50 Years of Cap and Iron Man: the meme

The Avengers had their 50th anniversary back in September. As you're probably aware, Cap was not a founding member, but joined the team in Avengers v1 #4, which was published in March of 1964. Which means that we're about to celebrate 50 years of Steve and Tony goodness--and badness, oh comics!--starting with a meme style fic and art challenge which will remain open for the next few months.

What's a (kink)meme?
Example.

Why Dreamwidth?
DW still supports subjects for comments, and has a larger max character limit than LJ. Tumblr is simply hopeless for this kind of thing.

Anon?
Allowed, not required (with one exception, see prompts**). If you don't have a DW account, you can always comment as anon but sign your username.

Prompts?
Must be Steve/Tony or Steve and Tony as focal characters. Other characters are permitted as side characters. Side pairings permitted, but we're looking for endgame Stony. S/T threesomes and moresomes permitted. Gen permitted. Fic, art, graphics, vids, fan soundtracks are permitted media. Prompting for a specific media is permitted; if no media is listed then "any" is assumed.

**Special rule for holiday gift exchange participants! If there is a prompt you received as part of your gift assignment which you want to see but do not intend to submit for the exchange, you may leave the prompt here for the community to fill. To preserve the secrecy of the exchange, you MUST leave bonus holiday prompts as anonymous.

Prompt format
In the comment subject please include:(media type), (additional pairing info), (basic premise or tags).

In the comment itself, write out your prompt. Include applicable warnings.

Fills?
There is no "claiming" of prompts. If you see something you like, simply write/draw/make it and post. Prompts may have multiple fills. You may fill your own prompt.

Fill format
Fills must be contained in nested comments beneath the appropriate prompt. In other words, to begin a new fill for a prompt, go to the comment which contains the prompt and hit reply to that comment.

In the fill-comment subject, please include: FILL, (title, if you have one), (part #), (major warnings).

You may include additional warnings, pairing info, and simple tags again at the start of your fill. If your fill is too large for a single comment, split it into parts and label each part. Part #2 should be nested as a comment to part #1, part #3 nested as a comment to part #2, etc.

Other rule-type things
Discussion is permitted, there is no separate discussion post. Spread the love, consider filling someone else's prompt if your prompt is filled. Play nice, concrit is welcome but shaming and flaming/trolling are not. Please direct questions or concerns to this comment.

I'll go first. I'd love some icon-sized graphics (100px square or less) for comm members to use. Comic or movie source or original art, it's all good.

Kind of ugly, sorry. I'm just learning how to use GIMP, and icons make good practice. More soon!

Hrmm...
The icon is broken to me. Can anyone else see it?

Nope, me neither.

I can see it, just click on the image and it opens a new tab :)

(I love it by the way, but why must you hurt me so?)

(Anon above)
Tried that too, it says the picture doesn't exist or isn't longer available.

DA, it works for me too. Maybe its your browser or something?

How odd. I can't see it in firefox or chrome.

It might be my fault the image wasn't showing -- I wasn't happy with it, so I tweaked it and uploaded another, and might have accidentally broken the link in the process. Here's the newer version:

and a variation without the "slashy moment" text:

Hope that works!

Yep, these I can see them. Love them, thanks for sharing. :)

It does, I love it! I wish DW would let me use it, but it doesn't like the filesize. :(

Were you hoping for icons that are either Cap or Tony, or ones that are the two of them, or a selection of both options?

Steve or Tony or both, I'm super easy.

I never did manage as many of these as I was planning on, but here's what there is:

And two really silly ones:

If anyone has specific requests, I'm happy to help out. :D

These are fabulous, and I totally going to steal at least one. Decisions, decisions.

Thank you!

I just posted some over on the lj comm, here:
http://cap-ironman.livejournal.com/1316006.html :D

I want to see Kid!Steve protect Tony from Indries.

Something happens and Steve gets turned into a kid. While he likes the other avengers and Iron Man his favorite person is Tony Stark. When Indries Moomji starts drugging Tony into loving her, Tony's visits to Kid!Steve are reduced or stop. Kid!Steve takes matters into his own hands and decides to visit Tony. Being the stubborn person he is once he manages to make his way over to Tony's office and home he's not going to leave. Tony of course introduces him to Indries, the "love" of his life. It can be during any point in Tony's "relationship" with her. Steve of course immediately doesn't like her or trust her.

