Donate-a-Prompt (May)



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.

If you need resources:



Let us know if you have another great resource for prompts not listed here. In case you create something based on these prompts, be sure to link to them here so we can all read them! Or maybe post a short fill directly in the comments!

The Bachelor AU

So you probably have seen the Bachelor: Tony Stark Edition going around in tumblr? Maybe someone can write it with Steve and Tony ending up together? There are other versions popping out and it's usually everybody else but Steve 😖

AoU Stony, Sam POV

just imagining a scene where Tony finishes up in the lab to get ready for the party and drops by Steve’s room for some sexy time (bottom Steve please, just because) and the visiting Sam walks into Steve’s apartment and sees in on a tie and jacket on the floor, then hears Steve moaning and thinks he’d walk into Steve with a lady friend and apparently his usually straight laced friend has a kink. Only during the party does he put two and two together after noticing Tony’s tie..

Tony is the one with internalized homophobia

There's a fair few fics where Steve is dealing with internalized homophobia, but what if it were Tony? There's a lot of evidence that Steve's background in the 30's was very liberal--he's from a lower-class immigrant family, came of age during the New Deal, went to art school, had no problem working with women in the military, worked with an integrated unit in the military, etc. There were gay clubs, bars, and bathhouses in NYC at the time Steve was growing up that Steve could have explored. In 616 he's from the Lower East Side, which was already a very queer-friendly neighborhood, and he was close friends with a gay man (Arnie Roth). In 616 and MCU he went to art school--which at the time could very well have been all-male--where he also probably met a lot of out and proud gay men. Also, if at any point MCU Steve had a relationship with Bucky (or wanted one) he may have already worked through any homophobia in his background by the time he woke up in the 21st century. (The only Steve none of this would really work for is the one from Ultimates.)

Whereas there's a lot of evidence in both 616 and the MCU that Howard Stark had very rigid ideas about masculinity and was probably homophobic himself. And if Tony was born in the 70's (which he was in the MCU, and could conceivably have been in 616 depending on what timeframe you want you use) that means he was also coming of age in the 80's during the AIDs crisis, which brought its own kind of homophobia.

(I've thought about this a lot and am not writing it myself because I'm not queer and I don't think it's appropriate for me to write about sexuality-based oppression as the focus of a story that way, but if you want to message me about it I'm dirigibleplumbing on tumblr.)
