Stevetony Weekly - February 18 - Week 7
Tumblr media
Hello, my loves, I’m home! I’m home and I read things and I’m here to share it with you. Be sure to leave your fic authors comments and kudos as you read! 
~*~ 
Two roads diverged by RurouniHime
His eyes haven’t adjusted and it’s too dark to see Steve’s expression. 
In which there is a farm, a porch at night, and two kinds of grief.
Daddy by orphan_account
Tony's brow quirked up, but his expression simultaneously went crestfallen. "What would you do to pay me back if you had the means?"
Steve suddenly envisioned himself on his knees for Tony, sucking his cock with passion.
He blushed. "Uh--I don't know, I guess-"
"No. Uh, uh, don't lie to me. You're blushing. I can see the mischief in your eyes. Come on, what would you do for Daddy to pay him back for all the nice things he bought you?"
If Steve was blushing before, he was sure his cheeks were bright red now. God, this was so embarrassing. Was he really so transparent?
Taking a shuddering breath, Steve went to his knees. He turned his head to make sure the door was still locked, then swallowed his pride. He would be swallowing something else in a second.
"God, Steve--I didn't think--Jesus. Have you done this before? You don't--you don't have to prostitute yourself for me or anything, I was just teasing. Holy Christ-"
"Tony," Steve said firmly, looking into Tony's eyes, "I want this. Would you give me that...Daddy?"
Let Loose On Me by thepretender501
It all starts innocently enough. Well, as innocent as you can get when you’re Tony Stark and you’ve got a lap full of squirming Captain America riding you like—okay, scratch that, it doesn’t start innocently at all.
Spoiled Rotten by kehinki
It doesn't take a whole lot of convincing to get Steve to call him 'daddy'.
Let Them Eat Cake by BladeoftheNebula
‘Alright Marie Antoinette, let’s talk about why people without trust funds can’t always be going around dropping hundreds of dollars on a fancy fucking cake’
Steve is a popular baking vlogger who spends his days making vintage recipes and inspiring people to bake.
Until he's sent a video of a certain tech heir disrespecting the fine art of cake making and calls him out.
Say My Name by citsiurtlanu
Steve reminds Tony that there's more to him than the war his weapons were used in.
i would always be yours by tinystark616
When Tony wakes up in the hospital after the snap, he finds out about two things: One, he's lost his right arm, and two, Steve wants to stay with him.
New Awakenings by scottxlogan
After the battle against Thanos the world faces the end of Tony Stark, but Steve Rogers can't and won't accept that fate. When Steve takes matters into his own hands by revealing a secret part of himself to save Tony, what will the future hold in store for them?
Raindrops Like Roses by Auggusst for iseult1124
When the power in their apartment goes out on a rainy day, Steve and Tony reminisce about their chance meeting a few years ago and show each other a little TLC on the couch. Who knew power outages could be so romantic and sexy?
My piece written for this year's Marvel Trumps Hate event!
The Jar by Sineala
The Avengers are ridiculously competitive people, and what starts out as a silly late-night team discussion quickly becomes a contest: their names. Not the code names -- the nicknames. Who can go the longest without using them? They pledge to spend a week not nicknaming each other, and they'll pay up every time they mess up. This hits Tony the hardest, and not just financially. Tony's got a lot of nicknames for everyone, but most of all for Steve -- and when Tony can't use the names he's already got, the names he uses reveal feelings he had no idea he had.
The New (New) Normal by copperbadge
Tony has a thing about germs. Steve understands it a lot better after seeing him sick. Though he could still use some help understanding why he's so annoyed that Rhodey's the one who got to bring Tony soup....
Initiative by affectionatehomosexual (premiumjimin) for pitchernum1
Tony’d always been told that there were two types of people in the world: people that drink with you and people that make you wanna drink.
Steve Rogers falls undeniably into the second category.
*Tony's a photographer who lets something slip during a shoot. It's a surprisingly effective catalyst for a pretty stellar relationship*
out of the cold by meidui
“No,” Steve begs again, his voice grinding in Tony’s ears. “Don’t let them, Tony!”
He’s breaking Tony’s heart, the way he’s desperately seeking an ally in him, delirious from his fever and begging to be spared from some suffering, but they have done everything else they could and none of it has made a dent in this murderous fever. There’s a reason they waited until they exhausted every single one of their other options before bringing up an ice bath: they all knew what this would do to Steve. They knew what they would be putting him through, but this is the last and only resort. It’s this or risk letting the next eight hours take his life.
Wilt Thou Exchange by twentysomething 
"The first time Steve meets Toni is about a week after he wakes up."
Steve Rogers' Life Is Not A Romance Movie (He Wouldn't Get The References, Anyway) by someonelsesheart
Steve hasn't always had this ridiculous crush on Tony Stark.
(Or, the one where Steve is his polite old self and doesn't really hate Tony Stark (unfortunately), Tony is a child progidy and apparently a cab driver now, too, and high school is still high school, even when you are the son of a billionaire.)
The More Things Change by cookinguptales 
Steve's not entirely sure how seduction works nowadays, but he's learned from the best.
Stop: Hammertime! by youcancallmearrow
When some asshole (*cough*Hammer*cough) puts out a hit on Tony, what are three translators, two security strategists and a Photoshop expert going to do about it?
Turns out, a whole hell of a lot.
The Corruption of Captain America by the Villain Tony Stark by ladililn
Iron Man paused. “Oh my god. You thought I was a robot.”
“No, I—” Steve felt his face flushing. “I…considered the possibility,” he admitted.
“You thought I was a robot who’s been hitting on you.”
“Is that really so crazy?” Steve felt an inexplicable need to defend himself. “In the forties, I fought a Nazi with a skull for a head.”

