Christmas Proposals Masterlist

A Lifetime Of Christmases (ao3) - Coffee_and_notebooks steve/tony G, 1k

Summary: One of the things that made Christmas so special for them was the traditions they had, what they could look forward to every year.

They had both always been those people that were absolutely obsessed with Christmas, getting excited well before Halloween and Thanksgiving, and getting excited all over again after the two occasions were over.

Or: Three Traditions Steve and Tony already had at Christmas and the One New Tradition they make.

All I Ever Wanted For You (ao3) - plumeria47 steve/bucky G, 833

Summary: They’d agreed that this year, their first Christmas together since 1944, they would each buy three things they’d wished they could have given the other one back when they were too dirt poor – or in the middle of a war. To discourage outrageous purchases, a dollar amount had been squabbled over and eventually agreed upon.

But someone broke the rules.

(AKA: An unapologetically fluffy Christmas ficlet.)

A Very Merry Christmas (ao3) - bluejaythebeautiful steve/bucky T, 557

Summary: Steve did that really annoying thing where he put a bunch of smaller boxes into one really big box. Bucky's fed up with him.

Christmas Sweaters (ao3) - tinytonysnark steve/tony T, 1k

Summary: That little velvet box has been burning a hole in Steve's pocket for weeks now

Five Golden Rings (ao3) - ripavengers steve/tony N/R, 1k

Summary: The five rings of life help make a relationship last, for Steve and Tony anyway.

I Never Knew The Meaning of Christmas (ao3) - JehBeeEh steve/tony G, 5k

Summary: A look at Steve and Tony's first Christmas together.

I remember (ao3) - dizzyingly_dreamy steve/bucky M, 5k

Summary: He hated snow. He couldn't remember why, but he knew that there was a deep, very stubborn hatred of snow. It seemed to run in his DNA, and no matter what angle he took, he hated snow even more than before.

For the moment, as he glared up at the sky, thick, cotton flakes drifted down towards the ground, lazily, twinkling softly in the lamplight. They were difficult to see without any light, but he could still see them, feel them in his hair, making his head feel heavy and insulated. It was strange, and he didn't know if he liked the feeling it or didn't. It looked light out, but that was only because the world was shrouded with thick, impenetrable clouds. There was no true darkness when the clouds were shielding them from it.

(or, Bucky manages to crawl his way back into a life he likes, and brightens up someone else's just in time for Christmas.)

Memories that last forever (ao3) - ArabellaAM steve/tony G, 2k

Summary: Tony sighed, turning around all the way and asking with a tired, raspy voice, “Why am I hugging a pillow on Christmas Eve, Rogers?”

Or, Steve can't sleep and Tony asks him to tell him a story about his mom.

Mistletoe (ao3) - CaptainJimothyCarter peggy/steve G, 3k

Summary: Steve cannot lie to save his life, especially to his girlfriend whose whole career is built on the ability to lie. His mother's yearly Christmas dinner will be a bit different this year and not just because Chester Phillips is officially his stepfather.

Quite the One-Eighty (ao3) - betheflame steve/tony, bucky/natasha G, 2k

Summary: Steve has a bad day, Tony is a nervous wreck, Nat is intent on making popcorn garland, and it all works out in the end.

rare and sweet as cherry wine (ao3) - arttemis peggy/steve T, 1k

Summary: He reaches into his blazer pocket and pulls out a small black box. “I’m gonna propose.”

“You cannot propose,” Bucky says.

-

Steve is in love and has bad timing.

Saved My Heart For You (ao3) - pensversusswords steve/tony T, 8k

Summary: Tony had been trying to propose for months, but it turned out that post-battle on Christmas Eve was the best time to pop the question.

The Best Day of the Year (ao3) - orphan_account pepper/tony G, 2k

Summary: Tony finally mans up and proposes to Pepper on Christmas Eve.

the promise to be near (ao3) - orphan_account peggy/steve G, 1k

Summary: The very prospect of having a future to plan, wide open and thrillingly interminable, was still enough to overwhelm Steve on the best of days.

Unwrapped (ao3) - nightwalker steve/tony E, 4k

Summary: Tony and Steve each have a surprise for the other. Turns out they were thinking along similar lines.

