SteveTony Weekly - Holiday Special

Happy holidays, my friends! I know a lot of us spend the holidays with more free time than normal, and I thought I’d put together a list of very long fic for you to indulge in during your down time--enjoy and be sure to give your author a comment/kudos if you enjoy it! 

~ 

[Podfic of] When The Lights Go On Again by Dr_Fumbles_McStupid, kalakirya, KD reads (KDHeart), lattice_frames, lavenderfrost, miss_marina95, Opalsong, paraka, Superstitiousme, vassalady

Aliens have invaded earth, and the Avengers are scattered. While Steve leads the resistance, Tony once again finds himself playing captive scientist. In the midst of a violent alien regime, separated by seemingly insurmountable boundaries, Steve and Tony have nothing to keep themselves going but each other.

Note: This was 19hours of FANTASTIC story--highly recommend it if you’ve got a long drive or time off. 

One-Man Army by Captain_Panda

Takes place immediately after the Chitauri attack in Avengers 1.

Steve is running himself into the ground. Tony notices.

Then Steve gets knocked down hard. And Tony intervenes.

Note: I’ve rec’ed this before. It’s delightfully long and nearly perfect--there’s very little downtime in the way of weakness with the pacing and writing, which is a feat in and of itself at over 600k. 

America Isn't Chicken by Amuly 

After a Civil War, death, rebirth, a takeover by Osborn, brain deletion, and the fall of Asgard, Steve and Tony might just be starting to get back on solid ground with one another. Things aren't perfect, not yet, but they can be in the same room as each other without resorting to violence, and they've even managed to share a smile or two.

Seems like the perfect time, then, for Tony to try and fuck it all up with a stupid game of gay chicken.

Meanwhile, as if he didn't have enough to worry about, Tony realizes some kind of supervillainous trouble is brewing when increasingly advanced armors start popping up all over Manhattan, looking strangely reminiscent of his tech. On the other side of the world, Steve gets news that Zola is on the move in Russia, with some sort of nefarious plan at work.

Which will ruin them first? Will it be this unknown armored villain who is after Tony's tech? Or will it be Zola unleashing his mysterious plan on the world? Or will Steve and Tony prove to be their own worst enemies, destroying the tentative truce they managed to forge with their own stubbornness?

Note: Just really delightful 616 fic. It’s a comfort read, tbh. 

Data is King by Amuly

In a cyberpunk dystopia, all the wealth is concentrated in New Versailles and the majority live in impoverished ghettos outside. Prosthetics are strictly prohibited, though many of the poor have body modifications to help them live. Steve Rogers is an idealistic young man who raids the storerooms of New Versailles with his best friend Bucky Barnes, to bring food and medicine to the poor. But when tragedy strikes, Steve is inspired by Dr. Erskine to go seek out the notorious slumlord/black market trader Tony Stark. Rumor has it that Tony used to be a member of New Versailles, but left to make his fortune off the backs of the working man... or was he kicked out? Although they don't hit it off at first, Steve and Tony must work together.

They have some help. The Three Fates are women who control information. Steve's friends from his old life are good people on the fringes of society because of their prosthetic enhancements. And there's Tony's network of resources and connections, not to mention his brilliant engineering mind that helped him build his empire.

But when Steve and Tony finally manage to put their differences aside and rise up against New Versailles... not everything is as simple as it seemed.

Note: So I haven’t actually read this one--but it’s on my list for the week I’m off so I’m sharing it with ya’ll now. 

Maybe Tomorrow by scifigrl47

Tony Stark may well be the richest man in America. In the depths of the Great Depression, that's no small claim. When a plot is hatched for him to take in an orphan for a week, everyone knows it's a publicity stunt. No one knows it better than Officer Steve Rogers, but he's got a job to do, and he's going to do it. Doesn't mean he's going to approve.

Yes, it's an Annie AU.

Yes. That Annie.

Note: I’m a huge fan of scifigrl47 and this fic is all of the reasons why--excellent storytelling, relationships and kids interacting and Stevetony being amazing. 