Cap-IM Rec Week - Cap-IM Monday Extra
Last day of @cap-ironman's rec week event! Thanks so much to them for organizing this event, and all the other events that inspired the following fics!
The Highwayman's Baronet by mariana_oconnor, orphan_account (@mariana-oconnor) (MCU | Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 125,525 words)
Written for: 2020 Captain America/Iron Man Big Bang
Summary: Steve Rogers has returned from the war. He has made his fortune, but lost everything in return. He is reeling from grief and at a loss of what to do with himself when the son of an old friend writes to offer him a home. He takes up the offer, but finds himself embroiled in a plot to bring down the country and raise Hydra from the grave. Can he uncover the traitor, save the handsome baronet, and avoid being hanged as a highwayman? A Regency AU featuring highwayman!Steve, Baronet!Tony, treason, nefarious plots and a dash of magic.
The Laird in the Water by jellybeanforest (@jellybeanforest-a-go-go) (MCU | Mature | Graphic Depictions Of Violence | 17,920 words)
Written for: Cap-IronMan Bingo
Summary: In 14th century Scotland, Steve is a child with an imaginary friend that lives in a nearby river, the site of many drownings and horrific discoveries. His Nan claims it to be the work of a kelpie. Steve doesn’t believe her of course. Kelpies are a myth, old wives tales to keep children from playing near swiftly-moving streams and young women from entertaining the company of handsome strangers. However, as he grows, Steve realizes that the young man in the water may not be quite as imaginary nor as innocuous as he once believed. For the Cap-IronMan Bingo 2019 Round 2 – AU: Fairy Tale Creatures.
Bugfuck Crazy (In Love With You) by Sadisticsparkle (sadisticsparkle) (616 | Explicit | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings | 7,912 words)
Written for: Cap-IronMan Bingo
Summary: It's the Avengers' first mission in a long time. Everything is familiar but awkward, but Steve is sure they'll find their groove. And then Tony is turned into a giant bug. Things get a little out of hand after that.
More below the cut!
Eigengrau by vorkosigan (@the-vorkosigan) (MCU | Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 16,811 words)
Written for: 2017 Captain America/Iron Man Holiday Exchange
Summary: Tony is captured; he doesn't know by whom, or why. He doesn't know how much time has passed since. What he knows is, he can now hear something in the adjacent cell, and that 'something' sounds a lot like Steve Rogers.
Let Us Not Forget This by citsiurtlanu (@citsiurtlanu) (Iron Man Noir | General Audiences | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings | 36,040 words)
Written for: Captain America/Iron Man Reverse Bang 2017
Summary: Steve Rogers knew, knows, will know Tony Stark, the adventurer, the scientist, the futurist. And Tony Stark - well, he's not really fond of the idea of this Captain America fellow being assigned to tag along as he, Rhodey, Pepper, and Jarvis race to find a powerful relic before the Nazis do, but he just has to go with it. What he doesn't - and can't - realize is how deeply Cap is tied into his life in ways he can barely even understand. Also available as a podfic read by DuendeVerde4 (@duendeverde4)
Before the Darkness Swallows You by Veldeia (@veldeia) (616 | Mature | Graphic Depictions Of Violence | 30,837 words)
Written for: Captain America/Iron Man Reverse Bang 2016
Summary: Steve was gone. Tony was all alone in the dark, the blackness of the damp, rock-walled corridor only occasionally broken by the fluttering fluorescent lamps in the ceiling. He wasn’t afraid of the dark. An abandoned mine was by no means the scariest environment he’d ended up in. Still, he’d have been crazy not to be afraid of what lurked in these shadows.
The Unlikely Wingman by Sineala (@sineala) (616 | General Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 1,074 words)
Written for: Cap-IronMan Bingo
Summary: Clint doesn't see why he should have to follow Captain America's orders. But he also doesn't see why Captain America should have to sit around looking miserably lonely, either.
Think of This as Solving Problems (That Should Never Have Occurred) by Sineala (@sineala) (616 | Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | 35,216 words)
Written for: 2015 Captain America/Iron Man Holiday Exchange
Summary: No one knows Tony is Iron Man. Then Tony gets amnesia, and literally no one knows Tony is Iron Man.
Got You Under My Skin by BlossomsintheMist (@blossomsinthemist) (Ults | Explicit | No Archive Warnings Apply | 26,115 words)
Written for: Captain America/Iron Man Reverse Bang 2014
Summary: “I’d be happy to show you a good time,” Tony said, smiling a little obscurely, Steve thought, as if to himself, but still with that warm, knowing look, affectionate and oddly fond, “any time you want.” Steve Rogers goes to Tony Stark's birthday party. Things progress from there, with a lot of flirtiness leading to propositions, and propositions leading to, well, what comes next, and Steve isn't even sure what he wants after that. Set in the Marvel Ultimate Universe, and written for the 2014 Cap_Ironman Reverse Big Bang. Art by wiredoll, here.