Bonus: If he kicks her in the shin.
Bonus x2: If he removes the bottle of wine Indries left in Tony's bedroom and thwarts her other attempts to make Tony fall off the wagon.
Bonus x10000: If he happens to show up when she's ripping Tony up, stops her and convinces Tony that she was wrong.(In the Comics, even later after he knows she was a villain he still believes the things she said about him.)

Don't want: I don't want anything romantic between Tony and Steve while Steve's a kid. If you want to continue the story afterwards when Steve's grown up and get them together that's fine with me.

Mem here. Gee, I wonder why this one sounds familiar. XD Also, I still say you should write it, but at least it's out there for someone else to write now, because it does need to exist.

I already have a long enough list of fics I "need" to write to keep me busy until spring at the earliest.

After civil war, when everything is a mess and before Steve and Tony have started to make amends, the 616 and MA:A universes swap Tonys. Neither Tony handles it very well.

I second this!

I want this :D

Do you have any particular preference when it comes to level of canon compliance? I.e. do you want a fic where Tony has deleted his brain, skrulls have invaded, and Steve came back during Dark Reign/Siege, or are you okay with a fic where one or more of these things didn't happen?

OP Here

It doesn't particularly matter to me at what point its set/whether its perfectly accurate. If you'd rather pick and choose which parts you want to keep and just make it sorta canon-divergent, that's fine with me!

Mostly I'm looking for not-so-emotionally-stable 616!Tony and MA!Tony being horrified by the state of 616's world/his relationships with everyone that MA!Tony considers friends, etc. As long as there's that I'm happy :)

Steve hovers--a lot. Whenever Tony is injured, sick, or just plain tired, it seems like Steve is always there to try to get him to take it easy, and Tony notices that Steve isn't /nearly/ as overbearing around the other Avengers.

Tony is pissed, assuming that he acts that way because Tony has a heart condition and thinking Steve thinks he's "fragile" compared to the others, when actually Steve is just hopelessly in love with him. Misunderstandings and angst are welcome and encouraged :)

Can I get an AU where Steve and Tony dated in high school, and everyone was always trying to tell Tony that he could do better because he was rich and handsome and Steve was still tiny!Steve. They go on to college and Steve hit a major growth spurt and blah blah they're happily married.

Fast forward to their HS reunion, and Tony overhears someone who doesn't recognize talking about how he'd finally wised up and dumped Steve for someone in his league.

This is super cute. Seconded!

Give me Steve's first Thanksgiving after being pulled out of the ice. Tony organizes a huge dinner at the mansion (which, unfortunately, Iron Man is unable to attend) and invites all of the Avengers to help make Steve feel at home.

It's still a bit soon for this, but holiday gift exchange prompts are mentioned and made me wishing for some Christmas story. :)

Steve noticed how tired Tony is lately, caught up in Avengers' and Iron Man's solo missions, keeping Avengers' weaponry and suits always up to date, designing ever the coolest and newest gadjets both for R&D and SHIELD.

He also noticed Tony looks *very* interested in Steve, that finally prompts Steve to use some creativity and think up something special for their Christmas holidays, hoping it's going to make Tony as happy as he. On Christmas morning he sits under Tony's tree together with the other gifts, offer himself as gift and waiting for Tony to come and, hum, unwrap him.

Bonus: I'd love for this if it was both smutty & uber romantic. :)

When they finally hook up, it turns out that Steve has fewer reservations and more experience (with guys) than Tony does.

Tony only realizes he's attracted to Cap after Extremis handily points out his physical reactions (breathing/heart rate, accounts of where all that blood is rushing to winkwink) to being with Steve :)

This entire time, Tony just thought it was all the heat of battle.

616 works, but a hypothetical MA:A universe where Tony receives the Extremis would also be adorable.

Oh, no. This prompt is horrible (by which I mean, the best prompt ever and I HAVE TOO MANY STORIES ALREADY DAMN IT)

I have one million seconds for the MA:A verse idea uwu

I'd like a fic with Tony as an empath, where he feels the emotions of people around him. He's kept it secret from everyone, but he's always felt exactly how disappointed his father was with him. Over the years, he becomes focused on the negative emotions because they always feel stronger. It's hard for him to pick out the more positive emotions. He can feel that Pepper really does love him, but the worry and headache he gives her comes through stronger and he eventually breaks it off so that she isn't tied up in that mangle of emotions forever.