What Tony Got For Christmas (ao3) - TheRedGlass steve/tony T, 1k

Summary: In which Steve is a little shit and Tony gets the best Christmas surprise.

author interview tag

tagged by: @ad1thi and @tinytonysnark 💛

name: rhae

fandoms:��currently hyperfixating on marvel, occasionally dipping into rwrb, ghibli and poetry as a genre. historically, harry potter, percy jackson, lord of the rings, and game of thrones (i know, shudders)

where you post: both on tumblr and on ao3

most popular one-shot: monopoly v. twitter was a one-shot until i liked the chaos too much and added two short chapters to it and i’m really happy people liked the chaos too :) the privilege of loving you is currently the actual one-shot with the most kudos

most popular multi-chapter fic: the james braincell, and i’m still hysterical that one of the tumblr edit posts for it has more notes than some of my other edits alkdnlsfk the magic of crack

favorite story you’ve written so far: this really changes based on the day, but am currently liking see it with the lights out because the edits were really fun to make, and the last chapter of picture perfect (picture us) for Reasons™

fic you were nervous to post: definitely (how to be) somebody you miss because it’s the longest, most personal, most plotty, and i think most political of my fics so far and i’m building up to a lot of things i hope i can live up to

how you choose your titles: i steal stuff from the poems i write, borrow from song lyrics, or a cheeky pun/wordplay i think of. i usually have titles before fics and at least five of my WIPs are fics i need to write cause a title popped up and i had to write something out of them slksdflklk

do you outline: no, i have scenes i want to write and i let the characters figure out how to get to those scenes. hence why somebody you miss is taking a long time because sometimes (a lot of the times) the characters take detours before they can get to those scenes :D

complete: most of my stuff on ao3 is complete, and i try to keep it that way

in progress: the fics posted on ao3 are (how to be) somebody you miss, learning to love myself (through the windows of your heart), and the good place (is next to you). the good place au is marked as complete but i do want to add to it when i get back to the right vibes to write it

coming soon/not yet started: there’s a couple of stuff which i’ve already listed out here, and some extra ones because i need them:

set a flight path home (to me) where tony builds a plane for rhodey and rhodey teaches him how to fly. it’s a scene from another rhodeytony WIP ten rings (of gold around your heart) that took a life of its own

find x (somewhere in your smile) in which tony and steve are single dads whose children go to the same school. they both happen to have a hatred for the same teacher which makes for very interesting parent-teacher conferences. meanwhile, morgan is tired of her dad asking about peter’s dad, and peter is tired of his dad asking about morgan’s dad

(domestic life) never quite my style, the next entry for my series a strong enough foundation, which is five times peter parker inspired tony to make an invention, and one time peter invented something for tony

buzzing birds and bees which is another social media au where steve moonlights as a buzzfeed contributor and tony wonders who is causing all the PR hellfires. eventually, he finds CaptainHandsome on buzzfeed

and definitely my marvel trumps hate fic which is still under wraps ;) 

do you accept prompts: i do but i take decades to finish them :D 

upcoming story you are most excited to write: a kingdom for a kiss, because modern royalty is very, very fun and the MTH fic because 

tagging: @omg-just-peachy @anthonyed, @maguna-stxrk,  @iam93percentstardust, @anthonydarling and anybody else who wants to do this :)

[alexrogersstark]

Awww, that's too cute!!

nisha, could i please have number 12 from the autumn prompt list + stevetony? only if you want to of course, thank you!! 🍂

12. Working at an apple orchard. 786 words, stevetony, fluff.

Tony hates having to admit Rhodey is right, partly due to the fact that Rhodey is always right where Tony is concerned. 

Tony had grumbled the entire time Rhodey had dragged him from the lab to the dorm so he could shower and put on - “appropriate Fall fashion! I’m serious Tony - I want it to look like a pumpkin threw up on you!” all so he could third-wheel Rhodey’s date with Carol but Tony is having fun and judging from Rhodey’s smug smile he knows it. 

“Hey, me and Carol are gonna head to the barn to get some donuts and cider. You in?”

Tony glances at their intertwined hands and says, “No, I’m not going anywhere with someone who doesn’t know it’s supposed to be Carol and I.” 

Carol mocks horror, clutching at her face, “Oh heavens above! He’s but a fool!  It’s too late for me now! Save yourself Tony!”

“The both of you are the worst, I’m revoking my presence in your lives,” Rhodey deadpans, betrayed by the smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “You gonna be alright?”

“Go on, no apple monster is gonna get me,” Tony says, shooing them away.

He watches them head back the way they came before he turns, breathing in the scent of crisp sweet apples, so intoxicating he can taste it on his tongue, the rows and rows of apple trees a lively green around him.

