Steve Tony Weekly - December 11th

 Happy Sunday! Here’s what I’ve read this week. Enjoy and remember to leave your author comments/kudos. 

***Marks my recent favorites 

~*~ 

Selfish Secret by ABrighterDarkness

He felt a heavy roll of animosity and jealousy roll through him strong enough to make his teeth ache as he watched that familiarly muscled arm drape over someone else’s shoulders. Tony could feel that comforting weight across his own as crystal clear in memory as the visual he was being treated to.

Hold Fast, Dear Captain by RoseGoldAmpersand

Tony remembered Doctor Stephen Strange from the more wild nights of his youth, but he was pretty sure Strange hadn't worn a cape back then. At an Avenger's gala, Tony reunites with his ex-lover and a jealous Captain America sets out to remind his partner exactly who it is he belongs to.

Never Mind Where I Am by scribblywobblytimeylimey

“Please tell me you just kissed me.”

 Tony wakes up from his fall in New York heavily concussed. He may not know where he is, what just happened, or who the people around him are; but even without his memories, he’s willing to bet the man at his side is the most beautiful human being he’s ever laid eyes on.

Insta-Family by parkrstark 

Tony and Steve foster Harley and Peter: two boys with their own trauma to deal with. It isn't as easy as they thought it'd be, and it takes the four of them some time before they become a family.

This series follows this family and their extended family through life.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President by navaan

Steve does not expect to see Tony before the festivities begin in Washington. Of course, Tony wants the president to open his present as early as possible.

.... or the flag!porn story

All I Want For Christmas Is You by xmarrrvelx (cptstarkrogers)

"It's snowing." Steve didn't need to look down to know that Tony was gazing up at him with those wonderful eyes.

"Yes, it is."

"I'm borrrrreeeeed—"

Steve had to bite down on his lip to keep from laughing. "Oh, are you now?"

"Can we go ice skating?"

That certainly took Steve by surprise.

The Sea Ice: -1.8 °C (28.8 °F) by schmevil

O brave new world, that has such people in it. Always-a-girl!Cap adjusts to life after the ice.

gripping the ledge of unreason by firebrands

tony and steve have known each other for years, and finally opened a bookstore together. steve has learned to keep his feeling in check, and then tony had to go and quote poetry at him.

(Marvel Bingo 2019 fill for "book store"

Mobius Strip by dirigibleplumbing

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

A Long, Final Rest Among the Stars by nostalgicatsea

This wasn’t a cave. Nebula wasn’t Yinsen, and they weren’t captives. But he had come full circle back to Afghanistan.

He was stranded, with no sign of life anywhere and no hope of rescue. And he was going to die.

Like a Comet Streaming On by Sineala

Tony escapes Afghanistan with a functioning Iron Man suit and a perfectly normal heart. He even manages to bring Ho Yinsen home safely at his side. But he may as well have lost everything... because his wolfbrother is dead. Six months later, the Avengers find Captain America, frozen in ice, miraculously alive. Everything and everyone Steve has ever known is gone -- except his wolfsister, the recipient of the lupine version of the super-soldier serum, who was frozen in his arms. Tony has everything but his wolf. Steve has only his wolf. This is how their lives fit together.

A reread but one of my favorite AU’s. Just gorgeous. 

crush my lips to wine by meidui

Their first real kiss is under an olive tree in the summertime, as the sun sets softly. The kiss tastes like honey and wine.

Principle of the Thing by Annie D (scaramouche)

In Tony’s opinion, the only thing worse than having a crush on Steve is: having a crush on Steve while Steve won’t shut up about how great Tony is.

The Kiss with the Thousand Flavors by ralsbecket

He had a stupid grin on his face after Tony pulled away, gazing directly into his whiskey-brown eyes. Steve’s confession came out like a breath, “Tony, I think I love you.” And then he kissed him one more time, just because he could.

Or, chronicling Steve and Tony's love story through fifty kinds of kisses.

***Relativistic Heat Conduction by BlossomsintheMist

Age of Ultron-based, but not entirely canon compliant. Written for the 2013 Cap-Iron Man Reverse Big Bang. 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.

It’s been on my list to read for forever and it was just as good as I hoped it would be and utterly heartbreaking. 

****Silver Glass by BlossomsintheMist

“I would wait forever,” Tony tells him, mouth still soft and warm on his neck, “but no,” he says, “not long.” Something of a coda to Relativistic Heat Conduction.

Gorgeous coda that made me tear up.