Then Steve comes along. Tony can feel Steve's anger and resentment, even some of that ever familiar disappointment, but slowly that changes and Tony doesn't know what to make of that, or how quickly he's falling for Steve. When they start having sex, after the fourth or fifth time, Steve drives Tony to completely loosing his self control and he starts projecting his feelings during the sex, made sharper by the close contact. Steve, thinking this is the most fantastic feeling, keeps going and Tony doesn't even realize he's doing it.

After, Steve asks him about it, half awed and Tony closes up and gets defense. H/C and a happy ending please.

+10 for Bottom!Tony
+100 for Pepper feels. Treat her respectfully please!
+1000 for Rhodey being the one person who has actually figured it out, probably from one of Tony's attempts to use a little emotional manipulation.

And many, many cookies and thanks for an eventual fill.

Steve is getting a little frustrated with Tony. There's that whole team player thing, or lack there of, and Tony simply being Tony Stark. He watches carefully to see what he can do to help the team work better together, and notices that yelling at Tony/punishments really doesn't work.

So he decides to try some positive reinforcement. Instead of telling Tony what he did wrong after a fight, he tells him good job, he's really helped, though it would be appreciated if Tony let the others know the change in plan next time. No one is more shocked at this turn of events than Tony, who has absolutely no idea of how to deal with it.

I'd like to see Tony slowly becoming a better team player, because he's never had that sort of approval before. No real need for minor references to Taming of the Shrew (or even better, Kiss Me Kate), but I would love you forever if you managed to work in the quote from the title. Especially if Steve is the one who mutters it where someone (not Tony) overhears, and then relays it to Tony who gets just a little offended that he's being compared to the Shrew.

Au! where Steve and Tony are abducted. Tony is pregnant with steve´s child and losing blood quickly so he tells Steve to operate him and save the baby.

Steve is an NYPD detective and Tony is a defense attorney, and both of them are very good at their jobs. At first Steve doesn't really like Tony, because he thinks that he's just helping criminals get away with their crimes for the sake of money, and the two of them generally don't get along. Then Steve gets framed for a murder, and for some reason beyond his comprehension, Tony takes his case pro bono.

(Bonus if as Steve and Tony eventually get to know each other better, Steve learns that Tony only takes a client on if he truly believes they're innocent.)

Prompt: Steve has magic powers, Tony learns it when he uses them, the day Jarvis die.

*OP dies of shame for actually posting this twice, even if next to no one will know the series*

Okay, so what I want is a Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne fusion, because really, Avengers fandom needs more magical girl prompts. Though without the magical girl, please. No crossdressing needed, just the plot.

Steve is a normal, if lonely guy, who is the reincarnation of Captain America and needs to seal demons in paintings. He is helped by an demi-angel named Hawkeye to collect chess pieces and protect people from the demon's influence.

Tony is a rich guy with huge daddy issues, who transforms into Sinbad/Iron Man (I'm actually rather fond of the idea of a mechanized Sinbad, because I think Tony would enjoy this role overly much) and a secretive mission to keep Steve from collecting the chess pieces. He decides to do this with seduction and the help of a little black angel with red on her ledger. As far as Steve knows, they're working for the devil (Loki?).

Just run with it. Other characters I'll leave the matching up to the filler (there's lots of fun combinations), but I would love you forever for using the Fin Fish plotline with Hawkeye.

Think about it. Coulson is totally Zen-kun. Steve, you were my wind...

*OP slinks off the internet in shame*

Either 5 things Tony made Steve do that he would have never done on his own, or 5 things Steve made Tony do that he would have never done on his own. Maybe a +1 of something that both of did for the first time together?

Something fluffy, please :)

Blood dripping out from the armor is one of the most terrifying things Steve's seen.

Hey, so I'm posting for phenominable. She did a really nice comic fill for your prompt. It's here: http://phenominable.tumblr.com/post/70395560213/you-should-look-up-pictures-of-new-yorks

I think you typed the URL wrong? Or else phenominable has changed URLs?

