Steve/Tony fanworks: Where do I start?

UPDATE: This page is no longer kept up-to-date with our event masterlists. Check out our new and updated Event Masterlists and Fanwork Recs page!






Whether you are new to the pairing and its history and feel overwhelmed by all the amazing fanworks that are out there or have been a fan of it long and are looking for some new recs, here are some places for you to get started.

Cap-IronMan Community

Lots of fanworks can be found posted right here on the [community profile] cap_ironman community. You can browse them using the tags for medium, universe, creator, rating, etc..

You can also peruse the Cap/Iron Man Event Collections on AO3 if you prefer to read there (although note, that these only have the works posted to AO3 for these challenges and not necessarily all fanworks created for a single event), which will hold only stories that were created for specific events and not all works posted on the community:

If you are looking for recommendations, the [livejournal.com profile] cap_ironman community ran the “Recs Week” several times and we are planning to do so again in the future, collecting recommendations for fanworks our members enjoyed. To see all the fanworks that were recced by our users on these occasions you can browse the recs week tag or you can browse our rec week round up posts from previous rec weeks.

2017 Rec Week Round-Up
2016 Rec Week Round-Up
2015 Rec Week Round-Up
2014 Rec Week Round-Up
2012 Rec Week Round-Up
2010 Rec Week Round-Up

We also have a general recs tag that hasn’t seen much action from the community yet, but that people can use for tagging recs posted to the community or post about their own rec lists. So go ahead and share your recs, please!

Other places to look for Steve/Tony fanwork recommendations and maybe share your own:

The now classic Steve/Tony Ship Manifesto lists recs for early fics written for the pairing.

There is a whole bunch of fanworks listed directly on the Steve/Tony fanlore page and there is a section that lists plenty of Steve/Tony rec lists around the net there, too. (Remember it’s a wiki project of the OTW that all fans can join in and help edit at any time. So if you think something is missing there, please don’t point it out to us, you can jump right in and help keep information on Steve/Tony fandom accurate and up to date yourself. But please mind the rules of fanlore if you do.)

The [livejournal.com profile] epic_recs community has a Steve/Tony tag for your browsing convenience. The focus of the community is on fic recs for longer fic, but shorter fics and other fanwork types are also recced on occasion.

Anyone can leave recs for the themed rounds at [community profile] fancake . It’s a good place to share your enthusiasm. For browsing convenience they have a a Steve/Tony tag on their pinboard.

At [community profile] bestthingever people are invited to share the new awesome fanworks they came across and want to rec right now. They too have a a Steve/Tony tag on their pinboard.

Some tumblrs you should absolutely check out for recs are The Stony Library and Stony Fic.

Some other rec lists:
[livejournal.com profile] xbeax compiled lists of all her Steve/Tony recs sorted by universe.
[livejournal.com profile] endeni compiled a Steve/Tony rec list.
[livejournal.com profile] sineala compiled a reclist here.
[livejournal.com profile] bbucndrvemycar compiled a Masterlist of all her Steve/Tony Recs.
[livejournal.com profile] ria_reads recs Steve/Tony fic on her own journal here.
The SteveTonyFeels tumblr has a rec list here.
The Daily super Husbands tumblr has a rec list here.
Also there is a SteveTony fic recs tumblr.


Fic Search Communities:

As we do not allow fic searches on the comm we want again point out that if you’re looking for a specific fic you once read or are looking for recs that include specific themes or tropes you like it’s a good bet to post your question to a fic search community like [community profile] cap_im_search, [livejournal.com profile] cap_im_finders and [livejournal.com profile] avengers_search.

If you have any comments or want to point us at other Steve/Tony rec lists we’re not yet linking to from here. yet, please let us know in the comments! We’ll add it to this list then. Most rec lists we have compiled are for fic. Are there any for other fanworks out there that we are missing? Remember you can also simply make a post on the comm pointing to where you keep your own recs and tag it with “recs”.