He’s about to walk down the narrow dirt path when he hears someone say, “I hate when people do that too.” He jumps at voice coming from above him, squinting against the rays of sunlight peeking through the tree at the figure standing on a ladder holding a pair of shears.

Tony has a fleeting thought that this would be an interesting place to be murdered before all his thoughts screech to a halt in his brain as he sees the man.

Blonde hair - bright in the sun as if it's its own beacon, falling into impossibly blue eyes and their - their kind eyes, his mother would say.

He has kind eyes.

“I - I’m sorry?” Tony says, realising he should probably say something.

“Your friend. ‘Me and’ honestly sounds so awkward anyway,” the man says, as he climbs down the ladder.

“Oh - yeah no, at this point Rhodey does it specifically to annoy me,” Tony tells him, hands twisting in front of him as the man steps closer.

He notices and stops advancing. 

“I’m Steve,” he says, giving Tony a warm smile and placing his shears on the ground.

“I’m Tony,” he tells him, looking back up at the tree. “Do you work here?”

“Yeah, but just part-time when it’s this time of year. Fall season has everyone out here in droves and well, - I used to come here a lot when I was younger so it’s nice to be back every year.”

“Yeah, I bet. It’s so - serene out here,” Tony says, taking in a deep breath as a breeze passes by. 

Steve doesn’t say anything for a bit, just looks at Tony like he’s trying to decide something and Tony ignores the urge to fidget. 

“Would you - Um, - Do you need a basket?” Steve asks. “I’ve got a small wicker one here if you need it,” he says, pointing at the foot of the tree.

“Oh, I -,” Tony begins to refuse, looking back to see if Rhodey and Carol are on their way back, which they are decidedly not. “Well, yes. If you wouldn’t mind?”

“If I did, I wouldn’t have offered,” Steve says, grabbing the handle.

“Do you keep spares around for all us forgetful apple pickers?” 

Steve grins, “Only the pretty ones,” and Tony feels his whole face flush.

He shifts from foot to foot, not wanting to end this- whatever it is - just yet. “You know - you should probably come with me,” he says. “You wouldn’t want me to run off with your basket.”

“Oh, I think you’re mistaken,” Steve replies, shaking his head a little. “See, if you do run off with it, then I’ll have no choice but to find you to demand you give back my precious basket and then I’ll get to see you again, which means my plan had worked.”

“Ah, the downfall of all nefarious plots. Outlining the plan,” Tony tsks at him. “Have you learned nothing from the movies?”

“Maybe I haven’t been watching the right ones - so here’s another plan. If you want, I’m just about done at 5.30 and this place during the sunset is - it’s, honestly indescribable. You’ll love it,” Steve tells him. “Then maybe you can show me a movie that will educate me better?”

Tony breathes in, tasting apples on his tongue and exhales, “It’s a date.”

Tony And Rhodey (Ironhusbands) Masterlist

Links Last Checked: April 27th, 2024

part two

A Date on the Moon (ao3) - what_alchemy Rating: Explicit

Summary: Just because someone's name is on your hand doesn't mean it's easy.

A Lonely, Lost Thing (ao3) - PhoenixFalls Rating: Teen And Up

Summary: James Rhodes just wanted a nice relaxing night out, drinking with some classmates, maybe a bit of dancing. Tony Stark probably wanted the same. Unfortunately, some people willfully misunderstand how consent works. James educates them (with his fists), and Tony makes a friend.

A Million Shades of Blue (ao3) - Not Applicable (not_applicable) Rating: Mature

Summary: “I just know that if I could get to wherever he is, I could find him. Dead or alive, I'd bring him back to us.”

James Rhodes will never stop searching for Tony Stark.

Cashmere, Cologne, and White Sunshine (ao3) - lusilly Rating: Explicit

Summary: Rhodey takes Tony home one night after a party, and it's the first time they have sex, and it's Tony's first time with a guy, and it's the first time he tells somebody that he's a guy.

(To Rhodey's credit, this is not exactly news.)

Courtship (caught in the rain) (ao3) - Cards_Slash Rating: Mature

Summary: Rhodey had a plan and it went like this: wake up, leave, find something that Tony wouldn’t find ridiculous, sentimental or overtly romantic that he didn’t already own to give to him for their anniversary, come back, eat something, give the present to Tony, endure his comments, have a lot of sex, and go back to sleep.