Ah, yeah, she has. The new url: http://phenominablesnowman.tumblr.com/post/70395560213/you-should-look-up-pictures-of-new-yorks

(NA here)

...I hate tumblr.

Anyway, I've found it by google searching:

http://outercorner.tumblr.com/post/70721060882/phenominable-you-should-look-up-pictures-of-new

This idea is all Mem's fault.

Poor Steve is sooo confused.... Tony keeps randomly changing sexes for some reason. It can be treated as seriously or cracky as you want.

Some thoughts on ways you might want to take it.

- Tony isn't aware of when it happens. Which ever sex he is, is the one he always remembers being.

- Tony is aware and Tony tries to keep a secret for awhile.

Do Not Want: Non-Con, Misogyny, Personality transplant with sex change.

I love how you blame me on this. It is totally not my fault Tony occasionally had random sex changes when I'm half asleep and typing. That's all you for taking my comments seriously. XD

That said, this really does need to happen...

"I hope no one kissed me," Tony said, waving one armored gauntlet weakly as he lay in the smashed rubble aftermath of the Chitauri invasion. "Wow, it's weird looking up at the sky in Manhattan. There's... more colors."

Steve made an adorable sound, a bit like a squeak. Hulk's brow lowered and he looked confused. Thor looked up and said, "The sky looks the same to me as before."

"Oh, wait, I know what it is; my color discrimination is better like this. Forgot the reset switch." Tony grunted and sat up. "Ow. The suit is pinching my boobs."

Hulk rumbled, "BOOBS?"

"Yeah, you know, those bumpers women have in front?" Tony tugged at the neck of the Iron Man suit. "Lemme just change back and get comfortable." Tony's eyes closed for a moment, and then he got up. "That's better."

"Tony," Steve said. "You were a woman. For a minute there. Really. No... no beard. Your voice... you were a woman."

"Yeah? So?" Tony scratched at drying blood on his cheek. "You're looking at me funny, Cap. Did I miss a spot?"

"Men don't turn into women," Steve said, rather desperately. "Oh, God, I never did get out of the ice, this has all be one long dying hallucination."

Tony patted Steve on the arm. "No, no this is all real, Capsize. It's a thing that I do, sometimes. Mostly just for fun, but, eh, dying there. You know?" He peered closely into Steve's face. "Maybe you better sit down for a minute."

Thor guided Steve over to a chunk of what used to be the front of a bakery. Hulk grabbed a baguette and munched on it. Tony found a box of Bavarian creme donuts, only slightly squished, and wrote an IOU on the lid before he helped himself. "It's not a problem. You see, I was adopted."

"Ah, I understand." Thor nodded and took one of the donuts. "Oh, yes, much better than Pop-tarts." He fanned Steve with the edge of his cloak.

"You see?!" Steve stood up abruptly. "Being adopted doesn't explain anything!"

"Loki is adopted," Thor pointed out. He offered Hulk a donut. Hulk took it and let Thor keep his fingers. "He shifts sexes all the time." Thor nodded confidentially, "Sometimes just because he likes a pair of shoes and wants to wear them."

"Never cared much for clothes," Tony said, "except for suits. I love suits." He finished off his donut and reached for another, but Hulk had bogarted the rest of the box.

"Are you saying that Tony is... what did you say Loki is... a Frost Giant?" Steve looked Tony up and down and frowned.

Tony rolled his eyes, "Am I blue? Do I have beady bloodshot eyes? Am I tattooed up the wazoo? Wait, strike the last one, you don't know what I'm like without the armor." He grinned at Steve.

Hulk stared at Tony, with more intelligence than most people would credit. "HOW YOU KNOW GIANTS ARE BLUE?"

Thor lowered his brows and scowled. "That is a good question. I did not describe them to you." It wasn't quite as impressive as Hulk's scowl, but it was fairly scary. And then Steve added Super Soldier Suspicion to the mix.

"Look! It's a long story, but the short version is that a guy in a blue telephone booth showed up in the middle of Stark Mansion right after, well, the docs told Howard and Maria that they shouldn't keep trying to have a kid, too dangerous for her. Phone booth guy had a baby, and a sob story about second chances and misunderstood villains and you know, somewhere along the line he convinced Howard that this kid would be a genius and take over where Howard left off, and I think Howard was stinking drunk at the time. And Maria really really wanted a baby, so they figured, fine, no paper trail, and the kid looked a lot like Howard.

