It’s the ninth day of reveals! Each day we will be revealing gifts created by 2020 Cap-Iron Man Holiday Exchange and Community Gifts Event participants. The gifts will remain anonymous until January 11th, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the works and guess the identities of creators. (Remember, if you've got a work in the collection, please remain anonymous until after creator reveals!)

Here are today’s gifts!

---

★ Artifices of the Mind for ironmanwithaplan (616, 15,100 words)

Hydra Steve Rogers infects AI Tony Stark with a virus that makes it impossible to differentiate between reality and imagination. Caught between his hallucinations and a nightmarish reality, Tony dreams, and loses himself.

★ Captain Monkey goes Bananas for drunkonwriting (MCU, 1437 words)

Natasha and Steve discuss FEELINGS. Natasha is absolutely not matchmaking and Clint can't prove otherwise.

★ Feels like home for Cap Iron Man Community (616, 4797 words)

Steve is, maybe, completely in love with Iron man. Which is why he knows stuff like what Iron man does and says and smells like. Yes, he knows that too. So it’s no surprise when, while sparring with Tony Stark, he realizes he smells just like Iron man. What could that possibly mean?

A story where Steve confesses his love, gets rejected, and confesses his love all over again to someone he never would've imagined confessing to. Not everything is always as it seems.

★ A little more conversation, a little less action, please for misomilk (MCU, 1921 words)

Tony is worried about catching feelings with his friends with benefits. Steve isn’t quite on the same page as him though.

★ our kind of striptease for Cap Iron Man Community (616, 2913 words)

Steve hates seeing Iron Man lose his armor, until he doesn't.

★ take my breath away for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 2071 words)

Steve can feel his whole body curling in on itself, can feel the way everything is caving in around him, and as he drifts off to unconsciousness, Steve's last thought isn't the kind of joy he'd expected to experience upon discovering his soulmate.

Instead, his last thought is how does Tony even breathe like this?

★ three o'clock for Cap Iron Man Community (Ultimates, 3000 words)

Secretary of Defense Tony Stark has a standing appointment with President Steve Rogers every Friday afternoon at three. They get up to some shenanigans in the Oval Office.

★ A Timely Christmas for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 1872, 1369 words)

The sheriff hauls a drunk Tony into his jail on Christmas Eve. Things go a little different than he thought they would.

★ ugly sweaters [FANART] for njava97 (MCU, Art)

steve and tony's first christmas as a couple

★ what's a fanfic? for Cap Iron Man Community (Avengers Academy, 1000 words)

Kamala introduces Tony and Steve to the world of fanfiction. There is a surprising amount of content about them being gay.

★ A Whiff of Excitement on the Home Front for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel Noir, 2330 words)

Steve meets Tony Stark for the first time - and it's not for the last time.

★ You, Me and a Christmas Tree for marumo (Avengers Assemble, 1487 words)

It's their first Christmas after returning from Battleworld, and Steve is afraid.
