything is perfect. But this happiness is all too brief, as Tony is kidnapped by forces unknown. Steve rushes off to rescue Tony, only to find that Tony has been brainwashed and turned against him. Now Steve, captured and tortured by the man he loves, must sacrifice everything he has to stop Tony from becoming a monster. Their relationship will never be the same again... if they both get out of here alive.

And I Am Whole by Sineala (@sineala) (Stony | Mature | 21,386 words)

Summary: A year after their captivity, Steve and Tony reclaim the rest of their lives together.

Straight on till Morning by Sineala (@sineala) (Stony | Explicit | 109,848 words)

Summary: Tony Stark resigned his commission in Starfleet five years ago, after a disastrous away mission, and he swore he'd never go back. He just wants to be left alone to build warp engines in peace. But the universe has more in store for him than that, as he discovers when Admiral Fury comes to him with an offer he could never have expected and cannot possibly refuse: first officer and chief engineer aboard the all-new USS Avenger, a starship of Tony's own design. What's more, the Avenger's captain is Steve Rogers, hero of the Earth-Romulan War. Believed dead for over a century, Steve is miraculously alive... and very, very attractive. But nothing is ever easy for Tony. As he wrestles with his secret desire for his new captain and his not-so-dormant fears, another mission starts to go wrong, and Tony becomes aware that Steve has secrets of his own -- and the truth could change everything. Also available as a podfic read by M_Samro (@msamro)

A Long, Lonely Time by asktheravens (@alittlethor) (Stony | Mature | 58,567 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Major Character Death)

Summary: Steve returned from the war injured in body and mind- and able to see the dead. At loose ends and desperate to get out of New York City, he accepts a fellowship through the Stark Foundation and retreats to a quiet lake house on the grounds of the Stark Mansion. He's supposed to be there to paint, but he quickly realizes that the house is more than he bargained for. Anthony Stark died here a decade ago, but was it an accident? A suicide? Or a murder? Obadiah Stane still lives in the main house just up the hill, and the past casts a long shadow. When Tony's ghost begins appearing to him, Steve becomes more entwined in the dangerous mystery surrounding his death. Even worse, he finds himself falling for a man who died a decade ago... Features lots of ghosts, murder, secrets, and supernatural revenge. Also Thor and Rhodey.

MCU Fic Recs #2

Here’s the second part of my MCU rec post series! These are some of my personal favorites from what I’ve read this past week. My current obsession is SentryAgent. Seriously, I can’t get enough of them. I also included the two fics I wrote myself about them – hope you enjoy those too!

One surprise favorite was a Bucky Barnes/John Walker fic… I did not expect to love it as much as I did – OMG!!

And of course, there’s one Stony fic in the mix. I don’t think I could ever abandon my OG ship. There’s always going to be at least one in every post, hahaha.

Hope you enjoy these recs. I definitely recommend checking them out!

Bad News on the Doorstep

Relationship: Robert "Bob" Reynolds/John Walker (Marvel)

Relevant tags: Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Angst, Gunshot Wounds, Tending to Wounds, Robert "Bob" Reynolds Needs a Hug (Marvel), John Walker Being an Asshole (Marvel), John Walker Not Being an Asshole (Marvel), Post-Movie: Thunderbolts (2025)

Summary: After a mission gone wrong, John is badly injured and keeps it to himself. Bob notices something is off and offers to check up on him.

Shut Up And Eat!

Relationship: Robert "Bob" Reynolds/John Walker (Marvel) 

Relevant tags: Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Mental Health Issues, Pre-Slash

Summary: Bob and Walker grow closer. Walker doesn't notice all he does for Bob, but eventually the others do. The thing is, they probably shouldn't have brought it up at the table.

Behind the Scenes

Relationship: Robert "Bob" Reynolds/John Walker (Marvel) 

Relevant tags: Fluff, Thunderbolts Team Members Live in the Watchtower | New Avengers Tower (Marvel), Accidental Relationship, Team as Family, Soft John Walker (Marvel)

Summary: Yelena had been watching Bob and Walker grow closer by the day. Along with the rest of the team, she quietly wondered if they were dating – speculating that maybe they just didn’t want to come out yet. But when the truth could no longer stay hidden, something unexpected happened.