"So, that was me."

"That," Steve said, "Explains nothing."

Tony sighed and then talked really fast, "whenIgotolderIrememberedI'dbeenagenocidalmaniac. And I knew all this stuff. Aliens, planets, science that just doesn't exist here. I didn't, I still don't, remember everything from before I got whammied, de-aged, but I did remember that I didn't want to be that guy. All he cared about was making other people his slaves, when he wasn't killing them, so all I wanted was to have fun, and make stuff to make my side a little better protected. I was trying to stay out of things. Not take over the world. Really, Loki has no idea how miserable that is. No fun, no friends, and there's ALWAYS someone showing up to kick your ass off your throne."

Hulk leaned over to poke Tony in the chest. "WHY GIRL?"

"Oh, that. Well, when one of my people dies, we get a new body, randomly formed, but always the same sex. Women have an added extra- they can deliberately change forms without dying, and choose the sex along with everything else. Howard wanted a boy." Tony shrugged.

Steve blinked. "So... you're a deaged female alien who shaped yourself to look like Howard Stark's baby."

Tony grinned. "Got it in one!" He looked around the street. "But don't pass it around. I'm still having trouble living down the rumor that I'm a bisexual alien and have an ammonia-filled tentacle on me." He huffed. "Ammonia. Ridiculous. Bisexual now..." He looked Steve up and down. "Ok, I'll give you that one."

Steve cleared his throat. "Um. Let's just go collect Loki. And... not talk about this."

"Great! And then we'll have shawarma."

Hahaha. As the blamee on this one, I really can't complain. This was hilarious. And I love the Doctor being the excuse. XD

*giggle* I'm a crackaholic. And too sleepy to write actual sex scenes, but I'm pretty sure Tony has plans for Steve.

Omg, this is amazing XD Oh, Doctor... XD

Thanks! :^) Time!Tony is a fun guy.

Most excellent. :D
Apparently I wasn't signed in when I posted the prompt, but that was me. This brought a smile to my face and made me giggle. Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it- the prompt just called out to my crack!ficcy soul. :^)

Because this needs to be a thing. This totally needs to be a thing that Thor warns them about, the others ignore, and Steve and Tony end up having to fight it. Especially if one of them nearly gets eaten.

Then Thor says I told you so. Not that Steve and Tony are listening, because the 'omg, you were nearly eaten' make out session is taking place.

Steve is a fashion photographer, and Tony is the model he falls in love with (and then proceeds to hide his feelings because 1. work relationships never work out and 2. Tony is a model and could do much better than him--or so he thinks)

Bonus points:

If you draw characterization from comics verse instead of MCU (though not necessary, since not everyone reads comics and I'm not that picky)

If Janet Van Dyne is the designer behind all the clothes Tony models (and maybe Steve sees them together and thinks that they're a couple--that's not necessary, I just really love model/photographer AUs and would be happy with just about anything!)

YES TO THIS also any reason to put Jan in a story sounds good to me :)

Seconded!

When Steve returned to his studio after a location shoot, he was amused to find that Janet had left over twenty messages on his cell phone and the studio voicemail. But he worried when he heard the increasing desperation of her messages. So despite the late hour and that his day at the magazine shoot had gone on for over fourteen hours, he called her back.

“Oh finally. Thank god it’s you, Steve,” Janet said. “Look, I’m in a bad, bad spot. I have to get a portfolio of my work to the producers of this reality television show or I get dropped from consideration. They want only my new stuff and they want it like tomorrow.”

Janet was a long-time friend and Steve was familiar with her various projects, including her application to be on this fashion reality show which would review and critique her collections and give her advice on how to market her lines. He knew it was a unique opportunity for her. “I can clear some things off my calendar tomorrow afternoon. Would that work?”

“Yes, yes, yes, perfect! And I can send them the photos right from your studio.” Janet gave a sigh of relief.

“Anything you need for the shoot?”

“I can’t think of anything other than my clothes -- food, I’ll bring food. Something you like,” she said breathlessly, bringing a smile to Steve’s face. “Oh, and I’ll have a couple of models with me. You won’t believe it, but I got Tony Stark to model for me.”

