I totally agree there's no better ship to lose your bingo v-card with, but I may be a bit biased :D
Sure, transformation can include de-aging! And I would say dress-up definitely includes lingerie.
The 'canon: x' prompts are challenges to write something set in or about the named canon. For 'canon: au verses and what if...?', Marvel comics (and the cartoons) canonically have interactions with alternate realities, and there's a comics line called 'What If...?' which is basically canon one-shot issues centered around alternate universes where things went differently (my personal fave is 'What If Tony Stark was the Sorcerer Supreme?'). Or, for example, there's a miniseries (which I keep meaning to get around to reading) called 'Bullet Points' where Steve becomes Iron Man. So the challenge there would be to write something involving one of those canon AUs.
Likewise, for 'canon: comic miniseries/oneshots', the challenge is to pick a particular miniseries or one-shot (which could also be one of those canon AU miniseries/oneshots, or could be a miniseries/oneshot set within one of the larger comics universes such as 616, Marvel Adventures, or Ultimates) and write a fill about it.
The idea with the canon prompts is to challenge people to play around with particular canons, just as other prompts challenge people to play around with particular tropes. Steve/Tony exists in a lot of different types of media, and a lot of different canons, so we have a wealth of background material. The comics canons can be intimidating if you're not familiar with them, but people here are always happy to make recommendations for where to jump in (and point you in the direction of some, um, extremely affordable sources, if you so desire). And comics fandom in general likes to make wikis for everything, so it's a lot easier these days to find information about all this stuff even without having to read a single issue.
Please don't worry about asking too many questions, feel free to keep asking me here! If you have canon questions in particular, I'd also encourage you to come over to the IRC chat sometime - there's usually someone in the chat at any given time, but especially during the weekly chats there's generally people around who will have recs for comics, cartoons, games, etc. Also we are friendly and love new faces :)
