Alphabet Challenge: Kinks

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

TITLE: Kinks
AUTHOR: Nix (keparker AT shaw DOT ca)
FANDOM/COMIC TITLE: Avengers
CHARACTERS/PAIRING: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (Captain America/Iron Man)
CATEGORY: Slash
RATING: G
WORD COUNT: 300 even. (By accident!)
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: Musings on Steve and Tony's sexual compatibility.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine. Not making money.
ARCHIVE Y/N: Yes, of course, to anyone who wants it. (Although I'd appreciate it if non-"Tales Of Suspense" folks drop me a quick note to tell me where the story is going.)

NOTES: I'm sorry, folks. I fully intended to write porn for this prompt. But when I saw down to do it, the muses abandoned me. :-( So you get a few paragraphs of "does this count as fic?" exposition that I've been pondering instead.

The gossip columns and tabloids speculate endlessly about Tony's sex life. The endless string of dates inspired one of two reactions: either he's easily bored and therefore in need of exotic entertainment, or he's wildly sexually adventurous and quickly scares off his bedmates. It doesn't matter than Tony had only actually slept with a handful of people. Okay, maybe two handfuls. The point is, the media is utterly convinced that his bedroom antics could put an adult video store out of business if only there were tapes.

This made the reactions interesting when he and Steve went public with their relationship, because half the media seemed to think that Captain America didn't even know what sex was. After the first storm of confusion was over, the gossips settled into a series of "stories" which revealed Tony's increasingly bizarre kinks one at a time and predicted, each and every time, that Steve was absolutely, definitely, on the verge of leaving him this time.

But months went by and Steve didn't go anywhere. Finally, some mysterious tabloid threshold was reached and the stories started speculating on what bizarre kinks Steve must have to keep Tony interested for so long.

The truth is, Steve is damn near as vanilla as everyone thinks. He has a more than aesthetic appreciation for certain items out of Tony's wardrobe, he loves dirty talk (even though he has to be on the verge of coming before he can reciprocate), and he's willing to indulge Tony in a little light bondage. That's about it.

But the dictionary definition of "kink" is "bizarre or unconventional sexual preferences." In that sense Steve has one huge kink, a kink that, for Tony, dwarfs all other kinks.

He wants to be with Tony just because it's him. Steve doesn't need anything else.

--End--

*giggles* Oh this counts as fic!

i love that Steve has a Tony kink... I also like the supposition that Steve must have a kinky side to stay with Tony XD !

Love <3 annnd I prod the evil Tony Bunny... there has to be kink hidden in there!

Very amusing, though a tad woobie at Tony's thoughts that Steve's biggest kink is just wanting to be with him. :)

Tabloid coverage of all our Marvel and DC boys and girls is so much fun, isn't it? ;)

You may not believe me, but I really like this- in some ways, more than porn. (Although I do love me some Crimson-brand porn. Mmmm....where were we?) It fills in one of those little gaps in Steve and Tony's relationship- namely, where Tony's playboy attitude and Steve's innocence intersect. And it made me go aww at the end- I can see Steve being that straightforward about it with Tony, and Tony loving him forever because of it. You show us how two diverse people fit together, and it's making me tear up a little.

This bit made me laugh, but then I got to this bit:

and just about died.

And the ending is just warm and fluffy and perfect. I love Tony thinking of Steve just wanting him for him as something "bizarre or unconventional." It's sort of sweet and sad at the same time.

Okay, that was just lovely. :)

At some point, I'm just gonna have to give up and accept that I'm reading Avengers' fic, aren't I? Damn.

Awwww. This is a big awwwww.

It might even be relaxing for Tony, not being expected to be a big kinky lothario, because any kind of sex with him makes Steve happy.

[kate-swynford.livejournal.com]

Lovely story. I loved Steve's "kinky" side.:)

[mardahin.livejournal.com]

This is so sweet, in that fluffy yet grounded kind of way. Great fun to read, and it gives such a pretty picture of their life, even as it skirts around so much. Well done, as always.

I love this: "because half the media seemed to think that Captain America didn't even know what sex was"
because it's totally true :D

TONY, STEVE IS NOT UNCONVENTIONAL BY LOVING YOU *kicks him*

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Very sweet, actually.

[runenklinge.livejournal.com]

awwwwwww....


awwwwwwwww

Don´t we all love the tabloids? can´t wait until alena sees this^^

[chaosakita.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is just so lovely~

[fire-tears.livejournal.com]

Definitely counts as fic. *g* Don't encourage me with the tabloid thing, though; I might be tempted to write up some articles about Tony's bedroom adventures.


his bedroom antics could put an adult video store out of business if only there were tapes.

I actually burst out laughing when I read that line. That is GOLD. And the media being confused about Captain America actually knowing what sex is was quite funny, and sadly, I can see that. I suppose they can always blame Tony for being the evil seducer of one of their country's most important and beloved national icons.

The last two lines were so sweet, because for Tony, that would be a big thing. Steve doesn't want him for his money, or just because he's a genius, or because he's famous, or anything else. He just loves Tony. The end.

Awwww. <3

Awwwww. *melts* This is the fluffiest kinky fic I've ever read. I really like the way you have the progression going from rampant speculation on Tony's kinkiness (the image of him scaring off his lovers with nipple clamps and cat o'nine tails cracked me up) to debates over how kinky Steve had to be made perfect sense...as did the conclusion. You play deftly on Tony's brokenness (oh Tony, loving you isn't bizarre, surely!) without dwelling on it too painfully...in short, I loved it. :)

I'm totally not even halfway in the "know" on Avengers. But I found a Tony/Steve and then most are just so well-written and full of greatness that I ignore I have no idea what's really going on beyond a very cursory knowledge of them and just enjoy the love.

But they're cute. Steve has a Tony kink. I think most of us do.

[sswiftstrike.livejournal.com]

It's soooooooooooooo sweet. I love how fluffy you made it, definitly not what I was expecting when I looked at the title, but all the sweeter because of it.

It's really sad that Tony would think Steve loving him is a big kink though... Tony, lots of people love you. It's just sad that he doesn't realize it. Make me want to go hurt those who hurt him... but I think Steve would do an even better job.

You should write another one when Steve realizes what Tony thinks is Steve's kink.

Aww. I'm sure this wasn't meant to be, but I found this incredibly bittersweet and cute. Also, a little Tony!angst is present. Love.