First Lines
Tagged by @oluka! Thank you. :)
Rules: list the first line(s) of your last 10 (or however many you have) posted fics and see if there’s a pattern!
An Open Palm
Over his long life, Wenwu had seen his share of strong men, all of whom had disappointed. No matter the era, no matter the nation, the empire, this held true: the flashier the man, the likelier his reputation was gilded, gold plating rather than solid gold. Beautiful but decorative. False. Cheap. 
Once More for the First Time
This was where they always ended up, the part of the story that stayed the same no matter how often it restarted or how much the scenery changed.
Hit and Run
"I know that road,” Tony said, and Steve saw it then too, the path that he had been on this entire time.
Puppet Master
Tony came awake, flattening his palm against the nearest tree to keep himself from pitching forward.
Body Talk
Steve wasn’t any good with words.
The Night Before, the Morning After
“Blue Steel’s right. If you’re going to make a bad decision, let me be your bad decision. Don’t text your ex.”
Taking Your Love With Me Wherever I Go
It took Rhodey by surprise just how happy it made him to see Sam, to know that he was capable of still feeling like this after everything. His grief was expansive, making him swollen with it, like all the tears he hadn’t shed transformed the whole of his body into his own internal reservoir.
The Burning of Flowers
Fire ran through Steve untempered, frothing, volcanic blood incinerating everything in its path: his veins, his muscles, everything he had felt for Tony. All had burned away and the little that remained had liquefied, melted into his rage, so that he was no longer himself, only that beastly anger. 
Deep Breath In, Deep Breath Out
Over the years, Sharon had been to many unexpected places.
In My Hands and Gone Again
“I think I was in love with someone.” 
I'm not surprised by the pattern because I'm somewhat aware of it when I write, but it was fun to look at it directly like this instead of letting it happen almost instinctually. For the most part, I go with an observation or realization the POV character has that sums up or sparks the core of the fic (and that reveals a lot about who they are or what their mindset is like). Sometimes that truth (their truth) is shattered, and sometimes it's reaffirmed. Very rarely does the thought come in the form of dialogue, though if it does, the dialogue acts the same way and serves as an impetus.
"Puppet Master" is the rare exception; that aberration comes down to the nature of the fic, which deals with Tony's disorientation and loss of agency over his body and mind. There was no other way to capture that fear and confusion and situate the reader in that instability except to start in medias res.
I tend to be a visual or sensory writer, so usually I sneak some description or a metaphor or simile in early on, and no matter what, I'm all about setting the mood for the story.
First lines are really important to me! I go by feel, and they have to feel right to me by tempo and by sound, by their gravity. That doesn't necessarily mean they have to be serious (my crack-ish AvAc fic, which isn't on this list, has a goofy first line), but they have to have weight. They have to feel justified; why this line(s) and not something else? I can't start writing otherwise because the first lines so often set the tone, direction, and meaning of the entire story for me. Sometimes this is the root of my suffering because I end up rewriting and rewriting the first paragraph until I finally find my way out. :')
I'm tagging @ishipallthings, @sineala, @kiyaar, @thahiree, @no-gorms, @sabrecmc, @citsiurtlanu, @msermesth, @whenas-in-silks, and @laiqualaurelote!