Unintentional

Relationship: Robert "Bob" Reynolds/John Walker (Marvel) 

Relevant tags: Robert "Bob" Reynolds/John Walker (Marvel), Adorable Robert "Bob" Reynolds (Marvel), John Walker-centric (Marvel), accidental wooing, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Fluff and Angst, soft moments, Eventual Smut

Summary: John Walker hadn’t felt like himself in a long time. The rage, the silence, the weight of it all. It hollowed him out and left something unrecognizable behind. So when helping Bob, the ever-smiling, impossibly kind teammate, made something inside him feel almost... normal, John latched onto it. Fixating on Bob became a mission. A distraction. A way to feel useful again.

He didn’t expect it to become more. He didn’t expect him to become more.

don’t tell me that you know me

Relationship: James "Bucky" Barnes/John Walker

Relevant tags: Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Rough Sex, Bottom John Walker (Marvel), Hooking up, they hate each other

Summary: “Only if you wanted to,” Barnes says.

“If I wanted?” Walker asks. Barnes must be doing some sort of mental gymnastics here, because there’s no way he’d ever be suggesting this.

Bucky rolls his hips, and a groan leaves Walker’s lips. “If you want,” Barnes says, soft expression now wiped from his face. A casual shrug.

Walker hates that he’s genuinely considering this. Barnes is impossibly warm, and Walker has been having these faded dreams of hands on his shoulders, thighs pressed against him, lips on his skin.

“Either way, you’ll never let me live this down, right?” Walker asks, because of course Barnes would never give it up.

Barnes just smiles at him.

Walker closes his eyes. He might as well. Feels better than getting punched in the face, and beats the boredom just as effectively.

Second Chance Summer

Relationship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark

Relevant tags: Age Difference, Past-Tony/Ty, Past-Infidelity, Divorced Tony, Happy Ending, University Student Steve, 20-year age gap, Getting Together, Tony is Peter's Dad, Alternate Universe - No Powers, Explicit Sex

Summary: Mid-divorce, the last person Tony is willing to find a second chance at love with is his son's friend, Steve. Steve is hot, unquestionably. But he's twenty years younger than Tony, is a friend of Tony's son, Peter, is a university student, and is twenty years younger.

It's not going to work. He's just going to stay away from Steve.

Okay...he can't stay away from Steve, but it's just going to be a summer fling, nothing more.

Okay...

Cap Iron Man Rec Week 2024 (Tues)

Time Travel Tuesday - July 23rd for @cap-ironman Rec Week

Time-y whimey shenanigans!

Remember to show some love for your hard-working creators!

finding my way back to you by Anonymous (MCU)

Ten minutes after a botched attempt at proposing to Tony, Steve is thrown back in time.

More Than Gravity by JenTheSweetie @jenthesweetie (MCU)

“Aw, time travel, no.” On Christmas Eve, Tony came unstuck in time.

Marty McFly Never Had to Deal with This by sweatervest (MCU)

Tony's latest project goes less "renewable energy" and more "slightly explosive time machine," and Howard Stark arrives from 1946. Why, Steve would like to know, are time and space going to such lengths to cockblock him?

feelings that never left by hollyandvice (MCU)

The last thing Tony expects while working on the time machine for the so-called Time Heist is to be confronted with the very man he thought he'd made his peace with. Guess some wounds run deeper than we think.

Atomic Clock by imparfait (MCU, EG)

It’s ten am on a Tuesday in May when Tony Stark appears in Clint Barton’s barn. Clint trips over him while looking for a toolbox and swears, then swears again, then thinks I need to call Nat, which makes a half-sob punch out of his throat.

A Time to Be Alive by babesrgrs (MCU, EG)

The mission to get the Mind Stone and the Tesseract from 2012 goes a bit differently AKA the slightly snarky but sexy Endgame scene that didn't make the final cut.

