★ Across A Crowded Room by Sadisticsparkle for Lets_call_me_Lily (Noir, 1821 words)

On Christmas Eve 1870, Sheriff Steve Rogers arrests blacksmith Tony Stark for public drunkenness. Tony would do just about anything to get out. Anything at all.

Based on a prompt for the 2020 Cap-IronMan Community Gifts.

★ Been Alone Here by GotTheSilver for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 4572 words)

“I didn’t know you lived here,” Tony says before Steve can jump to conclusions. Not that Steve would. Or, at least, the Steve he used to know wouldn’t. “I retired, and Rhodey, he picked the place without me knowing, if it’s a problem, then—”

“Why would it be a problem?”

“Because I was an asshole.”

Steve smiles, a soft curve of his mouth that Tony was never able to resist. “You had a problem,” Steve says softly. “I don’t blame you.”

★ A Borrowed Body by dirigibleplumbing for Cap Iron Man Community (616, 7159 words)

After Steve shows up in San Francisco, Tony uses Extremis to make him strong and beautiful again. Tony wants sex in return, and Steve gives it to him—he owes this body to Tony, after all. Every month after that, he visits Tony to keep up his end of the bargain.

That will just have to be enough for him.

★ burnin' up for you babyby starksnack for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 3000 words)

Fire Captain Steve is selling pin-up calendars to raise money for a renovation. Of course, he has to knock on the door of his high school sweetheart.

Fuck.

(Yes they do.)

★ Cake It Till You Make It by ChocolateCapCookie for BladeoftheNebula (MCU AU, 10740 words)

Steve Rogers and Tony Stark have a lot in common. They're single parents, they own rival bakeries at the center of town... and they both hate each other's guts.

When a mix-up at Peter and Morgan's school has both fathers scrambling to prove they're the better baker, they do the mature, adult thing and compete in a bake-off. Between the mixing and the creaming, the baking and the icing, Steve and Tony find that hate is actually not that far from love.

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

★ Clarke's Three Laws by meshkol for dirigibleplumbing (Ultimates, 4306 words)

Tony's a staunch advocate of Clarke’s second and third law (though he thinks the first is utter bullshit). It takes a strange alien encounter for Tony to consider the possibility that the first is just as legitimate as the others.

★ color of your grave by Welcoming_Disaster for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel Contest of Champions), 1134 words)

Get over yourself, Rogers. Look at me, Cap. We’ll be out of this, Steve, before we know it. Are you new here, Winghead? You new here? Are you new here? Winghead, are you new here? Why aren’t you answering me, Steve? What’s going on, Cap? What’s going on, Rogers?

★ A Comedy of Errors by jellybeanforest for alexcat (MCU, 3706 words)

Tony Stark and Steve Rogers have been secretly dating for months when Tony suggests some light roleplaying: At the Stark Industries holiday party, they will pretend to be strangers, and Tony will pick him up. Steve is uncertain whether he is up for the task; he has never been particularly good at being undercover, but he will try for Tony’s sake.

Of course, Tony plans to humor him and his terrible acting – Steve is doing this for him, after all – but when the time comes, Steve proves to not only be a surprisingly good actor but also completely unresponsive to any of Tony’s attempts to pick him up. That’s okay; Tony will just have to work even harder to match Steve’s level of commitment.

Based on Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. For the 2020 Cap-IronMan Holiday Exchange.

★ The Culling of the Stars by dirigibleplumbing for frostfall (616, 9585 words)

Tony dies saving Steve's life on the courthouse steps. Now Steve is left with the fallout of their Civil War, expected to take charge and preserve Tony's legacy. He doesn't know how he can do it alone—not when he can't stop thinking about Tony, or keep track of the days, or even feel.

★ Dancing and Mistletoe under a Starry Night Sky by DepressingGreenie for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 1872, 656 words)

Tony doesn't expect to see the Sheriff at the Town dance

★ dearheart by starksnack for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 3490, 1000 words)

Natasha hands out nicknames like they're candy. They can't mean anything. So Steve tries giving her a loving nickname of his own. Feelings ensue.

★ don't want that living in your head by starksnack for Fluffypanda (Marvel's Avengers video game, 3000 words and art)

He’s dead. Steve still finds it hard to believe considering he’s standing alive and well at his own statue in Avengers Park a whole year after A-Day. It’s surreal to look down where they’re holding a vigil at his feet. He’s always hated how they got his nose wrong, it’s too perfect. His own nose is just a tad bit lopsided, but no one would guess because they think he’s the peak of human perfection. Or, he was.

A fic where Steve is dead but not really, his soul is just not in his body at the moment. Set during the five years between A-Day and Tony finding Steve on Ambrosia.

