More Steve & Tony for the MCU - The Cap-IronMan MCU 'What If?' Challenge



We all know how it is with movies: costs, contracts, production limitations, and of course, not every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe can feature our favorite characters. But in a connected universe, who can help but wonder? Where was Steve when this or that happened to Tony? What were Steve and Tony doing when Asgard got attacked? How would the MCU look if there had been more moments with Steve and Tony across movies?

What better opportunity to find the answers to these questions than the MCU’s 10-Year anniversary? Now we welcome you to the...

The Cap-IronMan MCU 'What If?' Challenge


With the release of Infinity War, we'd like to invite the fandom to create and share their favorite 'What If' scenarios, exploring all the ways there could have been more of Steve and Tony and Steve/Tony in the MCU continuity!

This is your chance to reimagine the MCU as the Steve/Tony story you would have wanted to see!

All mediums are welcome and there are no minimum requirements! Rules and guidelines for the MCU ‘What If?’ Challenge, as well as all other anniversary-related events, can be found here:

Cap-IronMan Anniversary Challenges: Rules and Guidelines




HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Think of a concept that explores any of the possible "what if's" that put Steve and Tony in the movies they didn’t share with each other, or into the movies they weren’t in at all.

  • Create your fanwork surrounding that premise.

  • Add it to our The Cap-IronMan MCU 'What If?' Challenge Collection on AO3!

Can't think of a good "what if" idea? No time to create but are full of ideas you'd like to come to life? You can leave prompts and ideas and discuss concepts below! We will also have a comment thread where you can share recs for existing what-if works.



CREATING YOUR FILL

The creation period will run from now (April 27) to May 29. A masterlist of all fills created for the challenge will be posted on May 30.
The creation period has been extended to May 31. A masterlist of all fills created for the challenge will be posted along with the MCU STONY Bingo fills.

You may create as many fills as you like.

All fills must be:
  • Set in the MCU and/or focused on the MCU versions of Steve and Tony (multiverse travel is permitted in any direction though)
  • All works must be focused on Steve and Tony. Non-Steve/Tony relationships or moresomes involving other characters (who are not a version of Steve or Tony) are not allowed. The goal of our community and these challenges is to create more Steve/Tony content.




SUBMITTING YOUR WORK

Once you've finished your piece, you must submit it to our AO3 Collection. Only work posted to the collection by May 31st (in any timezone) will be included in the final round-up.

You may request an AO3 account here. If you fear you won't receive an invitation on time, please contact us at cap.im.events@gmail.com.

You can then share your work wherever you want. If you're sharing your piece on Tumblr, please use the #capimwhatifmcu tag among the first 5 tags, so we can reblog it.

You can go to the Badge Claims post to pick up your badge for completing the challenge by leaving a new comment with the following information:
  • Your username
  • The link to your work (or links if you've made multiple pieces)

Fanvids:
I like ann2who's constructed reality vids - Say When in particular takes "what if Steve had been in Iron Man 2?" and runs with it.
Another what-if vid I love is Watching You by Firenstone, an Iron Man 3 AU that takes the idea of Extremis in a different, closer-to-the-comics direction, and tells the story really well in not even three and a half minutes.

Fanart:
What if we had gotten to see more of Steve's drawings in the movies? Petiteallemande's Steve's Sketches series has some nice Tony sketches that I could easily see coming from Steve. I particularly love this one, because it has this feeling of catching a moment where Tony was talking to somebody else, but the idea of Steve drawing Tony as he looked during their airport fight in Civil War is rather heartbreaking, too. And what the heck, I'll link the third one as well, because I love the arc reactor in it and Tony's expression.

Fanfic:
Favorable Winds (2056 words) by RurouniHime
Summary: Steve’s voice comes from behind, a sigh and a thump as his own pack hits the floor. “Sam. Meet Tony Stark.”
A post-CA:TWS what-if fic, told from Sam's POV, still captures a beautifully fraught scene between Tony and Steve.
we will meet in another life (6673 words) by theappleppielifestyle
Summary: Tony is there instead of Howard during Project Rebirth. He ends up following Steve into the Howling Commandos, into the Atlantic ocean and into the 21st century.
The summary says it all really. I could have done with some technobabble, suit-related explanation of how Tony was able to survive as well, but that might be the scientist in me.