Lover Come Hold Me by RurouniHime @thegertie (MCU, EG)

One by one, the stones must go back.

hunters seeking solid ground by laramara @commandersteverogers (MCU, EG)

In the wake of the battle with Thanos, Steve feels unmoored in a way he hasn’t since before he ate shawarma with a group of virtual strangers and thought maybe, maybe he could one day find a place here. Steve returns the stones, and has a few unexpected interactions and makes some decisions along the way.

Mobius Strip by dirigibleplumbing @dirigibleplumbing (MCU, EG)

Steve sets off to return the Infinity Stones. It ends up not being quite as straightforward as he'd imagined.

The Five Stages of a Time Loop by AirlocksandAviaries @airlocksandaviaries (MCU, EG)

Tony Stark looks Thanos in the eye. He raises his gauntlet in defiance and states his iconic phrase. He snaps, expecting death. But death doesn't come. Instead, he's back in his basement, completed time travel model in front of him. He builds the time machine. He snaps again. Again, and again, and again. Tony can't for the life of him seem to change the outcome of this story. What does change, though, is his feelings around it.

That Time Back Then by navaan @navaan (616)

An accident sends Steve and Carol back in time and watching Steve and Iron Man interact gives Steve a new perspective on how blind both of them were all those years ago.

Beside You In Time by Kiyaar @kiyaar (616)

The world is ending: Tony is evil, Steve is old. So there's nothing to stop him from making the (terrible) decision to travel back in time in a last-ditch effort to spare them both: by killing Tony's past self to spare them both from ending up where they've ended up. The Universe has other plans. An honest-to-god fix-it for Superior Iron Man, Hickman's entire run, and pretty much everything since Tony decided it was a good idea to take Extremis way back in 2005.

Mind over Matter by Missy_dee811 @laexploradoraaa (616)

For a brief moment in time, Steve had the power of the universe in his grasp, and he squandered it. The Infinity Gems, with the exception of one, ceased to exist. The Illuminati's last attempt at circumventing the laws of the universe and stopping the incursions before they targeted Earth-616 were eliminated when the precious stones shattered. But that wasn't the only thing that was broken that day. His faith in himself never recovered.

Hope you guys enjoy the recs, and stay tuned! Please mind the tags before reading. Check out my tag for previous years’ rec lists :)

CapIron Big Bang 2024

Read A Hundred Visions and Revisions! (+2 illustrations below)

Ship: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark Rating: M Summary: In the age of Galilei's discoveries, Tony is fascinated by the prospect of a larger universe. Steve is one of the conservatives trying to keep the old world view alive. Their new favorite subject is dragging each other's opinions through the mud in their poems, and Tony is more than happy to feed into this feud. Because he hates Rogers. Hates his poetry, his sharp wit, his handsome smile, his – Oh, wait.

(Also sorry I deleted the previous post and reposted and still can't get the ao3 reformat to work)

I worked with @kandisheek on the cap iron big bang 2024 and we are delighted to bring you the finished work! If you like astronomy, historical fics, poetry, and romance, please give this one a read. Thank you so much!

[starvels]

starvels' 2024 YGMAH server stockings -> 616/AU, steve/tony, <1k each

for @phoenixmetaphor : dragons and knights and sex magic, oh my! It’s blistering cold in the mountain peaks. The wind pries insistent, chilled fingers inside the rim of the cave’s entrance, like a lover that delights in making Steve hiss and shudder. Tony watches Steve trundling in, from atop his molten throne, and snorts a fiery laughter that nearly sizzles Steve’s eyebrows.

for @nostalgicatsea : the labyrinth of avenger's mansion allows no one to escape Tony trails his eyes over the ragged metal and and oak and marble and aged paint that used to resemble a foyer, back when the mansion was a building and Tony was steadily replacing all its parts post-Avengers disasters, sailing that good Ship of Theseus ever closer to the horizon. It’s not a quandary anymore. The mansion hasn’t been the mansion for any of them in a long time.

