And so today marks the end of the Marvelous Rare Pairs Bingo!! I had so much fun writing fics for ships I don't usually explore as much. I had so many more fics planned, but real life got in the way :( I'll post them at some point though.
No one is surprised that SamTony has stayed as my fave rare pair, but Pepperstuckony and Biomechtech have taken up a special place in my heart. For ease at @marvelousrarepairbingo here’s all my fills <3

Summary:
How long does it take for two to fall in love with two?
--
“She deserves to be loved like this,” Tony murmured for Steve’s ears alone, looking him square in the eye.
It was such an odd statement, and yet it made perfect sense to him. He and Bucky had always known they were poly, and it looked like Tony was familiar with the feeling that sometimes overwhelmed Steve when taking in everything Bucky was—the thought that he wanted to share his feelings for Bucky with someone else who knew exactly what it meant to love Bucky, because they loved him too. Someone who knew exactly what it meant to want to share that love with another, letting it bubble up within them until it made them squirm with the desire to touch and love and hold and care for them. To care for your loved one with you, not instead of you, and relishing in the beauty of their love reflected.

Written for the @heamarvel Hallmark Challenge --- a challenge that even I, as a mod, said I wouldn’t be participating in, I’ll have you know. I am definitely not a fan of Hallmark movies, preferring to make fun of them as my mom tries to legitimately watch them (we... compromise).
BUT, along came @tehroserose with her love for this Quad, and she won me over, enticing me gently to turn to the dark side because they have poly, not just cookies.
I may or may not continue.... oh who am I kidding. Rose, you’re awesome, and you’ll likely end up with some train car s/mut before Dec 24 (when this Challenge finishes). That good enough for you? ;) ily
I did Prompt 9: An anxious bride-to-be (Character A, “bride” is non-gender assigned) throws in with broken-hearted and cynical Character B and a happily married couple for an emergency ride to Point X from Point Z.
Check out my UST-driven PepperStuckony snippet below and let me know what you think! <3
“Let’s play a game,” she begged—her, Pepper Potts, CEO of Stark Industries, reduced to begging.
There was only so much Pepper could handle, and it seemed like she’d reached her limit. That limit seemed to contain many different things:
One of which was Tony, the love of her life, engaged—arranged via Howard of all people; who even arranged marriages anymore??—to another man he didn’t even like, let alone love, sitting next to and pressed against her from knee to hip to shoulder. She was uncomfortably aware of every single part of him.
Another thing helping her reach her limit was that said love of her life had somehow lost his wallet and the small bag containing her phone and StarkPad. Not only was she bored practically to tears, but they needed to be in Ottawa yesterday if they were to make the meeting with the Prime Minister’s cabinet on time, and the only method of transportation available to them in Halifax had been the VIA Rail train—every last plane was cancelled or diverted due to the blizzard, including their Learjet, every last car rented, and Tony and Pepper both refused to get on a bus of all things.
Which left… the train.
Oh, it wasn’t so bad, if you got past the fact that the trip took on average twenty eight hours. Twenty. Eight. Hours. Tony had reminded her of that fact one too many times.
She was well aware, Tony.
Especially considering all she had to amuse herself was a collection of battered, dog-eared, creased Hallmark and Harlequin novels one of their companions had loaned her with a blush.
Ah, yes, their companions. The third of many reasons Pepper had reached her limit.
There was only so much that Pepper could handle when forced to listen to two disgustingly sweet (loving) men, who were so obviously in love with each other, prattle on and on about their Christmas plans. How it was going to be so perfect, so beautiful, so spirited, so loving, so perfect perfect perfect, and even about the history of their small town’s Christmas traditions and especially those of their large, loving, amazing, extended family.
Four times now Pepper had been reminded of everything she desired most in the world.
Steve Rogers had to be on the fifth go of the same exact topics, with that same sappy (stunning) and dopey (adorable) look on his face, as his husband, James call-me-”Bucky” Barnes went through their photo album, and shared the memories with not only his husband, but also Pepper and Tony.
But worst of all—the absolute worst thing—was the thing that pushed her over the edge: Tony looked happy. He looked wistful, as if he wanted what they had, and Pepper… Pepper wanted it too.
But she couldn’t have it. Tony was not meant for her, as much as she might wish it.
As much as she did wish it.
Thus the game.
“Truth or Dare,” Tony said immediately, his devilish grin, his roguish charm, more suited for Halloween than two days before Christmas, spelling immediate doom for Pepper—and Steve and Bucky, if she knew her Tony.
She did.
“Truth,” Steve and Bucky answered simultaneously, leaning back and relaxing into a comfortable-looking snuggle with each other on the opposite bench seat.
“Hmm,” Tony mused, his eyes as wide and observant as they’d been for the last seven hours of their trip.
Damn it, Pepper groaned internally. Tony was awesome when he got like this—both in the very bad and the very good sense of the word.
“You both find my Pepper here stunning, don’t you?” he asked, voice even and light, curious, though he sounded sure of himself, as if he already knew the answer and was simply waiting to see if they would lie to him.
Oh fuck me, Pepper wanted to say aloud, and she never swore out loud, never; instead opting to internally up the dial on her freak-out, the only outward sign of her reaction a probably rather comical widening of her eyes.
Her breath caught in her throat as the two men opposite them sent suddenly dark, appreciative glances her way.
Main pairing(s): Pepper/Tony/Steve/Bucky (endgame), Established Pepper/Tony and Steve/Bucky
Summary: Death is only the beginning...
No, Death isn't done with Tony Stark—nor the rest of the Avengers. And they aren't done with Death.
Because once they realize that Death has brought one of their own back to them, the bargaining begins for Natasha's life. But Death drives a hard bargain. She always has, and always will. Just look at Tony—he didn't come back quite right, as if Death had taken something from him in payment.
A Post-Endgame Fix-It (because screw you, Russos) where I maybe make things really angsty before I make them better. And I bring Tony and Nat back because I absolutely must. *flips the bird at the movie and walks away crying* (Currently 2/? chapters written.)
