cap_ironman | Marvelling: A Noir Flash Exchange Masterpost

So many first meetings! So many artistic Steves accompanying Tony on his adventures! So many Capwolf prompts! Bask in the glory of all the new Marvel Noir Stevetony works that have been revealed 🖤

The Marvelling: A Noir Flash Exchange has been revealed.

We have a wonderful 28 works for this exchange — thank you to everyone who took part. You do not need to fill out a Cap-IM Universe Medley Fest Prize Claims form for participating in this exchange. Simply turn up at the monthly round-up to collect your badge(s)!

If you feel inspired or you’re on a Marvel Noir roll, don’t forget that you can still take part in the Universe Medley Fest by creating something and sharing it with the

cap_ironman community before the end of July 15th.

While we were almost matched in writers and creators of other mediums, 99% people defaulted to fic. Assigning people so that the worktype they created a gift should be different to the worktype of the gift they received, but leaving the it up to everyone to decide which medium to create in, was an ultimately failed experiment. However, I hope that everyone who took part had fun creating and that you all enjoy your gifts nonetheless! As an extra thank you—there’s a treat from me to each of you in the collection 💜

And now, without further ado, here are all the Marvelling: A Noir Flash Exchange gifts and treats! (click to expand)

⭐ and twine your life to mine (250 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for gottalovev

“They think we’re together romantically,” Tony hissed in Steve’s ear as he stepped in close to tie a gold sash around his wrists. “Just go along with it.”

Tony keeps running into this Cap fellow on his missions in Europe. Why does it seem like he knows Tony personally?

⭐ close encounters (3960 words, T) by Red for Sadisticsparkle

As the cold of night sets in over the Canadian wilderness, the Marvels team are lucky to find a small cabin in which to shelter.

Problem is, there's only one bed.

⭐ come taste the wine (689 words, T) by Fluffypanda for oluka

Tony went looking for a stiff drink and some company for the evening as soon as he’d made it out of the mountains. Half a year working for Fury and Tony couldn’t put Latveria far enough behind him.

⭐ hold fast my heart (100 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for ishipallthings

“Mr. Stark, you really didn’t need to do that.” But of course he did.

⭐ i still love you (now and then). (3017 words, T) by frostfall for Cathalinaheart

When Tony's rescued from the clutches of Nazis, the last person he expects it to be is Captain America. After all, Cap always made his hatred for Tony obvious.

Then he finds out who it is under the cowl.

⭐ In Good Company (330 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for oluka

Captain America meets (rescues) Iron Man.

⭐ Join Us (we have Tony Stark!) (216 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for frostfall

He strode to the door, ready to give Fury a tongue-lashing. “I’ve already told you, Nick, I’m not gonna join your damned Avenge—” the last word petered out into silence as he gaped at the man in front of him.

⭐ Kabaret Encounter (335 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for Sadisticsparkle

It’s the Brille Kabaret, it’s after midnight on a Wednesday, and Steve is slightly tipsy. He's waiting for Byron Ironsides to show up.

⭐ Legendary Ride (155 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for Red

This one is definitely going in Marvels: A Magazine of Men's Adventure. As soon as they've recovered from their unexpected flight.

⭐ let me trace the lines (3000 words, T) by starksnack for Red

Steve Rogers is the new cover artist for Marvels: A Men's Magazine of Adventure, and Tony maybe kinda thinks he's cute.

Tony and Steve head into the jungle looking for something.

⭐ miles to go before we sleep (300 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for navaan

The Iron Man is a very small ship; it’s really only equipped to sleep two. Somehow the five of them manage.

⭐ One Night in Finland (2224 words, G) by Neverever for frostfall

Tony and Captain America are stuck in a cabin when their jeep dies during a snowstorm. The situation would be better if Tony wasn't so annoyed with Cap.

⭐ [Podfic] Cover Artist (16:34 minutes, T) by Cathalinareads (Cathalinaheart) for ishipallthings

There is a folder on his desk with art for Marvels. Pepper hasn't said anything about it, but the one she has sorted to lie on top is probably the best thing he has seen in years. The name attached to it is “Steve Rogers” and it's not the last time that he comes across that name.

⭐ right there all along (comic, G) by starksnack for Neverever

Tony searches high and low to find Steve.

⭐ Same Light, In Slow Motion (2117 words, T) by ishipallthings for Neverever

Drawing Tony Stark as the adventurer who fears nothing and no one, the hero of Marvels, has never been a problem for Steve. But there’s something about Tony in his quieter moments, when he’s standing still just long enough for Steve to try and read him, something that Steve can’t quite decipher.

(Or: Love, and how Steve learns to draw Tony.)

⭐ (saved by) a wolf at the door (444 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for DepressingGreenie

“Well, this is unexpected,” Tony says faintly. The giant wolf shadow shades the lip of the hole silently.

⭐ seduction served au naturel (200 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for Neverever

Steve helps Tony prepare for an undercover mission.

⭐ signed, sealed, delivered, i'm yours (1500 words, G) by ralsbecket & starksnack for ishipallthings & gottalovev

⭐ the sound of rain (150 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for starksnack

Tony and Steve, in a tent, in the middle of a thunderstorm.

⭐ the stars look very different today (1529 words, G) by starkly for ishipallthings

Adventurer Tony Stark and his faithful chronicler Steve Rogers camp out under the stars, just like any other night on the job. But this night doesn't end the same as any other night.

⭐ Through the Looking-Glass (7002 words, T) by oluka for navaan

The year is 1942, and Tony Stark is racing against the clock to get his hands on a magical artifact. It's just his luck that the artifact throws him into a whole different universe, where he meets a familiar face.

⭐ Tony Stark and the Captain America mystery (5878 words, M) by gottalovev for DepressingGreenie

Tony has been obsessed for months about rumors of a mysterious soldier who consistently pulls off extraordinary feats of courage for the Allies. He thought he had a good lead, but now Tony's lost in the forest and a scary beast is following him.

⭐ We Meet Again Under the Light of the Moon (700 words, G) by DepressingGreenie for Fluffypanda

Turned into a werewolf while investigating Doom in Latveria, Tony disappears into the European wilderness. He's half feral, with the wolf in him slowly beginning to override his human sense. He's lost and alone, desperate for someone to help him.

⭐ What You Bring in From the Cold (6207 words, T) by navaan for gottalovev

“What do you mean, go look for Captain America? He died during the last Great War.”

Fury has a strange job for Tony Stark that involves following the last steps Captain America took before he went MIA in World War I.

⭐ when my time comes (don't leave me behind) (200 words, G) by Lets_call_me_Lily for Cathalinaheart

Being left behind as the trainee chronicler sucks, but at least it means that Captain America's missions are unimpeded.

⭐ You make me feel so bubbly (802 words, G) by Sadisticsparkle for starksnack

As Steve twirled his glass, the swirling champagne bubbles evaporated as quickly as his own enjoyment of the party. He hated the food, he hated the company, and he hated that Tony was flirting with somebody else.