for @mserm : tony has wiped steve's mind and now he repents with an apology sounding “I was just thinking,” Tony starts, quick, a clinging desperation pinning his eyes to Steve’s strong back muscles, his tapered waist, the muscles of his forearms, down to his thick — “Last week you were mean. To me. Like you meant it. Like I asked.” “I was there,” Steve says, over the clatter of dishes.

for @mobiusonajetski : service top steve gives tony a needed respite "We're not talking right now," Steve tells him, not mean, but firm. Uncompromising. His focus absolute. Tony sits back on the bench and feels tension beginning to unspool across his body. Being at the center of Steve's focus is good, like this. Is good, period.

mwah to the YGMAH server! thanks for such a lovely 616 stevetony community and here's to many more 🥰

[stevetonyweekly]

SteveTony Weekly - Week 19 - Secret Identity

Today I’m giving you a list of one of my favorite--I say this every time, don’t I?--tropes unique for Steve and Tony and that is--secret identity! 

I just really love the confusion and the reveal, all the angst and the relief, it’s just--such a good trope and it fits the comic cannon for them so perfectly, who WOULDN’T love it? 

So here’s some of my favorites.

The Most Amazing Things (Some Terrible Lie) by copperbadge

Tony's decision not to reveal his identity as Iron Man to the world was shrewd and calculated. Too bad it's about to backfire on him like a Jericho missile.

Think of This as Solving Problems (That Should Never Have Occurred) by Sineala

No one knows Tony is Iron Man. Then Tony gets amnesia, and literally no one knows Tony is Iron Man.

Reputation by copperbadge 

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

To Make Much of Time by Sineala

When Iron Man rejects Steve's romantic advances, Steve is disappointed, but of course he understands -- Iron Man's secret identity is important. But when a portal opens and Tony Stark crashes into their midst from twelve years in the future, Steve starts to suspect that there are more secrets here than he can even begin to comprehend, and neither Iron Man nor Tony are providing any answers.

Wait & Sea by Lenalena 

In which Tony and Steve get sent on an undercover mission aboard a cruise ship to make contact with Hydra. In this AU the military has kept the discovery and defrosting of Captain America a secret, so Steve and Tony have never met before. Yet they are to pose as newlyweds....

Gift With Purchase by sabrecmc 

“Just…” and Tony could practically hear Pepper attempting to rub the tension out of her temples. “Just so we are clear,” Pepper began, trying to sound business-like, as if this were just any other phone call about stocks or production or whatever it was Pepper was usually blathering on about, “At the gala event for the Wounded Warriors Foundation, of which Stark Industries is a major donor, you met one Steven G. Rogers, Captain, U.S. Army Special Forces, one of the most decorated soldiers in all the armed forces, one of the handful of living Medal of Honor recipients, the man People Magazine dubbed “Captain America” in their front page story about his battlefield heroics that saved multiple lives, which went on to detail how his spare time is devoted to, and I’m quoting here, “providing art therapy to troubled and disadvantaged youth from the Brooklyn, New York area where Capt. Rogers grew up,” and you mistook him for a high-priced hooker and then proceeded to proposition him.”

Tony paused, breathing in deeply. “Well, when you say it like that, it just sounds bad.”

Iron Man: Unavailable, Tony Stark: In Trouble by navaan

After what happened in New York the Avengers with the help of Tony Stark are trying to become more independent. The team has grown together and for Steve Iron Man is a big part of that, although he has some trouble getting along with his employer. Then Steve faces a bit of a mystery when Tony Stark gets kidnapped – and Iron Man, who is supposed to be the man's bodyguard when he's not an Avenger, is nowhere to be found.

[bulkyphrase]

Steve Rogers in an Abusive Relationship - a fic list

Everybody loves Steve-whump, so here's a list of stories where Steve is in or has recently escaped an abusive relationship.

Thanks so much to @16woodsequ and the rest of the Steve server for helping to crowdsource this list!