For All the Wrong (Right) Reasons (ao3) - JewelQueen Rating: Teen And Up

Summary: What happens when you get one Tony Stark flustered? Well, if you're good-looking (and James Rhodes), he proposes.

A story of ill-timed marriage proposals, white boys being angry white nerds, and the man who suffers through it all trying his best not to fall for this beautiful disaster in the making.

got you on speed dial (ao3) - tinytonysnark Rating: Teen And Up

Summary: @petequill on twitter: i bet tony calls rhodey first always when something exciting happens to him

me: and i OOP

Hashtag Iron Husbands (ao3) - camichats Rating: Teen And Up

Summary: Tony and Rhodey are married, have been together for years. The Avengers think they're just friends, but the public knows better.

Heart Eyes, Motherfucker (ao3) - DiefaceJohnson Rating: Not Rated

Summary: Tony has developed his first crush, and he doesn't like it one bit.

Little Bit Drunk (ao3) - LittleDarkling Rating: Explicit

Summary: PWP. No point at all.

Love, Rhodey (ao3) - MelissaBosquez Rating: General

Summary: After being outed at school, Rhodey takes his life and potential relationship with his anonymous pen pal, Blue, into his own hands. He tells Blue and the world that he loves him and to meet him on the Ferris Wheel at the winter carnival if he feels the same.

platonic, romantic -- it's all semantics (ao3) - ThaliaClio Rating: Not Rated

Summary: Over the years - despite everything - Tony and Rhodey make it work. They really, really make it work.

Safe (ao3) - Not Applicable (not_applicable) Rating: Explicit

Summary: It was one thing to build bombs, but it was another thing to set someone on fire and then watch them burn.

Simple Little Pleasures (ao3) - PhoenixFalls Rating: Explicit

Summary: Tony and Rhodey spend the morning after Tony’s 30th birthday party in bed.

Strictly Confidential (ao3) - Myrime Rating: General

Summary: "We should marry," Tony says one quiet evening. Even before Rhodey replies anything, his expression clearly says he is not going to agree. "I don't think this is such a good idea." Of course. It all comes down to what the rest of the world says. That they love each other is apparently not enough to be worth the hassle.

That Signed Dollar Bill In Your Wallet (ao3) - nerdwegian Rating: Mature

Summary: It's Tony and Rhodey, it's always been Tony and Rhodey.

The Curious Case of The Discarded Condom (ao3) - AssvengersArsemble Rating: General

Summary: Natasha, Clint and Steve get just a little nosy about Tony's love life. Tony finds it extremely amusing they can't see what's right under their noses.

The Other 'Mr Stark': Iron Man’s Mysterious Paramour (ao3) - ruffaled Rating: General

Summary: Clint leans over to Tony and whispers. “For the record, I know you’re lying. You’re describing the perfect man and he doesn’t exist. You might as well say you’re dating Superman because at least Christopher Reeve was a looker.“

Tomorrow, On the Beach (ao3) - fabrega Rating: Teen And Up

Summary: Tony Stark wakes up, and he isn't dead. That should be a good thing, right?

Twenty-Five Years (ao3) - Not Applicable (not_applicable) Rating: Explicit

Summary: Nobody knows how long this has actually been going on. (Tony Stark has pretty much been in a monogamous relationship since he was 18 years old.)

[ishipallthings]

Cap-IM Rec Week 2020 (Wednesday - AUs)

What-If Wednesday, June 17th: Time to rec some AUs! Canon divergence, no-power alternate universes, soulmates… send them all in - for @cap-ironman Rec Week.

This list is for AU recs, I will be posting another list for canon-divergence/fix-it fics later in the day.

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

Just One Look (And I Can Hear a Bell Ring) by picturecat ( @snoozingcat​ ):

There are worse reasons to get married than being 35, still single, ready to have kids, and secretly in love with your friend. (WIP)

one call away by ohjustpeachy ( @omg-just-peachy ):

Steve gets a job as Tony Stark's body guard after years of hearing about what a nightmare he is to work with. He takes the job to pay his mother's medical bills, but he doesn't expect Tony to surprise him, or to feel so conflicted about their relationship. (WIP)

Seven Minutes by jellybeanforest ( @jellybeanforest-a-go-go​ ):

When Bonnie refuses her turn in the closet with a shrimpy Steve Rogers during a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven, popular lothario-in-training/class whore Tony Stark gladly takes her turn.

