Hi, I find a lot of comfort in reading your fics. Are there any fics or books that you find comfort in?

Oh, gosh, so many! I re-read a lot of @sineala's fics, and @festiveferret, @betheflame, @avengersnewb, @no-gorms and a bunch of others. Never Too Late for Love...like half the hits have to be me, I swear. And the one where Tony forgets he's Iron Man. And the one where Steve accidentally paints Tony in a porn mag. And Two-Point Perspective! . So good. Basically, anything from these authors is going to be amazing. There's a few niche fics that I love, too, like one with pre-serum Steve set back in the day with Tony being a Dom and it's a WIP by @ms-meredith-milton that I'm sort of obsessed with. Even if it never finishes, it's amazing as is. You can check my bookmarks on Ao3 for a few other favorites. I'm bad at remembering titles, but we are so blessed in this fandom.

What's a book?

steve rogers/tony stark. rated g. magazine spread + 300 word article. vaguely inspired by red, white, & royal blue.

for the @tstarksbingospectacular // square: "stark tower"

article written out under the cut!

[Ever since the terrifying and unexpected Battle of New York, questions have arisen about the team dynamics of the newly-formed Avengers. Despite leadership under America's sweetheart, Steve Rogers, reports have suggested that the team isn't cooperating with each other nearly as well off the battlefield as on.

Sources attending Saturday's charity fundraiser, hosted at Stark Tower, have revealed that tensions were high between teammates Iron Man and Captain America, resulting in a disastrous argument that threatened the rest of the evening's festivities as well as their chances of collecting enough funds to cover the post-Battle clean-up and repairs to the city.

Multiple witnesses stated that interactions between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark had been marked with hostility for the duration of the event, culminating in the pair eventually getting physical with each other and knocking over the $10,000 custom cake designed and ordered by Ms. Pepper Potts to celebrate the Avengers' victory over the Chitauri.

This is certainly not the first time that Stark has caused a scene at a black-tie event, and while his drunk and disorderly antics are, at this point, expected, it is surprising to note that Rogers had allegedly contributed as much to the fight himself. America's golden boy was seen pushing and shoving Stark moments before they both tumbled into the buffet table. Not only was the celebratory cake ruined, but two bottles of champagne, a chocolate fountain, and a multiple platters of hors d'oeuvres had fallen alongside them.

As Rogers is the only Avenger to have officially moved into Stark Tower as of yet, their clashing personalities are bound to make living arrangements interesting. It is unclear, however, what the future of the team will look like, especially with Rogers and Stark reportedly disagreeing on leadership styles, but one thing seems certain: if they are ever going to win another battle, they first need to stop fighting each other.]

Sokovia Accords

The Sokovia Accords are a set of legal documents designed to regulate the activities of enhanced individuals, specifically those who work for either government agencies such as S.H.I.E.L.D. or for private organizations such as the Avengers. Established by the United Nations and ratified by 117 nations, the accords serve as a "middle point" between the Avengers' desire to secure world peace and the international community's concern over the repercussions of the Avengers' actions.

 TIL the Marvel Wiki actually laid some of the main parts of this ugly boi out.

The currently known regulations established by the Sokovia Accords include:

Any enhanced individuals who agree to sign must register with the United Nations and provide biometric data such as fingerprints and DNA samples.

Any enhanced individuals who sign are prohibited from taking action in any country other than their own, unless they are first given clearance by either that country’s government or by a United Nations subcommittee.

Any enhanced individuals who do not sign will not be allowed to take part in any police, military, or espionage activities, or to otherwise participate in any national or international conflict, even in their own country.

Any enhanced individuals who use their powers to break the law (including those who take part in extralegal vigilante activities), or are otherwise deemed to be a threat to the safety of the general public, may be detained indefinitely without trial.

The use of technology to bestow individuals with innate superhuman capabilities is strictly regulated, as is the use and distribution of highly advanced technology (such as Asgardian and Chitauri weaponry).  

The Avengers will no longer be a private organization and will operate under the supervision of the United Nations.

Those with secret identities must reveal their legal names and true identities to the United Nations.

Those with innate powers must submit to a power analysis, which will categorize their threat level and determine potential health risks.

Those with innate powers must also wear tracking bracelets at all times.

Governments are forbidden from deploying enhanced individuals outside of their own national borders, unless those individuals are given clearance as described above. The same rule also applies to non-government organizations that operate on a global scale (including S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers).

As a corollary, they will not be allowed to participate in any active missions undertaken by private or governmental law enforcement/military/intelligence organizations (such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers).

If an enhanced individual violates the Accords, or obstructs the actions of those enforcing the Accords, they may likewise be arrested and detained indefinitely without trial.

The creation of self-aware artificial intelligences is completely prohibited.

For the purposes of the Accords, an “enhanced individual” is defined as any person, human or otherwise, with superhuman capabilities. This includes individuals whose powers are an innate function of their biology as well as individuals who utilize highly advanced technology to grant themselves superhuman capabilities. However, individuals with advanced prostheses do not seem to be considered “enhanced”, even if their prostheses give them capabilities beyond those of ordinary humans.

…

So that last one was what they threw in there in order to avoid having to fight Tony Stark’s legal team, I guess…

My comic loving ass is absolutely horrified by the first one (I mean, these are all horrific, don’t get me wrong, especially the one that steamrolls over the right to Due Process, that’s terrifying) about DNA samples because trust me, if 30 years of reading comics has taught me anything it’s that the government getting a hold of the DNA of superheroes NEVER ends well. 

