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!

Author summary:
Tony Stark resigned his commission in Starfleet five years ago, after a disastrous away mission, and he swore he'd never go back. He just wants to be left alone to build warp engines in peace. But the universe has more in store for him than that, as he discovers when Admiral Fury comes to him with an offer he could never have expected and cannot possibly refuse: first officer and chief engineer aboard the all-new USS Avenger, a starship of Tony's own design. What's more, the Avenger's captain is Steve Rogers, hero of the Earth-Romulan War. Believed dead for over a century, Steve is miraculously alive... and very, very attractive.
But nothing is ever easy for Tony. As he wrestles with his secret desire for his new captain and his not-so-dormant fears, another mission starts to go wrong, and Tony becomes aware that Steve has secrets of his own -- and the truth could change everything.
Comment: Everbody probably knows this but I'm reccing it anyway because it's one of my favourite fics ever and stayed with me for a long time after I read it. Seamlessly marries the Star Trek universe with the 616 characters. Really love the backstories for everyone, the getting to know each other for Tony and Steve, and all the little details of both canons that made it into the worldbuilding.

Could also be posted under "Identity" because there's quite a bit of Identity Porn going on, with Steve/Captain America even, which is not half as common as the Tony/Iron Man version.