Smooth(ie) Moves: Tony likes knowing everything, and Rhodey doesn’t like not knowing. [🗯️]

Background Character: Lila Rhodes did not expect to be in this lecture hall, she doesn’t even go to this school, so she really shouldn’t be a witness to one of the largest news stories in MIT history. The largest may be an exaggeration she’s making seeing as the news story includes her brother. [😒] [🗯️]

Under Pressure: “You failed!” Peter fails and Tony is not used to failing and so he doesn’t realise what he’s doing. [🗯️]

Darcy’s eyes follow the blond man across the room as he moves to wait for his coffee order.  

“You’re staring.” Jane says, not looking up from the small wired contraption she was fiddling with.

“Yep.” Darcy pops the ‘p’ like the word’s made of bubble gum. “What a sight.”

Jane hums not fully paying attention to Darcy.

“Thor’s off world, your loss.” Darcy says with a slurp of her coffee.

“Thor?” Jane looks up and around in confusion.

Darcy pats her hand, “Off world, dear.”

“Right. I knew that.”

Darcy pushes a barely touched panini sandwich towards Jane.

“Eat, my scientific one. It shall give you strength!”

“Eat later. Science now.”

“Eat now. Science, well, also now?” Darcy sighed dragging her eyes back to Jane. “Don’t make me take whatever the hell that thing is away from you until after you’ve finished your no longer hot sandwich thingy.”

“I dare you.” Jane stares at Darcy.

“Jane.” Darcy arches a brow.

“Fine.”

“Love you too.”

Jane takes a few bites as she fiddles with her contraption.

“Still staring.”

“He’s still a sight to behold.”

“You stare at him whenever you see him here. Go talk to him. Dazzle him with your wit.”

“Yeah. That’s likely to happen.”

“Where else are you going to run into him? The lab?”

“No.” Darcy huffed, fixing her mass of curls. “Maybe a bookshop.”

Jane scoffs.

“You never know.” Darcy takes a drawn-out sip of her nearly empty coffee mug. “Okay, but if I ran into the glory of that in a bookshop, I’d die happy. . . oh, and then I could haunt the bookshop, too. . . okay, Jane. New plan!”

As Darcy dreams out loud, a half-asleep man in a stained purple shirt and black apron sidles up to her.

“It’s your lucky day then, Dee.”

Darcy squeaks in an undignified manner, startled by Clint’s sudden appearance at her side. She glares at him, her cheeks tinted pink. Clint’s an incorrigible gossip. And he will definitely tell Nat, another incorrigible gossip. This will not end well.

“Where’d you crawl out of?”

“I’m on break.” Clint shrugs and sips his coffee.

“You know something, Barton?”

“I could use more tips.” Clint arches a brow at Darcy.

“Ha! You’re lucky you make the best coffee in the city.”

Clint chuckles and takes the empty chair at their table, partially blocking Darcy of her glorious view.

“I might know a little something-something about a certain possibly haunted book shop on 66th street. If you’re planning on taking up an additional post to haunt it.”

“Possibly haunted?” Jane asks, suddenly interested in the conversation and not believing a word he says.

“Yeah. There’s like at least two ghosts. They’re—well they’re really annoying. Funny sometimes but mostly annoying.”

Darcy and Jane share a look and Darcy snorts turning back to Clint.

“So, what are you actually saying?”

“Maybe he’ll be there. Maybe he won’t be.”

“But?”

“But I’d check it out if I were you.” Clint grabs the empty cups and crumpled wrapper that once contained Darcy’s Danish. “You two check each other out far too much for you both to not have noticed yet. It’s driving everyone insane.”

“Whatever, dude.” Darcy rolls her eyes, biting her lip to keep her smile at bay. “If this bookshop is real, it’d be worth it to run into him there. Haunted or not.”

“Whatever you say, Dee.” Clint says walking back to the front counter.

“Okay, Jane, new plan. Same plan. Whatever.”

“Darcy. No.”

“Darcy. Yes.”

“Wait, what’s the address?” Darcy looks from Jane to Clint.

‘Look at your phone.’ Clint signs from behind the counter.

Darcy looks down to her phone to see the address and several emojis light up her phone.

“Who put this here?”

“You know who.” A tired voice replies, muffled by the rows of books.

“Dude. You can’t put this here.”

“I can. And I did.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“Fix it!”

“There’s nothing to fix. It should go here.”

“No. No, it shouldn’t.”

“Guys.” The tired voice calls out.

“You cannot put Tolkien in the romance section.”

“Yeah. I can.”

“No.”

“It’s totally a romance novel. You’d know that if you ever learned to read.”

“Guys!” The voice calls out again.

“NO!”

“Yes! He goes in every section!”

“Tolkien. Does. Not.”

“Yep. Every one. That’s what everyone wants to read anyways.”