What if Steve and/or Tony went through one of the portals to other realms in Thor 2?

What if Steve found out about Ultron before he became sentient and attacked?

What if Tony met Steve in NYC before the events of the Avengers?

What if Hank Pym contacted Steve or Tony to become Ant-man?

Hey there,

I'm not sure if I'll have the time with fanbingo and everything but might I run with the second idea? For a short story?

Hey, sorry I never filled your prompt. I didn't get around to it before going on holiday. But I'll let you know should I still write it. Might be a while. I just can't promise anything at the moment because I also have what feels like tons of WIPs to work on.

No worries, I've been there. Just let me know if you do ever get around to it.

What if..

..Tony and Steve have been in contact all along before IW, like right after CW and mostly during Homecoming (hence considered for the guest list at Tony’s NBA party) but they still working out their feelings so they meet regularly at different parts of the world (hence why Tony was always busy). During a fight when Steve hints at raising a kid Tony asks him to come home but Steve still disagrees with the Accords, things get ugly and Tony wanting stability gets engaged [poor Pep, collateral damage] and more angst then BOOM Tony wanted a baby suggested it to Pepper and she HESITATED. Tony then rmbrs how easily Steve despite everything genuinely wanted a family w Tony. Cue post IW dusting scene and reunion of Stony

YES! I love this. I was thinking: "What if Tony and Steve met secretly like Wanda and Vision and then things went to shit again". This is far, far better!

Private Steve gets outed

(Anonymous) 2018-05-09 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
What if Steve has been struggling with internalised homophobia and it took a long time for Tony to gain his trust esp getting Steve comfortable in bed. The keep their rship private from the rest but Clint being the vent prowler one day catches Steve and Tony in bed with Steve calling Tony “Daddy”, something Tony has always liked but Steve has always been shy until then. Clint jokingly makes a passing comment abt it in front of the team and Steve storms off, causing Tony to panic as he feels he broke Steve’s trust when he promised him their sex life will remain private. Clint feels terrible. Team as a family help both Steve and Tony come to terms w their rship. Happy ending!

What if.. he was the one that got away?

(Anonymous) 2018-05-29 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Steve spends his time wondering what life could have been if he stayed that night.The night he slept with Tony Stark after Loki and Thor returned to Asgard, didn’t stay til morning and never returned any of Tony’s calls. But when he heard Tony had (almost) died during the Mandarin attack, he realised Tony meant more than he allowed himself to believe. He met Tony after Tony tossed the reactor into the ocean and apologised for pushing Tony away but the timing was terrible. Tony couldn’t break Pepper’s heart, not after almost losing her to Extremis. They kiss but Tony walks away, tears on his cheeks. Broken hearted, Steve goes back to DC where the events of the WS took place. Tony calls Steve just before he breaks into the Triskelion and tells Steve to wait for him to help, Pepper overhears the convo and confronts Tony abt the true nature of his rship with Steve. Tony couldn’t make it in time but he found Steve by the river. After Steve recovers, he goes to Tony to thank him and tell him he’s going after Bucky. But Sam sensing how much Steve wanted to stay with Tony, offered to do the initial ground work, giving time for Steve and Tony to work things out. Happy ending leading up to AOU!

What if ... there’s no more Tony Stank?

(Anonymous) 2018-05-29 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Fluffffff pls.

Scene : post IW. Farm. Tony standing at the patio of the farmhouse holding a baby. FedEx van drives into the driveway. Delivery guy goes, “Is there a Tony Stank please?” Tony recognizes the man, and rolls his eyes. “Honey can you get that please? I’m holding [baby]. Jesus can’t he get it right...” Guess who comes out from the kitchen and corrects the delivery man with the RIGHT surname?
