cap_ironman | 2015 Cap-Ironman Exchange Gifts unveiled on 1/1/16

It is the last day for the unveiling of gifts! Each day, between December 26th to January 1st, we have been revealing the gifts created by participants of the 2015 Cap-Ironman Holiday Exchange. Over the next couple days you can try to guess at the creators’ identities, and then, on January 3rd, we will reveal all of the authors and artists who participated this year.

Here are today’s gifts!

Love Always Feels Like a Battlefield for navaan (EMH, 2,895 Word Count)
No one knew it was a weapon at first, and by then Iron Man was falling out of the sky.

Steve Versus Tony's Workshop for zappedbysnow (Avengers Assemble, 3,177 Word Count)
When Tony hesistates to let Steve into his workshop, Steve begins to worry. Then he decides to do something about it.

Would You Believe Me for nostalgicatsea (MCU, 1,693 Word Count)
Tony has to travel back in time after Steve was sent back to 1945 during a fight.

Don't face these nights alone for Lenalena (MCU, 4,987 Word Count)
Steve thinks he's developing a crush, but he's not yet ready to even consider any more, because he and Tony are such good friends now and he wants to cherish that friendship. A little vacation trip teaches him more about Tony – and perhaps that goes both ways.

Whatever After for marinarusalka (Art)
Loki transformed part of New York into a mishmash of different fairy tales and he challenged the Avengers to go through them for his amusement.

It would've been fun, if there wasn't a deadline. The longer they stay in that reality, the stronger the spell becomes. To top it off, Steve is fun size and Tony's armor is now just a hunk of junk without the tech.

Together they must find Tony's Cinderella, before they get stuck in the storybook stupidity forever.

Love me (not) for vibraniumstark (616, 5,677 Word Count)
Steve and Tony fall into a friends with benefits relationship and Tony is completely okay with that. Right?

Blood Loss for marinarusalka (Noir, 5,001 Word Count)
The serum really did work a miracle. It created Captain America, and Tony would like the serum to work a miracle on him too. If only he didn’t fall in love.

Is it a Monster? for Goda (MCU, 5,206 Word Count)
”We are NOT soldiers!” Tony snaps, and Steve stares at him. Before, he’d thought he’d just looked like his father, but now-- There is a spark in Tony’s eyes that Steve has seen before, a fierce determination that Steve remembers well, and…

Steve shook his head to dislodge the memories, and he carefully pulled one of the photos free of its place in the file. It was one Steve remembered well; Stark had his arm draped around Steve’s shoulder; he was smiling with manic excitement and leaning into Steve’s personal space like he belonged there. (Because he belonged there.)

“Whoever you are,” Steve murmured, staring at the photograph. “I’m going to figure you out.”

When your gift is revealed, please be sure to thank your gifter!

If you’re the creator of a gift that’s been revealed, you can comment back to anyone who comments on your work and it will show up as “Anonymous Author” until the creator names are revealed on the 3rd, so please feel free to comment as much as you like.

We’ll be announcing all the gifts for today on Tumblr as well as here, if you would like to reblog it.

Finally, you may want to change the publication date of your work to today’s date, to help it show up in the Ao3 listings for recent works. AO3’s guide is available here and there is a more detailed guide on how to do so here.

Thanks,

Salma, Tea, and Teyke