“Oh my god. It’s like arguing with a wall.”

“Guys. Knock it off.” The tired voice shouts.

A barely discernable pair of ‘sorry’s are uttered without feeling. Hushed arguing can still be heard throughout the book shop that finally stops when a book is thrown down aisle slamming into a wall with a harsh thud.

“You done yet?” Darcy asks, tapping the end of her pen against the table top.

“Does it look like I’m done?”

“No. You’re never done. Even when you are, in fact, done.”

“What?”

“You started spouting equations when you were asleep. Remember? I recorded it incase it was something import.”

“I don’t remember that.” Jane eyes Darcy. “There’s no way I did that.”

“You did.” Eric taps his head. “I remember. It was odd. All your equations where correct but they had nothing to do with each other.”

Jane huffs. “Typical.”

“Nah, just proof you need more sleep, Doc.”

“I need more sleep? Or you want to go ghost hunting?”

“Maybe both?” Darcy holds both hands up defensively. “Can’t we have both?”

“Take the rest of the day off, Darcy.” Eric chuckles grabbing the pen from her.

“Really?”

“Yes.” He gives her an incredulous look. “Go have fun with the—ghosts.”

“I don’t think they’re—”

“I don’t want to know. Just call us if you need help or are pulled into another dimension again.”

“Thanks, ma dude.” Darcy bounces on her toes and presses a quick kiss to Eric’s cheek. “And you’ll take care of Jane-y?”

“Yes. Now, go before you convince yourself not to.”

“Alright, alright. Don’t science too hard.”

Darcy bites her lip, checking her phone one more time for address to the bookshop. The entrance is warm and charming. Totally inviting. Not that there was a bookshop that hadn’t agreed with Darcy yet.

The door chimes softly as the smell of fresh coffee and paper flood her nose.

“Yeah. This is a place I could call my forever home.” Darcy mutters to herself.

Not a soul in sight. Only books and a mismatched pair of leather chairs and a purple velvet couch.

Mismatched fairy lights hang crisscrossing overhead, leading to a small stage. A framed chalkboard sign reads: Poetry reading, Tonight 8pm.

Darcy snaps a pic and sends it to Jane and Eric, found my happy place.

She wanders farther into the bookshop when she hears it.

“Was the fair palace door—”

First it sounds like a whisper.

“Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing—”

Now a little louder. The disembodied voice sounded pensive, annoyed even.

“Flowing, flowing, flowing—”

Darcy’s curiosity gets the better of her and she follows the voice, stifling a snort when she hears it curse in frustration.

She hears papers moving and an irritated sigh.

Rounding a corner, she sees the source of the voice. Not a ghost by any means, but definitely something that took her breath away. Before her perched precariously on a stool is a rather large man in a rust colored sweater, his dark hair tied messily in a bun.

“That was really beautiful.”

The man looks up and blushes. “Th-thanks. I’m trying to memorize it before tonight.”

“You’ll get it.”

“I better.” He sighs, his voice dropping low in embarrassment. “It’s supposed to be a surprise.”

“Oh, for who?” Darcy beams a toothy grin at him as his blush darkens.

He hands her his book, an anthology of Poe, open to the poem that he’s struggling with.

“It’s for my boyfriend, it’s his favorite. If I can pull it off, I’m going to ask him to move in with me, too.”

Darcy squeaks out a noise that makes him chuckle.

“I’m Bucky by the way.”

“Darcy.” She replies. “And that is possibly the sweetest thing I’ve heard all month.”

“I call bull, Bucko.”

“What the fuck now, Sam?” Bucky asks, features going neutral.

“No way.” The man referred to as Sam crosses his arms over his chest making himself look intimidating in the small book aisle. “You paid her to come in here and say that. Admit it.”

“Did not.”

“Did too.”

“Did not.”

Darcy snorts, drawing their attention. “You two don’t sound like ghosts.”

“What?” They ask in unison.

A low chuckle is heard an aisle or two over.

Darcy points in the direction of the laugh. “Now there’s your ghost.”

“Ghost?” Sam asks.

“A friend recommended this place, said it was haunted by at least two ghosts, annoying but sometimes funny. I imagine he was talking about you two. You’re not the boyfriend, are you?” Darcy asks Sam as she draws soft lines of graphite in his book.

“Oh, hell no. He wishes.” He chuckles, holding out a hand. “I’m Sam. I can only stand that man as far as I can throw him.”

Darcy takes his hand, offering her name in return.

“What the hell man? You know you can’t throw down like I can.”

“Knock it off, guys.”

“So, is he the ghost then?” Darcy snickers referring to the voice as both men roll their eyes at the phrase they’ve heard far too often.