Steve sucked in a breath at hearing Tony’s name. Tall, dark and hot Tony Stark was a much in-demand model these days. Steve had first seen two years ago at the spring New York Fashion Week when Tony was just breaking into modeling. Steve had been a last-minute pool photographer, so he knew he was lucky to be there for what turned out to be Tony’s show. He thought he should be embarrassed he did not remember the designer Tony walked for, but it did not matter. From the second Tony Stark stepped on the catwalk, anyone could see that Tony had “it,” that hard-to-define perfect mix of gorgeous appearance, confident attitude and charisma that was the special province of all supermodels. Along with everyone else, Steve could not take his eyes off Tony as he rocked and strutted down the catwalk. At the end Tony took off his jacket with a flourish, hooked it over his shoulder with a casual shrug, and winked at the crowd, flashing his steel-blue eyes. With that gesture, Tony’s spectacular career as a supermodel was launched.

Captivated by the cocky, gorgeous model, Steve avidly followed Tony’s career. He studied the editorial photoshoots he appeared in, saw him in the news with an A-list actress or big name celebrity on his arm, watched him walk at all the fashion shows. But Steve knew it was never going to happen between them. Not only did Steve have no opportunity to meet him, Steve was a struggling fashion photographer beginning to make a name for himself as the go-to guy in a crisis, when an editor needed a quality photographer at the last minute or needed a guy to fix up the poor work of another photographer. But, really, he was a small fish in a very big and very competitive pond. A top-flight model like Tony did not work with the little guys like Steve. Or be likely to notice him.

Now that Steve was doing Janet’s photoshoot and would be in a room near Tony for hours, he could not make a move either. Steve had a steadfast rule to never mix work and romance. He had heard and seen enough to know that it was not a good idea to date anyone he worked with. And Steve was not going to mess up this opportunity for Janet by acting anything less than professionally with Tony. In fact, he wondered what favors Janet cashed in to even persuade Tony to model for her portfolio.

Once Janet confirmed the shoot with Steve, she abandoned her usual cool and became frantic to ensure everything would turn out perfectly. Steve fielded a dozen calls from her about the shoot, when she was sending her interns over with the clothes for the shoot, lighting questions, where the models could put on their makeup, whether she could set up a sewing machine for last minute fixes, when she could come over. Steve kept reassuring her each and every time that he was ready to do the shoot.

Late in the morning, Steve heard the doorbell ring and immediately thought it was the interns again dropping something off. But when he opened the door, he was not ready to see lean, gorgeous Tony lounging against his door jamb with a slight smirk on his lips. “Rogers?” he asked.

Steve ran his hand through his hair to gain valuable seconds to regain his composure. “Yep, Steve Rogers.” He grimaced briefly. “I thought you were Janet’s interns again.”

“Well, I did come bearing gifts,” Tony replied. He pointed at the bags at his feet. “From Janet.”

“Oh,” Steve said quizzically. “What did she send?” He could not imagine anything that Janet had left out.

Tony nonchalantly picked up the bags. “Shoes,” he answered as he pushed past Steve into the studio.

Steve breathed in Tony’s cologne and watched as Tony claimed a corner of the old leather couch in front of the windows. Tony stretched out like a cat, moving his body this way and that. He lifted a hand to push the bangs out of his eyes and left his arm resting casually on the back of the couch. Steve realized he was staring and was immediately embarrassed. He made a show of checking his watch. “I’m going to get ready for the shoot. I think Janet will be here shortly.”

Tony checked his phone. “She just texted that she’ll be here in a half-hour,” he said helpfully.

Steve had no idea what he was going to do while waiting for Janet with Tony in the same room. He felt very self-conscious as he checked over his equipment -- the filters, reflectors, camera batteries, and memory cards. He wondered if Tony was watching him. He fiddled and fussed far more than he usually did over checking the light levels in his studio.

“So, Pepper, about that paperwork?” Tony asked. Startled, Steve looked over at Tony on his cell phone with a tablet on his lap. Tony seemed miles away and not aware of Steve at all. “Good, good. Anything with that contract? Hmmm. Pep, it’s my patent and intellectual property, just remind them of that. Okay. I’m at a photoshoot for the afternoon, see you tomorrow.” Tony put the phone down.

