An upcoming Avengers comic, Avengers Assemble #1 - and interview with the artist, Mark Bagley.

I found this comment on Cap to be interesting:

"I try and depict him as the de facto leader that all the other Avengers naturally, maybe even subconsciously, defer to," he admits. "[Tony] Stark has a man crush on him. Thor just flat out respects him. Hawkeye would be jealous of him if he didn’t like and admire him so much. And [Black Widow] is smart enough to know Cap is the man—in a good way."

Bolding mine.

:D

It was recently brought to my attention this might be something other folks would be interested in.

When AO3 enabled the ability to create feeds from fandom tags, I immediately (well, after one or two mishaps) made the one in the subject line. I figured even if the option was there to make one for only Steve/Tony fics, that wouldn't catch the ones where they were present but not a couple, and in any case I like gen and other pairings as well.

So if anyone else wants to see the most recently posted fanfics to AO3 set in the Marvel Avengers Movie universe, just subscribe to the feed here.

And I really should look up some Marvel icons for this account.

Title: Santa!Steve and Tony the Red-Nosed Reindeer Cross Stitch Ornaments
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] arachnes_web(chujo-hime on tumblr) and Mitters on tumblr
Rating: G
Pairing/Character(s): Tony/Steve
Notes: The awesome Mitters was nice enough to draw me these two images so I could turn them into patterns and stitch them up. (For any fellow stitching nerds out there, I stitched both of these 1 over 1 on 28-count evenweave fabric.)

Artist: [livejournal.com profile] anruiukimi
Rating: G
Pairing/Character(s): Tony/Steve
Notes: This took several weeks, and started because I needed to do a pony test with Minky. I had lots of red minky sitting around, and, well, TONY. ::laughs:: Once I got Tony done, I realized that he'd be lonely without a Steve, and, well, the rest is history, as they say. 


Click below to see more pictures! (Since everyone is commenting here, I was worried that y'all aren't seeing the rest :P )



Steve and Tony had a rough start, but they get along great now...

It appears that Marvel allows Hulu to stream all six episodes of the motion comic, Iron Man: Extremis for free. If you have no clue what Extremis is or haven't watched these, I suggest that you should.

So, I've known about the bobbleheads for a while, but I was never able to get my hands on them because they weren't sold locally for me and I refuse to buy them off the internet because the paint job for toys are known to be incredibly lackluster. I wanted not a half-assed paint job, but at the very least, a decent one. Then, one day, I walked into my local department store to find Listerine and lo and behold...THE BOBBLIES. THEY EXIST!

AND NOW I HAVE THEM! Iron Man and Captain America! ♥ (Although I had to run to 10 different Targets in the Bay Area just to find the ones in the *best* condition, I have them! Totally worth it.)They bob their heads next to each other at my desk. They're too ridiculously cute to ignore so I stare at them all day and hope that it's May already.

Title: A Long Way to Go
Author:[livejournal.com profile] grand_duc
Artists: [livejournal.com profile] angel_inoshiand [livejournal.com profile] stormseye
Beta:[livejournal.com profile] jazzypom  , who's been with me on this since last November. Without her this fic would not be half as good. Any mistakes left are my own.
Universe: 616, with a bit of movieverse and god knows what else. It's an AU what dod you expect.
Pairing/characters: Steve/Tony, various Avengers and other Marvel characters.
Word count: around 26.000 words.
Rating: pg-13, maybe light R for some concepts.
Disclaimer: I do not own those characters, Marvel and Disney do.
Prompt: a historical AU where Tony is a young nobleman who is kidnapped and sold into slavery by business rivals, and Steve is some kind of warrior who purchases him either for armour care or because he says he can build trebuchets or something. Tony assumes he'll also be performing sex slave duties, and when Steve turns out to find banging people who are technically his property off-putting, Tony gets quite irritable and demands to be taken advantage of.
From the 1st round of the Avenger kink meme.
Summary: Tony is not a very good slave, Steve is in over his head.
Warnings: Slavery and what goes with it including issues of consent.
Author's Notes: This is by far the longest fic I have written so far. The most complex too. I'm not entirely satisfied with it but If I want to post sometime this week nevermind today this will have to do. Hope you like it.
The fic takes place in a fantasy medieval world that has more population movement than ours did (You have more immigration) and where women have something close to equal right (They can inherit, be member of guilds, practice trades including soldiering although they are a minority)
 
 S.H.I.E.L.D, the Avengers, the X-men, the Fantastic Four and probably some other teams but those are the ones I know enough to include, are mercenary companies currently hired by one city to kick out the invading barbarian.