“No.” Sam seems to pout. “You’d think so, but no.”

Darcy shrugs and hands Bucky the book back. “Here, try to memorize it in chunks, it has more rhythm that way, might be easier.”

“Thank you so much!” Bucky’s face brightens and he wraps Darcy in a quick hug, nearly crushing her. His movements startling her into laughter and cause Sam to roll his eyes.

“Why you gotta hug everyone, man. Some people don’t like it.”

“I don’t mind.” Darcy shrugs with a laugh. “Some people need kindness in physical platonic gestures.”

Sam hums, eyeing Darcy and then Bucky.

“What?” She asks confusion written across her face.

“You thinking what I’m thinking, Buck?”

It takes Bucky a moment, but he gets there. “Oh. Stevie. Yeah.”

“Who?”

“They’d be perfect together.” Sam nods, giving Darcy his sweetest smile. “You’d really love him.”

“No, seriously, who’s Steve?”

“For us to know and you to fall in love with.” Sam arches his brows at her.

“Hey, maybe then he’ll spend less time here giving us a hard time.” Bucky says, nudging Sam.

“Give the lady some room otherwise she’ll never come back here, ya crazy mutts.” Says the voice again, this time closer.

“What?” Darcy asks while Bucky shakes his head and goes back to his book. She looks to Sam who throws his hands in the air in mock defeat.

“We try and we try, Steve.” Sam says, his smirk growing into a full smile. “But we can only do so much for you, old man.”

“This is why business is erratic.” Says the voice, who Darcy is now assuming to be the Steve formerly mentioned. “You two aren’t sharing shifts anymore if you keep this up.”

“Uh oh, looks like you’ve upset the man behind the curtain.” Darcy quips, earning a fist bump from Sam and a chuckle from Bucky.

“Yeah! Good one.” Scott cheers coming around the corner, bowl of orange slices in hand. “Who’s the new girl?” he asks, offering everyone to take from the dish.

“Scott, be cool, man.” Sam shakes his head, grabbing a handful of oranges before walking out of the aisle.

“When am I not cool? I’m cool right?” Scott looks to Darcy, like she’ll back him up.

Bucky chuckles and disappears around the corner before being dragged into it.

Darcy laughs and nods, her words caught in her throat as Steve rounds the corner, rolling his eyes.

“You’re the coolest Scott.” Steve confirms, eyes tired until they fall on Darcy and light up. “Can you finish inventory in the back?”

“Can do Cap!” Scott mock salutes, shoving the large bowl into Steve’s hands as he leaves.

“Sorry about him.” He shuffles his feet a bit, suddenly shy at finding the ‘cute coffee shop girl’ in his shop. “’Bout all of them, really.”

Darcy shakes her head “You must be Steve?” Darcy smiles at the flush starting to color his cheeks.

“Yeah,” He says softly, smile as bright as she knew it’d be. “And you’re—”

“Darcy. It’s nice to meet you, finally.”

“How’d you survive the minotaurs that work here?” He asks, putting the bowl on an empty shelf, his free hand rubbing at the back of his neck.

“I know how to get around a maze with minimum casualties.” Darcy laughs, the sound feeling like a wave of sunshine rippling through his veins.

Steve can’t help but laugh with her. He should have listened to Clint and Nat and talked to her sooner.

“Would you—” He’s interrupted with a tap on the shoulder by a guy with a creepy yet happy smile holding three pizza boxes.

“We didn’t order anything.” Steve says with a confused look. “Wait. Guys? Did you order take out again?”

“No!” Come Bucky and Sam’s reply almost in unison, followed by a late and muffled ‘no’ from Scott.

“Sorry, man.”

“Smells good, though.” Darcy murmurs.

“Eh, thought I’d just say hi. This goes next door.”

“What?” Darcy takes a step closer to Steve.

“Hi. Wade Wilson.” The man says with a sigh of admiration. “Big fan.” And turns to leave.

The door hasn’t shut yet and they hear his voice again from the street.

“Fuck! I got distracted by those baby blues. What was my line? ‘Everything’s better with pizza?’ Fuck it, close enough! Can’t I do it again? Shit!”

“What the fuck was that?” Darcy asks, holding a hand over her mouth as she laughs.

“You keep the pizza, boss?” Bucky yells.

“Or are you two too busy making out already?” Sam sticks his head around the corner waggling his eyebrows.

“Why did I agree to hire you two?” Steve asks, giving Darcy an apologetic look.

“Wanna get out of here?” Darcy slips her hand into Steve’s.

“Yeah.”

