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.

So I really don't care for AUs all that much, but I do have one for sentient household appliances.

Title: Tony Stark: Appliance Whisperer
Author: Alex51324
Basic plot or premise: After Tony over-reacts to some SHIELD agents breaking a microwave oven, Steve begins to wonder if there's something the team should know.
Why you're recommending the piece: Okay, so this is gen, not slash, and I might be pushing it a bit with Steve and Tony's friendship being a focus (though Steve is totally the one who figures things out first and wants to help Tony), but god damn it, this is too darn cute not to rec. Machines have feelings too. You will have microwave feels, refrigerator feels, and vacuum cleaner feels, and all sorts of Tony feels. I just want to cuddle all of them. Plus, it's Tony Stark talking to machines with feelings no one else knows about. What's not to love?