AO3 is back! Quick, link the fic that:
You are most proud of (one of your own!)
The fic you were or wanted to read when it went down (a current or new fav)
And finally, the fic you were most anxious to download once it returned/have downloaded for that reason (historical fav)
I love this ask anon, thank you for sending!!
Fic I'm most proud of would probably be Love Bites, but my favorite fic I've written would be Paradise Blue in 1872.
The two fics I was hankering to read while ao3 was down were Clandestine Meetings by @viudanegraaa and @sineala's remix of that fic, Wonders of the World (The Keep Me Safe From Harm Remix).
The stevetony fic that I would take to the grave to be buried with would be Amor Fati by citsiurtlanu. Literally cannot think about this fic for longer than two minutes otherwise i will be ripped apart by the force of my love for it.

I am terrible at coming up with original plots but enjoy wrangling existing plots, so I will probably be happiest with a prompt asking for a loose Steve/Tony adaptation of some existing movie/game/etc. (suggesting multiple prompts would also be welcome, so that I can choose whichever one speaks to me the most). Some guidance on how it should be adapted is fine too, but in general I would prefer filling in the details on my own. I am willing to read comic runs I’m unfamiliar with depending on what they are. I can start immediately, but note that I am a slow and hermited writer.

Omg I saw someone recommending this fic on Twitter and I just wanted to jump onboard since it’s literally one of my fave fics ever! Not gonna turn into a fic rec blog bc i think i’m too incoherent to ever write down in proper words why I love a fic so much other than me just throwing myself down to the ground and screaming “PLEASE READ THIS PLEASE READ THIS”
Anyways since 616!stevetony has been thriving lately, here’s one of my favourite 616!stevetony or just stevetony fic ever:
Amor Fati by citsiurtlanu
Tony Stark has always known what the words on his wrist are supposed to lead to. What he's never known is who the words are for. 616 soulmate AU.
Review (ish):
I think this was the first 616!stevetony fic I ever read and i’m not even kidding when I say that it left such a fucking huge impact on me that I still remember how emotional this fic was, 7/8 years after first reading it?
This fic was so beautifully written and so emotionally turbulent at the same time? It will WRECK you but it will also heal you.