“Buck!” Sam yells over his shoulder. “They’re holding hands!”

“Ha! Nat owes me twenty bucks!” Comes Bucky’s voice from behind the stacks of books.

“Coffee shop?”

“Coffee shop.” Steve agrees, his smile faulters. “Wait, do you know Clint?”

“Shit.”

Six Sentence Sunday

...from my first Happy Steve Bingo story for this year, “By Stars Benign”

--//--

Steve had no sooner finished wedging his comfortable couch— a thrift store find that Natasha had rolled her eyes at until she fell asleep on it one afternoon after a hard mission—into its proper position in his living room when there was a knock at the door. Clint, with his tools, Sam, and Lucky. “Thought we’d help you get settled,” Sam said. “Did you move everything yourself?”

Steve grinned. “Come on, you saw my apartment. I didn’t have much to move, aside from my books and Bessie.” (Bessie was the couch, after Sam said it looked like something his grandma Bessie had owned. Hadn’t stopped Sam from falling asleep on it either.)

Fandom: Marvel, Avengers Gen: Tony Stark & Steve Rogers

Summary: “You call this cooking?” It is all Tony can do not to raise his hands over his head and scream to the heavens. The Italian blood in his veins is shouting for murder. “This is atrocious. I mean -” Tony stops short as his eyes fall on the other pot still sitting almost innocently on the stove. “Are those supposed to be spaghetti?”

Tony looks around in the kitchen, at the unapologetic mess Steve has left behind. Fight or flight, he thinks. He almost regrets that he has never been the kind to back down.

- Steve tries to poison the Avengers by making dinner. Tony saves the day.

Tags: Fluff, Team as Family, Cooking, Friendship Square Fill: Learning to Cook A/N: @iron-man-bingo

Tony opens the door to the kitchen, only to be met by a wall of smoke. The cheerful greeting he had on his lips dies, quickly cut off by a coughing fit. The smoke cloud seems to be made of crushed peppercorns.

“JARVIS,” Tony manages to croak, and blesses the superiority of his own genius over whatever mediocre digital assistants other people have cooked up, for his AI understands him without further words.

The ventilation system turns on immediately, so it takes mere minutes for Tony to be able to see – and breathe – again. Only to burst out laughing. Of all things, he did not expect Captain America, golden boy and all-around quick learner to have turned Tony’s kitchen into a bombed out battlefield.

“This is not funny,” Steve mutters, looking down at the sad remains of whatever he was trying to cook in the pot in his hand.

Tony shakes his head emphatically. “No, you’re right. It’s not.”

When he walks closer, the smell of burnt something becomes almost too much to bear. The pot, that much he can see immediately, is ruined. Not even Dum-E’s boundless enthusiasm will be enough to get the congealed black mass out again.

“What where you trying to do?” Tony asks as he takes the pot from Steve’s hands and dowses the still smoking remains with water before he throws it into the trash.

“It is my turn to cook,” Steve says sheepishly. To make matters worse, he angles towards the trash can as if he contemplates getting the pot back out.

“You call this cooking?” It is all Tony can do not to raise his hands over his head and scream to the heavens. The Italian blood in his veins is shouting for murder. “This is atrocious. I mean -” Tony stops short as his eyes fall on the other pot still sitting almost innocently on the stove. “Are those supposed to be spaghetti?”

Tony’s gut heaves with the urge to either cry or laugh. If they had known about Steve’s horrid cooking skills, they need not have turned him into a supersoldier. They could have simply clad him in an apron and sent him to the Nazis as a cook. The war would have been over before it even began. Battles are not fought well on an empty stomach, and this is outright poison.

“I got distracted making salad,” Steve tries to excuse himself but falls silent when Tony glares at him.

“You get distracted by lifeless greenery and turn your back on the real-life bomb you’ve cooked up yourself?” Tony shakes his head. He wonders how someone with Steve’s metabolism managed to get through life without learning at least the basics of cooking.

Making real spaghetti is an art, Tony will be the first to admit that, but by that he means making them from scratch and with real Italian flavour to it. Every idiot can make noodles. Except for, apparently, their fearless leader.

“I didn’t have much practice,” Steve says, but it sounds so much like a threadbare excuse that Tony clicks his tongue.

“Don’t tell me any nonsense about the Great Depression,” Tony replies flippantly. He takes the second pot from the stove and pushes it right under Steve’s nose. He should face his own shame. “If you didn’t have much food, you should have learned not to waste any.”

Steve narrows his eyes at Tony, then at the ruined spaghetti. “That’s – not how it works,” he protests weakly.