Forty-Seven Flat by geekymoviemom

Steve Rogers was on the top of the world. He was one of the top students in his class, a world-class athlete, and had a man who loved him. Winning an Olympic Gold Medal seemed like the perfect addition to his picture-perfect life.

But only four years later, Steve’s entire world has come crashing down around him, leaving defending his Olympic title the only thing lying between him and utter ruin.

And then, the unthinkable happens.

Note: I really love sports AU, and this one was just a lot of fun. 

Celestial Navigation by sabrecmc 

Celestial Navigation: 18 year old Omega!Tony finds himself Bonded to Captain Steve Rogers. He isn't happy about it until he is.

By request, here is CN in one place without other stories and artwork.

Note: I love this fic. It’s probably one of my top 10 fav stevetony fics, because it’s just so good. The slow burn and Steve’s slow devotion is just--so lovely. 

Where Our Restless Monsters Sleep by Mizzy

Years after Tony Stark saved the universe, the Avengers realize there’s a major problem: his body has gone missing. And he isn’t the only one. Fallen heroes all over the galaxy have had their graves pillaged.

An old foe is stealing the bodies of fallen warriors, but for what nefarious reason? There’s only one solution. To find out why it’s happening, Steve’s gotta die.

He probably shouldn’t be so eager to do that.

Note: I really love the set up of this fic, the way it leans into canon MCU and still gives us Stevetony. Also--worms. 

Deep in the Heart of Me by Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar)

Veteran single dad Steve runs a tattoo shop. Pepper arranges for Tony to get that tattoo he always wanted, and he winds up with the mother of all crushes instead. Jumping out of airplanes is one thing, but love requires real courage. Steve struggles with letting someone into his life. Tony tries to keep his heart intact while Steve works on his issues.

Craving a realistic depiction of a romantic relationship featuring PTSD, mental health issues, and characters who discuss their problems? This might be for you. No magic fixes here but a happy ending is guaranteed!

Note: I love this fic because it’s so realistic--the way Steve protects Peter from his new relationship is the most realistic depiction of good parenting I’ve ever seen in fic, and I ADORE it. Tony’s patience and hurt and sweetness is everything to me. 

A Higher Form of War by sabrecmc 

Tony is a King with a surprising number of people out to kill him. Steve and the rest of the Avengers are fighting for Pierce's rebellion and end up with Tony as their prisoner. Oops.

Basically one of those bodice-ripping romance novels I don't read (ahem) but with far more gay.

Note: It’s amazing. It’s slow and beautiful and I love Steve so much I can’t even.

Lore 🫵

OKAY SO. uhh cw for talk of suicide... this is rain world so that's kind of a given but hey better safe than sorry

this au uses a tweaked version of my rewrite/oc lore, because hey, i have a perfectly good void stand-in all ready to go in the form of the Dark Water or Void Water (the stuff Bristlefrost drowned in, and also an important part of my OC Willowsong's story)!

There are a few mechanics that are relevant here:

The soul separates from the body a moment before death, and either joins a regional or cultural afterlife or wanders as a ghost for a while. Generally, if they do the latter, they join an afterlife eventually--the Sisters are, notably, an exception for this. The wandering is their afterlife.

Spirits fade over time, as they lose their sense of identity and 'tethers' to the waking world. Faded souls return to the 'cloud', so to speak, to eventually be reborn into a new body, keeping none of their memories.

The only thing that has been known to erase a soul from both waking world and afterlife wholly and entirely (or at least render it untraceable, somehow) is Void Water.

While on that last point, that has only ever been known to happen to one cat--and that's where we get into the plot, because that cat is Sliverstraw (Sliver of Straw).

She was a SkyClan cleric, well-respected and with a powerful connection to StarClan, but otherwise unremarkable. Some will claim that she grew... distant, in the time before her disappearance, but that's not really important. What's important is that she showed up one day, apparently scared out of her wits, and delivered an ominous prophecy before returning to the Moonpool to try and figure out what she'd seen--before vanishing, nowhere to be found. A thorough search was carried out, and the other clerics found that she was not in StarClan, either.