★ Don't You Like It? by marumo for zappedbysnow (Avengers Assemble, art)

Sleeveless shirts, in different styles ;)

★ Escalation (or: Five Times Tony Trained Steve) by viklikesfic for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 3668 words)

Tony’s alone in the workshop. Steve strides in and just spits it all out, like he’s facing a firing squad. Tony stares.
“You… want me to what, tutor you? In gay sex.”
Steve shrugs and looks as sheepish as he can in this hulking form. He tries to channel whatever had made Mrs. Finnegan in 2C forgive him so many times for causing a ruckus in the hallway, back in the day. Tony clearly doesn’t buy it.
“Wow. This has definitely never happened outside a homoerotic film,” Tony mutters. “I should probably record it for posterity.”
“Tony,” Steve groans. “Just show me. Like… I wanna be able to take a dick down my throat,” Steve admits, blushing but holding his ground. I wanna take your dick down my throat. Tony’s eyes narrow like he’s heard Steve’s thought somehow, and he looks a little hungry. ]

★ ever-aftering so happy by starksnack for Cap Iron Man Community (Iron Man: Armored Adventures, 1000 words)

Tony wakes Steve up with a kiss.

★ Everybody's got a hungry heart by Perlmutt for ShadowsintheClouds (MCU, 14,512 words)

Tony Stark has never experienced a true heat due to the suppressants he's taking on a daily basis. Society accepts him as a beta, together with his friends and teammates and the alpha he's secretly in love with.
But some things are just too big to be kept hidden forever.
An unfortunate turn of events forces Tony to reveal his biggest secret to the world...

★ The Exception by Neverever for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel AU, 642 words)

Steve sends a naked selfie to someone New Year's Eve.

★ Feels like home by masterlokisev159 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.

★ first date critters by starksnack for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 8311, art)

Iron Mouse and Captain Americat are getting ready for their first date together.

★ Gelid Feint by geekymoviemom for parkrstark (MCU, 4626 words)

Gelid: icy; extremely cold

Feint: a deceptive or pretended blow

Steve Rogers’ world had completely changed since he was discovered in the Arctic Ice. Not only had he led a team of actual superheroes to defend New York against an alien invasion, he had also found love, and the family he’d never dared to dream he could have.

So when Nick Fury asked Steve on a simple mission to retrieve materials from a hidden bunker, Steve thought nothing of it.

Until the demons he’d thought he had buried within the Red Skull’s airplane suddenly reappeared, and he was forced to face the one enemy he’d thought he had vanquished.

He had cut off one head, but now two more had taken its place.

★ Ghost Town by felisnocturna for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 1872, 607 words)

The rider has been going for a long time.

★ Head over heart by masterlokisev159 for starksnack (MCU, 12279 words)

Tony wakes up in the hospital with amnesia, only to discover he's pregnant. He doesn’t remember anything since the battle of New York including the name of the father of his child. Both Captain America and Tiberius Stone are claiming to be his alpha and they're not willing to budge.

What does he do? More importantly, how does he decide?

Whoever he chooses, he just hopes he's right. God, he hopes he's right.

★ Hell on Earth by alexcat for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 1872, 855 words)

In a town called Timely, Sheriff Rogers does something he regrets.

★ Highs and Lows by ChocolateCapCookie for Nixie_DeAngel (MCU, 2626 words)

There were always perks to having gotten the serum, but at times like this, Steve wondered if his life would have been easier if he’d just stayed a normal, un-powered human being.

But then again, if he hadn’t done that, he wouldn’t have met Tony, so he supposed it was all worth it, really.

Steve and Tony return from a mission and live domestically ever after.

★ Honey, you've got a big storm coming by lomku for Cap Iron Man Community (616, 1261 words)

For the prompt: "Superior Iron Man and Hydra Cap, together at last"

★ i almost fell right through (but i held onto you) by hollyandvice for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 15366 words)

There's no way Thor doesn't know what his answer will be. Still, he asks. "You are going to do this, are you not?"

Steve turns away. "I need to make a call."

After six years of trying and failing to find Tony post-Endgame, Steve finally gets the news that there's a chance to save him. The cost is steep, but Steve is willing to pay it. The only question is, is Tony willing?

An Orpheus and Eurydice style Endgame fix-it fic.

★ I Am the Night by gottalovev for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel, 6013 words)

That's it. Tony is doomed. He rolls on his back, crosses his wings over his belly and closes his eyes. He'll await death here, misunderstood by the world to the bitter end.

