Thank you to everyone who has nominated and voted for their favorite Steve/Tony moments! And now for the results of the polls, here are the winning moments in the Best of Steve/Tony, 2008-2018!
Best in Comics: "He loved you." — Civil War II: The Oath
“I know every thought he had about you, for instance. He loved you. He loved you, and he admired you. Even when you fought.”
It was a close race in the comics category, but angst has ultimately won over fluff with Civil War II: The Oath in first place!
We’d like to give an honorable mention to the runner up: the reconciliation and hug in Avengers Prime #5: “I’m not half as good at anything as I am when I'm doing it next to you.”
Best in Cinema: "I will miss you." — Avengers: Age of Ultron
“I will miss you, Tony.”
“Yeah?”
We weren’t sure how things would turn out in the cinema category, but the goodbye scene at the compound in Avengers: Age of Ultron took the lead as everyone’s favorite MCU moment!
Best in Animation: The Lift and Spin Reunion — Avengers Assemble (4.17): Beyond
“Well, I guess we should—”
“I don't believe it!”
“Woah, okay. All right. All right.”
“Iron Man in the flesh!”
It was an easy win in the animated category — forty percent of you decided that the already iconic Lift and Spin hug in Avengers Assemble (4.17): Beyond was your favorite moment! Congratulations to the happily reunited Superhusbands!
Best in Gaming: "[I'm] lucky to have [you] around." — Avengers Academy: Armor Wars Event
“All that matters is that I'm perfect, and you're lucky to have me around.”
“I don't know if I agree with the first part, but I guess I can agree with the second.”
Last but not least in the gaming category, Iron Captain America from Avengers Academy’s Armor Wars Event took the win! Who could resist the combination of playful bantering (flirting), the universal constant of Tony making armor for Steve, and Steve acknowledging how lucky he is to have Tony around?
We hope you had fun voting and reliving your favorite Steve/Tony moments! Want more slashy moments? Check out the Cap-IronMan Slashy Moments List archives, where we’ll continue updating with more comics panels, and over the upcoming months, we’ll introduce slashy scenes from across the multiverse to the archives. We’re so excited to share even more Steve/Tony moments with the fandom!
For the 10 years of Cap-IM celebration, Faite hosted this mini-challenge for writers to write fics for artists’ arts and artists to art for writers’ fics! It’s a free-for-all, and I took it upon myself to write for all the artists, and I did!
(I actually didn’t. There are two lovely, talented artists I didn’t write for. One is SirSapling who is my long time collaborator and knows he just needs to wave a doodle or an hc in front of me and I’ll write 50k for it. The other is musicalluna who I’m lucky enough to say is my RBB partner! So I’m already writing for her amazing art :D)
Here’s a full list. Each ficlet is a chapter so you can also just click through here and read them all. Please go look at all these artists’ wonderful work and show them some love!
1) "Morning" for @maniibear ART HERE
Steve is a morning person; Tony is a night owl.
2) "Hair" for @kelslk ART HERE
Steve really, really wants to pet Tony's hair.
3) "Home Run" for @hellogarbagetime ART HERE
With the Dodgers in LA, Steve needs a new baseball team.
4) "Negative Space" for @salablemystic ART HERE -
Steve enjoys painting the Iron Man armour. His team seems to think there's something funny about that.
5) "3 am" for @mrsgingles ART HERE
They fell in love at 3 am, one day at a time.
6) "Wings" for @crumbles-of-reality ART HERE
It started as an itch.
7) “Air Support” for @queendophne ART HERE
Sometimes Cap needs to call in a little extra support.
I also received this unbelievably lovely piece from Faite ( @hellogarbagetime ) for my fic, Second Kiss. I love it so much!!
This was an awesome challenge. Thank you to everyone who participated! <3
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Comment Bingo! Even if you didn't finish your card, we want to congratulate everyone who took the initiative to join and started filling out their cards, because we know you've made someone's day with your feedback!

And with that, our Cap-IronMan and MCU Ten Year Anniversaries are officially over! We want to thank everyone again for their enthusiasm and participation during the past few months. We couldn't have done this without you, and we hope to see you all again for our future celebrations!
Congratulations to everyone who has joined and completed the Fairy Tale Bingo — we've received 16 completed cards (and one black-out!) and over 100 fills by the end of the challenge!
While the challenge deadline and round-up has passed, everybody who has a card is still more than welcome to continue creating works and sharing them on our Dreamwidth or LiveJournalcommunity, in the AO3 collection, or by posting it on Tumblr with the #capimanniversarybingotag until May 31.

For our anniversary, we want to make sure the creators who make the community so great get some love!
Inspired by Yuletide's Comment Bingo, we would like to invite all members of the community to join the Cap-IronMan Comment Bingo for our anniversary celebrations.
The goal? Leave comments on more Steve/Tony works!
No matter if you’re new to fandom or have been creating and commenting for years, this is another opportunity for you to give Steve/Tony creators a big hug.
READ THE FULL GUIDELINES AND REQUEST YOUR CARD HERE
To quote the original ship_manifesto community, a ship manifesto is a "a public declaration of fannish love for a particular pairing or ship". The idea was to provide "readers with a detailed listing of pairings, insight into the characters behind the pairings, and contextual understanding of what makes the pairing work" and "provide newcomers with a starting point for further exploration."
The Steve/Tony Multiverse Ship Manifesto
In July, it will be ten years since the original Captain America/Iron Man (Marvel Comics) Ship Manifesto was posted: an essay and overview of the Steve/Tony ship that aided the start of our fandom and the still active Steve/Tony community.
Much has transpired during those ten year in Marvel Comics canon, the Marvel multiverse, and in the Steve/Tony fandom. But not least of all, the MCU has given shippers an accessible and immensely popular Steve/Tony universe, and brought in so many new members to our community in the past decade.
This fandom and community have been spreading the Steve/Tony love for over a decade, and now we want you to help us keep it going by joining us in creating a new manifesto, to declare why we love this ship across canons and the Marvel multiverse.
Want to spread the Steve/Tony love? Want to give new people a starting point and tell people why you ship it?
Join the Ship Manifesto discussion.
Comment in the post above with your recs, meta, essays, round-ups — anything you've done already to declare your love for Steve/Tony! We want to gather all links you want to share.
