We're also doing a secondary fun theme each week, highlighting trends we've noticed in the fandom.  There's probably a joke in there somewhere about Tony putting artificial intelligence in more inappropriate things than he's put his... er- *cough* -in.  Let's see some sentient household appliances and other AI shenanigans.

Part two, more non-powered AUs:


Got the Cream (http://archiveofourown.org/works/341817) by YourFavoriteRobot
(Well, there is Loki with magic that changes cat!Tony into a human but, well, otherwise it's without powers)
Summary:Steve is coasting through life after leaving the army without making any real connections to anyone around him. Until a mischievous deity turns Steve's only friend, his cat Tony, into a human being.
Why? Ridiculously sweet and cute and amusing.

Apartment 5A (http://archiveofourown.org/works/630980) by toraten
Summary: An AU in which Steve Rogers edits comic books and Tony Stark is Tony Stark.
Why? Probably my favorite non-powered AU I've read. The collection of characters is great and the premise borrows from Chris Evans' movie "What's Your Number'.

And I'd buy a big house where we both could live (http://archiveofourown.org/works/399351) by shinkonokokoro
Summary: Missing: Tony Stark, billionaire businessman, heir to Stark Industries, reward: none. Only Steve didn't know that when he picked up the waterlogged unconscious man from the bank of a river.
Why? I'm a huge sucker for amnesia tropes. (Cannot top my love for amnesia stories, guh, give me more!) Anyway, interesting character interactions and a satisfying length to sit down and read.

Annnnnd that's all I've got. Whew!
