an incredibly emotional phone call between steve and tony <3
ctrl-alt-deceit by @soliloquent-stark | MCU | T
“Tony, I’ve completed the background check on Steven Rogers, and there’s something big you need to know. Like, massive security-threat level big. I’m sorry, sugar. He’s bad news.” —⎊— or: A corporate espionage story told solely through excerpts from CEO Tony Stark’s inbox. Featuring romantic pining, delightful office lunches, sarcastic super-geniuses, intense investigations, revolutionary nanotechnology research, unhinged arch-nemeses, haunting ghosts from the past, and an endearing emoji overload by a witty Peter Parker. 💌
a whole universe built just from emails, this one is so fun to read and i'm always surprised just how much context fits into emails!
no happy endings by @mserm | 616 | E | MCD
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.
the saddest choose your own adventure that i have encountered, for extra pain i recommend trying to find every ending.
march 13-16th, 1981 by @welcomingdisaster | 616 | T
A collection of messages retrieved from Captain America's hotline between March 13th and March 16th, 1981, along with two excerpts from Steve's personal journal.
i love fics set around the hotline and this is such a fun take!
Astronaut AU series by @stitchyarts | AU | E
Pilots Steve and Tony meet for the first time and fall in love.
there's three fics in this collection — the first one a fic with art, second one an excplicit comic and the third one is a long comic with most of the story. the art is so incredibly beautiful and the story so unique and lovable <3
Keep Boredom at Bay by @kandisheek | MCU | E
One slip of the thumb means that Tony just texted a picture of his dick to Captain America instead of his casual hookup. Which is just as well because the guy hates him anyways. It's certainly the weirdest way he's ever managed to break the ice.
i just couldn't not add this masterpiece, it's THE sexting fic!!! i can't imagine the amount of work kandi put into this, it's so long and the story is quite plotty. there's actual dick pics so be careful reading this in public if you're not into letting others know what you're up to 👀
annex 11 by @soliloquent-stark | MCU | G
“This annex document, filed by SHIELD operatives under the designation SR-NR-CB-AS/000008-11, contains a verbatim transcript of a conversation between Anthony E. Stark (callsign Iron Man) and Steven G. Rogers (callsign Captain America) as recorded by Iron Man’s advanced artificial intelligence, J.A.R.V.I.S.” —⎊— or: Trapped together during a snowstorm in the middle of a mission, Steve attempts to soothe Tony’s growing anxiety, only to discover that Tony had the solution all along. 📄
stevetony through the eyes of poor maria hill who had to compile the mission report, she def ships it though
a tweet is worth 140 characters by athletiger, @bladeofthenebula27 , march_hyde, @starksnack | AU | M
From tumblr: "Ok but imagine it’s Steve on a date with a guy like this and Tony’s watching from across the coffee shop, live tweeting it!! And then Steve finds out that Tony Stark was tweeting about his terrible date and responds to the thread like “next time feel free to step in and save me!” And Tony’s like “next time you should just date me” and whoops, a twitter romance is born!" Well. It happened.
the whole fic is just tweets and the story is so funny and entertaining. the format looks so good and must've taken so much work!
Found Letters by @captainneverever | MCU | T
Selections from a pile of letters tied up in red and gold ribbon found in an office.
a collection of letters exchanged between steve and tony, this one got me teary eyed both times i read it 🥹
Deadlines by @ayapandagirl | AU | T
Steve and Tony embark on yet another adventure, but what kind? You decide, it's Mad Libs!
this one cracked me up so much, definitely get your pen and paper and try to make your own version!
One-Man Army | Scrapbook by @carsonian | MCU | G
This is a collection of graphic artwork I have done for the unmatched One-Man Army by Captain_Panda. All editing is mine but I have done my utmost to credit any external (free-for-use) art I have sourced. References to what quotes are pulled from the story are noted in the chapters' end notes. Pictures are pretty big so they may take a minute to load; sorry! Spoilers ahead; a lot of quotes from One-Man Army are used in the art.
unfortunately i still haven't gotten around to reading the fic this scrapbook is made for since it's 600k words, but carsonian has made the most beautiful scrapbook to accompany it, and i wanted to share it with everyone.
Run Program: DUM-E by Dr_Amuly | MCU | M
Taking care of Tony is a lot of work. Especially when you’ve only got one arm. And your code dates back to the 1980s.
a whole stevetony fic from the pov of DUM-E and everything he witnesses, it has all of the 2012 tower feels and the sweetest moments <3
