It's been a busy time at Cap-Iron Man, and with two events just around the corner it looks like there will be plenty to do in the SteveTony fandom for the next few months! Writers and artists are wrapping up their Big Bang entries (see the fanworks below for links to the works that have posted so far) and the holiday exchange is in full swing with a deadline scheduled for 7pm PDT Wednesday, December 18th (10pm Eastern, 3am Thursday UTC). If you have questions about your assignment, please check the extended FAQ or contact the mods via email, tumblr or lj. If you would like to sign up as a pinch-hitter for the Exchange, please email cap.im.mods@gmail.com by December 18 as well. Gifts will begin to be revealed on the weekend of the 26th. See this post for more information about pinch hits, dropping, author reveals and more. If you're not participating in the exchange but still want to do something holiday-themed, checkout the #12daysofstevetony on tumblr!

STONY Bingo is still open for anyone who wants to try their hand at completing a line (or more!) before January 31st, and soon we'll have both the new Remix Challenge and the Reverse Bang kicking off with official schedules, rules, chats and inspiration posts. Remix Sign-ups will start January 1st and go through January 10th. More information about the schedule can be found in this post. Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] navaan, [livejournal.com profile] capneverever and @downeyjraddict for taking on moderation of the Remix Challenge, and also to @goddramit, [livejournal.com profile] iloome and @kteaanne for volunteering their time for the Reverse Bang.

Housekeeping this month includes a reminder about tagging for community posts on livejournal. All fanwork posts should be tagged for creator's name, universe, challenge (if applicable) and rating, and we also encourage genre and type of fanwork tags (fic/art/fanmix etc). We have recently added a fix-it genre tag, and can add new creator tags upon request. For anyone interested in either being or finding a beta, we are compiling an updated beta reader list in this post. Also, we're accepting any ideas or submissions people have for new moments (we've missed a lot over the last few years!) in this post on lj, and in the #slashy moments list tag on tumblr for comics, AA, EMH, and the MCU. If you know a good gifset or photoset or want to make one of your own favorite stevetony moments, feel free to show us. Or just tag it on tumblr!

In Marvel news, the new Captain America: Civil War trailer dropped a few weeks ago, Invincible Iron Man is going strong with 4 issues so far, Bendis has released the cover of issue #8, and has given an interview and released art about an upcoming Marvel Event, Civil War II. The Avengers Academy game is inspiring lots of art on tumblr (character descriptions and the game trailer can be found here), and Marvel also released an animated special for the holiday season, Marvel Super Hero Adventures: Frost Fight! You can read about it and watch the trailer here.

Most of the fanworks in the community these last few months have focused around the Big Bang Challenge, but we do have some other fanworks to share as well. If you'd like to peruse the impressive array of fics and art created for the challenge you can find them below, or in the AO3 Collection here.

Title: Second Nature chapters 2 and 3/10
Author winterstar on AO3
Rating: Explicit
Genre/Characters: AU, angst, hurt/comfort, Tony/Steve, the gang is all here, twice over, a/b/o dynamics
Word Count: Chapters 1-3 16K out of ~70k total
Fandom: MCU, Captain America, Iron Man, The Avengers, Thor
Warnings: AU, angst, non graphic non-con, partially period piece (read it you’ll understand what I mean)

Summary: Tony's world shatters in increments. An assassination attempt nearly kills him, but that isn't what's tearing him apart - it's losing Steve to his omega nature - to the warrior rage, to the need to find the assassins and destroy them. The people behind the assassination attempt have other plans - plans that could break Tony's and Steve's newly formed alpha-omega bond.

Tony and Steve may be only just starting on their journey together as bondmates, but their souls have been intertwined for centuries...is their fate sealed? Will they suffer what's happened in the past or will they and their bond survive?