These can get pretty dark, so please check the tags and warning before reading!

we could share a lifeline by meidui (@meidui) (Stony | Mature | 5,421 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: After everything, Rumlow had been right about what he said when Steve told him about Tony, with that dark, starless look in his eyes: “You’re never gonna be able to hold onto anybody long enough to contract, Rogers. Your temper’s good for a captain, yeah, but not for a fucking sub. Trust me, I know that much about you.”

Cracks Under the Surface by 16woodsequ (@16woodsequ) (Gen | Teen And Up Audiences | 4,491 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: As an asexual sub, Steve has always had a hard time with doms. After the ice, SHIELD states he needs to be contracted to a dom to be deemed stable enough to go on missions, and Steve is too shell-shocked to fight it. Enter Brock Rumlow. Much later, Tony finds Steve in subdrop in his room, and is horrified to learn what kind of dynamic has been going on between the two.

More below the cut!

Waiting for the Night by IntotheNeverNever (Stony | Explicit | 67,493 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: At the end of a single day, he is signed. Contracted - bound. Steve isn’t sure what word they are using these days. It doesn’t matter, because when it comes down to it, he’s controlled now. Not by honor or morality—but by Tony Stark. Since he woke up, Fury has made one thing clear: No dominant means nothing else. If Steve isn’t signed to a dominant, he can’t be out in the field, can’t go on missions, can’t be Captain America—hell, he can’t even be Captain Rogers.

Whenever You Need Me by Becci_chan (@becci-chan) (Gen | Teen And Up Audiences | 1,039 words)

Summary: Tony was furious seeing none other than Steve Rogers himself, in his bedroom of all places. His hair was longer and he sported a beard, but Tony would recognize him no matter how he looked. Even after such a long time. But then Tony took a closer look at Steve.

The Punchline by sabrecmc (@sabrecmc) (Stony | Explicit | 11,963 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: When Brock fake proposes to Steve, he is saved from utter humiliation by a handsome stranger.

precious stolen things by Areiton (@areiton) (Stony | Explicit | 2,830 words)

Summary: You wonder if it’s worse, to know the scars should be there and not have them, or be quietly bleeding out, grieving something that no one realizes you lost.

the only love i haven't screwed up by meidui (@meidui) (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 8,065 words)

Summary: When Steve wakes up from the ice, there’s somebody waiting for him. He's handsome, and older, and he tells Steve that they're soulmates and he's waited all his life to find him.

Stranger in the Woods by 16woodsequ (@16woodsequ) (Gen | General Audiences | 10,720 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: The serum was supposed to turn Steve into an alpha. When it didn’t, the army decided to keep their omega super soldier in line with a forced bonding. After the war, Howard’s omega slots right into the picture-perfect arm-candy role high society expects of him, and all seems well. Except it isn’t. A discovery Bucky Barnes makes when his quiet life in the woods is disrupted when a dirty, sickly omega clutching a pup collapses on the edge of his property.

If The Collar Doesn't Fit by askaniblue (Stony | Explicit | 10,272 words)

Summary: Subs need to belong to a dom. That's the law and being Captain America doesn't place you above the law. But when Steve shows up to a fight with ugly looking injuries Tony gets worried. Tony starts digging. Of course Iron Man is a switch, everyone knows that, so what does he know about what goes on between doms and subs? And why should Steve listen when Iron Man charges in to his defense? No other dom wanted the contract of an overgrown sub like Steve. Not even Mr. Stark.

trapped between two lungs by meidui (@meidui) (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 2,019 words)

Summary: Tony tears open his front door and stumbling towards him is the same face he still dreams about. He isn’t even wearing a jacket in this freezing cold and there’s blood dripping from somewhere on his body into the snow, and Tony can’t think. All their complicated history disappears somewhere and all he sees is Steve, hurt and afraid.

