Spoilers under the cut!
( Read more... )
Anyway! Thoughts? Reactions? Theories on how this ties into the end of Original Sin and Avengers/New Avengers? Etc?
Immediately after Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve enlists Tony to help him fuck a mind-wiped and perfectly compliant Bucky Barnes.
Please heed the warnings!
Set sometime shortly before Age of Ultron #1.
Steve is buckling under the pressure, guilt-ridden and increasingly isolated. Tony is struggling with his own guilt over being unable to do more, but there is one thing he knows he can do: support Steve. And Tony will support Steve until his legs crumple beneath him and his breath leaves his lungs.
Title: Induction Doesn’t Stop a Black Swan
Rating M
Pairing: Steve/Tony, +Illuminati characters
Word Count: 4,328
Summary: MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR NEW AVENGERS #3 AND AVENGERS.
Sometimes an infinite amount of white swans means all swans are white. But sometimes, sometimes, you get a Black Swan. Tony only hopes he can find one before it’s too late, and he lets Steve down. Again.
A fill-in-the-blank of Tony’s thoughts during the events of New Avengers, leading up to the first issue of Avengers.
A/N: Because I needed to make Tony CRY over what he did in New Avengers #3.
My apologies if I get any facts wrong. I’ve got a dozen Marvel books on my pull list atm, but I’m not reading EVERYTHING, so there could be a couple minor things that are incorrect (the suit is nanites right now, right? And not based in Extremis? I’m not reading IM sorry I just can’t deal with Land’s art DX)
Title: Freeway (formerly Patiently) - Ao3
Beta: 3bird, who is perfect and marvelous in every way.
Word Count: about 8.3k this chapter.
Summary: In which Steve is trying to find a place for himself in the twenty-first century, Tony is appallingly unfaithful to Pepper, and Loki returns to earth, joins the Avengers, and does not quite seek redemption or absolution. Part three of the Stone series.
Notes: Okay, finally starting to rewrite Patiently. Here is chapter one! Please enjoy!
( If he'd known about Pepper, that night with Stark never would've happened. He's got more self-respect than that. He doesn't like hurting people. If he doesn't believe these two things about himself, he's lost. )
Title: Stone Series | Ao3
Author: et2brute
Word count: ~70k
Rating: nc17 pr0nz
Summary: Tony's having an affair with Steve and they feel pretty shitty about it; Loki is sent back to earth to earn forgiveness for his heinous crimes, and it's not going very well. Everyone has a pretty rough time. Mainlining Tony&Steve with some Thor/Loki and Clint/Natasha on the side. Also some Vital Stuff with Pepper and Bruce since they are the only legit nice guys.
As it stands, what I have posted is, generally, the series in its completeness. However, I am in the process of heavily revising it; I got a lot of positive feed back, and I feel like I can make it even better. I'm looking for someone to beta for me. If you are interested, please let me know! The series is about 70k words, but the section I've rewritten so far - Room by Room - has jumped from about 3.5k words to roughly 17k words. So I don't know how long this monster will end up being. It will probably be a lot of work for everyone involved. In addition to the four parts that are out, I have at least one other short story planned and another chaptered sequel that will focus more on Thor and Loki, though Steve and Tony permeate the series throughout, and cause kind of a lot of collateral damage.
I have never had a beta before, and I would super appreciate one. I'd like this fic to be the best it can!If you would like to beta for me, let me know and I'll share the revised version of Room by Room with you on googledocs. Or email you a word doc or something, whatever, I'm versatile :)
If this is the wrong place for this, I apologize!
Thanks, guys!

EDIT: Oh, wow! I didn't think I'd get a response so fast! I have three lovely individuals offering to beta, and I believe that is all I need for now. THANK YOU GUYS.
