My gift for sadieb798 for @stonylovessteve!!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark Characters: Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Sarah Rogers (Marvel) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Neighbors, Alternate Universe - Modern: No Powers, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alpha Tony Stark, Omega Steve Rogers, Fluff, Fluff and Angst, Found Family, Age Difference, Neighbors, Getting Together, Developing Relationship, Omega Sarah Rogers, Good Parent Sarah Rogers, Sick Sarah Rogers, Canonical Character Death Summary:

In hindsight, Tony wondered just how long that confidence would have lasted if not for the chance meeting and unexpected kindness of his new neighbors. Would he have held his own or would he, like Obie had sworn, come crawling back by the end of the year?

If Tony was honest, he didn’t know. It was terrifying to think too hard about, frankly, and so he tried not to. For once, Tony opted to count his blessings where he could find them.

His phone shows the message as received, which—why is Tony awake? A moment later, Steve’s phone starts ringing.

Steve finds a puppy. It changes his relationship with Tony forever.

Stony (Tony Stark/Steve Rogers)

Post End Game, fix it, internalized homophobia, emotional hurt/comfort

14.8K words

Written for @thahiree for @stonylovessteve 2025!

For Steve there had always been hidden feelings between him and Tony. Always ignored, always repressed. The war has been long over, and now all that's left is having a normal life. He wants Tony in it, but those feelings have never gone away. There are few things Steve is afraid of, but his true self is one of them. When he finally gets the courage to attempt acknowledging it—Steve has no clue what he's doing or if he can even follow through.

—⎊—

“It offended something fundamental in Steve, because buildings were supposed to belong, not mock and loom over the city.”

or: Steve’s an architect with opinions. Tony’s a visionary with money, bad taste, and a terrible blueprint. It’s not love at first sight, but it might be something.

Below the cut is the final list of all the works produced for the exchange and the creators.

Wish I Was Home With You By Now by ishipallthings for FotiBrit (MCU, 2.2k)

To his surprise, Steve shakes his head and steps closer. “I’m happy right here. I want to be here with you,” he says. Tony feels his jaw slacken in surprise, warmth flooding him at Steve’s words. In which Steve gets Asgardian drunk and can’t stop saying nice things about Tony.

it’s where we began, and what we built everything on by Thahire for meidui (MCU, 7.7k)

He tells himself it’s not a big deal, and maybe it isn’t, when he snaps a picture of the puppy and sends it to Tony, along with a quick found this little guy abandoned by the side of the road. His phone shows the message as received, which—why is Tony awake? A moment later, Steve’s phone starts ringing.

Steve finds a puppy. It changes his relationship with Tony forever.

Tie The Knot by BladeoftheNebula for Jeniouis (AU, 3.9k)

Steve is always the bonding ceremony planner, never the bonded-to-be, and he likes it that way. Really, he does.

Stay. by captainstars for FrankTheSnek (MCU, 1.8k)

Even the back of Tony’s neck is flushed, and Steve can’t bring himself to look anywhere else at the moment. He knows this is not just because Tony is going through pre-heat. It’s the fact that Tony is on the cusp of his heat, and he got into the elevator with Steve while no one else is around.

why is he wearing it??? by wingheads for dntat (616, comic)

steve just wants to find his sweater.

He Who Owns The Sky by sililoquent for BladeoftheNebula (MCU, 6k)

Steve’s an architect with opinions. Tony’s a visionary with money, bad taste, and a terrible blueprint. It’s not love at first sight, but it might be something.

when i can be brave (say we’ll be always) by xWinterDreamsx for capsicleonyourleft (616, 8k)

“Oh. He didn’t tell you?” Carol asked in surprise, putting Steve on edge. “No,” he said slowly, trying to mask the agitation he felt. It was probably nothing, just something that slipped Tony’s mind. He couldn’t think that Tony would deliberately keep something important from him. “He has a date. Seemed really excited about it too.” “Oh.”