Apple, Honey and Lavender by 16woodsequ (@16woodsequ) (Gen | Teen And Up Audiences, General Audiences | 109,346 words | Rape/Non-Con)

Summary: Omega Steve Rogers hides his designation during the war. But someone blackmails him for it. Stories in "The Sins of the Father" universe.

invisible scars by Areiton (@areiton) (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 2,124 words)

Summary: "I didn't know I was coming here, until I was knocking," he admits, his voice trembling with exhaustion.

ILLICIT, Manhattan by gottalovev (@gottalovev) (Stony | Mature | 5,757 words)

Summary: Everyone on staff at ILLICIT, Tony’s BDSM nightclub, knows he likes the tall blond sub who’s been visiting for the last month. Unfortunately, he’s with Brock Rumlow, who enjoys skirting the lines… until he goes too far and Tony must intervene.

Bird set free by ArabellaAM (@arabellamonkey) (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 16,470 words)

Summary: It's been five months since omega Steve ran away from his alpha, five long months of being the talk of the town. At this point, no one —not even Steve— expects him to have a chance at finding a mate, so it's a big shock for everyone when Tony Stark shows up at his door and asks to court him.

Black and Blue by FestiveFerret (@festiveferret) (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 4,496 words)

Summary: When things at home with Brock go downhill, Steve takes refuge in the job he loves, as Tony Stark's PA.

Indecent Proposal by sabrecmc (@sabrecmc) (Stony | Explicit | 75,184 words)

Summary: One million dollars for one night. That could change your life.

I'll Be Your Man by Last_Chance_Anna (Stony | Mature | 57,654 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: It begins with a blind date... I still suck at summaries. That'll never change. Hopefully the story is better than the summary...what summary?? I will update tags as needed.

The Road Goes Ever On And On by PGHumfort (@pghumfort) (Stucky | Mature | 20,380 words | Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con)

Summary: When Brock's continued domestic abuse puts not only Steve's life in danger, but also that of his unborn pup, he flees into the night with just a small backpack of clothes and almost no money to his name. Steve quickly runs into trouble as he tries to embark on a 3-day cross-country bus journey back home to New York City. He meets a kind veteran when he most needs a helping hand.

Episode 1: Kneeling in the Sand by HogwartsToAlexandria (@hogwartstoalexandria) (James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Steve Rogers | Mature | 8,677 words)

Summary: A decade has passed since Jim had to watch his best friend leave the neighborhood, had to let go of his hand even as he kept running behind Sarah Rogers' car, full of hope and the promises they'd made to each other that this wasn't the end. Today, Jim is a retired Air Force Colonel, wounded in his last flight but still active for the VA and its civil missions. One of these missions is to make sure subs without a home are cared for, as hypocritical as that sounds in a society where they're not allowed to buy a house for themselves. Jim thought he was prepared for anything, had seen everything, could not be surprised by a routine call to one of New York's shelters, and yet... And yet Steve Rogers living in one of said shelters certainly threw him.

Flat On The Floor by Loloorenn (Stony | Teen And Up Audiences | 10,382 words)

Summary: If you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will jump out, realizing the water is killing it. However. If you put a frog in a pot of lukewarm water, and then slowly heat the water to a boil, the frog will cook to death, never realizing how badly the water was hurting until it’s too late. People are a lot like frogs. --------------------------------- He almost doesn’t see her hand move before it clips the back of his head with enough force to send ringing through his ear for a second. “Just… try to not be a complete embarrassment.”He follows after her, a dog with its tail tucked. Makes sure he follows close, smiling when he should, socializing where he should, never stepping away from Sharon. By the end of the night everything hurts, he feels like a puppet with tangled strings. But she gives him an appraising look and says “that wasn’t so hard, now was it?” And the relief nearly knocks his legs out from under him, his brain fuzzes out, she’s happy. -------------------------- “Don’t lose him Punk, he’s good for you.” Bucky mutters some time later, once Tony is snoring softly into Steve’s shoulder. smiling down at his genius, Steve can’t help but agree.

walk the nightmare out the door by Red (S_Hylor) (@s-hylor) (Stony | Mature | 3,958 words | Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con)

Summary: After an eternity damned in Hell, Tony gets sent to Earth on a mission. In order to stay on Earth, he must possess a host. Tony hadn't expected to find someone so evil outside of Hell; then he'd seen the inside of Brock Rumlow's mind. He hadn't expected to fall in love either; then he'd gotten to know Steve Rogers.