Written for Round 13 of @lightsonparkave!  This is an unusual fic for me, being MCU and a no-powers AU to boot, but I hope people enjoy it!  We will return to your not-so-regularly-scheduled comics-verse programming soon.  Meanwhile, mind the tags and, uh, the movie that this fic is based on.  :’)

I knew I liked you. She wished him luck. He thanked her, though he didn’t believe in luck. He had one try, one try to get it right. She was counting on him, they all were. It felt good to be needed. It felt good to be useful. All these years, he had wanted nothing more. He couldn’t fail now. Not again.

Stevetony Weekly - August 20th
Tumblr media
 This week’s list is being prepped early because I’ll be traveling Sunday--so it’s shorter than normal. I’ll make it up to you next week! Remember to leave comment/kudos for the fic you love! 
~*~ 
Indefinitely by complicationstoo 
Recent college graduate Tony Stark is content with his life. He has his bookstore, a few close friends, and he hasn't spoken to his father in over a year. When Steve Rogers, the actor famous for his role as Captain America, walks into the store one autumn morning, Tony's in for one hell of a ride.
  A Notting Hill AU
Say My Name by citsiurtlanu
Steve reminds Tony that there's more to him than the war his weapons were used in.
The Strangers You Call Friends by Mireille
Stark frustrates Sheriff Rogers, but that doesn't mean he wants to see the man drink himself to death. Timely needs a blacksmith, after all.
A Handsome Stranger Called Death by hopelesse, isozyme
Steve Rogers was an optimist, and he had no sense for the limits of one man with a six-shooter and a strong will, but he was canny enough to know that he wasn’t getting any good done as pig food.
A mashup of 1872 and T. Kingfisher’s Jackalope Wives. You could also call it a vampire AU.
Inevitable Conclusion by ohmyloki
Steve wondered what Tony kissed like. Was it hard and fast like so much of Tony’s life had been? Or would it be something slow and methodical like how Tony was in his workshop, always making sure to dot his i’s and cross his t’s?
Architecture by Sineala
Tony decorates Avengers Tower for the new team's first Christmas, and Steve's standing in a very fortuitous place.
take me away to you by complicationstoo
One perfect weekend. That's how it starts.
stars glued to our thighs by starvels (dinosaur)
Steve’s been out of town for a few weeks, doing the superhero thing. To welcome Steve back home properly, Tony clears some space for Steve to slide right into.
you and I are both page and pen by Missy_dee811
I have a good life. I have wonderful friends. I’ve got more money than I know what to do with, and thanks to that, I have a knack for building elaborate tinker toys. They’ve helped me cope.
Through it all, I’ve managed to help some people here and there.
And I’ve been lucky, so very lucky. I manage a disease from which some never recover, for a scotch on the rocks tempts me daily.
But there’s always been the question of my heart.
[Podfic of] Wilt Thou Exchange by exmanhater
"The first time Steve meets Toni is about a week after he wakes up."
Ice Prince by complicationstoo
Tony Stark bought a hockey team on a whim, having never watched the sport in his life. He decides to take a hands-on approach to being a team owner and starts spending time with team captain Steve Rogers. "Hands-on approach" soon becomes very literal.
Toward the Sun by shinysylver
Steve is exhausted. He's spent a decade just trying to survive and somehow forgot how to live in the process. But is it too late to fix what he's broken?
Tony nearly died, but thanks to Extremis he's healthier than ever. However, just because the battle is over doesn't mean the war is won. He's out of retirement now for good or ill.
The only thing that's certain is that the Earth needs the Avengers and the Avengers need both Steve and Tony.
Enemy At The Gates by AvocadoLove
By the time Captain America was found and defrosted, the Chitauri had wiped out the entire state of New York, and Iron Man was the world’s most wanted villain.

