A/N: There's no chance I'll be able to finish this entire fic before Original Sin takes it and tosses it off the nearest cliff, so I decided to put this part up first.

This fic is nearly incomprehensible if you are not following/are unfamiliar with Hickman's current run on Avengers (vol 5), New Avengers (vol 3), and the Infinity event. It uses no canon published past New Avengers #12.

These info posts could probably serve in a pinch if you need to know what's going down in 616 right now, although they admittedly only cover up to New Avengers #3: 1, 2, 3.

Summary: The Time Gem appears not when it is wanted, but when it is needed. Steve learns this the hard way.

(Or: an Infinity #6 AU where Thane refuses his birthright and the Avengers are doomed - until the Time Gem shows up within Captain America's grasp.)

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.

Title: The Captain and His Courtesan
Author winterstar
Rating: Explicit
Genre/Characters: AU, drama, revolution, world building, Tony/Steve, Tony, Steve, Thor, Clint, Natasha, Bruce, the gang’s all here (visitors from 616 but not a 616 based story)
Word Count: 120 k and counting
Fandom: MCU, Captain America, Iron Man, The Avengers, Thor
Warnings: see tags for story
Summary: A story of revolution. Captain Steve Rogers is just trying to pay off his debt to SHIELD, carting cargo from the Rim worlds to the Inner Belts in his bucket of bolts ship, the Howling Commando. But the universe has a different plan for the once highly decorated Captain of the Honor Guard. The universe drops a Courtesan by the name of Tony Stark into his life. What ends up being a simple commission puts his crew in jeopardy and could change all of humanity, because the Courtesan is not really just a pretty face and the Captain of the Honor Guard can fall in love far too easily with a man of conviction - and Tony Stark is a man of conviction.
