Big Bang Masterpost: Never Too Late for Love
Title: Never Too Late for Love
Author:sineala
Artist:phoenixmetaphor
Universe: Ultimates
Rating (both fic and art): Explicit (fic); Teen (art)
Word Count: 98,059
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, canonical character death (not Steve or Tony), internalized homophobia, gay panic, cancer, people generally behaving badly. All Steve and Tony pairings in this story have explicit sex scenes; please note that this includes Steve/Gail, Steve/Jan, and Tony/Natasha in addition to Steve/Tony.
Notes: A soulmate AU, covering the timespan of Ultimates 1 & 2. Thanks tokiyaar for beta.
Fic Summary: Steve has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing -- a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch. Steve knows he's not going to be one of the lucky ones. He knows Gail isn't his soulmate. But he loves her, even if they're not soulmates, and he's going to do right by her. After the war's over, he's going to marry her, and they're going to settle down. They'll buy a house. They'll have children. He'll see his family again. Maybe Bucky will live next door. It's going to be a good life. He doesn't need a soulbond. He'll be fine without one.
Then Steve wakes up sixty years in the future to find that his wonderful life has moved on without him. His family is long dead. His fiancée married his best friend. And the only purpose he has left is leading the Ultimates, a misbegotten team of superheroes with flaws too numerous to count. Steve hates everything about the future -- but most of all he detests Tony, flashy and flirtatious, who embodies everything Steve hates about a world he never wanted to live in.
And, oh, yeah, Steve has a soulmate after all: Tony fucking Stark.