Long Stony Action/Adventure Podfics: a very specific rec list
Do you like podfics that:
feature the pairing Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (from any universe)
include fighting villains, solving mysteries, and/or traveling to exciting and dangerous new places as a major part of the plot
and are at least 3.5 hours long?
Then this is the list for you!
(Also, send me podfic or fic recs because it sounds like you have excellent taste.)
[PODFIC] Relativistic Heat Conduction
read by Pywren (Explicit, 8 hours) tumblr: @phyrrhicvictory
Summary: Ultron has attacked, obliterating most of the world's superheroes and resistance in a matter of hours. The remaining heroes band together and share what strength they have to get through it, to survive, and defeat Ultron once and for all. Steve Rogers grieves in the wake of the disaster and the heroes' defeat, and no one knows if he will be able to provide the leadership they need--but Tony Stark isn't about to let him slip away that easily.
Based on Relativistic Heat Conduction by BlossomsintheMist (@blossomsinthemist)
[podfic] Let Us Not Forget This
read by DuendeVerde4 (General, 4.5 hours) tumblr: @duendeverde4
Summary: Steve Rogers knew, knows, will know Tony Stark, the adventurer, the scientist, the futurist. And Tony Stark - well, he's not really fond of the idea of this Captain America fellow being assigned to tag along as he, Rhodey, Pepper, and Jarvis race to find a powerful relic before the Nazis do, but he just has to go with it. What he doesn't - and can't - realize is how deeply Cap is tied into his life in ways he can barely even understand.
Based on Let Us Not Forget This by citsiurtlanu (@citsiurtlanu)
The rest are below the cut!
I (created from fantasies) exist solely for you [Podfic]
read by badfinch (Teen, 7.5 hours)
Summary: Six years ago, without the Avengers Initiative there to save the day, scientist Dr. Eric Selvig sacrificed himself to save the world, the almighty demi-god Thor was lost to a terrible storm, and vigilante Iron Man – spotted with a nuclear weapon trying to take advantage of the situation – was forever labelled an enemy of SHIELD.
This is a comic book office AU, where Steve is defrosted a year too late, Thor has forgotten who he is, and no one knows Tony is Iron Man.
Also includes: office pranks, inappropriate post-it notes, and superheroes who like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

[Podfic] Even the Light is an Illusion
read by Liannabob (Teen, 9.5 hours) tumblr: @liannabob
Summary: Death threats are an unfortunate side-effect of being Tony Stark, so he's learned to ignore them. The problem is, when someone really wants you dead, hiding your head in the sand just kinda exposes your ass.
But it's not just Tony's behind on the line. Whoever wants him dead wants him to suffer first, and they're willing to do anything to make that happen. Tony knows there's only one way out. To save Steve, the Avengers, and the general public, Tony has to die. Of course, death isn't always the end, and Tony does what any other self-disrespecting scientist would do: he finds a way to fake his death and avenge his own murder.
The trouble is, terrible decisions usually have a terrible price, and this one is no different. Tony has a chance to save the day, but the cost may be more than Tony was ever expecting to pay…

[PODFIC] Maybe this Time
read by Pywren (Explicit, 3.5 hours) tumblr: @phyrrhicvictory
Summary: Tony’s better now. You can even say he’s superior. But all the money, alcohol, and sex can’t stop the incursions, and when his world is destroyed, he ends up on an earth ten years younger than his own.
One where Steve goes by the name of Nomad.
If there’s one thing Steve’s good at, it’s reminding him of what really matters, and maybe that makes Nomad the person Tony needs if he's going to save the universe.