Steve could not help but notice how striking Tony looked in his simple white button down, black tee, and jeans sitting on the brown couch, black hair cut very fashionably, his warm, olive skin a nice contrast with his blue eyes. The artist side of him itched to just start taking photographs. Maybe ask Tony to shift a little over there and stretch out a little more. The sun streaming through the windows was hitting him just right, highlighting more of Tony’s best features. But the business side held him back, reminding him that he needed to focus on the upcoming photoshoot intended to showcase Janet’s clothes, not Tony’s shoulders and lean body. “Was that your agent?” Steve asked in an attempt to break the ice while he recalibrated his light meter. He walked over to stand closer to the couch.

“Pepper does everything for me. I’m trying to launch a business right now so she’s doing the incorporation paperwork.”

“Business?” Steve asked, intrigued.

“Stark Enterprises at your service. Got to plan for when I’m not so beautiful,” Tony replied with a wry laugh. He lifted a binder from the coffee table and started to leaf through it. “Wow, this is really great work.”

Steve blushed at the compliment. “Examples of my recent work.”

“Janet said that you had an exhibit recently.”

“It was just a small show at one of the colleges in the city,” Steve replied. He glanced over at Tony and met his eyes, brimming with unexpected intelligence. He also wondered if he imagined a flicker of interest in those beautiful steel-blue eyes.

Then Tony’s phone rang. “Hey, Janet. No, Jessica’s not here yet. Just me and Steve.” Tony smiled up at Steve. God, Steve thought, his smile is dazzling. “Okay. When she gets here, we’ll call.”

Before Steve could say anything his own phone rang. “Cap Studios, Steve here.” It was not Janet. Instead it was a magazine editor wanting him for a location shoot. Steve nodded to Tony and went to his office to take down the details of the job and discuss rates and compensation. Once the call was over, it occurred to Steve that Janet was clearly close enough with Tony to ask him to bring shoes and call him about the photoshoot. He would have to ask her how she knew Tony.

After his brief call, Steve returned to the main room to see that Janet had arrived and was in deep conversation with Tony over by the rack of clothes. Steve hung back a moment as a spike of fear struck him as he watched them standing close together. Maybe Jan and Tony were more than just acquaintances. Maybe even more than friends? Jan noticed Steve and waved him over.

“So, this is what I was thinking for the shoot,” Jan said. She went through the rack, explaining to Steve what the portfolio needed to show, and telling Tony how she wanted him to wear the clothes. Exuding frantic energy, she directed her interns, whom Steve had not noticed in the room, to dress Tony while she began to make last-minutes fixes to the clothes. As Steve set up the chairs according to Janet’s direction, he caught glimpses of Tony walking in Janet’s clothes as she made alterations. Tony treated the whole exercise as if he were modeling in Paris or Milan. He moved with sinuous grace, charisma in every line of his body as he moved. Steve’s mouth went dry as he watched the play of Tony’s lean muscles under the close-fitting clothes. The energy in the room ramped up even more when the other model, Jessica, finally arrived, apologizing for the delay, as Jan ushered her into the arms of an intern to get her dressed.

After a quick assessment of how ready Janet was, Steve did his final lighting adjustments. In some ways this was going to be harder than a standard fashion editorial photoshoot. He wanted to do a really good job for Janet as she was a good friend. The clothes were very on-point, and fashion trendy. The models were breathtaking and perfect. Now the burden was on the photographer to be up to the task.

For over an hour Steve took photographs of several different outfits. Janet was in constant movement, adjusting the clothes, touching up hair and fixing makeup. They had worked with Jessica before so Steve knew what she would do in front of the camera. He had to coax her not to go flat in front of the camera and to emote in the right way. Jessica soon warmed up to the camera and was on. Steve knew why Jan picked Jessica -- she looked exactly like the woman Janet had in mind to buy and wear her clothes: smart, sophisticated, body-conscious, ambitious and confident. He could tease all of that out of her in his photographs.

But it was a completely different story with Tony, who seemed to have an innate understanding of what was expected in front of the camera. He gave Steve new angles, different expressions, little shifts in posture without prompting from Steve. It was a pure joy to photograph him. Steve wished this was an editorial photoshoot because he started to have ideas of where he wanted to push Tony to go. Images of Tony posing filled Steve’s mind; he had never worked with a model this talented before and he might never have the opportunity again. But he glanced over at Janet standing pensively on the side. Steve had to regroup and stick to the project at hand. He asked Jan, “Got everything you wanted?”

