cap_ironman | Friday Fanwork Recs: Hidden Gems & Established Relationship

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 ‘HIDDEN GEMS’ -- Name some fics and art that you loved that don’t seem to get the love and attention that they deserve. It’s easy for a good fic to get lost in the depths of AO3 and tumblr, let’s help elevate underappreciated fanworks!

Theme #2 is 'ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS ' -- As much as we all love seeing Steve and Tony dance around each other until they pull their heads out of their rears, there’s something special about the narratives where they’ve been together for a long time and bicker like the old couple they are.

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!

Universe: MCU based casino/fake marriage au
Relationship(s): Steve/Tony
Warnings: none apply
Author summary: "Steve didn’t mean to become friends with Tony; it just sort of happened. It seems like one day he was a faceless dealer at Extrema, the next he was getting drunk with a millionaire genius. He knows what caviar tastes like now (he doesn’t like it) and he’s seen the Strip skyline at night from 60 stories up in a penthouse (that he does like). Most importantly, he knows Tony."

Author summary:There are no heroes in this world - only Tony Stark, and his money, and his brains, and his robots... And he's made quite the progress: In a few weeks, his first line of home-access humanoid androids is going to go up on the market for the world to enjoy!
But Tony has something else captivating his attention - an old model of the very first antique robot he'd discovered in the old freezer tank of his father's basement. This robot is something else, something different. It insists that it's name is Steve Rogers... and Steve seems to be keeping quite a few secrets from the genius who pulled him out of an ice-cube.
