Question for a new member and lover of this pair

Ok, so I have just started to get into the Steve/Tony pairing and I can't help but wonder the more I read and look at fanfics/fanart.

Who do you like best as the bottom in the relationship? Steve or Tony and WHY!? (if you like them both as top/bottom, then ignore this k?) :) or give me your thoughts-I don't care.

Personally I love Tony as a bottom because well I guess because Steve makes one awesome hot top. lol and I have a thing for Tony being hurt or 'powered over' or really because Tony is in fact a playboy and even if not hinted could be one to be with both genders and he could really just make Steve forget all his troubles with women.    

Anyways! Your thoughts-GO! 




And please know stereotypes in my opinion should NOT involve fandoms- know they can't really be separated- (blame dumb people in the world)- but to me they kinda can. I mean really it depends on the story.

1) yaoi terms really don't work outside of yaoi/shonen-ai fandoms, and have a whole lot of sets & circumstances surrounding them which don't at all apply in Western fandoms.

2) for top/bottom, I vastly prefer bottom!Tony and almost 100% of the time will not read bottom!Steve, with the very rare exception where those roles are obviously holding absolutely zero impact upon the characterization in the author's head, which, like I said, is very rare. I prefer my fic to have a D/s edge, and particularly for Tony to be the one with power issues he finds release from by trusting his partner enough let them take control (a feat which is greatly aided by the Tony/Pepper scenes in which she implies she punishes him sexually and he is more than okay with that fact).