In turn, Tony is occupied with poking at the noodles, grimacing when they blob together, already dissolving, horribly overcooked. Once he deigns them as unsalvageable, they follow Steve’s attempt at a sauce into the trash. The waste hurts, and that despite Tony never having lacked for anything in his life. Nothing material anyway.

He looks around in the kitchen, at the unapologetic mess Steve has left behind. Fight or flight, he thinks. Tony almost regrets that he has never been the kind to back down.

“Well,” he says and shrugs out of his suit jacket, “that’s how it works now.” He has a meeting in half an hour, but surely Pepper will understand that this is more important. They cannot leave Captain America uneducated.

“What are you doing?” Steve asks when, within only a few moments, Tony makes the kitchen his again.

He stacks all the empty packages and bags, brushes the wrangled ruins of cut vegetables remaining on the counters off into the trash can, and wipes the countertops clean before Steve even realizes what is happening.

Picking up two clean cutting boards and knives, Tony sets up two work stations. He is looking into the fridge, getting out fresh – and suitable – food, when he realizes that Steve is still not moving.

“I’m going to show you how to cook,” he says, expecting that to explain everything.

Steve, however, merely stares. “You know how to cook?”

Tony supposes he must make for an unexpected picture, standing in business clothes in front of the open fridge. They have never seen him here other than to get new coffee or sit down for take-out or food someone else has cooked. As a billionaire and constantly busy man, he thinks he should forgive Steve his doubt, but the open scepticism still hurt his pride.

“I’m half-Italian, honey,” Tony counters, rolling his eyes. Having loaded his arms full of ingredients, he pushes the fridge close with his hip. “Of course I can cook.”

While Tony arranges everything he needs around his cutting board, Steve stares. When Tony begins cutting onion and garlic with a speed that is usually reserved for flicking through blueprints, Steve stares. When Tony picks spices without hesitation and smiles at their scent, Steve stares. When Tony haggles two pots and saves Steve’s attempt at a salad at the same time, Steve stares.

To give him credit, Steve also nods at everything Tony says, and manages to cut one zucchini in the time that Tony needs for all the other vegetables. He remembers which box contains the oregano when Tony asks him to add some more to the sauce. And he knows what al dente is supposed to be, if not how to get there.

So, Steve is not hopeless, but throughout all of it he does not stop staring. He is most interested in Tony’s hands and the way he manages to not get stains on his clothes. At the end of it, he looks at Tony with utter awe.

“Here,” Tony says, holding out a spoon with sauce. “I’m not sure if it needs more pepper.”

Steve appears to realize too late that he could have taken the spoon out of Tony’s hand. Instead, he blushes as he bows down and lets Tony feed him. It is adorable enough that Tony refrains from commenting. Especially since Steve’s eyes widen and he hums contentedly.

“This is good,” Steve says once he has straightened again, the colour on his cheeks still lingering.

Tony grins. People usually expect so much from him, while constantly underestimating him. He knows how to do other things than build weapons and suits of armour. The workshop might be his favourite place these days, but that is because real life does not leave him much time to waste it with cooking.

“I don’t know why you’re surprised,” Tony says, just a hint of a challenge in his tone. Then he turns to add some more pepper, just so he does not have to look at Steve when he answers.

“You’re,” Steve begins and trails off. “Well – you.”

Tony’s grin loses some of its humour. He walks over to the cupboard to get out plates and cutlery for their always hungry group.

“When have I ever been bad at anything?” he asks, flippant, and grabs his suit jacket, putting it on like armour.

“People,” Steve answers without hesitation, but he sounds apologetic.

The thing with Steve is, Tony has resented him for far longer than he has loved him, for far longer than he has known him too. There is always friction where the two of them are involved. Their opinions on certain topics will always differ. On the other hand, they simply click. When Steve looks at him like that, Tony cannot stay put out.

“I beg to differ,” Tony drawls but does so with his face open again. From Steve’s small relieved sigh, he knows it is understood that everything is well between them. “I’m fantastic with people.”

Fighting against a smile, Steve straightens. “I mean, do you remember when you –”

“Listen to that,” Tony cuts him off, half-laughing. Everybody has a dozen examples of when Tony was less than able to solve a situation diplomatically. There is a logic to that, of course, because no one leaves nice people alone. No one buys weapons from a man without bite either. “Captain America eats my food while he’s trying to insult me.”

This sounds dangerously close to how Howard used to say, As long as you live under my roof. Laughter bursts from Steve’s lips, though, short but honest, so Tony relaxes his shoulders that have instinctively straightened.

“I’ll do the dishes?” Steve offers, still smiling.

“Not good enough,” Tony says as he pushes a stack of plates into Steve’s hands to distribute on the table. “That’s your part anyway. The cook doesn’t have to clean.”