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

You Need Prayer (I Guess It Couldn't Hurt Me) by WonderlandPup

Jason opens the door, stepping out of the booth like someone emerging from purgatory. His eyes are red-rimmed, and too sharp. Too tired. Too green, where the blue should be. “Doesn’t it ever piss you off?” he asks suddenly. “That people like me are expected to come back from things like that and still be good?” Slade looks at him for a long moment. “You came back. That was enough.” Their eyes meet, and it steadies something in Jason’s chest. A moment’s respite, from being a monster. “Let’s get back to it.” OR Jason is still learning why he came back to life; Slade will go with him through Hell to show him he's worth it.

> FORTITUDE by vfx_batman

Bruce is waylaid when he finds an adolescent beside the Batmobile clutching a detonator. [Red Hood: Lost Days #2 Canon Divergence.] Very little surprises Batman. He has helmed the defence of Gotham for fourteen full years and counting, and over that time he has faced all manner of threat. City takeovers; plagues, earthquakes, transportation hijackings, brainwashing—nights that canvass the entire spectrum of the human experience. Over time he has come to expect the horrors. Has learnt to brace in advance and prepare his stomach for the novel reveal of another sick trick. But tonight it is not some new depravity that startles him. It is instead the ingenuity of a figure cloaked in fabric imperceptible to his cowl’s thermal scanning. An invisible man creeping away from his car. Batman laughs and the stranger whips his head in his direction.

To Rise by scandalsavage

Jason finds out the Penguin killed the asshole who donated sperm to bring Jason into the world. He lost his friends (his family, really). Got beaten to a bloody pulp by the man he considered his true father (considers, really, even now). Then Roy dies, and Bruce is being Bruce, and something's gotta give.

Requiem by scandalsavage

He blinks as his brain takes it’s sweet fucking time processing what his eyes are seeing. “So you’re me, huh?” the kid says, rocking back and forth from his heels to his toes like he can’t sit still for three god damn seconds. “That’s pretty cool. You’re huge.” Jason hates him. He hates those stupid fucking curls. He hates that stupid bubbly energy. He hates that fucking earnestness, that eagerness to please. He hates that goddamn costume. He hates the way the kid clings to Bruce’s shadow. He despises that hand Bruce has on his shoulder.

Left Out by alittlefoxedup

Jason is not invited to help with Gotham mayhem. While contemplating life, Deathstroke shows up to collect a bounty.

why im not a bad brother and why damian owes me a trix yogurt and why bruce also owes me a yogurt for keeping a secret from alfred and why alfred owes me a yogurt bc i had to deal with this mess and JEAN SHRIMPTON WANNABE CAN GET ME A SPOON by Anonymous

give me a dream by envysparkler

Bruce wakes up to see someone creeping into his bed. resurrected-Jason-returns-to-Gotham au

he’s your hero, forever your son by uncorrectgrammar

The memorial case glows in the cave. Jason walks in its shadow.

Bruce still keeps the past on display, even as the present slips through his fingers.

The Magicians and The Red Hood by LeantheBean

The first sign that something was really wrong came when Jason found a half-digested body in the dumpster outside his safe house. The second sign was when the Marvelous Madame Mishka—the polish fortune teller from 26 B—left a flyer on his door offering him a free tarot reading. The third sign was when he got a text saying that Batman wanted to talk about new patrol routes. Nothing to do but ignore Bruce and try to figure out what the hell is eating the good folks of Crime Alley. Neither is going to be easy, but only one has the makings of being deadly. Jury's still out on which. Or, in an attempt to avoid his family, Jason Todd fights extra-dimensional horrors, lets a chain-smoking magician crash on his couch, and accidentally gains a reputation for competence among Gotham’s magical community.