Right, the other clerics, those are important! all the main iterators are clerics Because i wanted to. There's:

Scarletsun (Seven Red Suns) of ThunderClan, and their apprentice Needlepaw (The Spearmaster)

Pebblestorm (Five Pebbles) and Moongaze (Looks to the Moon) of RiverClan

Lavenderfrost (Unparalleled Innocence) of WindClan

Howlheart (No Significant Harassment) of ShadowClan, and his apprentice Houndpaw (The Hunter)

Greywind (Grey/Chasing Wind) of SkyClan, former apprentice of Sliverstraw

In this universe, the Sliverists were just... your average, run-of-the-mill death cult where a bunch of people with fifty three different mental illnesses enabled each other. They maintained their anonymity by communicating via notes carved into pieces of tree bark and left at certain locations (although I don't doubt that some recognized one another by handwriting [pawwriting? clawwriting?]).

While they did influence Pebblestorm's mentality, it was ultimately Scarletsun that gave him the Big Idea, which... okay. in my heart the conversation went something like

Scarletsun: i think you should like drown yourself in holy water or something at this point i genuinely think that's the only thing that would fix you Pebblestorm: YOU'RE A FUCKING GENIUS

but like of course that won't ever be canon so yknow

either way. Pebbles tries to drown himself in the Moonpool. enters StarClan (or is it the Dark Forest?) instead. Tries to drown himself in their fucked up shadow lake Bristlefrost-style. However, Moon's figured out what Pebbles is trying to do at this point, and follows him into the afterlife to try and save him. She pulls him out of the water at a pivotal moment, leaving him functionally dead but his soul still bound to his body (not that he can use it), pretty much a ghost who can still sort of feel his corpse and is incapable of truly joining the afterlife or fading on account of this tether.

In his rage (at both Moon half-saving his life and his newfound state of existence), he turns and shoves her into the water. She is larger and stronger than him, but he catches her off-guard, and holds her there under the water for a moment before realizing what he's done and positively booking it out of there (if it sucks... hit da bricks! -friend ships -consequences of your actio -this mortal coil -too fancy afterlife -murder scene if your quick).

When neither Moon nor Pebbles returns from the Moonpool, Howlheart gets worried. He does not have a connection to StarClan himself (he's a cleric mostly for his skill in healing, rather than abilities as a medium), but he knows that something has most likely gone very, very wrong. And it was probably Pebblestorm's fault, because of course it was.

So he sends his apprentice Houndpaw to check on them. Pebblestorm, of course, is absent, but Houndpaw manages to pull Moongaze's spirit from the lake (the banks are steep enough that once you fall in, it is all but impossible to escape without help)--I say her spirit, because her body is, by this point, dead. She is in a similar position to Pebblestorm, however she cannot feel her body at all--she's just... almost entirely dead, but not quite dead enough to join the afterlife. Or have her body decay at normal speeds. (That comes in handy later.)

What no one accounted for is that dark water is highly corrosive, even in small doses, even when it does not break the skin or cause major damage, and capable of corrupting both souls and bodies even (and especially) before it pulls them apart. and, uh... that hunter sure can long legs !

Pebblestorm eventually settles in the cave systems beneath and around where they bury his body, Rock-style.

Arti and Gourmand aren't too important here--Arti (or Crimsonshade) was a clan-cat-turned-rogue who helped fight off a rogue group that had settled in Pebblestorm's caves (and also killed her first litter), while Gourmand (Claypelt) was a TNP-journey-gang-style scout for the Clans' relocation (which would, of course, leave Pebbles and Moon all alone). Monk (Dandelionpaw) and Survivor (Asterpaw) were a pair of apprentices that were separated from the group during said relocation.

Which leaves us with Rivulet and Saint! Rivulet (Ruffles) is a kittypet with unusual skills as a medium who wanders into Pebblestorm's tunnels by mistake. Pebblestorm, whose body has all but decayed, but who is still by some force bound here even as his soul grows weaker and weaker, instructs Ruffles to dig up Moongaze's corpse and bring it to the tunnels' central chamber.