★ I Don't Like the Lie by littleblackbow for Neverever (Avengers Assemble, Comic)

Steve and Tony have been pretending to be married to be heroes and allies (and because their accountants stressed the financial advantages of marriage).

However, Steve Rogers... Captain America... does not like the idea of misleading the public, and he wants to end the farce.

★ I Know A Place We Can Hide by Nixie_DeAngel for DepressingGreenie (MCU, 1216 words)

Steve slumps, falls really, down against the bed, a groan of pain slipping out as his body bounces slightly against the mattress. Taking a measured, controlled breath, he shifts slowly in an attempt not to aggravate his ribs. It takes a moment but he brings a hand up, carefully prods along his left side — and yeah, at least one or two are definitely cracked on that side.

★ I Might by gottalovev for Lacerta (MCU, 2894 words)

[The break-up with Pepper wasn't easy but Tony is honestly enjoying his new freedom. He believes he's done with love for good. It figures that's when he realizes that Steve is interested.]

★ i'll wait in line (always) by frostfall for MK_Yujji (MCU, 8886 words)

“I think it’s a great idea.”

Steve does a double-take at that. In fact, everyone’s staring at Tony in puzzlement. Except for Natasha but that's hardly surprising. Nothing fazes her.

What's surprising is Tony's reaction. The Tony in front of them can’t be the same Tony who has to be dragged or hauled out of his workshop for meals or gatherings, let alone galas and big parties. For him to willingly agree to be set up on blind dates by his friends is a huge breakthrough.

A breakthrough Steve hates but a breakthrough nonetheless.

(Or the five Avengers who set Tony up on a blind date and the one Avenger who ends up being Tony's blind date.)

★ In the Cowbird's Nest by CaughtAGhost for lomku (616, 27157 words and art)

cowbird: brood parasites, which lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species.

("CW Tony is a skrull. Steve finds out. Will he manage to save Tony?")

★ In This Valley of Strange Humors by jellybeanforest for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 4626 words)

Steve calls Tony on the emergency flip phone with worrying frequency. After a pep talk from Bucky who expresses the team’s concerns, Steve decides to end it.

Based on a prompt for the 2020 Cap-IronMan Community Gifts.

★ It's Perfect Power by hollyandvice for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 2607 words)

The light dissipates as quickly as it had come, and Tony gets to his feet as soon as it does. He's seeing stars and he can hear Bucky shouting from behind him, but he needs to get to Steve, needs to make sure that he's okay, that the damn artifact hasn't hurt him or worse. He makes his way halfway over to the couch, stumbling blindly with a vicious, vindictive sort of relief for his nights of drunken stupor that make it all too easy to find his way to the couch. He's almost to Steve's side when he gets a good look at the gaping expression on Steve's face and the hint of tears in his eyes.

"Mom?"

When Sarah Rogers appears in Tony's lab, both of her boys need her more than they ever thought. And maybe, so does one other lost little boy that just needs a mother's love.

★ Jailbreak by felisnocturna for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 1872, 1787 words)

Steve, recently returned to his Sheriff duties after recovering from a nearly fatal gunshot wound, is hoping for a quiet christmas eve. Thanks to one Tony Stark, things don't go quite the way he expected.

★ Just A Kiss by alexcat for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 1851 words)

After the Battle for Earth, Steve needs to take care of Tony.

★ Just Asking (you out) by venusiaries for muchmoremajestic (Avengers Academy, art)

Steve forgets to tell Tony that their trip to the arcade is, in fact, a date.

★ Just Walk Away by hollyandvice for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 2180 words)

The next time he opens his eyes, there's pain in the middle of his chest. It's heavy and familiar and distant all at once, but it hurts, god, does it hurt.

(Your heart, the voice says. It's your heart. He doesn't think that means what he thinks it does.)

After Siberia, Tony only survives thanks to Extremis. The catch? He loses all his memories, including the fact that he was engaged to Steve Rogers.

★ Keep This to Myself by ishipallthings for gottalovev (MCU, 1288 words)

It had started last New Year’s Eve when Tony had gotten drunk on Thor’s mead and woken up in the workshop to a list of resolutions he hadn’t remembered making. They had ranged from ‘convince Clint to dye his hair purple for a week’ to ‘set honeybear up on a blind date with Carol’, and most of them had been completely ridiculous. One caught his attention though:

Kiss Steve Rogers before midnight next New Year’s Eve.

★ Like A House on Fire by Neverever for Sadisticsparkle (Noir, 4856 words)

Bored and restless, Tony Stark goes to a party and meets Roger Stevens. Who turns out to be nothing like Tony expected.