[Podfic] Straight on till Morning
read by M_Samro (Explicit, 11.5 hours) tumblr: @msamro
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.

[Podfic of] Waking The Dragon
read by Dr_Fumbles_McStupid (Explicit, 7 hours) tumblr: @dr-fumbles-mcstupid
Summary: Since humanity first started spreading across the land, pushing dragons back by sheer numbers, tensions have been high between the species. War is nearly endless, and Prince Tony, the half-human heir of the dragons, is sick of it. When King Howard of the dragons is poisoned, the fate of everything sits in the balance. In desperation to save his own life and to prevent decades of fighting over the throne, Tony sets off to find a cure.

In the interests of scuttling his own career, he starts on his own mission to find his answers. When he runs into Tony, they discover just how complicated things really are.

Fic Writer Interview Meme
Thank you for tagging me, Dora!
Name: sea/nostalgicatsea
Fandoms: Marvel. I’m into some other stuff as well, but I don’t know if I can say I’m in the fandom. 
Two-shot:
I don’t have any unless you count a two-part series and companion fics as two-shots. I’m going to count them so I don’t leave this section blank:
All These Half-Tones of the Soul (G, MCU, 22,888 words)
In lieu of the “summary” for the series, which is just a book quote, here are the summaries for the two fics:
Multitude of One (G, MCU, 4,277 words)
Summary: "So was I," his soulmate would tell him one day, and what it would mean was that they loved him.
Leaving Promises Against Your Skin (G, MCU, 18,611 words)
Summary: “Someday, someone will choose you, Tony,” his mother had said, her hands back to cupping his. “And no one, not your father, not anyone, can ever take that from you.”
Notes: I wish I could change the name of the series because it doesn’t fit completely, but oh well! This series was grueling to write, but it was by far the most rewarding because I didn’t think I could do it. Even if there are things I wish I could fix (I think that way about almost every fic I write), I’m proud of what I accomplished. I wrote the story I wanted to write and did something I never thought I could. I felt like I was running a marathon and at the end, that level of euphoria was probably the closest I’ll get to a runner’s high. I want to feel that again. 
IW companion fics:
The Great Silence of Loss (G, MCU, 1,075 words)
Summary: There was no reason to keep the phone, not when Tony didn't have his, not when Tony was gone and all keeping it would do was hurt him, but Steve held onto it anyway.
Signals Between Two Satellites (G, MCU, 2,290 words)
Summary: He hadn't allowed himself to dream of this, of Tony returning to him. Not when he had lost so much. Not when dreaming of the impossible would destroy him. But Tony was here, and for the first time since Thanos had wiped out half of the universe, Steve felt hope. Notes: After watching IW, I thought I’d have the same dry spell as I did after AoU. I didn’t think I had anything to write about, but it ended up being my most prolific era! I don’t know why or I do, but I don’t have the space to talk about it here and I’m not sure I can express myself accurately. There’s something about unspeakable loss sweeping you out to sea, making everything else before both insignificant and magnified. Every regret, every love. When you’re so lucky so as to hold onto or regain something you lost, there’s so much power in that love and hope even when you’re not sure things will ever be okay again.
I have two other fics that are companion pieces to each other but not officially so I’ll leave them off! In case you’re wondering, they’re “Thunder Hurried Slow” and “Leaving You Forward.”
Most popular:
Multitude of One (G, MCU, 4,277 words)
Summary: "So was I," his soulmate would tell him one day, and what it would mean was that they loved him.
Notes: The clear winner when it comes to hits, kudos, and comments, but when it comes to bookmarks, the sequel, LPAYS, surpasses MoO in numbers. I love soulmate fics, but I wasn’t sure what to write (other than that one soulmate fic that I’ve been trying to write since 2014 which hasn’t happened yet). I read some angsty CW soulmate fics, and then this idea struck me because I loved them, but I wanted to see something different.