Ask Me Later by tinytonysnark ( @tinytonysnark​ ):

Prompt: “You’ve got a date tonight and you asked for advice on what to wear but I’m so in love with you and damn you look good in the outfit I picked out for you.”

ignorance is (not) bliss by goodmorningbeloved ( @maguna-stxrk​ ):

“You know, Tony. I really did have a lot of fun today. I always tell you that I don’t like surprises, but I find that I don’t mind them so much… coming from you,” Steve confesses, and he doesn’t know why he’s doing this, pouring his heart out to Tony when the man is clearly not awake. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s 3 AM on a Friday night. The neighborhood is mostly asleep and the way the world is quiet right now makes him feel sort of invincible, gives him the kind of courage to do things he wouldn’t normally do, makes him feel that anything he does right now isn’t quite real and won’t have any permanent consequences.

a little ugly never hurt nobody by Padraigen:

It’s cheap and plastic, a blue band just barely big enough to fit around his pinky finger, with a white star glued on top. It means nothing.

Steve still loves it.

Falling (Blow up the Phone Remix) by Neverever ( @captainneverever ):

Tony isn't friends with Steve; Steve is just a friend of a friend. But then Tony develops a crush on Steve and decides to show Steve how much he cares.

who could ever leave me (but who could stay?) by frostfall ( @kapteniron​ ):

When Tony Stark's not trying to keep his company from falling apart, he's running heists with the Avengers, a crew of con artists who retrieve illegally-acquired artifacts for their wealthy clients.

Steve Rogers is Tony's crewmate and best friend who has joined him on every heist Tony has been on. This current one is no different.

Too bad Tony had to muck everything up by sleeping with him three months beforehand.

Half Agony, Half Hope by Annie D (scaramouche) ( @no-gorms ):

Following the Battle of New York, the Avengers Initiative kicks into high gear under the leadership of Steve Rogers, i.e. Captain America. Tony didn’t mean to become part of this initiative, but it makes sense to sign on due to his experience with SHIELD and Rhodey’s War Machine suits.

The upside: Tony’s tech can be used in a widespread and meaningful way to help protect people. The downside: the last time Tony saw Steve, he’d rejected Steve’s proposal of marriage and broke his heart, leading to almost ten years of the two having no contact whatsoever. Until now.

Reasons Why We Ended It by ashes0909 ( @ashes0909 ):

This was the fifth time he’d seen Tony since they broke up, and it was easier every time...but that was hard, in and of itself.

we could be something beautiful by S_Hylor:

When genius, billionaire, play boy Tony Stark very publically asks him out, Steve says yes because he doesn't want to be the man to turn down Tony Stark on national television. For the life of him he can't understand why someone like Tony Stark would want to go out with someone like him.

He's wholly unprepared for what dating Tony entails, especially the media attention.

The media, it seems, can't figure out what Tony sees in him either.

sweet like honey by nanasekei ( @elcorhamletlive ):

Steve wakes up in his boyfriend's Malibu mansion. However, Tony is nowhere to be found.

Not Trying to Make Headlines by RurouniHime ( @thegertie​ ):

It's just an art show. No big deal if the rich and totally-out-of-his-league guy Steve slept with once a year ago shows up or not. Really.

We Two, How Long We Were Fool'd by glassessay:

Steve Rogers comes into the world as unblemished as his mother. When Anthony Stark is born, his soulmark is an obvious pattern of ink across his tiny chest.

It only takes a century, two names, and a shared love of Walt Whitman for them to find each other.

The Estate by wisia ( @wisiaden ):

The Stark name is ruined, and the Stark Estate is the only thing left. That too will go unless Anthony Edward Stark can convince Lord Steven Rogers to assist him. If only he hadn’t rejected the man’s proposal years before.

In A Different Universe by shetlandowl: There are too many secrets between Tony and Steve, but they're not all Steve's fault, okay?

Ad Astra per Aspera by MonstrousRegiment, Pangea: 

It’s safe to say most people get off on the wrong foot with Tony Stark, but it’s also safe to say Steve Rogers makes a conscious effort to get along with everyone, and people might think one tendency compensates the other one and equilibrium is achieved. A neutral ground.

That’s not what happens.

Or, the story of how Tony Stark and Steve Rogers met and fell in love. A space opera with a lot of cursing, a lot of drinking, and a little bit of singing.

Hope you guys enjoy the recs, and stay tuned for more! Check out my tag for previous years’ rec lists :)