Love Thy Neighbor by ABrighterDarkness for sadieb798 (MCU, 6k)

In hindsight, Tony wondered just how long that confidence would have lasted if not for the chance meeting and unexpected kindness of his new neighbors. Would he have held his own or would he, like Obie had sworn, come crawling back by the end of the year? If Tony was honest, he didn’t know. It was terrifying to think too hard about, frankly, and so he tried not to. For once, Tony opted to count his blessings where he could find them.

astronomy in reverse by medui for DragonoftheShadows (MCU, 10k)

Steve’s body kicks into adrenaline overload and there are a few long seconds of panic before he registers something foreign lodged against his heart. He looks down and finds a glowing blue circle in the center of his chest with a bright white triangle of light in it, and when he reaches to touch it, his hands aren’t his hands. Tan and calloused. Marred with little scars, like a mechanic or welder might have.

Baby, I'm perfect for you by dingadur for Becci_chan (MCU, 2k)

In a world where your soulmate's name appears on your skin only after you touch, Steve had all but convinced himself that a soul bond simply wasn't in the cards for him. Imagine his surprise when he discovers the name Anthony inscribed across his ribs.

Man vs. Myth by waywardmillenial for ABrighterDarkness (MCU, 5k)

There's the myth of the legendary figure that everyone expects when they think of Captain America. And then there's the truth of the man, Steve Rogers.

Hold me steady by DragonoftheShadows for xxDustNight88 (MCU, 1k)

Steve is badly injured in a battle. As Tony tries to stabilise him, both men realise they have something they want to say to the other. Things get... a bit complicated.

Why I’m Here, Why I’ve Always Been Here by FrankTheSnek for Thahire (MCU, 15k)

For Steve there had always been hidden feelings between him and Tony. Always ignored, always repressed. The war has been long over, and now all that's left is having a normal life. He wants Tony in it, but those feelings have never gone away. There are few things Steve is afraid of, but his true self is one of them. When he finally gets the courage to attempt acknowledging it—Steve has no clue what he's doing or if he can even follow through.

4 Ur Eyes Only by sadieb798 for wingheads (Ambiguous, 1k)

Steve keeps getting his husband's nudes. And it's making his life hell.

Gilded Distractions by XxDustNight88 for waywardmillenial (MCU, 2k)

While the Avengers enjoy a royal retreat in Asgard, Steve and Tony find themselves navigating unfamiliar stars, quiet truths, and the possibility of something more.

Then the Man Found Blue by Wikketkrikket for dingadur (MCU, 10k)

They call him America's Soulmate. When Steve gets the serum, he can see colours for the first time. It makes sense; Steve found his purpose in being Captain America, now he can see colour - that should be the end of it. Except, once he reaches the future, all the colours are wrong again and his assigned babysitter - one Tony Stark - definitely isn't telling him something.

The License Affair by Neverever for picturecat (AA, 2.5k)

Steve is presumed to be Tony's husband when Tony is reported to have died in an accident. But Steve can't get his body unless they are married.

The Abduction by dntat for Wikketkrikket (MCU, 2.8k)

After being abducted by aliens, Steve and Tony have to undergo three trials to make it back home. Steve's not sure if he's going to make it.

Mondays Are Ours by becci_chan for ishipallthings (MCU, 4.5k)

After working for years in a bar, Steve was sure he’d seen and heard everything, met all kinds of people. Honestly, Steve didn’t think he could be surprised anymore during one of his shifts – the night shift, as usual. He looked up and had to admit that he was surprised. Tony Stark of all people was not who he had expected on a random Monday night. Especially not in his business attire.

missing each other by FotiBrit for sililoquent (MCU, 9k)

Nobody gets to decide when two people stop loving each other. Not even when one of them breaks off the relationship.

The Red Dot by capsicleonyourleft for Neverever (616, 6k)

Art is both Steve’s refuge and his most terrifying act of truth-telling. When a mysterious buyer begins collecting his art, it threatens to expose pieces of himself he doesn't want known.

I hope you understand (there's a reason why) by picturecat for captainstars (MCU, 2.5k)

Kamala ships it. Nadia is curious about the social sciences. Miles does not want to get yelled at. Steve is just trying to take a road trip.

Better Than Shield by Jeniouis for xWinterDreamsx (MCU, 4.7k)

Steve is adjusting to civilian life now that he's retired. Doesn't mean he doesn't still care about his team.
