Cap-IM Rec Week 2021 (Wed) - AU
What-If Wednesday, July 21: Time to rec some AUs for @cap-ironman Rec Week!
Enjoy some alternate universe recs :)
Running Through My Head by @elwenyere
Developing a crush on Steve Rogers is the absolute last problem Tony Stark expected to have when they got thrown together as roommates for their senior year of college. Running into his horrible ex Tiberius Stone, however, was a problem with which Tony was far too familiar.
Must Love Dogs by softanticipation
Steve doesn’t need to know much about Tony Stark to want to keep sleeping with him. In fact, he’d prefer to keep it that way.
But when Tony meets Steve’s dog and gets unexpectedly attached, Steve has some decisions to make regarding his four-legged best friend and the guy he might know better than he thinks.
Something to Talk About by Mireille
The art room next to the auto shop has been empty since Tony started teaching here. That’s about to change.
The Fake Prince and the Cat by @captainneverever
Steve is sent in place of Prince Brock to marry the libertine Tony Stark. It’s better than he thought it would be, plus he makes friends with a cat.
I’m Your Biggest Fan(tasy) by BladeoftheNebula
Tony can’t believe his luck when he scores a night with Captain America after meeting him in a bar.
Being Cap’s biggest fan, however, might make things complicated…
Not Just Anybody by tictactoews
Staying mad at Tony Stark is hard work if your name is Steve Rogers.
where the heart is by @omg-just-peachy
Steve is bringing Tony home to meet his mom for spring break, and he’s having a lot of feelings about it.
Steve + drunk texting = enthusiastic billionaire
Or how Steve found himself possibly engaged to a man named Tony he’s never met.
Having You in My Arms is Everything by @fuzzyhamish
the groundwork of disapprobation by haemodye
Steve and Tony don’t touch skin to skin until their first handshake at Bethesda Fountain. There, in front of Bruce and SHIELD and everyone, they discover that they’re soulmates.
Neither of them quite know how to feel about this development.
Stark’s Moving Castle by @oluka
Steve has the great misfortune of being the eldest son of the family, destined to fail miserably should he ever leave home to seek his fate. But when he unwittingly attracts the ire of the Witch of the Waste, Steve finds himself under a horrid spell that transforms him into a small and fragile man. His only chance at breaking the curse lies in the ever-moving castle in the hills: the Wizard Stark’s castle. To untangle the enchantment, Steve must handle the heartless Stark, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch of the Waste head-on. Along the way, he discovers that there’s far more to Stark–and himself–than first meets the eye.
The Best Laid Plans by @eachxnn
Antonia finds out she is not that good at matchmaking, should probably listen to what her heart is trying to tell her, and the enigma that is Natasha Romanov intrigues everyone.
Or the Jane Austen’s Emma AU.
We Two, How Long We Were Fool’d by glassessay
Steve Rogers comes into the world as unblemished as his mother. When Anthony Stark is born, his soulmark is an obvious pattern of ink across his tiny chest.
It only takes a century, two names, and a shared love of Walt Whitman for them to find each other.
Half Agony, Half Hope by @no-gorms
Following the Battle of New York, the Avengers Initiative kicks into high gear under the leadership of Steve Rogers, i.e. Captain America. Tony didn’t mean to become part of this initiative, but it makes sense to sign on due to his experience with SHIELD and Rhodey’s War Machine suits.
The upside: Tony’s tech can be used in a widespread and meaningful way to help protect people. The downside: the last time Tony saw Steve, he’d rejected Steve’s proposal of marriage and broke his heart, leading to almost ten years of the two having no contact whatsoever. Until now.
most ardently by @quiditch
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a genius playboy in possession of the world’s largest tech conglomerate must be in want of a skinny little artist with an attitude problem.
start a fight (‘cause i need to feel something) by @areiton
Steve has a never met a fight he didn’t like, and it’s awful for Tony’s blood pressure. (WIP)
Like How Your Heart Works: “I don’t mind waiting for my first kiss. I just hope that when it happens, it’ll be important. And I want it to be with someone who really wants my first kiss too.”
(Or: the one where Tony is pining, Steve takes the long way around to realizing he’s in love, and there’s clothes sharing.)
Warmest and Brightest: It’s Christmas Eve, and Tony’s supposed to be getting decorations ready for his and Rhodey’s Christmas bash in their new apartment. Instead, he’s stuck in an elevator with the hot guy from 12A Steve, who doesn’t seem to be in much of a festive mood.
It turns out to be a bit of a holiday miracle.
Hope you guys enjoy the recs, and stay tuned for more! Here is my tag for previous years’ rec lists.