I wanted to explore the idea of idealization and romanticization of a soul mark, especially when your assumptions of its meaning turn out to be completely incorrect, and the significance of soulmates. Is your soulmate important because you love them, or do you love them because they’re your soulmate? What happens if you can’t see who they are, even if they’re in front of you the whole time, and fail them because you’re so focused on the idea of them? I also wanted to try and see if I could bring the iconic 616 “It wasn’t worth it” line to the MCU in a way that made it organic to the universe here. Again, shoutout to the fics I read before this idea burst into my head, specifically “Zugzwang” by the great Woad.
Actual worst part of writing:
Most of the time, I know how the story begins and ends, but I don’t know how to get from A to C. Sometimes I have fragments in between, but I don’t know how to connect them! I get bogged down in plot holes or issues I don’t know how to fix and I get stuck for a long time. 
How you choose your titles:
Everyone moans about coming up with titles—and understandably so, as it’s the worst when you can’t come up with one—but oddly enough, titles come really easily to me. They just...float to the surface of my mind. In some cases, they’re there before I start writing. Other times, when I start and I’m at the beginning of the story. It’s almost like I feel the story/feel the titles as though I’m searching for the story’s true name which sounds SO obnoxiously pretentious lolsdkfjdas, but that’s the only way I can explain it. It’s almost a sensory experience for me. They have to be right (there’s this moment where it feels right, whether it’s this quiet recognition or a “YES! That’s it” eureka moment) and there has to be a meaning behind them that explains what the story is about in some way. Otherwise, I get stuck. There are a few titles that I’m not particularly fond of because nothing really came to me, but I had to go with what I came up with due to time constraints. They still rub me the wrong way when I look at them.
Do you outline:
I usually know the start and end of a story before I write, and most of my stories are short enough so that means I don’t have to outline. Longer stories, though...I probably need to outline. That’s where I struggle and why I haven’t written anything really over 6k other than LPAYS (I was a mess writing it, but I can go into that separately if anyone’s interested). :’) I’d say that I half plot and half fly by the seat of my pants; I leave enough room on a bare-bones outline in my head to improvise. 
Ideas you probably won’t get around to, but wouldn’t it be nice:
MY ENTIRE LIST OF WIPS LMAO ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT HAVE TO BE LONG FICS. :’))))))))
Callouts @ me:
STOP TWISTING YOURSELF INTO KNOTS TRYING TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT. You only need to know the big stuff, but you always think you need to know how every tiny thing works before you start. Shut up and start writing! You spend most of your time saying you’ll write and then getting distracted by going online, saying you want to write, or complaining about how writing is hard. Just write something! Learn discipline! ALSO, YOU ARE SO OBSESSED WITH NATURE, EYES, SMILES, ETC. PLEASE LEARN TO USE OTHER METAPHORS AND PRACTICE HOW TO EXPRESS MOVEMENT, EMOTION, AND PRESENCE THROUGH OTHER WAYS TOO.
Wait, I’m not sure I’m supposed to be yelling at myself here. I can do fun callouts! @ self, you’re so weak for anything related to home and the concept of together....istg, that’s all you write about.
Best writing traits:
I’m good at atmosphere and rhythm although the latter has become less of a thing over the years as I started writing longer stuff. But still! 
Tangential opinion:
This can be difficult to believe and it can take time (I certainly didn’t start out like this in my first fandom pre-Marvel), but honestly, write for yourself and your friends and/or write for yourself without expectations on how you’ll be received. I would say write for yourself first and foremost, but you’re in fandom because you want to be part of a community so I’m not going to say to write for yourself only unless you want to. When you find a close group of a few friends, you’ll realize that the most important thing is you guys having fun and everything else is a nice surprise—or if you’re more of a lurker, then it’s nice just seeing a few people respond to you especially if you start to see it’s the same few people the more you write. A lot of the times, they become the people you befriend too.
Tagging: @kiyaar, @ishipallthings, @citsiurtlanu, @welcomingdisaster, @no-gorms, and anyone else who wants to do this!
