A Hundred Visions And Revisions by KandiSheek (M for fic/T for art, MCU, 23,737 words) ★ Art by Laidraws
In the age of Galilei's discoveries, Tony is fascinated by the prospect of a larger universe. Steve is one of the conservatives trying to keep the old world view alive. Their new favorite subject is dragging each other's opinions through the mud in their poems, and Tony is more than happy to feed into this feud.
Because he hates Rogers. Hates his poetry, his sharp wit, his handsome smile, his – Oh, wait.

a shell without a star by Kiyaar (E for fic/G for art, 616, 39,486 words) ★ Art by wingheads ★ Art by dirigibleplumbing
Hydra has ruined everything Steve has ever built, starting with Tony and Sharon – and he has the photographic evidence to prove it. Tony has survived him, at high physical cost, and inexplicably refuses to leave Steve’s side. Every day they try to outrun the damage and every day Hydra’s long shadow is fast at their heels.
A canon-divergent post-Secret Empire road trip, in which no one escapes unscathed.

The Ghost and The Machine by starvels (E for fic/M for art, 616, 43,112 words) ★ Art by sheepl
The nature of creation is to change.
When Tony first creates an AI copy of himself, he does it on a time crunch, without thinking about the code's longevity. Wrenched awake from his coma following Secret Empire, Tony hacks Rhodey back to life and comes face to his own digital face. A face that has been walking around, building a life separate from Tony’s, saving the world, saving Steve.
Steve too, has been wrenched awake. He’s driving westward, letting the bleeding horizon drip into ink blots over the spots of his life Hydra has ruined. And when Tony’s AI shows up on the road, Steve can’t help reaching out to touch the blue outlines of that familiar, yet not-familiar face.
TS-BE-V3.27 flits across the country between both of them, and doesn’t belong to either of them.
No matter what the admin credentials say.

Parent Trap by Neverever (T for fic/T for art, MCU, 20,523 words) ★ Art by snowzapped
Peter and Harley meet up at camp and find out that their twins. They swap places to see what their other father is like and then there is a crisis that must be resolved. Tony and Steve haven't seen each other for ten years until now. What will happen?
Parent Trap AU, just like it says on the tin.
