summary: They move like magnets, pushing and pulling as they tear each other apart, discovering and exploring until they are a natural disaster on the brink of destruction, and then, like a calm before a storm, they begin to understand, and as they discover themselves, they learn how to be catastrophic together.

Or, Steve and Tony are absolutely wretched at being secret boyfriends, so they learn how to be friends, and, somehow, they trip into love, stumbling through Steve coming to terms with being gay, Tony trying to hide his twisted life, and too much parties, sex, and yoga that any sane person would fall apart, and yet, here they are, magnets drawn together.
warning(s): college au, language, sex, angst, Tony has issues, Tony’s kind of a slut, Steve is also kind of a slut, non-explicit dubcon, physical abuse, canon minor character death, substance abuse, Steve and Tony don’t get together until sophomore year, a lot of yoga, probably too many party scenes, too much sexual tension, mentions of past self abuse, Tony has legit medical issues, homophobia
dedication: This is for one of my best friends, Erin.  She has rolled on the ground with me, danced with me, laughed with me, cried with me, and screamed with me.  She has been there for every word of this story, and she is the only reason it’s still going strong.  She is the reason many of my fics get written, but this is the one I’ll always think about when I think of her.  Thank you, my little queen.

A/N: This is an ongoing epistolary serial in the classic sense of a serial, updated between 7 and 10 am Eastern Time daily with at least one new letter a day. For those of you who are hesitant to read "in-progress" fic-- this is a completed fic of about 550 chapters that is intended to be read serially, so no reason to worry that it's suddenly going to go belly-up. This is a mixed-media fic that occasionally includes comics, illustrations, photos, etc.
Summary: When Tony Stark moved into the Avengers' quarters in Stark Tower, he very quickly made enemies…until Steve Rogers accidentally made friends.

That was almost six months ago, and they're still exchanging letters. It's Valentine's Day. Tony's planned an OTT surprise, but someone's spying on the Avengers via hacked security systems...

It's all on A03.

Fic: No Black and White in the Blue, Chapter Five

[dragonofmemory]

Title: No Black and White in the Blue
Chapter Five
By: Memory Dragon
Characters: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov/Ults Tony Stark, slight Tony/Tony, Clint Barton, Thor, Bruce Banner, Rhodey, Pepper Potts, Ults Steve
Warnings: Please note Ults Tony Stark is a self-professed higher functioning alcoholic. According to canon he's also had a few suicide attempts, and he does think about and doesn't quite care as much as he should about some of the fatal consequences of drinking too much. Keep that in mind, if you are unfamiliar with Ults and this is a problem for you. Also, there's a lot of talk about grief and the (off-screen) death of a child. The child's death was a little on the gruesome side, but there are no real descriptions of the event. Again, just take into consideration your own comfort levels. Finally, this fic was written in order to kill iloome through feels. That stated, there are a lot of feels. Really, a lot. I'm told they're pretty effective. Don't say I didn't warn you if you become collateral damage.
Rating: PG 13
Summary: Anthony Stark just wants to drink and contemplate his failures in peace. Unfortunately, Antonio Stark chose just that moment to appear. Now Tony has to deal with an alternate version of himself, the tension between him and Steve, and the differences between the dimensions on top of everything else.

But the biggest monster maybe too much for even two Tonys to stop...
Notes: Okay, so there's more suicide idealization and talk of the effects of alcohol in this chapter, so be prepared for that.  Also, there's a lot of hand-wavy medical science and talk of nanites.  Which, I'm pretty sure the comic book writers don't know what the nanites do, so I'm just taking that as my leave to make stuff up as I go along.  Finally, there is angst in the chapter.  Lots of angst.  Don't say I didn't warn you.

Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three and Chapter Four on lj.
Or this chapter on AO3.