Ruffles does as they are told (a normal cat's body would have long since decayed, but these circumstances are all but normal). Moongaze's ghost follows, and the two reunite for a brief moment before Pebblestorm does what he has long since decided he must do.

A mockery of a nine-lives ceremony, with only one life to give. He knows full well it will take almost everything out of him, but it works, at the very least. Moongaze is returned to her body to live out the rest of her expected lifespan (although with some complications on account of said body having been very dead for quite a while).

Ruffles eventually has to leave when their housefolk move, leaving the two ghosts (or... one ghost and one. whatever Moongaze is at this point) alone once more.

A year or two later, a flood caused by a summer storm makes Pebblestorm's part of the tunnels collapse. He no longer has the strength to leave, instead spending the rest of his time among the rubble.

The following year brings the coldest, bitterest winter either has ever seen--and with it a strange presence, the loner known only as Saint. Their origins are unclear, although Moon swears she sees a familiar glint in their eye when they first meet...

Regardless, they are perhaps the strongest medium in this world or the next. No one can quite figure out how they achieved such attunement, but--

They present Pebblestorm with a choice--cut his tethers and go to StarClan, or be erased from this world entirely. What he should have had or what he wanted. He responds with 'anything but this'. Or something along those lines, it's quite difficult for him to speak at this point.

Saint, ultimately, allows him to ascend to StarClan, to reunite with his old world (he will fade anyways, eventually, they reason. No need to erase a perfectly good soul). Eventually they do the same to Moon, which was... less warranted, but yknow. a saint's gotta do what a saint's gotta do (:

also Saint eventually goes on a frolick through StarClan and the Dark Forest, like they do in canon w/ Rubicon. saint will see a moonpool and go 'is anyone gonna jump in' and not wait for an answer

WOOO that was long. a lot of lore is still WIP but we ball

Lavenderfrost

ShellClan Warrior

Updates: June 2021

Lavenderfrost holds onto her strong protective nature, going out of her way to check in with not only her kits, but to practically adopt Hazepaw as well and keep an eye on them. While she is ready to fight the rogues should they return, she is also often found working around camp to help make extra safe hidden places to hide or make it harder to get in camp.

Current Name: Lavenderfrost

Previous Names: Moth

Given Name: Mothra

Birthdate: September 2017

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Birthplace: Two-Leg Place

Previously: Cluster Scout

Starting Description:

Lavenderfrost is a long and silky furred molly with flowing long fur. She has cool slate blue eyes, and peach markings kiss along her pale silver fur. White marks across her body, decorating her elegantly. Mothra had been born a kittypet and given away, however at a young age she ran away and found the Cluster. When the Cluster started moving, she was reunited with her brother.

Growth Description:

(WIP)

Personality:

At first glance, Lavenderfrost appears to be a cold, dignified, and distant person who prefers to keep her emotions subdued and speaking in a very high-class, eloquent, almost stoic fashion. However, when interacting with Patchedface, she smiles and shows that she cares about her brothers life and well-being, based on how she inquires if has been eating properly, gained any new hobbies, and made any new friends. Lavenderfrost is very intuitive towards her brothers emotions. With that said, she is not afraid to raise her paw to him when she is annoyed. Overall, she truly loves him and wants him to succeed in life.

She can be very harsh as well. When she attempts to work with others in the clan, should they fail her own expectations she fiercely rebukes excuses and cites lack of resolve.

Although she strives to keep her emotions in check, she can be rather hot-headed at times. Once she becomes angry, she drops her dignified ladylike demeanor and loses all restraint. She may even attack if provoked. She is fiercely loyal to her superiors and the cats that took her in previous to ShellClan, and now to Dawnstar, and becomes infuriated whenever their judgment is questioned. She is equally faithful to authority, however, and respectfully defers to it when at odds with an order.

Lavenderfrost: f, a new mother struggling to raise her three kits in a time of turmoil for her clan. Icespark: m, lavenderfrost’s mate, a strict but kind father, he’s doing his best to support his clan, while also hoping to be made deputy. Palmclaw: m, an ex-rouge who joined his clan with his mate, watershine. He was once a feared and strong warrior, and still has plenty of scars to prove it, but he is now a nursery queen, raising his daughter sandkit, after watershine died of sickness.

