cap_ironman | Friday Fanwork Recs: Best of 2017 & Noir

It’s Friday, which means rec time! Each week, we're offering you the chance to submit your favourite fics and other fanworks for our two themes. Self-recs are welcome and of course you can still make new recs once Friday has passed!

This week, theme #1 is ‘BEST OF 2017’ (suggested by lazywriter7 on imzy) -- The classics are classics for a reason, but what about the fresh new content that makes you want to hug your screen? What fics and art that you adored have been posted this year so far?

Theme #2 is 'NOIR' -- What's not to love about Marvel in a Noir setting? Adventuring gentleman Tony Stark hunting for treasures with clandestine meetings with Captain America inbetween? Beanpole Steve Rogers has no greater wish than accompany the great Tony Stark and draw art for Marvels Magazine?

Please use the following format for your recs (you can just copy & paste this):

Universe: Noir
Relationship(s): Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Warnings: N/A
Author summary:
Steve Rogers knew, knows, will know Tony Stark, the adventurer, the scientist, the futurist. And Tony Stark - well, he's not really fond of the idea of this Captain America fellow being assigned to tag along as he, Rhodey, Pepper, and Jarvis race to find a powerful relic before the Nazis do, but he just has to go with it. What he doesn't - and can't - realize is how deeply Cap is tied into his life in ways he can barely even understand.
Comment: Beautifully written, made me cry but had such a fantastic/ happy ending.

Title: Tony Stark and the Hidden Hercules: A Marvels War Book

Universe: Noir
Relationship(s): Steve/Tony, Bucky/Natasha, Pepper/Rhodey
Warnings: none
Author summary: One of Fury’s operatives is lost somewhere in Nazi occupied France and the last information he managed to sent is worrying. Tony Stark, famous adventurer, genius inventor, and Fury’s reluctant one man special ops commando is called in to make sure the Germans don’t get their hands on the serum that could decide the war. But for Tony this is more than just a simple adventure and it turns out there’s more to it all than even he could have foreseen.

Or: The story where Bucky needs Tony Stark to save Steve, although Bucky is not the one who is crazy about Marvels and the man whose adventures made the magazine great, and Tony comes because he has a score to settle. Or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself right until he’s swept up by the mystery of it all.

Comment: My favorite Noir for epic action and spies.