★ like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for by Thahire for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 4844 words)

Tony’s hand continued to travel along Steve’s front, narrowly avoiding his nipples, which were suddenly hard under the starched material of the dress shirt. His hand ended up square over Steve’s heart, where he wiggled his fingers contemplatively. The smirk playing around his lips didn’t bode well for Steve.

“With a matching red pocket square,” Tony said finally, his gaze lingering on Steve’s chest, “so that everybody knows you’re my kept man.”

“That’s hilarious,” Steve replied, once he felt calm enough to talk, and turned away before Tony could see his cheeks turn red.

Or: Tony takes Steve suit-shopping, there's a lot of pining, and then they have sex in Tony's car.

★ A Little Bit of Christmas by kickcows for talesofsuspense (MCU, 10911 words)

All of the Avengers head home for the holidays, while Steve stays up at the compound by himself. Tony invites him to return to the Avengers Tower with him, which Steve knows he can’t say no to. Set after the events of A:AoU and prior to the events of Civil War.

★ A little more conversation, a little less action, please by avengersandco 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.

★ Look at This Photograph by airplanejam for captainstars (616, 3661 words)

Every photo taken of Steve and Tony just seems to turn out that way, no matter what Steve does.

★ making the most of the night by frostfall for Cap Iron Man Community(Marvel's Avengers video game, 4780 words)

December 28th, 2.48pm

“I’m gonna do it!” Tony calls as he shoots a rocket at a beekeeper.

“Do what?” Kate yells, nocking an arrow.

“I’m gonna kiss Steve when the ball drops!”

★ Make You Feel My Love by HogwartsToAlexandria for wingheads (MCU, 1320 words)

★ Man or Machine? by talesofsuspense for madnerding (MCU, art)

In which the Stark Industries android, Iron Man, and Captain America exist at the same time.

★ maybe if i stand still enough by starksnack for jellybeanforest (MCU, 3000 words)

"Mr. Stark is on his way down, should I tell him you’re here?” Jarvis asks.

Steve hadn’t asked to try on the suit and Tony hates it when people touch his stuff. He’d be pissed to learn that Steve had not only been in the workshop while he wasn’t there, but had tried on the suit as well. The suit and Tony were one! What did that mean that Steve got into it without asking?

Rushing to the display case, Steve steps inside, turning around and stilling like a statue. “Jarvis, pretend I’m not here!”

Steve gets stuck in the suit, it goes better than expected.

★ me, my selfie, and i by perforatedsanity and starksnack for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 2563 words)

5 Times Steve Shocked the World + 1 Time Tony Helped

★ Meeting the Sheriff under the Mistletoe by Fluffypanda for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 1872, 169 words)

“Well, Sheriff?” Tony said, eyes drifting upward to the bunch of mistletoe pinned to the door above them.

★ A Merry Little Christmas alexcat for tunastork (MCU, 3360 words)

All of the Avengers are at the Tower for Christmas and love is in the air for two of them.

★ Never know how much I love you, Never know how much I care by Fluffypanda for geekymoviemom (MCU, 2287 words)

Steve and Tony just started dating and everything is perfect...right?

★ No Place to Go by GotTheSilver for kowaiyoukai (MCU, 6829 words)

“Been a hell of a year.”

“It has,” Steve agreed. “But we made it through. That’s something.”

“And at least I know Christmas won’t be spent trying to take down a terrorist this year.”

Steve laughs softly, watching the lights from the tree play over Tony’s face, making his eyes seem even warmer than they usually are. He’s not an idiot, he’s lived with this low level attraction to Tony for years, but ever since Tony came back to the team it’s grown. After Ultron, Steve missed Tony without even realising it. He’d come visit, bringing new tech and uniforms, and stealing off Steve’s plate when they all ate, but it wasn’t the same.

And then Steve got kidnapped and Tony put the suit back on to lead the team in rescuing him.

★ No Training Wheels Left for You by ralsbecket for ChocolateCapCookie (MCU, 3498 words)

True to Howard’s word, the Starks never stepped foot into the MGM Grand again – that is until Tony’s purposeful check-ins during his Las Vegas stays, more out of spite than anything else. Along the same lines, Tony never saw Steve again, either. He didn’t even know his last name. The only things Tony had to remember the skinny, blond kid by were the light scars that formed on his knees from the fall.

Or, the one where Steve and Tony are best friends for a summer and find each other again years later

★ Not about the Christmas tree by Lacerta for kickcows (MCU, 1764 words)

"Tomorrow, Tony," Steve clasps Tony's shoulder and smiles, and Tony melts a little bit and finds himself nodding before the words can fully register. "Meet me at ten, we're going to find us a perfect Christmas tree."