First the art.

[livejournal.com profile] angel_inoshi really went above and beyond what could be expected of her and made this: I don't even know what to call it There is *music*

and [livejournal.com profile] stormseye  has made this awesome art

Now to the fic which I hope will do honnor to the art:

Interested in reading up on your favorite Avengers, but unsure where to start? There are official DVD libraries of back issues and Marvel Digital Unlimited on offer, but what to read? Don't want to sit through five issues of Cap hallucinating for no particularly good reason? Now there's an online guide for that! Well, two.



The Avengers for The Iron Man / Captain America Fan is now fully updated and covers every single issue from Heroes Reborn in the mid-90's through Civil War for both general plot and Cap and Iron Man content!


Also, for all your Cap backstory need, it is joined by the brand shiny new Captain America Comics for the Ficcing Fan, helping you figure out which characters make a major appearance in an issue, and plots and things of fannish interest it might contain. This guide covers every issue of Captain America from Heroes Reborn through Civil War.


Never pick up a back issue looking for slashy moments, only to find that Cap is off sulking and Iron Man is in a different book California ever again!



Note: Currently these only include the actual comic book titles Captain America and Avengers / New Avengers. No spin offs, minis, or non 616 universes have been reviewed at this time.


Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] elspethdixon and [livejournal.com profile] seanchai, who loaned me some of their comic book library, so I could finish this monster.

...to bring you a mod-approved promotion!



Every fandom needs some good merfolk!AU. Come join the Merfolk Ficathon, where our characters get wet and awesome. Whether you like your merfolk realistic or cracky, this is the ficathon to let them loose in the water. Author sign ups last from August 5th to October 1st. A helpful prompt round will be in effect from August 5th to August 31st.



Maybe Tony's brilliance is the result of mixed blood. Maybe Steve has a secret, and Tony is suspicious. Maybe the Iron Man suit doesn't have to be water-proof. All these possibilities can be yours at the Merfolk Ficathon (come on, tell me that merman doesn't look like Steve just a bit).

Thank you mods, for your permission to post.

So I was watching an episode of the Super Hero Squad (If you don't watch this show, you really should. There are tons and tons of Marvel characters that get play and the humor is pretty intelligent.), and there was a Steve and Tony moment that just had me rolling on the floor.

Steve and Carol have been semi-brainwashed by a villain running for the position of (evil!) mayor. The squad doesn't take kindly to having a villain on board the Helicarrier. Steve's first reaction?

Well, I put the video clip up on my YouTube account so you could join in the LOLZ. Enjoy! :D



The DVD set for Season 1 comes out on 7/13/2010 and there are streaming episodes up on the Marvel website (I believe).

Technically, this is a post relating to Steve and Tony...or maybe a tribute to my love of them.  See, I ended up with this new little Thoroughbred colt, and I need a name for him--both a barn/call-name and a registered name.  I named my last one "Remy" and his show name was "Royal Gambit", to give you an idea.  I wanted this one to be my Avengers pony (specifically Tony or Steve).  I was hoping you guys might have some good ideas!

Yo, I still don't have art or fan fiction offerings, but this time I've got some amusing videos.  One's features a super intelligent toddler who is both rich and a genius who builds himself a suit.  The other's an offical EA teaser trailer for The Sims 3 expansion pack, Ambitions, which features several Marvel and DC parodies but stars their version of Tony Stark and the armor. Just thought I'd share.

There's a comm on LJ called [livejournal.com profile] dear_character where you write letters to characters about whatever you feel like.  You can yell at them for they've done recently, or gush on them with gallons and gallons of love - whatever you feel like. Me?  As my first post on [livejournal.com profile] dear_character , I wrote to Tony Stark, having been inspired by a friend of mine from a conversation we had at lunch today concerning Tony's promiscuity.  It has Steve/Tony hints, as well as me warning Tony to do himself a favor and not die of AIDS.
