Don't we all know this feeling of having too many ideas to write and no time to write them all? Is there this one headcanon that you really want to read but can't write it? Or that frustration when you actually do want to write but you can't come up with anything?

If you have prompts or headcanons that you want to provide for your fellow writers and/or artists, here's the time and place! Anything is welcome, just take note to attach appropriate warnings if applicable.

This post will run all month, so be sure to come back and submit and discuss prompts over the coming weeks! To keep track of all new comments in this post, click the bell at the top of this post.

Apologies if I'm doing this wrong, or if we weren't supposed to write our own prompts: I'm new to doing this.

Anyway:

There are a fair few (really good) fic out there where all the different Tony's or Steve's from the various Marvel universes end up in one space and hijinks ensue.

There are also a reasonable number of stories in which Howard Stark magically appears, often so he can show his true, unpleasant colours and get punched on the nose.

So let's combine those ideas.

Somehow (magic, science, Asgardians) All The Howards show up: standard Terrible Father 616 Howard, I-don't-know-much-about-him-but-I'll-bet-he-was-Worse Ultimate Howard, fighting-off-Zemo Noir Howard, Actual Decent Parent Armoured Adventures Howard, and the MCU's cold, disinterested, driven guy who sent his son away so he could send an emotional message to that same son (!) (also, let us not forget, the recipient of Agent Carter's "I know you loved him" speech.

What happens when all of these Howards show up in the middle of breakfast, or at the end of a fight?
How do our heroes react?

Does Cap punch anyone on the nose?

Does Tony run away to stand (probably not naked) crying in the rain?

And what the hell is going on?