The interesting thing here is that the country who sponsors an Accord, in this case, Wakanda, isn’t necessarily the country who wrote it. If Thaddeus Ross, who was running an American military funded and approved program to recreate Erskine’s super soldier program suggested that first provision then that’s a huge red flag, right there. Wonder if this will be brought up in Avengers 4? Wonder if this is the way in which Ross might become Red Hulk in the MCU? I mean, the MCU pretty much has a full Thunderbolts line-up at present, especially with the addition of Ghost from the recent Ant-Man and the Wasp, so the creation of Red Hulk is looking more and more likely.

I always thought bringing Ross back for CACW was a weird choice, especially as him lecturing ANYBODY on collateral damage is hypocritical of him *cough*BrazilandHarlem*cough*. Now I’m starting to believe his inclusion was very much intentional.

Especially considering that when the Russos were recently asked in an interview who else survived the snap and who didn’t, they stated that Ross was one of the ones who would be ‘too spoilery to say’.

Captain America/Iron Man: Invasion Force

Hi, internet! I’d like to tell you the story of how I discovered a glorious piece of new 616 Steve/Tony canon that has somehow remained unknown to us for twenty-four years! A lost treasure! And it’s great.

So for reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture, a couple days ago I was looking for digital versions of the recent Captain America/Iron Man miniseries. (Yes, I legally own it in issues, trade, and digitally. I own it many times.) And those came up, all right. But what also came up was something I’d literally never heard of, called Captain America/Iron Man: Invasion Force. And I thought this was weird because, as a Steve/Tony fan, I figured I’d heard of all the Steve/Tony miniseries there were, right? But this was new. This was a four-issue team-up miniseries I had never even heard of and here it was on the internet. I’m not going to link it, but if you like to, um, read comics online, you know what I mean, right?

The upload dates on this thing were this April, but the miniseries was dated 1998. At this point I was wondering how in the world there was a Volume 3 Steve/Tony team-up I’d never heard of. And then I clicked on it and it was even weirder, because it was a bunch of tiny blurry lo-res screenshots of a comic being displayed panel by panel in a program I didn’t recognize. But it definitely looked like 1998-era Steve & Tony art; it was clearly a legit comic.

We have so very, very few actual Steve/Tony team-up comics and so finding a brand new one that none of us had ever heard of before was a treat. And it’s actually a fun read! This is delightful!

So I did some digging (and also Magic did some digging) and it turns out that this is from a long-defunct free digital comics line that Marvel ran from 1996 to 2000, consisting of what they called Marvel CyberComics, which is the most 1996 name I have ever heard. I hear modem dial-up noises in my head when I read that. CyberComics were new original comics for a wide variety of superheroes that were basically comics that had been lightly animated as Shockwave files, with some sound effects.

Eventually Marvel took those down from their website and I gather that they don’t have the source files anymore, but, according to a 2011 CBR article, the guy who wrote a lot of them, D. G. Chichester, did in fact still have the source files, and in 2011 he put the Cap/IM one up on YouTube (1, 2, 3, 4). And from then on they languished in obscurity – as of yesterday I think Part 4 had something like 24 views – and then a couple months ago someone screenshot all of them, and here we are.

(They are hard to read, especially on the YouTube version – you can zoom in a whole lot on the RCO screenshots – but the YouTube version preserves the animation, so it’s more fun in that respect. The first video doesn’t have sound, but the rest do.)

Captain America/Iron Man: Invasion Force is pretty fun. 1998 is one of my very favorite time periods for Steve & Tony and I am so excited that there is an entire brand-new team-up miniseries from that era of them being friends and punching aliens together. They have some nice banter and it’s a fun team-up and they have each other’s backs the whole way through and the ending is nice and happy and it’s a fun read and I am just so happy that there is new Steve & Tony content from my favorite era. It is a shiny new present for all of us.

Also, if you are a Steve/Tony fan, you will probably enjoy the beginning of the first issue a whole lot.

We open with Tony and the beautiful woman he has taken on his yacht, because of course he has a yacht. They are having a great time together and are clearly interested in having an even better time in the near future, at which point Steve shows up at Tony’s yacht to interrupt his hot date and tell him that they have to go meet aliens. You know, the plot. So Tony tells his date to head belowdecks and get started without him, although at this point it is pretty obvious he won’t be continuing the activity he had planned.

And then Steve apologizes for ruining his date, and the conversation goes like this:

STEVE: Sorry for the visit, Stark. TONY: No, you’re not. You live for this “duty calls” routine, Captain America. I hope you’re not waiting for me to salute. STEVE: I expect you’re saving that for the young lady. TONY: I’ll make you a copy of the video. What’s this about, soldier?

So I’m reading along, going, okay, okay, Steve’s apologizing, that’s sweet. Tony’s having some snarky banter. And then Steve is MAKING A DIRTY JOKE ABOUT TONY’S BONER???? And in response, Tony is OFFERING TO MAKE HIM A SEX TAPE???????

Like, uh. None of that went where I expected it to go. At all.

And, hey, now we can all enjoy the knowledge that Steve is the kind of guy who likes to make dirty jokes about Tony’s dick, and now 616 can join Ults in “list of comics universes where Tony canonically offers a sex tape of himself to Steve.” Just bros being bros, uh, watching each other’s sex tapes. These guys, internet. I can’t even.

I just. Yeah. I’m going to need to contemplate this.

And, honestly, the rest of it is pretty good, too! They team up! They defeat the bad guys! They each have a fun interior monologue about their motivations, and the end is very sweet, as Steve thanks Tony for his help and Tony, uh, offers to buy him a desert island.

Anyway, Invasion Force here is a fun Steve & Tony team-up with some excellent banter, friendship, and fighting aliens together. It is a lost comic from one of my personal favorite Avengers eras, and also it contains some fun commentary on Tony’s personal life. I am so glad that we have now refound it and all of Steve/Tony fandom can enjoy it.
