@cap-ironman Fun Forms Friday: formatting fun and multimedia magnificence
The best thing about fanwork creation is that there are no rules to what you can create! And I fully recommend it to anyone who thinks they can't write or draw – it's a great way to take part in fandom, and learn to exercise your creative muscle.
Here, I'll recommend a few of my favourites!
Sex v. Work Performance - A Self-Study by Tony Stark by @festiveferret
The best way to test out a hypothesis is by collecting data in a spreadsheet. MCU Tony might be on to something.
Round and Round and Round by @goldtonystark
Steve,
You gave me a home. You turned this tower and this team into a home, into a family.
It doesn’t feel like home anymore.
Tony
A very angsty AA epistolary time loop fic. I have never seen this combination before – it is genius.
Gasoline by @garrideb
A comics fanvid set during the run on Iron Man when Tony was the Director of SHIELD, had his Extremis powers, and was frequently hallucinating the ghosts of his dead friends.
The song is "Gasoline" by Halsey.
I suspect Director of SHIELD (plus Avenger/Invaders) is always going to be an absolute fave comics run for me. But I can't read it every week. I can however, watch this video. Perfect song, perfect pacing. And the angsty SteveTony of it all is not remotely exaggerated in the vid. Those are the actual panels and speech bubbles. Tony really is my mentally ill computer-brained king.
no happy endings by @mserm
AI Tony's greatest fear is that he'll be replaced by flesh-and-blood Tony. What will he do to stop it?
That's for you to decide.
Yep, that's right. It's a choose your own adventure! But really unhappy – heed the warnings!
Just Give Me a Straight Answer by MissionCritical
An Ults Steve and Tony crossword puzzle
I need to give this a try soon!
And If You'll Turn in Your Packets to Page 7... by betheflame, meidui, pouringinsheets
The team is sick of Tony and Steve dancing around each other, so they decide to do something about it.
Yep, it's a multimedia MCU intervention!
Best Fansite Ever!! by @festiveferret
A blast from Tony's past gets him caught in a PR nightmare.
You're going to want to look at this on a computer screen, haha.
Remember to kudos and comment!
P.S. If that isn't enough I can offer you a reimagining of casualties of war, Tony's migraine nest, a guess the Sineala fic game, and a 616 Tony Stark with SteveTony moments mixtape. I guess I really like making stuff.

In all honesty, how it had come to this was almost a mystery to Octavia.
Now sure, she’d been present for most of the events that had led to the current situation.
It almost felt like one of those mishaps where a wrong direction somehow leads to an area you didn’t know existed, but where you kinda wanted to stay at, or like doing a math question wrong, but getting the right answer anyway.
Which, as Loona kept that all too sexy and satisfied smirk on her lips, inching closer and closer, made Octavia almost just wanted to accept her fate.
Accept that she was going to share her very first kiss with Loona, her maybe future step-sister. Her hand on another girl’s breast as the ghostly imprint of a collar stung the feathers around her neck.
