Question

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Hi, everyone.

I'm one of those clueless newbies who's getting into the comics after seeing the movie, and I've been reading tons of Iron Man and Avengers back issues trying to untangle all that canon. But there's one really basic thing I haven't managed to discover yet: when and did the original Avengers (and Steve in particular) discover that Tony Stark is Iron Man? I've been digging through the digital archives on Marvel's site trying to find out, but no luck so far. :-(

ETA: Woo-hoo, thanks everyone! When I asked my question, I had no idea it was going to come with a bonus doze of nearly naked Tony! Gotta love that cracky Marvel canon.

Fic - The Breaths We Take (Parts I and II)

[atomicskull.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, I'm back with another long one-shot! :) This one's shorter than the 13k word thing though, so that's good news.

This was meant to be a prequel to my other super long one-shot (Mouth/Eyes), and it still is in a way, but it's also a sort of retelling of the Avengers history, as told through the Steve/Tony relationship, although this got wildly away from cannon and became something totally different, although most major cannon is still there. It starts from the beginning - Tony's origin - and progresses a year each section, ending with Civil War (slightly after it). I went with the 4 real years = 1 Marvel year thing, which makes both Steve and Tony on the young side when this starts (around 23 and 25).

Title: The Breaths We Take
Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Carol Danvers, Jan van Dyne, Hank Pym, Clint Barton.
Rating: R
Fandom: The Avengers. (Very fucked up cannon/vaguely fudged timeline. See Part I intro for more on that.)
Warnings: Surprise, surprise, angst! Lots of it! And some super depressing bits, and some off-panel sex. Also, the big bad: character death (Civil War does occur in this fic the way it does in the comics).
Word Count: ~ 9,600
Disclaimer: No own, no profit. 'Tis all good.

Part I : “Score. I’ll be back… same bat-time, same bat-channel, right after my bat-shower!”

Part II : “Do tell how you seduced Captain freakin’ America. I’m rather interested.”.