Steve gets to setting the table without complaint and they work well together. Once everything is done, Tony asks JARVIS to inform the rest of the Avengers that dinner is ready. He turns toward the giant pots of spaghetti and sauce, ready to begin piling food on the plates, when Steve stops him with a hand on his arm.

“Thank you.”

Tony rolls his eyes but is secretly glad. People do not often thank him. “I couldn’t have let you starve,” he says but does not manage to make it sound as dismissing as he aimed for. Perhaps some honesty will not hurt him this time. “Then again, don’t thank me yet. When’s the next time you’re up to cook for the team?”

Steve frowns. “Why? Do you want to make sure you’re not home?” he asks cautiously, not exactly like he thinks that Tony regrets wasting his past hour, but also not like he understands that Tony has had fun.

“I’m going to clear my schedule, silly.” Since Steve is looking at him utterly dumbfounded, Tony elaborates. “Let’s say your Thursday evenings are mine from now on.”

“What?” Steve asks. He obviously does not get where this is going.

“Clearly you need more lessons,” Tony says, pointing at the trashcan with a mischievous grin. “I’m not going to throw you out any time soon, but I couldn’t live myself if you starved to death or poisoned yourself just because you can boil water. So lessons. On Thursdays.”

Tony thinks that the way Steve’s expression brightens is a good sign. Maybe they are really going to make this team thing work.

“I’d like that,” Steve admits quietly but the frown is not yet completely gone. “But only if you really have time.”

“Of course I do.” Tony does not. He never has, but that does not matter. “Go ahead and pick the recipe you want to try next.”

Part 1 of Not the Stories you Remember

[stevetonyweekly]

SteveTony Weekly - April 11

I’m just gonna stop saying I read a lot this week. I apparently always read a lot. Here we go. Remember to comment/kudos if you enjoy! 

**Indicates my recent favs 

~*~ 

It’s not the mountain we conquer by Darkyu (Ultimates/14k) 

Steve Rogers was known to be an honest man. And, really, he is. But even Captain America has his limits and Tony is well known for challenging them.

Steve, after trying it all, decides that he needs to try a different tactic to get Tony to quit stubbornly denying the love that they have for each other.

Luckily for Steve, he has some powerful friends in the magic field that could offer him a final solution to his problem.

crash love by s_hylor (Ultimates/21k) 

It’s just sex. Just sex between two consenting adults who don’t have feelings for each other beyond the camaraderie that comes from being on the same team.

It’s just sex. Until it isn’t. It’s not love. Until it is.

bros before by tsukinofaerii (Ultimates/8.8K) 

For a year, Steve and Tony have had a bromance of epic proportions, bonding over cheesy movies and long, dateless nights where they reminisce over love lost. But now something threatens to interfere with their precious Thursday Night Movies: a woman. Dun dun duuuuun.

there is no ‘i’ by jadedoll (MCU/20K) 

Summary: The reasons not to join the Avengers were many and varied. The problem was that when Captain America smiled at him, Tony had trouble remembering what they were.

bridge over troubled waters by vokosigan (Endgame fixit/5.8k) 

After Thanos is defeated, Tony throws a party, like one does. Steve is there, and Tony thinks it's an awesome idea to seduce him, for old times' sake. Things get... complicated.

scratching posts & love by talesofsuspense (MCU/7.6K) 

There’s a million reasons he can’t and shouldn’t get a pet, but his therapist apparently thinks they’re all just bad excuses and tells him as much.

Thicker than water by StarkatHeart (Superfamily/25k) 

 Neither of them would admit it, but blood does count for something.

When Peter Parker discovers his biological father is actually none other than Tony Stark, it's not exactly news that's well received. By either party. But they're Avengers. They're teammates. They'll just have to work through it. ...Or maybe just ignore it.

Five Times Tony Stark Misjudged Steve Rogers (and one time he didn’t) by sweatervest (MCU/5K) 

There’s plenty of weird shit to deal with after fighting aliens, like “How Does One Dispose of Alien Remains Without Poisoning the Water” and “Wow Insurance Companies Are Really Not Equipped for This,” but Tony suspects that “Steve Rogers is Actually Very Funny” and “Steve Rogers is a Stealthy Bastard” probably shouldn’t be as close to the top of the list as they are.

Timeline runs from after Captain America: The First Avenger to just after Avengers: Age of Ultron.

punch-drunk lust by jellybeanforest (A/B/O / 10k) 

The interpersonal chemistry between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark is undeniable, but both being alphas, they are not sexually compatible in the slightest. So, they come up with a method to determine who tops: a no-holds-barred wrestling match for dominance with Tony in his suit to even the odds.