“Can I see the photos?” Janet asked. “It’s probably enough. But you know …”

“Sure. Give me a few minutes and we can go over the photos.”

Steve stepped over to his workstation, set up specifically for him to go over a photoshoot with a client. He loaded up the shots from the entire shoot while Janet started to pack up and talk with the models and interns. Looking at the results of the shoot, as he suspected, Tony was spectacular, his personality and attitude just jumping up from the screen. He made Jessica look even better than usual. No wonder Tony was the toast of the fashion world right now.

Janet wandered over. “I’m sending everyone home now, Steve. But I’ll stick around to go through the photos. I ordered Chinese.”

Steve’s phone vibrated. “Excuse me, I have to get this,” he muttered, noticing the number of one of his best clients. He ducked into his office. When he came out after the long call, he saw Tony and Janet together at his workstation looking through the photos. Janet kept tugging at his shirt sleeve while Tony picked at his food and laughed. He overheard a little bit of the conversation. “It’s just Steve, Tony. Ask him.”

“Just Steve” was never the beginning of a promising anything. “Ask me what?” Steve asked as casually as he could, girding himself for disappointment.

Tony gave him a wide dazzling white smile.“I need to update my modeling portfolio. And these photos look great. So, I was wondering if you could help me out?”

As much as Steve wanted to photograph Tony, he had sinking feeling that Tony might want the work for free. He looked over at Janet, who narrowed her eyes, as if she was trying to send him a message. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked at the expectant Tony, who was beaming with encouragement. Steve knew this was a bad idea and his mind shrieked all sorts of excuses and reasons not to. But he heard himself saying, “Yeah, we could work something out. Probably will depend on your schedule though.”

Tony took out his phone. “I’m booked for the next two weeks. But I’ll send you some dates and we could work something out, okay?”

Steve nodded. “Sure. We could do that.” He pulled up a chair and tucked into the food.

Janet got up and gathered her belongings. “I’ll see Tony out, Steve.”

“Okay,” Steve replied. He watched Tony and Janet giggle their way across the room, Tony’s arm around Janet’s shoulders. He suddenly envied Janet’s ease and her apparent close friendship with Tony. If that was all it was.

A few days later, Tony booked the appointment with Steve. Steve knew working with Tony meant that nothing could ever happen between them because of the strong line Steve drew between his personal and work life. And Tony was probably dating Janet, to boot. But Steve reminded himself how lucky he was to get a chance to work with Tony again, since the prospect of photographing Tony was unbelievably thrilling.

And that was all that mattered right now.

(not the OP) I love it, can't wait for more!

*crushes on your fill*

Not OP BUT ooooh am I loving this so far :D

OP here!

AAAAAAAAAAAH this is great! :DDD Its exactly what I wanted. I really hope you're planning on writing more of this, because I'd love to see it!

Seconded, will look forward to Part 2 - The Crush Is Requited (please). <3 <3

Can I have Steve and Tony cooking together? I don't really care what they're cooking. I just want some happy fluff :)

Tony wants to measure everything out perfectly, because cooking is a science, and Steve is just kinda eyeballing and going with what looks about right to him, and Tony won't stop eating their ingredients before they get to the pan, and at some point they get a little...distracted, and they let whatever is on the stove at the moment burn, and yeah, their dish really doesn't look like the picture on the recipe...

Bonus if Jarvis comes in at the end to save the disaster that is now his kitchen.

What it says on the tin :)

Steve and Tony end up stranded alone together on a tropical island (or it could be the savage island). They have to work together to find water and food, build shelters, fight off wild animals and the cold at night by sharing body heat (because of the sharp drop of the temperature) all that kind of stuff. They need one another to survive.

This is can be full-of-angst post CW, or somewhere in MCU or Ultimates, etc.

That develops in them ending to have sex.

Bonus points for them thinking it's just about sex, then them both realize they're in love with the other and start pining for the other. Happy ending would be lovely though.

What I want is quite simple. Tony with his fingers in his ass, thinking about Steve as he gets off. Bonus: he comes without touching his cock.
