Friday Fanwork Recs: Space & Identity

[cap_ironman_daily]

It’s Friday, which means rec time! Each week, we're offering you the chance to submit your favourite fics and other fanworks for our two themes. Self-recs are welcome and of course you can still make new recs once Friday has passed!

This week, theme #1 is ‘SPACE’ (suggested by fluffypanda) -- Tony goes into space to work with the Guardians of the Galaxy and Steve misses him terribly? Astronaut AU? Steve becoming a full-on Nasa geek after being defrosted? Galactic enemies threatening Earth again? Aliens made them do it (in space)? Accidental marriage due to strange alien customs on the planet they're stranded?

Theme #2 is 'IDENTITY' -- Identity in all its forms, whether its the good old identity porn, mistaken identity, sexual or gender identity, or any other type you can think of.

Please use the following format for your recs (you can just copy & paste this):

<strong>Title</strong>: <strong>Link</strong>: <strong>Author</strong>: <strong>Rating</strong>: <strong>Word Count</strong>: (Please note if it's a WIP) <strong>Universe</strong>: <strong>Relationship(s)</strong>: <strong>Warnings</strong>: There's no need to tag everything, but please heed at least the mandatory AO3 warnings for Rape/Non-Con, Dub-Con, Major Character Death, Underage and Graphic Violence. Also note if the author chose not to warn. <strong>Author summary</strong>: (Optional) <strong>Comment</strong>: Why do you rec this work?

Do you have a rec that doesn't fit either of the themes? Submit it to the general Stony Fic Rec Library, open 24/7!

Other great places for recs are:

• Bea Recs’ DW (you need to request access to these)


• Wingheadshellhead's tumblr FAQ


• Cap-IM's annual rec week

We also want to ask you to name themes for future Fanwork Rec Fridays, so pop into this post and leave us any suggestions! We'll use your ideas for sure (and of course give proper credit!). This and future posts will be tagged with Friday Fanwork Recs so if you ever want to go back to old themes, you can find them easily.

And now unto the fics!

How is this space still empty? Identity porn is The Best Trope! Here are a few of my favorites:

Title: Think of This as Solving Problems (That Should Never Have Occurred)
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5451815
Author: Sineala
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 44 710
Universe: 616
Relationship(s): Steve/Tony
Warnings: None
Author summary: No one knows Tony is Iron Man. Then Tony gets amnesia, and literally no one knows Tony is Iron Man.
Comment: This is, to me, the quintessential identity porn. Because identity porn + amnesia is a brilliant combination! Also, there's some lovely hurt/comfort. And angry stripping!

Title: Bodyguard for the Day
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/7702390
Author: navaan
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 11 424
Universe: 616
Relationship(s): Steve/Tony
Warnings: None
Author summary: Tony gets kidnapped from his Stark Industries office. Steve gets taken with him. But AIM doesn't know they've mistaken Captain America for a simple security guy – and nobody knows Tony is Iron Man... Life is complicated.
Comment: Classic 616 identity porn at its best! Mutual pining and protectiveness! What more could you ask for! <3

Title: Captain Rogers and the Iron Man of La Rochelle
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11190852
Author: Muccamukk
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 15 618
Universe: 616 (AU)
Relationship(s): Steve/Tony
Warnings: None
Author summary: Privateer Captain Steve Rogers' suspicions are raised when the notorious Iron Man hires his ship for a desperate mission to the besieged city of La Rochelle, and that's before he begins to make the connection to a French spy, and the extremely irritating Anthony Stark, Earl of Richford.
Comment: This is a very different story from the other two, because it's a historical AU - an awesome, adventurous seafaring setting that I really enjoyed. The reason it's here is that there is also some A+ identity porn going on!
