Warnings: Graphic violence, torture, attempted suicide and related issues, death of OC, alcoholism, one scene of non-consensual kissing.
Notes: Please read the warnings and keep in mind that this is not a pleasant story. This is a story about pain and trauma and someone who struggles with it. Not a happy story. Many thanks to Kiyaar for being an awesome beta and putting up with all of my nonsense. Also thanks robintcj for the extra pair of eyes.
Fic Summary: When Tony gets captured by a sadistic alien who takes a shine to him, hurt and alone, he must deal with a ruthless tormenter as well as his guilt, fear and addiction.

When he finally makes it out alive, he is a physical and emotional mess and must face the temptation to use alcohol to quiet his demons whilst rebuilding his home, his relationships and himself.

Big Bang Masterpost: Never Too Late for Love

[sineala]

Title: Never Too Late for Love
Author: sineala
Artist: phoenixmetaphor
Universe: Ultimates
Rating (both fic and art): Explicit (fic); Teen (art)
Word Count: 98,059
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, canonical character death (not Steve or Tony), internalized homophobia, gay panic, cancer, people generally behaving badly. All Steve and Tony pairings in this story have explicit sex scenes; please note that this includes Steve/Gail, Steve/Jan, and Tony/Natasha in addition to Steve/Tony.
Notes: A soulmate AU, covering the timespan of Ultimates 1 & 2. Thanks to kiyaar for beta.

Fic Summary: Steve has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing -- a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch. Steve knows he's not going to be one of the lucky ones. He knows Gail isn't his soulmate. But he loves her, even if they're not soulmates, and he's going to do right by her. After the war's over, he's going to marry her, and they're going to settle down. They'll buy a house. They'll have children. He'll see his family again. Maybe Bucky will live next door. It's going to be a good life. He doesn't need a soulbond. He'll be fine without one.

Then Steve wakes up sixty years in the future to find that his wonderful life has moved on without him. His family is long dead. His fiancée married his best friend. And the only purpose he has left is leading the Ultimates, a misbegotten team of superheroes with flaws too numerous to count. Steve hates everything about the future -- but most of all he detests Tony, flashy and flirtatious, who embodies everything Steve hates about a world he never wanted to live in.

And, oh, yeah, Steve has a soulmate after all: Tony fucking Stark.

Friday: Fanwork Recs

[cap_ironman_daily]

It’s Friday, which means rec time! Each week, we're offering you the chance to submit your favourite fics and other fanworks for our two themes. Self-recs are welcome and of course you can still make new recs once Friday has passed!

This week, theme #1 is ‘RULE 63’ -- Also known as genderbending, we’re looking for recs where Steve and/or Tony are turned into women or have always been women (or a man, if we’re talking 3490). Or take it out of the binary entirely. Anything that turns gender and sex on their head!

Theme #2 is 'FAKE MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIP' -- A classic trope, whether Steve helps Tony pretend he has a boyfriend to get the family off his back, or Tony pretends to be married to Steve to avoid being thrown into jail on an alien planet. Naturally, both hopelessly pine after the other but are too afraid to bring it up until the heartbreak is on the horizon.

Please use the following format for your recs (you can just copy & paste this):

<strong>Title</strong>: <strong>Link</strong>: <strong>Author</strong>: <strong>Rating</strong>: <strong>Word Count</strong>: (Please note if it's a WIP) <strong>Universe</strong>: <strong>Relationship(s)</strong>: <strong>Warnings</strong>: There's no need to tag everything, but please heed at least the mandatory AO3 warnings for Rape/Non-Con, Dub-Con, Major Character Death, Underage and Graphic Violence. Also note if the author chose not to warn. <strong>Author summary</strong>: (Optional) <strong>Comment</strong>: Why do you rec this work?

Do you have a rec that doesn't fit either of the themes? Submit it to the general Stony Fic Rec Library, open 24/7!

Other great places for recs are:

• Bea Recs’ DW (you need to request access to these)


• Wingheadshellhead's tumblr FAQ


• Cap-IM's annual rec week

We also want to ask you to name themes for future Fanwork Rec Fridays, so pop into this post and leave us any suggestions! We'll use your ideas for sure (and of course give proper credit!). This and future posts will be tagged with Friday Fanwork Recs so if you ever want to go back to old themes, you can find them easily.

And now unto the fics!
