BB 2016: As Constant As a Star
Title: As Constant As a Star
Author: Atsadi
Artists: Kakushimiko & fightfirewithlimes
Universe: MCU AU
Rating (both fic and art): T
Word Count: 62,590
Warnings: Moderate to heavy gore, minor character death, internalized homophobia
Notes: This is pure fantastical escapism, which was so much fun to write. I had a great time working with both my artists, who produced some truly excellent art for this fic -- please make sure you go give them some love!
Fic Summary:
[The Swan Princess AU] As young children, Prince Anthony and Princess Natasha of neighboring Midgardian kingdoms are betrothed, and spend their summers together every year until they are wed. Tony adores his headstrong friend Nat: it’s her scowly little companion Steve he’s not thrilled about at first. But soon Steve goes from being a thorn in Tony’s side to being his dearest friend – and much, much more than that. Despite Steve feeling the same way about Tony, the pair still dance around each other for years as Steve struggles to accept his feelings for another man: especially one already betrothed to another. Not to mention that Tony is a prince, and Steve is nothing but a squire.
But before they can make peace, Tony is kidnapped and dragged into the beginnings of another conflict in the nearby magical kingdom of Asgard – he really hates magic. With his potential usefulness diminishing by the day, Tony races to escape even as Steve, Natasha, and their friends race to find him and bring him home.
And—just to make matters worse—Tony has been trapped by a powerful spell and turned into a swan, of all creatures. He really, really hates magic.
