BIG BANG 2024 CREATOR SPOTLIGHTS - TEAM ALPHA

As we countdown to the close of Big Bang 2025 Writer Sign-Ups, join us in celebrating our Big Bang 2024 Teams! This weekend, our spotlight is Team Alpha. Today we are interviewing artist @laidraws who teamed up with @kandisheek, talking about the art they created for: A Hundred Visions And Revisions!

1. How long have you been creating stevetony fanworks and what drew you to the pairing? I've been creating mostly since 2021 but I did create under a different name briefly in 2012, but forgot the username to the account. I've always loved Steve and Tony's relationship dynamic so the ship was a no-brainer. I think they bring out the best in each other and how absolutely relatively useless they are without each other. How much gayer could they be?

2. Why did you join BB? I love working collaboratively with other people in creative spaces! I really enjoy seeing other people's creative processes and of course, adore the end-product. I also find immense joy in getting to create something for a friend whose work I already enjoy, and I'm not going to lie, from the summary it was pretty obvious who I was going to work with and I jumped at the chance!

3. What was your favorite thing/part of the process of about creating this piece? I really enjoyed getting to research the historical aspect, and referencing old masters' works. And I never tire of looking at Steve or Tony's face 🙂 Also, of course, it was a blast working with Kandi, who is incredible and so, so talented.

4. What do you hope people connect with or take away from this BB piece? I just hope that people like the work as much as I liked working on it. And I hope they think the art and fic complement each other well!

5. What art in your portfolio are you most proud of? This pastiche/master copy honestly taught me so much, I'm really proud of it!

6. If viewers like this, what other works of yours should they check out? They might like: Mirrors a Still Sky is a painting I made for a fic I wrote of the same title, and I wanted it to look like a romance novel! This one was for RBB and has an accompanying fic by ABrighterDarkness. I wanted to capture the lovely dreaminess of the fic! And finally… This one is my most popular piece, which was a lovely surprise! It was for bingo, and honestly I loved working on the reflections in their eyes so much.

7. Tell us about a work you are currently creating or hoping to publish soon that we should get excited for. I'm actually taking a break from fandom creation for exceedingly boring real-life reasons, but I'm allowing myself to work on my Marvel Trumps Hate winning bid from last year as an exception! That one is SteveTony and I'm hoping to be done with it soon, so be on the lookout!

Collaborating with other creators really is so fun! Thanks, Laidraws! Read A Hundred Visions And Revisions, view Lai's art post here, and stay tuned for Team Alpha's official BB post tomorrow!

BIG BANG 2024 CREATOR SPOTLIGHTS - TEAM ALPHA

As we countdown to the close of Big Bang 2025 Writer Sign-Ups, join us in celebrating our Big Bang 2024 Teams! This weekend, our spotlight is Team Alpha. Today we are interviewing writer @kandisheek who teamed up with @laidraws, talking about: A Hundred Visions And Revisions!

1. How long have you been creating stevetony fanworks and what drew you to the pairing? I saw Infinity War in 2018, went on to binge the entire MCU in order to understand the context and instantly fell in love with Stony. I'd been in a bit of writing slump for a while, so later that year, when I saw that Kinktober was happening, I decided to jump back into fanfic writing. And the rest is history!

2. Why did you join BB? Cap-IM events have become a major part of my fandom life over the years, and I've had a blast with them every single time. Last year was my first BB, and I'm already signed up to do it all over again this year!

3. What was your favorite thing/part of the process of about creating this piece? The poetry for sure. I've always loved to write poems in my spare time, so getting to do it for a fanfic was super fun. Especially because in the fic Steve and Tony mostly use their poetry to diss each other.

4. What do you hope people connect with or take away from this BB piece? I know it's a very niche topic, but I've always been fascinated by Galileo Galilei, his discoveries and his trial, which is why I wrote this fic in the first place. So I hope that it might be an incentive to learn more about this particular time in history.

5. What fic/art in your portfolio are you most proud of? The easy answer would be Keep Boredom At Bay and the entire Dick Pic Verse - it has definitely shaped my fandom experience, and writing it was some of the most fun I've had ever since I started my writing journey.

6. If readers/viewers like this, what other works of yours should they check out? Honestly, this fic is so far outside my usual MO that it's hard to recommend others like it. So instead, here are some other AUs that I've written: Some More Equal Than Others (Steve goes undercover to rescue supernatural wildlife from an illegal zoo and meets Tony the chimera) Sharing The Drink They Call Loneliness (Married Tony comes to terms with being gay, feat. pianist Steve) Gift of Consequence (Steve needs to save his sick mother, and his last resort is stealing from dragon Tony)

7. Tell us about a work you are currently creating or hoping to publish soon that we should get excited for. Kinktober is around the corner, and I've got a lot of stuff planned for this year, so watch out for that!

We're so glad you enjoyed doing BB so much, Kandisheek! Read A Hundred Visions And Revisions, view the art pieces, and stay tuned for Laidraw's interview tomorrow!

My piece for the @911fanworksfestival! For @buckslasagna

This is a time travel AU in which Buck and Eddie find themselves stuck in ancient Rome, so naturally they have to take a moment to enjoy it.

[laidraws]

For Steve's birthday I just wanted him to have fun at the beach. Enjoy!

My piece for @transistorpoweredheart-zine :)

Based on Avengers (2013) by Hickman

Tell me a piece of your history

That you're proud to call your own

Speak in words you picked up

As you walked through life alone

We used to swim in your stories

And be pulled down by their tide

Choking on the words

And drowning with no air in sight

* * *

Tell me a piece of your history

That you've never said out loud

Pull the rug beneath my feet

And shake me to the ground

Wrap me around your fingers

Break the silence open wide

Before it seeps into my ears

And fills me up from the inside

[laidraws]

Ok but your art skills are PHENOMENAL!!!! Like, your anatomy and rendering? Peak

Aw thank you!! That's so kind of you to say ❤️❤️

[dragonpyre]

My piece for the @911fanworksfestival! My Giftee is @laidraws who requested historical au. Buck and Eddie definitely have sexually charged spars together. Often.

[laidraws]

OMG thank you so much!! This is so beautiful. I LOVE that scene so much, the addition of the slut strand is so necessary. The framing of Buck and that angle. PEAK. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Cap-IM Reverse Big Bang 2025: Team Breakout

Title: Homosexual Tendencies Artist: ABrighterDarkness Writer: kianisabitch Universe: MCU Rating: Explicit Work Warnings: non descriptive self-harm Fic Wordcount: 10221 words Summary:

The very first time Steve Rogers saw two men kiss, two twenty somethings at a coffee shop he was frequenting for an Avenger's Community outreach appearance, he excused himself to the bathroom, got down on his knees right there on the cracked linoleum floor of the farthest stall to the left and vomited up his entire breakfast on the spot. He gagged over the public toilet, vomiting until he was only able to bring up bile mixed with little specks of blood, as he tried desperately to screw his eyes shut tightly- refusing to let any tears fall. OR Tony thinks Steve is a homophobe, but it turns out he really just hates himself.

Cap-IM Reverse Big Bang 2025: Team Avenger

Title: Time Stood Still Artist: Laidraws Writer: ABrighterDarkness Universe: MCU Rating: T Fic Wordcount: 13463 Summary:

“What would you do if you didn’t have to return?” Tony’s eyes were closed against the late-Summer sun, far more relaxed than he could recall ever being as they laid in the deep grass beneath the trees. The easy contentment, the relaxation was a common thread running through his time in this strange place. Even still, he had to smile. That question, yet again.