Lavenderfrost - A determined and intelligent she-cat. Lavenderfrost always tries to excel at whatever she does - and that includes raising her kits, despite the current situation the clan finds itself in. Lavenderfrost is extremely resourceful, she always seems to be able to find a solution to any problem, and she is trying her best to use this ability to help give her kits as good a life as they can under the circumstances, she is grateful to have Icespark there for support, she is a proud cat but even she admits that this is a task she couldn’t do on her own,15/10

Icespark - A serious and kind tom. Icespark wants to do his best to protect his family and his clan, he is a great believer in following the warrior code but will allow for some rule bending from time to time if it is truly the best thing to do, he doesn’t like to see cats suffer unnecessarily. Icespark always tries his best to keep a balance between what his clanmates want and what they actually need, and he will often take charge when the opportunity presents itself - he feels that his steady head is what the clan needs in such times, and he hopes his leader will recognise this, 15/10

Palmclaw - A courageous and caring tom. Palmclaw may appear fearsome, especially when you hear tales of his many bloody battles, but you will be hard pressed to find a cat that loves so deeply and intensely as he does, he has given up the ferocious lifestyle he loved to ensure his daughter has a constant parental figure in her life and to honour Watershine’s memory - he goes to her grave to lay a pebble or a flower every day in her memory, when she died something broke in him he don’t think he will ever be able to fix, but he knows Sandkit will help- she is the most important thing in his life now and he will do anything to make sure she is happy and safe. Palmclaw never backs down from a fight and will always be the first to charge into a dangerous situation, both out of a sense of exhilaration and the loyalty he has to his clanmates, he may have been born a rogue but it would be his honour to die a clan cat, 13/10

Lavenderfrost’s Bio Family

Blizzard - Hail’s sister and “leader” of the Mill Cat Clowder. She’s deaf but you’d never guess it.

Hail - Lavenderfrost’s dad. Big hard outside with a warm soft inside. 

Sweetpea - Lavenderfrost’s mom. Little sweetheart who worries a lot.

Rain - Lavenderfrost’s sister. A stubborn beauty.

[podfic] The Shadow Over England, a Lovecraftian take on Shakespeare by La Reine Noire

Let me read you a story! This is a horrifying piece full of deliciously mounting tension in an alternate England, in which Richard III finds himself faced with slightly ...different challenges.

I discovered this tale through lavenderfrost’s fascinating meta essays about her cover-art design process, in the course of which she made an irresistible offer—and so my humble performance is graced by the absolutely stunning cover art below. (To be clear, I would’ve read this cover art or not, as it was also an irresistible story, at least to me.)

A gift of unspeakable words to @poorshadowspaintedqueens​ for granting permission for transformative works so I could read this to you.

The Shadow Over England, a story by La Reine Noire, inspired by Shakespeare’s Henry VI (parts 1, 2 and 3) and Richard III, and Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos, read by CompassRose, 23:32

Rating: Mature (Graphic depictions of violence; major character death)

Colorstrology: Lavender Frost

Сегодня у меня первый рабочий день после долгого отпуска, так что начнём с чего-нибудь легкого.

Все вы знаете Институт Цвета Pantone. Ребята из Pantone каждый год выбирают цвет наступающего года. Например, цветом 2020 объявили классический синий.

Но что вы вряд ли знаете, так это что те самые пресловутые ребята из Pantone выпустили несколько лет назад книжку Colostrology, с цветом на каждый день года и описанием характера родившегося в этот день.

Понятное дело, что это не более чем просто залипательная развлекуха и правды там особо не ищите, но залипуха то развлекательная. Книжка продаётся на амазоне, а ещё простым смертным доступен сайт.

Мне это всё дико полюбилось, и я даже своих коллег подсадила на цветострологию. 

На 28 января выпадает цвет под названием Lavender Frost.

Думайте что хотите, но как по мне, это самый красивый цвет в мире. Ну один из самых красивых, по крайней мере.