In Another Life by LERDM

In another life, Jason finishes his training with Ducra and actually takes the time he needs to come to terms with what has happened to him. He comes back to Gotham, not with murderous intent, but with the goal to make sure that no Robin is ever killed again. Basically, Jason protects the crap out of the Batkids while Bruce drives himself somewhat insane trying to figure out who the newest Gotham vigilante, Ghost, is.

floor collapsing, falling by Pinknight22

Tim thinks Jason is immune to fear toxin, so the best (and only) plan they have to combat Scarecrow's new formula is to test it on him and get an antidote ASAP. Jason might've been bluffing when he said that the poison didn't affect him - but he'll be damned if he lets Barman see him scared. Again. So he accepts. Unfortunately, the Lazarus Pit's unexpected side-effect forces his family to live through his most painful, terrifying memories with him. And none of them know what to do.

lurched like a stray to the arms that were open by Mysana

Jason wakes up whole and alive. He doesn't know what to do, so he goes home.

Wings over Gotham

“Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.” An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland. This story also includes a very non-traditional variation on A/B/O, where alpha and omega are expressed via psychic auras and not biologically, and those same auras allow platonic empathic connection between pack members.

I need your love before I fall by ThaliaJackson

Jason's plans are all coming together nicely — Black Mask is poised to release the Joker, Batman is more suspicious than ever, and Jason has the Replacement right in the sights of his scope — it's just a shame he shoots through Nightwing's grapple instead. OR AU where Red Hood hurts and then kidnaps Nightwing instead of Robin

we're all ghosts by envysparkler

Tim is woken up by Bruce Wayne's screams.

Son of Shiva by rafamarkos5998

An AU about Jason being Lady Shiva's son, and yet being something else. He dies again, comes back to life again, and decides to figure out what to do next.

a million dreams by CaptainOzone

A magical something-or-other pulls Mary and John Grayson from their final performance, mid-fall, and spits them out into a grungy alley with no idea how they got there, much less why they're there now. And to make matters worse, Dick is nowhere to be found.

Insane or not insane- that is the question by AlrightWhatsAllThisThen

Jason Todd is back in Gotham. Not for vengeance. For justice. Armed with an MD and a decade of silence, he’s determined to put an end to the Joker’s crimes for once and for all. Reconnecting with his estranged family in the process is an unavoidable evil.

A Fractured Inheritance by hispnaicin

Jason Todd cannot accept Dick has changed. It goes against everything he believes is true.

CRAZY QUILT by medusaceratops

Bruce Wayne finds himself trapped inside of the newest innovation in interrogation technology. The real shame is that this technology just doesn't seem to work.

Naruto

in which shikamaru is an alien parasite and nobody minds by sunburnhurts

The thought that he doesn't belong in this world worries Shikamaru quite a bit. The thought that no one seems to mind worries him more. They really should be more concerned. What if he eats one of them or something? He'll just stay in the woods until further notice.

Back in 2006 by ioiites

Ah, the 2000s—a time when bullying was basically a national pastime, and everything was just outdated enough to make your skin crawl. So, after pulling some “selfless” (read: mildly performative– you just didn’t want the girl next to you to get the ick) stunt that got you shot in a library, you wake up in 2006. Engaged. To Naoya Zen’in. A walking, talking nepo baby with a superiority complex. Lucky you. One of the funniest self-inserts I've read, if you can get used to the whole 'You shrug' second person narration, it's a treat.

Dream Lantern by Marsalias

Nocturne needs something neither alive nor dead, awake nor asleep, willing nor unwilling, something caged, but uncaptured, hungry, but full, complaisant, but steadfast, to light their way through the Dream Wilds to the object of their longing. They know just the thing. Or, rather, just the half-ghost. (Danny needed to catch up on sleep - but not like this.)

Marvel

And Then There's You by Sineala for phoenixmetaphor

Explicit Steve/Tony. Arriving home at the mansion, Steve finds Tony in need of some first aid. He provides it. Then he provides something much nicer.
