And Breakaway (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3066461) by Shaliara. (Art.)
I requested "pining" and "identity porn" in the last holiday exchange (I'm sure you're shocked), and Shaliara drew me these three pieces, and they're gorgeous. My favorite is the one where Tony has the helmet off, is covering Steve's eyes, and is about to kiss him. The hand-holding there just makes it. Beautiful.

A Face To Meet the Faces That You Meet (http://archiveofourown.org/works/284084) by valtyr, 2088 words.
I know it's by valtyr and therefore you've read it already, but it epitomizes the completely fucked-up side of identity porn and is well worth another read. This is an AU where Steve comes back to life after Civil War and only Bucky knows; Steve has to put on the uniform and temporarily take Bucky's place as Captain America. Tony doesn't know. And there's one very important thing Steve doesn't know, either. Glorious.

Hidden Truths (http://archiveofourown.org/works/117246) by Penumbren, 5905 words.
Sparring. Identity reveal. PWP. Whee.

Hypotenuse (http://archiveofourown.org/works/227890) by derryderrydown, 8182 words.
I know you have all read this. Go read it again. It's a fandom classic for a reason.

Manhattan Double Bluff (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1866990) by Neverever, 16,902 words.
An AU where Steve was found in the 50s, works for SHIELD, and is assigned as Tony's bodyguard. Tony doesn't know Steve used to be Captain America, and Steve doesn't know Tony is Iron Man. Then Hydra attacks and of course these things do not stay secret for long. Excellent action/adventure and I love the 1952 setting and the part where they remember each other from the war.

Luminosity (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1045470) by captainshellhead and vibraniumstark, 60,922 words.
A long plotty action/adventure story with the classic team, and one of the few early-canon stories I can think of that is actually set in the 60s, this also contains some excellent identity porn, as Steve is unaware that his boyfriend Tony is also Iron Man prior to being trapped with him on an alien planet. I love the setting so much in this one.

Reputation (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2261154) by copperbadge, 1561 words.
This story's summary is "Steve thinks Iron Man is trading sexual favors to Tony Stark for perks for the Avengers, and he's determined to protect his teammate" and really, it is exactly that. Ahahaha oh God. Probably my favorite thing by copperbadge.

Rollin' and Tumblin' (http://archiveofourown.org/works/496833) by Muccamukk, 9596 words.
Another fandom classic! Identity porn and sex pollen, what's not to love? I think my favorite thing about this is that Steve absolutely does not give a fuck and flirts continuously with Tony in both his identities, much to Tony's complete and utter bemusement.

A Secret Worth Keeping (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2766134) by missbecky, 3946 words.
Steve and Iron Man get bodyswapped -- and without taking the helmet off, Steve has no idea whose body he's in! I love how this story plays with Steve almost finding out, and whether he wants to; I really like him physically being in the suit and Tony talking him through how to deactivate the weapons. The descriptions are lovely.

Snowblind (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2807510) by kuro, 6826 words.
Tony accompanies the team on a mission, he and Steve get captured, and some surprising revelations about his secret identity are had. A lovely bit of h/c along with Tony being excellently competent out of the armor, with some self-loathing (of course) mixed in. If you're looking for an early-canon romp, don't miss this one.

Your Mirror Image (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4224672) by magicasen, 7872 words.
How can you say no to an early-canon story where Captain America and Iron Man come dressed as each other to a costume party? There's dancing! And supervillains! Okay, so Magic wrote this for me and I am terribly biased, but it contains EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE. For me, identity porn basically exists for the one perfect, pure moment of pining where Steve stares at Tony and wishes Iron Man were here; you get that in this story.