★ On Instinct by HogwartsToAlexandria for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 913 words

Community Gift for prompt 426 - Alpha Tony tops Alpha Steve. Steve didn’t think that he would ever enjoy bottoming, but he does. He thinks it has everything to do with it being Tony, the man he loves, the man he married, the man he trusts with his life and more.

★ On One Condition by elwenyere for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 7662 words)

When someone calls in a hit on billionaire Tony Stark, Steve Rogers is assigned to protect him.

A Community Gift for the Cap-IM Holiday Exchange!

★ on the inherent homoeroticism of cake decoration by Welcoming_Disaster for airplanejam (616, 8191 words)

“She’s matchmaking, Barton,” Carol sighed.
“We,” Thor corrected, thumping himself hard in the chest, “art matchmaking.”
“Who, Cap n’ Tony?” Clint asked, his mouth full.
“Cap and Tony,” Janet confirmed, cutting herself a thin slice of egg and gently depositing it on her whole grain avocado toast, “it’s getting ridiculous.”
“Wait, I thought they were—“ Clint frowned, glancing around the room as though to confirm. Nothing but confused faces met his questioning gaze. “Huh. I really thought they were fucking.”
“And there is the crux of the issue,” Jess licked a bit of spaghetti sauce off her lip.
“Aye,” agreed Thor, “there’s rub.”

-----------

The team tries to set up Steve and Tony. Things don't go as planned.

★ Open Secret by hollyandvice for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 2939 words)

★ Operation Get Together by DepressingGreenie for littleblackbow (Avengers Assemble, 4444 words)

(Or the five times the Avengers tried to get them together, and the one time it worked.)

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

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

★ Paper Bag by ironmanwithaplan for CaughtAGhost (616, 2614 words)

His gaze lands on something creeping out from the almost-shadows. There’s one tendril pressed into the wall like a brand, only slightly darker than everything else. Then another tendril. It’s not until they’re parallel to the symbol itself that Tony recognizes the icon before him.

Something shifts in his chest. His eyes widen a smidge, and though he feels his hands shaking, he looks down to find the suit gauntlets situated perfectly still at his sides.

Tony hears crinkling behind him— the crinkling of a paper bag, presumably brown, and presumably housing two sesame seed bagels. He pauses to look back, and there stands Steve.

★ A Paw-fect Encounter by BladeoftheNebula for Perlmutt (MCU, 5256 words)

★ A Recording by misomilk for venusiaries (MCU, 6911 words)

★ sometimes it’s easy by gwenpoole for lmao_thunder (Marvel’s Avengers, 1139 words)

When Kamala is invited for a secret gift exchange and dinner in the helicarrier, she mostly expected a pleasant evening. Or possibly being attacked by aliens or some sort of villain. That's until Tony receives his gift.

Merry Christmas lmao_thunder , it's short and sweet and I hope you like it! I wish you a safe and happy holidays.

★ song of a wintery fairyland by gottalovev for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, 3347 words)

"Just act normal," Steve says to his reflection in the rearview mirror.

He decided on the drive over that it would be his mantra for the visit. Just act normal. No need to spill feelings everywhere, not yet.

(Post-Endgame AU where Tony lives, and Steve and Tony have fully reconciled. FLUFF.)

★ spilling the beans by Lets_call_me_Lily for Cap Iron Man Community (Marvel 3490, 200 words)

Even before marrying Natasha, Steve knew: you never got between her and her coffee.

Clint still hasn't realised this, somehow.

★ The Steve Rogers problem by njava97 for ABrighterDarkness (MCU, 8160 words)

Tony Stark is sure he's not in love with Steve Rogers. That would be absurd. And preposterous. It's just that seeing him upset makes him want to fix it by any means necessary. And maybe he also wants to hold Steve’s hand and take him out on dates and travel the world with him. Which is totally normal okay? Steve just has a very holdable hand. But when Steve asks him to visit the children's hospital with him, Tony isn't prepared to witness how good Steve is with kids. As Steve opens up to him more, convincing himself he's not in love might have just gotten a little harder.

★ stolen kisses by eriot and starksnack for Cap Iron Man Community (MCU, art)

★ take me home for christmas by parkrstark for avengersandco (MCU, 10755 words)

"He's gonna have to meet my dad. And--and, I can't be his boyfriend. He has to come as a friend." God forbid Howard knew he was bisexual.

"But he's okay with that. He said that was fine."
Tony scoffed. "Doesn't mean he should be. He's not my dirty secret. I don't want to hide him."

Or, the one where Tony and Steve meet each other's parents for the first time. Sarah and Joseph support them unconditionally, but Howard...he's a different story.

★ take my breath away by hollyandvice 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?