Based on a Cap-IronMan Kinkmeme Prompt requesting Alpha Steve/Alpha Tony. For the Cap-IronMan Bingo 2019 Round 2 – Fist Fight.

***marty mcfly never had to deal with this by sweatervest (MCU/ 15k) 

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?

***side effects by elimymoons (Ultimates/ 29k)

"So what I'd like to propose," Tony continued on, "is for you to let me help you out a little, yeah? We'll work off some of this energy, some of this adrenaline, and you don't have to worry about hurting yourself anymore, okay?"

Steve's in a bit of trouble. Tony wants to help him out. Sexily.

breakwater by Captain_Panda (Civil War AU/ 18K) 

Captain America: Civil War AU.

When the helicopter hits the water, Captain America and the Winter Soldier both go under. Only the Winter Soldier escapes.

By the time Tony Stark and company find Steve Rogers, he's been dead for nearly an hour. Brought back from beyond the brink, Steve is a changed man.

Things will never be the same.

A breakwater is "a barrier that breaks the force of waves, as before a harbor."

***breathing at the same time by softanticipation (Endgame Fixit/47k) 

The dust settles and the stones are returned, leaving Steve more aimless than ever. In a world that doesn’t seem to need him anymore, he eventually learns that purpose goes beyond war and love is more than just a four-letter word.

Featuring two halves of a road trip, sidewalk chalk, and a man with whom Steve never expected to share a pull-out couch.

*

Steve sighs, and wants to bang his head against the cabinets. “You’re welcome too, Tony,” he says wearily. “I’m not trying to keep anyone away.”

“No,” Tony says bitterly. “You just left without telling anyone where you were going, without any way for us to contact you.”

It stings, but it’s not untrue.

falling into you by sabrecmc (MCU-canon divergent/53k) 

Tony and Steve end up as fuck buddies after the events of The Winter Soldier until Steve calls it off. When Loki's spell wipes all of Steve's memories since the last time Loki was in town, Tony decides it will be so much easier to just not tell Steve they had something of a relationship. Spoiler: It isn't.

Or, how Steve fell in love with Tony and forgot about it, and how Tony fell in love with Steve and realized it.

A thousand kisses deep by laireshi (Ultimates / 3.5k) 

Steve doesn't seem too happy when Steve Rogers of Marvel Ultimate gets transported into their universe. He seems even less happy when Tony and the new Steve get closer to each other.

The Best of Intentions by Sineala (Ultimates / 2.4k) 

Steve Rogers, Earth-1610, attempts to warn Steve Rogers, Earth-616, away from Tony Stark. Events do not proceed as planned.

***the word I use to describe by nanasekei (Ultimates/2.6k) 

“Here,” Steve says, in guise of explanation. Tony’s expression is puzzled. He takes his head off Steve’s shoulder, straightening his posture.

“Is that for me?”

“Yeah,” Steve breathes. His stomach is clenching in anxiety, which is ridiculous – it’s just a fucking ugly scarf, Tony knows so many people, he’s got to have gotten worse gifts before. “It’s, uh. A bit late.”

[stuckyfandom]

Hey everyone!

Happy New Year! This year was incredibly crazy, stressful, and brought about a lot of anxiety and in that time a lot of us spent even more time online and immersed ourselves in fandom to help us get through quarantine(s). So, here’s a look back at the past year in this fandom.

Let’s first go all the way back to January. It seems so long ago but in January of this year, the fandom went through a mini-implosion when Sebastian Stan posted this on his Instagram:

It brought about a whole slew of memes and, if nothing else, it did give some level of vindication for the fandom.

Moving on, in March of this year we had our stucky appreciation month with all of you posting many amazing work:

Then, on May 17th of this year, stucky reached a huge milestone with 50,000 fics on archive of our own 🥳:

In august of this year, we did a fandom survey where we better found out how the opinions and stats of people in the fandom and learned more about the fandom as a whole.

In September, Francis Lee, the director of the movie God’s Own Country had this to say about Steve and Bucky:

Then, on October 20th, Wikipedia put the stucky article as their featured article of the day. Furthermore, Wikipedia chooses articles to be their featured article based on this: "Featured articles are considered to be some of the best articles Wikipedia has to offer, as determined by Wikipedia's editors. They are used by editors as examples for writing other articles. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed as featured article candidates for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style, according to our featured article criteria."

On archive of our own, the number of fics (when not logged in to the site), went from 46,643 on December 31, 2019 to 51,708 fics on December 31, 2020. The number of new non-restricted fics this year was 5,065.
